Wow, I mean just wow. I was expecting Halo 3 BWC on the Xbox One at some point, but never in my wildest day dreams could I imagine we’d get ODST, CE Anniversary, AND Halo 4 on BWC as well. Now I actually have a reason to make some space on my Hard Drive, Halo 5 your days are numbered! >:3
I think its a great announcement. Now just add Halo 2 and we’re set! MCC is great, but if they OG games have working backwards compatible multiplayer, then MCC is only good for the 60FPS and upgraded graphics for the four games’ campaigns.

The original Halo:CE and Halo 2 are original xbox games. We will get them with the BWC later this year when it expands onto original games.

Considering it took us two years to get all the 360 games backwards compatible, lets not jump and assume that Halo 2 and Halo CE will be backwards compatible so soon.
Lmao it’s as if 343 was like, “screw it, if we can’t fix MCC, we’ll do the next best thing” then BOOM we get all the classic games available to play on our Ones, hopefully without being plagued with the bugs MCC has.
Frankly, this is an awesome move for those old fans to replay all the classic games again in their original 360 state and die in a pool of nostalgia (I know I’ll be doing that). Additionally, I’m really looking forward to playing ODST Firefight again, and being able to connect to Halo 3’s current 360 playerbase is going to be cool, and sure to be good news for them, too!
A little bit late, but anyways great move, Xbox/343!

And Multiplayer. Can’t forget that because OG Live isn’t coming back to play the games online.
I hope the populations for H3 and H4 are healthy. Reach has a healthy daily population but the frame rate issues make it almost unbearable to play. I hope H3 and H4 aren’t plagued with the same frame rate issues. I can’t wait to try them!!!

The game received an update a while ago. Download it again and give it a go.
I’m only really excited about ODST firefight. It was the only decent firefight made.
So this means we have the following Halo titles on Xbone:
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (MCC)
Halo 2 Anniversary (MCC)
Halo 3
Halo 3 (MCC)
Halo 3: ODST
Halo 3: ODST (MCC)
Halo 4
Halo 4 (MCC)
Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
Halo Wars
Halo Wars 2
Halo 5
Halo: Spartan Assault
Halo: Reach
That is an absurd amount of Halo! Fifteen games! (sorta)

This is a move that should’ve been done in the first place without even releasing the mcc.It was a pure cash grab and the announcement of this bc shows that they never should have done it and that they basically gave up on it

After talking to Sketch, its not that the MCC cannot be fix, its just that there are so many issues that its not possiple to fix them all, and an update is not out of the question, how ever he does believe that the 360 versions run better and thinks that it is great that they are being re-released to the Xbox One.

well after playing the game at RTX i agree, that not only does H3BC play better than H3MCC, but is much smoother than H3XB360. Sketch was also very honest about alot of stuff and we even did have the discussion about how much of a failure the MCC was and why it was that way. He wasnt affraid to talk badly about 343 of Mircosoft. As much as i would love to see the MCC updated, i still prefer the OG games anyways, so it doesnt matter awhole lot that 343 is killing the MCC with og Halo games, it will actually benefit the MCC as the people who want to play something other than Halo 3 will be able to without going in to those speical Playlists. I.e. Playing Halo 2 Big Team Battle will be easier since people wont vote Halo 3 or 4 so people who love Halo 2 and want BTB wont get stuck with play Halo 3 BTB or go Play Halo 2 Ranked.

Halo 2 isn’t gonna be backwards compatible for awhile because it’s an og Xbox game,but by also doing this we won’t have h2a matchmaking or the new maps

You can never have too much Halo, friend!
also you missed two halo games in that list; Halo Wars (Xbox 360 version) and Halo Reach, both are backward compatible.

Nowhere did I talk about H2BC. H2BTB, CE BTB, H2 and CE slayer will be easier since the people who vote only H3 will be gone playing H3BC and regarding H2BC with XBL 343 made no comment when we talked. So even if we do get H2 it won’t matter if we can’t play online. So the MCC could still remain the best outlet for that, as well as the only way to play CE online.

Wait, for real? Halo Wars has been on my shelf this whole time and I could have played it?

What playerbase? There are ~200 people at any given time that actually play the game, and 5/6 are in Social Slayer. Hopefully, this will expand the playerbase enough so that other playlists will be populated.

The active population on 360 Halo 3 is indeed quite low. As it is, it’s almost impossible to find a match outside of Social Slayer and Lone Wolves (Custom Games are still going strong though). I can’t stand the newer Halo titles however, so an increased player count is definitely something to look forward to.
