Huh. No Steam DB though. :lol

Guess that "N" turns into "M. If it hits Steam and 343 unfucks the MCC clownshoes release schedule and fixes the games." :doge

Why rush out the game when it has some pretty obvious issues and not minor things you wouldn't notice unless you were running OG Halo 2 on a TV next to your PC monitor? Nobody cares about when these games come out. They just want them to to be nearly perfect.

Gaahh.

Because folks wanted 2-3 over Reach-CE, but they're doing it in time-line/lore order instead of popularity or release order. :doge

343 sucks.   :-\

Audio in Reach still isn't fixed. They're still "investigating" six months later.

At this point, they should just give the fucking IP to the El Dewrito team and fuck off. At least THEY don't fuck up with a pirated Russian F2P Halo 3 engine. :doge

No I get the game order releases.
I just don't get what the rush is. Nobody on the PC side cares about any anniversary or anything else. Nobody cares. It's way after the console launch. Makes no difference if you release it today or in a year. Nobody cares at this point and would be more than happy with "we'll get it to you when it's done" even if that took another 2 years.

Just ship it right  :dizzy

Edit: H1 still has issues, yes? OK then fix those first. H2 has issues. Why the fuck ship it today? It's a digital game anyway. It makes no sense. It's not like "oh shit we gotta ship a million discs to the stores, oh well. Too late we'll patch it later".

What is the rush?

Nobody wanted Reach out of the gate. Folks wanted 2-3 out of the gate. 343 fucked up. Put that up because they figured the PC community wanted that. SURRPISE! They wanted the continuation of Halo 2: Vista before Reach, which is... 3.

So now they're getting these out the door as fast as possible to try to get to the shit people bought the collection for. :doge

We'll see if they slow their roll with 3 and actually fix shit. But at this point, I doubt it. I doubt it'll revive the community and the game will die on a vine because they blew their first impression and have fucked up repeatedly in the run-up to that.

Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer is just Halo 4 with Halo 2 window dressing.

It's ok but not what I wanted from 2. However, "2 Classic" is apparently busted (haven't tried MM with just it alone) to know. Apparently the hit-register in H2C is busted. I'll have to see, but Big Team Battle is working in H2A. Just... the maps suck for the objective modes. :doge

I can't play any Halo games right now because I need to keep my appetite sharp for Halo Infinite, which will be faithful to the originals but also revitalize the series, and also cure my depression.

Yeah, H2Classic is fucked. The hit regristration is all over the goddamn place.

And H2Anniversary puts me in a shitty forge map that plays horrible for CTF constantly to where my team is basically stuck in base because battle-rifle starts means the other team is able to set up a line and ping us even if we push forward.

Goddamn shame, I was looking forward to Halo 2 the most.

I'm enjoying H2 Anniversary's campaign despite the FPS fuck ups here and there.

MS trying to pump everything out before Infinite launches while the list of bugs for each MCC game alone continue to mount, we all know how that's going to pan out. Congrats on fixing stuff long after the community has died off thanks to release fuck ups.

Here was I thinking last year they would get it right the second time, with long-awaited fixes to the fucking Gearbox early build/substandard port of all things. Halo CE Classic kinda looks shit cause it's outright missing bump maps ffs.

Guess I wasn't insane when I thought Halo Combat Evolved didn't look as bad as it did in this collection. Apperently they used the broken pc port for it. Good job!

The fact that their latest patch broke the 60fps on both of the Anniversary titles on the Xbox One X version is just the cherry on top.

Supposedly they "fixed" that, but I dunno. Given they haven't fixed audio issues, broken achievements (some not in sync, aka: only on Steam or the X-box app), the bullet register being broken in CE past 60FPS (hello Pistol spread), 2 (hello not hitting where you're aiming), the lag, no server browser (CE and 2:Vista had this, shit 3/Online/El Dewrito did as well!)... I wouldn't be surprised they haven't.

Which reminds me. I can't make binds multiple of the same key. I get why in some sense (some PC players may not want that, I don't generally) but stuff like picking up a gun and now with 2/3 having Dual-Wielding, you have an entirely separate key for dual-wielding and it's like "why? Why can't I just have it be a long-press or something a la the X-box controller?"

