Halo: Master Chief Collection
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 3:48 pm
Didn't see the big news at E3? Well for you Halo fans out there, Halo: Master Chief Collection was announced? What is this, you ask? This game has all the mainstream Halo games from 1-4. Now before you go and say that this is practically four old games being thrown into your face, let me explain.
Two very big things that are included within this game are the long awaited Halo: Combat Evolved Multiplayer(now playable on Xbox Live) and the now graphically updated Halo 2 Anniversary Edition. Everybody wanted Halo 1's multiplayer very bad upon Halo Anniversary's launch, but only recieved multiplayer maps as DLC for Halo Reach. However, 343 Industries will completely allow you to play the original multiplayer online with your friends(all maps and game types included). Halo 2 will also have its multiplayer system, as well as Halo 3 and 4 getting the same treatment(again, all maps and game types included). Halo will also keep its anniversary style, but Halo 3 and 4 will keep the same graphics. All four games will be at 1080p and 60fps.
The biggest subject here is Halo 2, which is getting the biggest treatment of all. First we have the graphics, which will now have an anniversary style. This will let you see the whole Halo 2 experience in an even more beautiful way. You can also switch between the new and original graphics style much like that of Halo Anniversary. Another big thing is that 343 had announced 6 reimagined maps from Halo 2. Other small things include Hidden Terminals like Halo Anniversary during the campaign missions and still having the choice to be an elite in multiplayer(also in Halo 3 as well).
It is unknown whether if Halo 3 and Halo 4 will retain the use of forge and saved videos. All campaign levels will be unlocked from the start to allow you to play any level you desire to relive your favorite moments in the halo series. It has also been said that you can now play multiplayer co-op campaign with your friends. You can play any map from any game through certain gametypes or playlists. There is now a new gametype-esc mode where you can play missions(for example playing through memorable moments in the campaigns). The last thing that is worth noting is that it is unknown whether if there will be a ranking system and(if any) armors that you can wear in one or all of the halo multiplayers.
Oh, and the Halo Nightfall cinematic as well as the Halo 5 Beta(playable December 27, 2014 through January 22) can be found in the bonus menu. What I possibly love most about this is the revival of Halo 1 and 2's multiplayer modes(Halo 3 sort of included being that its a fucking ghost town in there). This kind of gives me all the reason to get an Xbox One some time in the future, and might give you a reason as well.
Look at me editing. Also this comes out November 11, 2014.
