The Price of Loving Halo

Good afternoon, Spartans!

I don’t want to add to the negativity, I’ll try very hard not to.

Maybe here I will find answers to my questions.

I’ve been a Halo fan since I was 5 years old, when I didn’t even have an Xbox and played on my computer without a mouse on the touchpad. For 16 years I still love this game series, I’ve bought all books and art books (which is not so easy because I live in Russia and there are only ~7 books in my language).
Believe me, in Russia it’s hard to find anything on the Halo universe and the prices are high.

%This was a little lyrical introduction%.

Then HALO:MCC comes out, players get all the games in a bundle, it’s great. But for some reason they don’t get part 5. (I was only able to get through part 5 when my brother just brought me his Xbox for a couple of days)

Halo Infinite came out and players didn’t get any bonuses for pre-ordering?

-Why do Xbox Game Pass owners get bonuses in the game, but players who pre-ordered the game do not?

Russia also has quite a large community of players. At one time, 343i even made Halo Online with developers from Russia.

-Why then Halo Infinite has no Russian localization?
And the text is in Russian with mistakes.
-The ranking system in Halo Infinite is flawed. My rank is Diamond 2. For some reason my allies don’t even understand how to play Oddball.
-Optimization on the PC is bad.
My configuration:
RTX3060 6gb
16 ram
ssd 512
Ryzen 5

-Why do I get 60 fps in single player with a friend? Will there be patches in the future?

I hope for your understanding and for at least some answers. Maybe I don’t understand something and you can correct me.

Halo 5 was never part of the MCC, Propebly because it was the newest entrance at the time and because it was almost as big as MCC. the storage space would have been enourmes.

I would suggest to import the books you want in english, i do that too, I dont have big shipping costs I must add, I dont know who it is in russia.

They didnt really work together with Halo Online, they wanted to stop the project (since it wasnt oficially licensed) However since the community was exited about, 343 did some kind of deal and incorperated some ideas from Halo Online.

Pre order Bonus ist mostlz from the sellers side, thats whz diffrent stores often have diffrent Bonuses, in germanz there was a 2m standee as a bonus in 2 stores for example. It entirelz depends on the stores and their cooperation with microsoft/343.
Game Pass pre order bonus is propably a merketing move and gives people who play it through that something only they have, since they didnt own the game through buying it i guess.
I have no idea why it isnt localised, maybe some countrys dont like the stuff thats inside of the games and censore/forbid them. It propably isnt because 343 just didnt want to.

There are diffrent teams that work on lacalisations, who knows who was assigned for that, it could be patched in the future.
There are problems with the ranking system, give 343 some time, they act pretty fast on feedbyck so far.

Cant say anything about optimization, my laptop has worse specs and runs fine, cant help you there, sorry

They are working on Coop for storymode, they had to leave it out of the realese due to time constrains. We dont know when, most people thing its coming in season 2 or 3

I am by no means a official, those are just some suggestions that might be helpful as to why those things could be.

5 never joined mcc as well it’s storage is about the size of mcc plus why at the time put it in when it was the newest?

Now with infinite here some may say now that 5 isn’t the newest it can be added to mcc right? Wrong 5 is basically too big to add in and working on mcc to make it work with 5 would be a nightmare to do

So as it stands 5 won’t join the mcc cause it’s too big to port

I dunno if there’s anything “too big” to port.

It won’t join MCC but there’s a good chance it’ll get ported to PC at some point.
