With a solid PC port that has server browser support for each online portion of the game, all sins will be forgiven.

 

Let it be known.

Seems we might possibly getting a PC port? Of course, some really fucking stupid ideas getting upvoted, but maybe it would be worth it to sign up for an account and suggest something...

 

For me, behind PC support with an actual server browser and custom map/game/gametype rotations, it would be fixing the horrendous UI/user experience.

I'm not holding my breath for anything 343 does, but if they made the MCC a play-anywhere game so that I don't have to buy it again on PC, that would be nice. Releasing classic Halo on Steam with full modding support would be nicer though, even if it means I have to buy them again.

If they fix it so that it is a playable experience again I will do whatever I need to in order to pick it back up, even if that means buying another Xbone... I would obviously prefer a PC port but I really miss playing Halo online.

I'm incredibly optimistic about this... Especially the blurbs about offline LAN support, the possibility of a custom game browser, and Halo: CE features.

 

The fact that they have chosen to address the MCC and do a massive overhaul like this is a really positive sign, I think.

 

I talked to the wife, and she has agreed to me getting an Xbox One X and a 4k TV when this update goes live. Very excited.

And the new potential additions too like Reach and ODST Firefight would be amazing!

Update #3

That right there is a purty menu screen. UI is still weird though.

Better than the abomination we have now, at least. Hopefully it will continue to improve as time goes on.

Hey, this thing works now. Definitely lost any semblance on my ability to play it, though - routinely getting my shit stomped online. Couch co-op with the wife is a fuckin' blast, though.

Fun fact: this game released Nov. 11, 2014.

Free Weekend. Just have to download in my case about 100 GB of updates.

There's not enough information about this to be excited for it yet. Halo 2 Anniversary is basically a guarantee, but I can't think of how it would logically fit inside this cumpilation. A single disk containing a Halo 1 Anniversary port, Halo 2 Anniversary, a Halo 3 port, and a Halo 4 port probably makes the most sense, but where does that leave H1A's Reach multiplayer if Reach isn't included? Do they just cut it completely so that Halo 1 Anniversary 2 is just the campaign? Could they re-add Halo 1's original offline multiplayer? Do Halo 3 and Halo 4 keep their online multiplayers? Wouldn't that detract from the significance of Halo 2 Anniversary? Will Cocop ruin this too? So many questions...

If we weren't in the darkest timeline, this thing would be:

• Halo 1 Anniversary Redux with original multiplayer rebuilt for online functionality✅
• Halo 2 Anniversary with original multiplayer + all DLC, online co-op, and modern grafixx ✅
• Halo 3 port ✅ with clean faces mod
• Halo 3 ODST port ✅
• Halo Reach port because apparently one person liked this game ✅
• Halo 4 port that is just an animated slideshow of m cheif and Cortana fanart with this playing in the background

All running at 1080p/60fps. And the entire thing would also be on PC with full Steamworks support. ✅ That's the universe I want to live in.

With modding tools, the ultimate Halo experience can finally be achieved.

Lots of great things for the upcoming PC port. Even a new progression system.
