Fair warning for tomorrow's coverage, though I can't imagine it will head off the "IGN sucks" posts much anyway:

Tomorrow's feature isn't for you guys. It's called "Halo: The Master Chief Collection's 8 Maps You've Probably Never Played" and it's a look at the six Halo PC and two Halo 2 Vista maps included in MCC that the less-hardcore-than-you-guys Halo fans have likely never seen.

Deep dive on Coag Anniversary (i.e. Bloodline) with Max Hoberman on Friday, then Halo 3 and 4 footage (my god...Halo 4 at 1080p/60fps impressed the hell out of me) next week, among other things.

I consider myself a huge Halo fan but never touched any of the PC Halo games. Other then the map names I have heard thrown around GAF over the years I know absolutely nothing about the 8 PC maps included in the MCC. Looking forward to tomorrow's news.

Same here. I ignored the PC version completely.

Did anyone answer the proximity chat question for halo 2, nothing was better than hearing the panic in a teams voice as a sword swooped in

Taking a jab at destiny through the OT is tasteless IMO. I didn't think the Forza Horizon one was too bad but taking a jab at bungie and there latest game seems like a low blow. The Forza one seemed like harmless fun.

Please stinkles, is there anyway that you could find out? After 10 years of halo horrors on-line, the chance of some halo on dedicated servers in my region is mouthwatering.

I'm asking but it's a platform thing, not an engine thing.

Can't their placement be improved upon? There are literally 6 or more medals on-screen in some screenshots. Did that not raise an alarm at the studio and cause someone to question their implementation? I would love to play with the new medals but if they're going to obstruct the left portion of the screen then I won't be able to. Is it really not possible to prioritize which medals get displayed and test for feedback and bugs?

I say all that because your response reads, to me, like "take it and like it or turn it off altogether". As opposed to something along the lines of "we can look into it".

Are you seriously asking me to change something for YOU specifically? Originals are there for fans of the original, off is there for folks who want less clutter, new is there for folks who like to be spammed with how great they are doing. Your feeling is absolutely valid, but it's subjective and we can't adjust for that.

Personally speaking, I hardly notice either.

I'm literally shaking my head.

My response is I'M ABOUT TO USE THE IGNORE FEATURE GET IT TOGETHER BLUEBLUR.

Dude!

I consider myself a hard-core Halo fan and I'm down for this coverage. I can dig it :p

Can't wait for next week.

Keep up the hard-work, coverage is awesome so far.

Yeah, but what if I don't like it, AND I don't want to turn it off? Huh? Now what, Mr. Smarty Pants?

I would not be the least bit surprised if you actually fielded this complaint.

Edit: Holy shit, it's already happening . . .

Not a Halo fan much but at that price and seeing the work that has gone into it, it's got to be one of the best value releases in a long time, closest I think is The Orange Box

If not probably because they don't own the right any more.



I'm pushing my boss really hard to have my writing payment arrive earlier so I can afford an X1 and I'm installing Halo 2 PC as we speak.

I'm pretty sure they've said that BB's song still plays if you're in the original engine while playing in that section. Otherwise, Misha Mansoor's song plays.

I think.

Thank you guys. If Misha Mansoor is there to replace then I must say I'm equally excited.

Misha's awesome!

If I'm not mistaken however, there's a mini easter egg in one of the clips. Our competitive fans should enjoy it. :)

I, for one, like IGN, and have been immensely enjoying the IGN First content you all have been putting out. Great work :)

As long as people learn that Timberlands is a map, I'll be happy for tomorrow.

This is a great idea, I'm not all that familiar with these maps so I'm looking forward to the coverage.

And next week Halo 3 (and 4) yessssssss.

me too, i really like the MCC First from IGN, also liked their Destiny First
i havent really followed IGN so far but since Destiny and MCC i check them out each day once or twice to see if some new exclusive infos are released
so from my perspective its quite successfull ;)

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Hollyshit at those small attention to detail and extra little neat features in the interface and achievement system. This thing has so much replay value, I can't even....
