Hmmm, I don’t have a clue about the stuff that happened in Spartan Assault. In fact, I missed on quite a lot of Halo story in the last 2 years. Last thing I read was Glasslands.

Might be a good time to start buying new Halo stuff.

I’m guessing they’ll be doing a unique ranking system for the MCC only.

And Spops is also included if anyone was curious.

Expect your getting four games for the price of one, new graphics, a new look at the Halo show, and the Halo 5 Guardians Beta keys.

I don’t know about you, but that seems like it’s worth $60 dollars to me.

You may want to read more into the new lore, as the games are more intertwined with the external canon. But let’s just say…Merg 'Vol wont be bothering anyone again.I haven’t read Mortal Dictata yet, so you’re not the only one who isn’t up-to-date.

Frankie said that they would later on go in to specifics about it. So, as of right now, we don’t really know.

He said this during the interview on IGN.

Hey, Mac is back! Feels like 2012 all over again.

On another note, I saw where they confirmed forge for H2A. Something tells me any free time I have is going to be spent there. Oh the fun I’ll have. Oh the sleep I’ll lose.

Part of me understands where you’re coming from. The other part of me wants to call you a heretic. I think it’s a pretty good deal, honestly. Plus that comes with a remastered Halo 2 with forge and Halo 5 beta, so I’d say it’s a really good deal for 60 bucks.

I get where you’re coming from on the “Games I already own bit” though.

Doing better than I am. Last Halo expanded universe I read was Ghosts of Onyx. I’m a good 8 years behind on the Halo canon.

Well, I am still behind with Primordium, Silentium, The Thursday War, Mortal Dictata and all the comics.
But I’ve been eating A Song of Ice and Fire with 1000 pages like it was a piece o’ cake, so I guess it won’t take long to catch up. >:D

Quick way to rank up in the MCC - get a full team and everyone votes for Halo 4 maps. Half the other team will rage quit. :slight_smile:

Hey, Silent. It’s awesome to see these familiar members! All we need is Yiazmat & Daedaols then we’re in business! XD

They’re really good! Especially Silentium, my favourite Halo book behind The Cole Protocol.

Neat!

Anyway, I think it’s time for me to go to bed. Enjoyed forum-ing with you!

GN8 :smiley:

So, I saw something that got me excited!

(Other than Halo)

Warframe coming to the Xbox one!

Which one of you thinks they’re ninja enough to be a Tenno?

Warframe to XB1? Sweet!

Also:

WEIRD STEALTH FINALLY WON CMOTW?

Haven’t been here in a while, so forgive me.

I think I can be a ninja.

:stuck_out_tongue: You’re forgiven, and yes I did, it was even tweeted.

> Congratulations to @WeirdStealth, a US soldier of the Army Reserves and our newest Community Member of the Week! http://aka.ms/WeirdStealth

> I think I can be a ninja.

Then you should be ninja enough to be a Tenno, just remember, Vor isn’t that hard of a boss/enemy, Infested may not have -Yoink- on the Flood, but they’re just as mean and scary as the Flood. Grineer aren’t that scary as they may look, Corpus are mean powerful enemies with weapons that eat shields like candy.

Ah, that’s so cool they’ve started tweeting them now! I also noticed they made a new twitter account: @Halo

Yiaz is pretty active actually. Weird that we haven’t seen him today. Daedalous on the other hand I haven’t seen on in a while. Even Tomo has shown up on occasion.

Otherwise I think the gang is all here!

TomoK still hangs out here? I haven’t seen him in ages either! & it’s good to see a members like Yiaz(& you I presume) are still active. I’ve wanted to be more active for a while, but I’ve just been very busy.

@ SilentA98, TheOnlyDJUKS, MetalxTongue, Austin7934

I can understand that I’m probably going to be in minority of players really not overly impressed with this. I felt the same way when HCEA was released. It just feels like they “George Lucas’d” the Halo series.

I won’t say that there isn’t a value to this for people. I’m sure that those who traded in their 360’s for an XB1 are excited to get their hands on the series again.

Just not for me. I’m still an XB1 hold out … I still have my 360 and I have all the games already. I’ll probably hold out on getting an XB1 until I see if they release a Halo themed console in the future. And maybe at that point I may be more interested in getting the Master Chief series on the new system.

But for now, I’m going to file it under “meh …”

I don’t think it’s a new twitter account, I think it’s more of a new handle, because all of their tweets using the old handle was moved to the @Halo handle/account.

Anyone else notice that when they lined up Chief’s figure from the cover art going from CE to H4, left to right, Chief’s head does a perfect turn left to right…?
