Tonight's Halo Bulletin...

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

Unless I’m mistaken, tonight 343i will be posting their first Halo Bulletin since they announced Hal:The Master Chief Collection.

There have been a lot of questions about the Collection, almost none of which have been answered yet. I’m hoping we’ll get some answers tonight. For example…

1. Will the pre-order skulls, including Bandana, work in all 4 Campaigns (all 45 missions), or just in Halo 2 and Halo:CE?
2. Will my unlocked armor, emblems, stances, and commendations from Halo 3 & Halo 4 transfer to Halo:MCC?
3. Will the Champions DLC content (armor, weapon skins, armor mods, armor skins) finally be usable in Spartan Ops in Halo:MCC?

The first one’s important to me, as I long to be able to happily abuse my favorite weapons not just in Halo 2, but in Halo 3 and Halo 4 as well; not for achievements, no… just for the fun of it. It’s something I’ve wanted since I first played Halo 2’s campaign 10 years ago.

For the second… well, it might not be such a big deal for Halo 3, seeing as armor in that game wasn’t that difficult to unlock (save for Recon), but in Halo 4? I went through a lot of trouble to get the LASO emblem, as well as my Kingslayer emblem; Regicide Master was far from easy to complete, and very frustrating (especially “Executioner”)… and what of my FOTUS armor? Surely that will carry over, if I had it on the Xbox 360? I really don’t want to have to redo all of my commendations and unlock all of my armor all over again. That would be ridiculous.

Thirdly… Spartan Ops and the Champions DLC. Obviously, it’s impossible to fix on the Xbox 360 without risk of breaking things… nut now we’re on a next-gen console, new technology, new possibilities. Surely they have enough space to include the Champions DLC armor, weapon skins, and armor mods in Spartan Ops now? I don’t see why not…

Such unimportant questions lol

Who cares about that barby stuff? There are more important questions that need to get answered.

Such as?

How about we get answers on a ranking system, so we can get some competitive halo back for the first time in years. Secondly, how about system link/lan support information, that is critical. I can’t believe your top priority is what your spartan will look like on day 1.

on neogaf, one of the sources said if you liked halo 2’s ranking system you’ll love halo mcc ranking system.

I actually hope they go one further with #2 and just have everything unlocked from the start. Half the games included don’t have any customization beyond colors and it seems silly that we would have to grind achievements/commendations and all that stuff.

The MCC should be a celebration of Halo and we should just have access to everything from the get go. Maybe a few prizes for veterans and/or all achievements, but for the most part the longevity should come from ranks and the general love for Halo.

As for other more important questions, I just want to see answers on LAN(pre or post launch), ranks, as well as playlists.

Sorry, OP, but I’m with these guys.
I couldn’t care less about the answers to any of your questions.
I literally have zero care about that fluff.

So, you guys just mostly want to know about the ranking system?

Damn, i was expecting new questions.

Have you seen this topic? Why not just post in that one?

343, please, for the love of all things, give these people their ranking system already!!!
Personally, I don’t care about it. Don’t see what the big deal is. Whether it’s for bragging rights or … well, face it, it’s for bragging rights.
Just please give it to them already. If I have to read one more thread about it, I may just cry.
