Although Sanctuary is still my favorite Halo map, I'm inclined to agree with you based on that one sentence. Good job, sir.

I've been planning on organizing a tournament this year, and would be down to talk about working together. Shoot me a PM!
It's an Xbone and OG logo and it is hinting at nothing.

While I thought the campaign was good in Halo 4 I think the bolded part above is the biggest flaw. There is so much stuff that seems like essential understanding in Halo 4 that is only explained in other fiction. Reading the Forerunner trilogy of books seems especially important to understand any of the forerunner plot details.
It looks like the trend will continue in H5. At least we will get the Nightfall series in MCC.
Sorry if this has been asked (and answered), but since this has been touted to have 4000 gamerscore, does this mean Halo 3 and Halo 4 will have different achievements attached to them? As they stand, they have 1750 and 2000 respectively, so unless they are discounting the add-ons and DLC achievements, I'm curious how this will be done.
Played some Halo 4 this morning after a long, long hiatus. Can't wait to replay these games, going to be so great!

Yeah it was said in one of the panels that the achievements will be new.
They'd have to, since not everything is present in the same manner. Any achievements tied to Halo 3's ranking or progressions system would be gone. And they should drop the DLC achievements since the pack distinctions would be gone, and it ties them to having certain map/gametype combos in matchmaking.

lol indeed. I'm weary of Coagulation for the same reason, but it seems like they have a few twists to keep it interesting.

The fact that I managed to be Brawl Ganondorf-tier in Halo says something. Shoutout to Team Warwood for actually having a theme song.
I much prefer that, and have since seen an article on Polygon where it's mentioned that achievements are "completely redone". I'm all for that!
As much as I want to see Halo 2: Anniversary, I'll definitely be playing them all in order, with intermittent visits into multiplayer.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
All achievements will be new. I just hope there is nothing crazy in there. Except for 1). Finishing Campaign Solo and 2). With mandatory co-op. These two I can live with. But no crazy multiplayer achievements please.
btw are they going to add matchmaking for Campaign? They had it in Reach. And I miss it ever since. Not all your friends are available when you want.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Has it been said if our custom games in 3 and 4 will be present in MCC?

They will not.
As to multiplayer achievements, I'm fine with a few small ones. Playing X games in each game's multiplayer (for a sufficiently low value of X), that sort of thing.
I swear to frankie if Halo 3 in the MCC has the Two for One cheevo I'm gonna cry
The teams were almost balanced. Almost.
I fucked up baaaaaad with shadow's team.
This is honestly one of the biggest things I can't decide on. I really want to play all the Halos, in order, on Legendary, for the first playthrough... But I also really want to just play Halo 2: Anniversary. I really can't decide on this one.
You will do what I do every time there's a new build. Check out levels of h2a to see the graphics, switch to h2a mp, go look at bits of h3 and h4 to see how much the simple fidelity increase reveals about how pretty those games are, then go play with halogen on whatever og mode is popping.
And you will probably watch episode 1 of nightfall.
Myself and 2 other bros are playing all of them in order. Gonna start with Reach the weekend before launch.
No matchmaking achievements please stinkles

I'm going straight to H3 just to see those beautiful graphics. Checking out all the little details in 1080p like throwing out a bubble shield to examine the ridges, dual weilding spikers and watching those iron needles cool from red hot etc...and then I'll spend like 5,439 hours in classic H2 matchmaking.
I'll be playing Halo Anniversary 2 first all the way and then dick around with the other ones to see how they look.
After that I'd probably work chronologically from 1-4.
Realistically speaking, I don't have enough self control to do that. Although watching Nightfall religiously is pretty much a given. God, it looks so good.
I have a friend who's going to do H2A co-op with me. But he only wants to play normal... Like a lil' bitch. We had to compromise on heroic. So I have no choice but to ALSO do a solo run in order to follow my Legendary tradition.

God damn Frank, stop exciting us more. This is too much, just too much. While reading your post, I actually imagined myself doing all of that and then I realised its still months away. I hate you.

I'll do Legendary with you.
I'm just going to point out that Team Shadow won 2 of its 4 rounds by forfeit. The other teams just didn't want to play Reach anymore.
EDIT: Looking at the thread, I guess it was just our team that did that.

I know it got a lot of hate back in the day but I am pretty excited about the H2 campaign. I had no idea wtf was going on when I was younger but I remember still really enjoying it.
I think H3 will benefit hugely from just the increase in res. It was actually a pretty beautiful game just the human character models looked bad.

Hahaha, I think there's a lot of people in this situation.
I feel the same. The Chief is a hero. The soldiers should be in awe. I'm sure one of the reasons people became Spartan IVs is because of Chief. He played such an important role in the Human-Covenant wars, and sacrificed everything to save the human race. I really didn't like the way Halo 4 handled Chiefs return.

I'm going H2A MP > Halo 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 but I'm not sure if I want to go Heroic or Ledgendary.

I sincerely hope so. The specific map achievements in H3 DLC (and all other games for that matter) were extremely dumb. It's fine to lock away some DLC achievements behind a paywall but don't do it with a map requirement.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing the water effects in HD, the stream running through valhalla used to be full of floating spartans.
right, and also there are some things that are Vidmaster achieves that would be hard to do now anyway. It makes sense each gets fresh 1000G

It seems obvious that there are 1000G per game but it would have been nice to have achievements for the collection as a whole - completing all 4 campaigns (and on legendary) etc, though I guess that may be rendered somewhat useless if you're picking up the 4 Legendary completion achievements from each game anyway.

I don't think they've said that there are 1000g of distinct achievements for each game, have they? Just that it's 4000g total.
There could be. They have 4k gamer score to utilize and they could very easily cut out a bunch of the super shitty achievements and replace them with collection wide ones.
I think there will be challenges and medals/etc, just not achievements for that stuff.
