A realistic look at the MCC

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

Positives- All 4 games so u can play what u want
No sprint
No AA
No bloom
H2a looks awesome, has classic multiplayer feel
Correct number of playlists
Dedicated servers(hopefully there wont be issues)
Looks smooth
All new maps (the 6) IMO were well chosen and look great

Negatives
Grenade indicators/hit markers
No visible rank next to name except for h2a

Overall mostly positive and a HUGE step in the right direction. There are small things like the grenade indicators and bigger things like the visible rank but IMO, overall, 343 did a good job. I was highly disappointed in the ranking but overall, good job.

343 said that there will be ranked playlist for all games just not at launch.

Positives:
Multiplayer From All 4 Halo Games + A H2 Directors Cut Multiplayer
Graphically Updated H2 Campaign
Forge for H3, H4, and H2A
Gungoose (That -Yoink- tight)
Blur Cinematics

Negatives:
Inconsistent Frame Rate on Campaigns
Armor Customization Setback
Lighting Issues in H2A Campaign
No Superbounces :frowning:

It’s really tempting to rage quit these forums with all the constant -Yoinking!- that’s going on. Are we REALLY complaining about a green texture? That’s how far we’ve sank as a community?

9

Looks to be a great game. My only complaint is that customs aren’t dedicated. Now if hosts can be selected by the players via party leader, and people can agree to go 50/50 on host, that completely solves this problem.

They really took the H2 superbounces out?

I saw someone do a super bounce. They are there

Meh. More ranked playlists on the way. Nade indicators are fine. If you threw a good grenade the indicator won’t save them. All it does is not allow you to get lucky through ignorance. Hit markers don’t detract from gameplay. And are more clear damage indicators when lag happens then shield flares.

13

Pros:

  • All 4 main Halo games with Everything unlocked.
  • 5 Separate Multiplayers. Including a directors cut of Halo 2.
  • Campaign Playlists.
  • All new Cinematic’s for Halo 2, Along with new Cinematic’s.
  • Halo 2’s new paint job.
  • Best Forge yet.
  • Halo: Nightfall.
  • Halo 5 Beta access. MORE HALO THIS YEAR!
  • Halo 2 Ranking system.
  • New Terminals.
  • New Skulls.
  • Dedicated server for multiplayer.

Cons:

  • Armor customization is restricted, But not awful.
  • No Halo 2 Ranking system at launch (But reasons are justified)
  • Framerate seems too inconsistent across all the games.

Overall;

One Hell of a Badass Collection, But some tweaks should be made to it post launch.

The positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

But those PC versions of CE maps… Why, why, why 343? Why did you have to use those? I’d have gladly taken low-res versions if it meant the original Battle Creek. I’d have gladly played without the fuel rod gun, flamethrower, and banshee if it meant the original Sidewinder.

Overall though, the positives do outweigh those negatives. MCC is still going to be great.
