I got invited to the big launch at the Microsoft store here in Austin on Monday night. Max Hoberman and his Certain Affinity team will be there signing autographs and playing the game with fans before the midnight launch.

Word on the interwebs is that there is a 20GB update for this game that is available today for those that have pre-downloaded the digital version. Twenty fucking gigs?!?

LOL. That's what it sounds like.

LOL. That's what it sounds like.

From what I've heard, you can play any campaign stuff off the disc, and the rest is MP? I don't know, it sounds completely insane.

It's hard to complain when I'm guessing it's one disc and we're getting FOUR complete games for $60 (or $48 with GCU :smug

I'll be all evening tomorrow. Hopefully that update doesnt take too long for me.

From the way they made this sound I thought they were releasing the full versions of each title, so if I wanted to play Halo 1 I could simply select it and only have Halo 1 content in front of me. Turns out MP is basically just Halo 2 with a couple other titles thrown in as an afterthought. Feels like I've been jerked again.

Still waiting on install ahhhhhhh. Listening to this music in the menus takes me back tho. I just want to play some halo 2 dammit!

I have no idea what you're referring to? According to the wiki entry each game features the full suite of mp. I do believe they only "remastered" six maps for Halo 2 Anniversary, but you can still play all of the original maps for that game in classic mode or whatever.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is an upcoming compilation of remastered first-person shooter video games from the Halo series for the Xbox One. It consists of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and their multiplayer modes, complete with their full set of add-on content. All games received graphical upgrades for the release, but Halo 2 received a Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary-style high-definition overhaul. The release will also ship with access to the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta.

The Master Chief Collection consists of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4 (with Halo 2 receiving the Anniversary treatment), replete with their full catalog of extras, including all multiplayer maps and gameplay modes.

All the content is there, but you're restricted to their set playlists for MP, most of which is just Halo 2. Right now there's no way to play just Halo 1 and no playlists specific for Halo 1. So if that's what I want to play, I have to make a private room for it. I was under the impression that each game would have their own exclusive set of playlists for MP, which would have made the most sense. Maybe they'll add a playlist for it, but idk why it wouldn't be there from the start.

 

[Steel Mamba]

The multiplayer playlists for Halo: The Master Chief Collection have to operate across not only different maps and game modes but the games themselves. That seems to have caused some extra issues for the final release, as Halo: Combat Evolved-especific playlists won't be available at launch, while other changes to the existing playlists will exclude some games and maps.

"We are holding on introducing the dedicated Halo: CE playlist. Up until this very day, we’ve been making (and are continuing to make) investments to ensure that Halo: CE’s online/network performance is the best it can be within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and we’re committed to making additional investments to make this happen," the official blog posts stated.

The servers don't work at all for any of the playlists. All this time to polish games that already exist and it's still released incomplete and broken.

All I looked forward to all night at work was getting home and playing this game. I get home and it doesn't even work. So disappointed.

It took a whole minute for my buddies and I to get in the same party. It was frustrating. Once we got it to work, we played Custom Games for 2-3 hours laughing our asses off like the old days. Hope they get this shit working more consistently soon.