[Probably because Keyboard is digital, but jesus: High-jacking is E, interacting with something like the EMP in H2A is F... it's a mess]

Halo 4 has a ton of bullshit that makes it not play like Halo at all. Halo 2 Anniversary is definitely not the same feeling shooter as classic Halo 2, but it's not nearly as floaty or jittery than Halo 4.

Remember, Halo 4 has "class" abilities such as Promethean vision (see enemies thru walls) and jetpacks and shit. And sprint.

The biggest difference between H2C and H2A on console was sticky sim/bullet magnetism being much higher on Anniversary.
OH!

I dunno about the magnetism currently, but it just feels more "solid" than Classic does on PC right now. PC Classic feels "laggy" and not as "playable" as Anniversary.

The only power-up I've seen is the Sprint. I dunno if the Vision and Jetpacks are in Anniversary. But I really don't like the Gungoose. I don't get why they needed to add some of Halo 4's stuff to Halo 2 maps/playing.

H2A to my knowledge and experience just has the gungoose and silenced SMG. I've played tons of Halo multiplayer across the board, H2A is the best feeling. Halo 5 has way too many mobility options combined with abysmal maps.

Well I played quite a lot of reach today, got kinda motion sick and threw up.

7/10 health pack system is annoying still. Will try finish it tomorrow.

On the stealth/sniper mission atm. Will play some some multiplayer too.

H2A not having bumper jumper controller layout is so annoying.

That’s why I think I prefer Halo 3 just for the dumb jumpy fuckery you can do.

Luckily playing on an elite pad so just made a back button for jump so it’s not so bad

I really enjoy Big Team, despite some of the bullshit with it. Objective modes just aren't the same with a smaller number of players.

Yeah I know about the controller, I’m just so used to it now not having it is jarring for me.

I was struggling with two people 8 players I’d have no chance,
I will be up for some big team sometime though when I can actually play and I’m not a bot.

I guess my love for halo is pretty much MLG, doubles or swat or TS, big team was always a just chill thing with buddies who didn’t play that often and usually sucked. Damn maybe we should have played that last night haha

I play SWAT now and then, but I'm really rusty at it. It was about the only thing I played in Halo 2 back in the original X-box Live era. Even up until Bungie and MS shut down the servers. :lol I haven't grokked how to play it with mouse-keyboard on the PC version since it seems like it's "spawn, get shot, spawn, get shot, spawn, get shot" without actually moving/doing anything. :doge Then again, that was Reach and Reach's spawn system was pretty ass. I guess I should try 2's... when they fix the lag/register.

I don't give a shit about the MLG-try-hard 4v4 comp mode. It's not what the series is best at (IMO), though there is/was an eSport scene for Halo back in the day so some folks might be into that. But I prefer having larger teams (to support/ping folks for others to kill. :doge ) while having an objective to focus on.

CE's BTB was busted, so I dunno how that plays (so I played a lot of 4v4 hence that dominating Chill Out round) but I played 2 and 3 BTB nearly exclusively. :doge I guess I need to up my game and play some Hardcore/no radar to play the mode you want to play.

Well we can mix it up although I love being a try hard sweat lord, we can also play BTB I just really can’t wait for a Halo 3 on PC as I was good at H2 but very good at Halo 3. Shame that esport didn’t take off really I went to a few of the comps and did fairly well in them, what made me laugh was Halo 4 trying to play the customs with some pro players the modes sucked so no wonder it dropped off.

Halo to me is all about call outs and winning your ones when you’re in that situation. Deffo up for more games though.

A mere 13 years on from its initial release, Halo 2 has been re-released on PC as part of The Master Chief Collection - an ongoing enterprise that has attracted as much criticism as praise. So how does this port from the Xbox One conversion of Saber Interactive's Xbox 360 original fare? What extras does it bring to the table, how well does it run - and does it manage to avoid the problems and issues of some of the other games in the PC collection?

Video-game developers in 2000: "Let's retool our third person game, which was originally an RTS into an FPS in less than a year so it can launch with a new console no one has ever worked with before. Maybe we can add in some multiplayer during our spare time."

