    So I guess I should be updating this thread with all the new info.
    As of right now the only major thing that isn't too obvious is the introduction of the Gungoose. A mongoose with guns!

    While playing Destiny, I have this GAINT itch to play Halo again. The memories are something to....well... remember. While playing Destiny my chums and I kinda run out of stuff to talk about and it just ends with a couple sentences here and there saying 'oh um this guy... is doing that' but in Halo it's constant laughing and blurs as each of us have our own personalities (Im the vehicle guy who loves shoving vehicles into places they shouldn't go...) In Halo so much can happen. Custom Games oh my god #RandomExplosionsFTW
    Hell, Destiny is 'lets kill the same guy we've killed over 20 times before!' but something about Halo never gets old. Those old graphics...
    Interesting story though, Maybe why I have such vivid memories of Halo even though im on the young side is well.... When Halo Reach was out for xbox 360, I just started playing Halo CE on the original Xbox! That's right, it was only a couple years ago I went into the gaming scene. Halo was my first videogame ever. It introduced me to games and ultimately is the shooter that made me love FPS's.
    What sucked was since I was completely new to gaming, Halo 1 and 2 I only finished half of the campaign as I 1.) Got lost in Halo 1 for a couple hours. Found exit and never finished mission after that. 2.) Being a newb I was, I stopped the Halo 2 campaign after you play the Arbiter and get introduced to the Flood. The flood scared me shi*less.
    I got a xbox 360 with Halo 3 and no xbox live. I played the campaign for a entire summer and it felt so fun. I never got bored!
    But the real magic was Halo 3 custom games when I finally got Gold..... oh man what have I been missing! Halo 3 Custom games made up the most fun in Halo every Friday night. Now I got Reach, love it. (Campaign wasn't as 'grand' as Halo 3 In my mind though). Halo 4 I've never got. So now when I jump into Halo Masterchief Collection, I have my new Halo skills (oh legendary how I love you!... and hate!) to get me through campaigns with my friends. Old graphics were everything is dark ... halo 2 man but hell yea.
    So I got basically almost 3 campaigns that will kinda be a new experience (with Halo 4 as the Completely New experience hmm....)
    Man sorry for the long ass post. I just needed a place to vent my Halo-ness. If you've made it this far, congrats lol.
    On a side note, Man I understand how PAYLEHORSE8248 writes his posts now. All those tidbits are true passion for the game he loves. His with Titanfall mine with Halo. I get why his posts are so vivid. New respect for that guy lol. He truly loves Titanfall. ;):cool:

    Holy crap! I guess you're big on digitally downloading games lol. I haven't even used 50% of my memory (I think around 30%) and I thought I was using a lot of space! What worries me is that some glitch will happen with my xbox and it'll ruin the MCC... almost happened with CoD Ghosts for me. So I prefer physical now but still the risk of ruining the disk lol. So I guess im just gonna digitally download the MCC is pray it wont mess up. Have you run into any glitches before?

    No glitches at all so far. Of all the games I have, only Forza 5 is on disk. I fully trust that 343 being a Microsoft studio, they'll have their shit together on this.

    I prefer the lazy assed approach to gaming where I tell the xbox what to play and it just loads it. I went through 4 copies of Battlefield 3 on the 360 due to a child who thought it was a skate board, plus my wife 'tidys' things away. Somewhere. No one knows...

    Im downloading the MCC now. I left it on all night and DAYUM it takes so long to download... still going!
    I remember CoD Ghosts... took awhile to download and glitched a little bit (got it fixed thankfully)
    I guess I can be reassured that a Microsoft Studio that has the game that defined the console has their shit together..

    I believe CoD:AW had download issues on both PS4 and the One too. Sloppy buggars!

    I stayed up watching Halo Fest and when Halo:MCC finally released I played like 5 minutes and went to sleep lol. I played today and sucks that multiplayer isn't functioning properly (I only got to play a single match of Halo 2 anniversary) and man the campaign... switching between graphics jeez. Just look at a blank gray wall, switch to updated graphics and be amazed how far Halo has gone!
    Also makes me realize how the early Halo's were more difficult. Halo 2 legendary is gonna be straight up hell in coop/solo since iron is default on. Besides that, I spend most of my time in campaign being lost :rolleyes:

    I had a couple of matches earlier, but it took a long time to get on. Played a couple of custom games with a mate, but that was a bit boring. The campaigns are what it's all about right now, and with 4 of them, there's plenty to do right now!!

    I remember my first multiplayer game was Halo 3. Now im back to Halo 3 and I've realized how much I was crap the first time I played it. Now I notice I can actually get over 4 kills a match which is amazing to me lol.
    My biggest problem with the CE campaign is ... the lack of waypoints. The amount of time I spend lost compared to the amount of time actually playing is such a giant difference lol.

    Very true...

    I played a couple of matches the other night. I ranged from piss poor to pretty good! After coming from Titanfall, the urge to jump to safety is huge, but that's a sure fire way to die on halo.

    There's a client side patch coming next week for matchmaking. Fingers crossed.

    343 have said they are probably releasing it Wednesday. I think they said they already have the patch done but are just testing it now. I've never played Halo 4 before so I hopped into campaign and omfg... the Mantis... my Titanfall dream now in Halo.