Video-game developers in 2020: "Sorry, dual wielding enemies are too hard to code but we did manage to cut your FPS in half on an entirely different platform"

Fixed the broken achievements in Reach with this method, so I've been going through getting the auxiliary/Easter Egg achievements.

One level wants you to beat the level on Legendary with the tank totally intact (:doge ) but to do that you need to hit two specific switches in co-op. Which PC doesn't have local co-op for. #RIP :(

I guess I could bother Ghoul to do that, but just for one level on Legendary? :doge

Halo 3 has always felt like a garbage mud monster when it came to multiplayer. Fantastic campaign, abysmal multiplayer. People loved it, but there's a reason why CoD4 was so popular.  :lol

I liked both. But Halo 3's atrocious netcode (AR run up->melee wack! TRADE KILLS!) was the biggest reason I dropped it for CoD4, beyond liking CoD4's maps, P90/modern weapons. CoD4's biggest stumbling block is the infamous 2xFrags (or Flash), 2xRPG (or was this a Perk1?), Stopping Power, Martyrdom and Bombing Runs/Airstrike.

Made playing the maps spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn, die. Which Halo didn't have (until these PC ports it seems. :/).

I still vastly enjoyed CoD4 enough to buy it on PCS360 and the remake on Steam despite that being dead because LOL NO SERVERS LOL. So I can't complain. :yeshrug

Halo 3 was a great game when it released. Very few games managed to handle large scale battles as well as that game did. Especially in the campaign.
On PC it seems the FOV is expanded to 120, which makes for a big improvement.

I'm not seeing the appeal of playing these old games in multiplayer though.

It’s gonna be 2025 before they fix Halo 3. I wish 343i would just take their time with this shit, having a flight and it out in a couple of weeks after with them bullshitting saying “it’s fixed this time guys honest” just further damages the games, Lord only knows what H5 is going to launch like. I wish we got a remaster of H3 instead of this trash.

Deffo will be playing the hell out of it when it works though as Halo 3 was my shit back in the day

Halo 3 is supposedly launching on the 14th of this month/July. We'll see how "bug-free" it is on launch.

I still need to get that Easter Egg in co-op on Reach so I can finish Reach's camapign. :lol :lol :lol :lol :-\ :'(

I'm nearly done with Halo 2's campaign, but man: Playing the campaigns now a days is a chore IMO. The star of the series and the most popular way of playing it is the multiplayer.

Disagree completely, single player FPS campaigns like Halo's don't exist anymore. You can play dozens of multiplayer shooters that scratch that itch.

I played thru Halo 1 thru Reach on legendary this year. Halo 2 was the campaign has been the weakest. Halo 1, 3, and Reach were excellent experiences.

Sandbox puzzle combat is something Bungie got right. 343 can make ok multiplayer maps and design decisions, but single player from 343?  :lol
OH!

Who cares about 343's bullshit? I'm talking strictly Bungie and the multiplayer is the star of those.

Yup.  Never cared about the campaign stuff- always went for multiplayer.  Halo 3 campaign with 4P was fun for a few playthroughs though.

Finished Halo 2's campaign and Easter Eggs/skulls. Now I just have to mop up a few situational ones (Complete Metropolis on foot on Heroic/Legendary, "Needs More Whammy Bar") and then I can probably dump the Campaign's installation/file-size out the airlock and keep just the multiplayer.

I dunno if I want to do the campaign L.egendary A.ll S.kulls O.n (LASO) Apparently the skulls count for the "Beat the campaign on Legendary" achievement, but you lose shields, you have to melee enemies to regain them, you have the Scarab gun which can backfire in close-combat situations... etc. Just seems like a really annoying complication, but probably easier than doing it on Combat Evolved (since there's no Scarab Gun there?)

I still need to do that Reach easter egg, so I should probably bother Ghoul. :doge

I have absolutely no faith in 343, and yet somehow I think there's a chance they have made decent multiplayer given that it is at this moment the most expensive videogame ever produced.

Is Halo Infinite going to be the next Fortnite or the next Rise of the Skywalker?
