I would be so happy if they completely fixed, improved and updated Halo MCC, redo Halo CEA, maybe even add Reach and give Halo 3 a touch up. That would get a lot of good will and trust back. These aren't just disk games you can't patch, the technology is there to update but do Microsoft care about their biggest IP legacy. Hopefully.

I'd like to imagine a MCC update will hit with Scorpio to fix some stuff.

Now I dunno if they'll do that, but I think if Halo 6 isn't there on Day 1, something Halo related will be, cuz...yeah, it's Halo.

 

[Poster#1]

Halo 5 was already missing enough content on launch and it had 3 years of dev time. There was absolutely no chance that they would put H6 on a 2 year dev time, just because of the Scorpio. They should take their time and maybe we will get a feature complete game for once.

Absolutely agree.

 

[Novocaine]

I'd be okay with that Megabloks game coming back. It looks like they had a fair bit done.

 

[Arnie]

Good, the franchise needs a break before a full re-emergence.

 

[Akai__]

Now I dunno if they'll do that, but I think if Halo 6 isn't there on Day 1, something Halo related will be, cuz...yeah, it's Halo.

Well yeah, they said "a little something", which means there won't be anything ground breaking.

By the way. The only time that Halo launched with new Xbox hardware was back in 2001 with the OG Xbox. It wasn't ready for the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One launch.

Good, the franchise needs a break before a full re-emergence.

This is not about a break. It's just about a pointless H6 CGI trailer not being at this years E3. There will still be something else Halo related, though.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

A halo 3 re master with complete multiplayer set would be fantastic. I know we have the MCC but that burnt out almost immediately due to its buggy release

I would be stoked to have the classic multiplayer back and populated

I kind of worry this will be some kind of halo 3 Dlc for halo 5 - that would be a shame

 

[RoKKeR]

I thought this was only going to be HW2 DLC?

A Halo 3 content drop for Halo 5 would sweet.

A relaunch of MCC for Scorpio and PC would also be interesting.

 

[JPS Kai]

I'm sure it'll make Windows 10 owners happy

 

[DriftingSpirit]

It is.

The mainline series needs a break from hardcore exposure. Even a CG trailer would be dissected to death, broken down for gameplay queues and just fan the flames of discussion for consumers.

Halo's centre piece doesn't need this at the moment. 5 is performing well online and serves a purpose for the fan base. Let everyone else forget about the franchise for a while whilst 343 works on something that may capture attention, rather than offer yet another Master Chief saga that fails to live up to mass appreciation like the original trilogy.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

They should fix MCC properly so it's perfect. Update it for Scorpio. Then give it away free to everyone who buys or owns an XB1.

But probably they will just announce a Scorpio patch for Halo 5.

I thought you would mean a break, as in no Halo game release for a while.

The quality of the Scorpio patch for H5 will probably decide whether or not I purchase Scorpio. If they show off a seriously sexy looking H5 at E3 then I'll most likely get Scorpio, assuming the price isn't ridiculous.

Why didn't I even think of this?

The "little something" could be a Scorpio-specific patch for Halo 5

 

[NippleViking]

I'm expecting we'll get a teaser without number and subtitle, like the 2013 Poncho Chief.

Why didn't I even think of this?

Would not be shocked if it's this. 4k/60FPS, with split-screen patched in.

I'm pretty sure this patch is a given regardless. I'd be disappointed if this was the announcement.

 

[_Aaron_]

343 takes Oni from Bungie and reboot it.

Do it.

Pretty sure Bungie doesn't even own Oni. I believe that Take-Two Interactive has the rights to Oni and Myth.

 

[yurinka]

Of course they will announce Halo 6 at E3.

Other than the yearly Forza it's the only big selling 1st party game Microsoft can announce at the Scorpio reveal and 343 should have been working on it since a few years ago.

It would be dumb to announce a console without showcasing a few exclusive games taking advantage of its horsepower.

4k60 is pretty much guaranteed but doubt the splitscreen would be added. Would love to see it happen because a good few people I know skipped Halo 5 due to the lack of splitscreen coop.

How would a 30 second cgi trailer that will have nothing to do with the final product showcase scorpio ? because that's all you would get

Crackdown and Forza will be the games to showcase Scorpio graphics

 

[Outrun]

I would like to see poncho Chief make an appearance.

 

[nekkid]

I'd love an MCC update for Scorpio.

Halo 4 at 4k60 would be glorious.

Well the "announcement" trailer that included Poncho Chief never explicitly said that was a scene from Halo 5...

 

[op_ivy]

I'm hoping that most of the big 1st party games at least get 4k patches.

The only thing with MCC is you can't believe they would give it a Scorpio patch without addressing the more severe issues with it.

If Scorpio can lock the game's anisotropic filtering to 16x, get rid of that awful 30fps LOD animations, reduce texture pop in, and even provide split screen....

Yeah I'll buy it.

True.

But I like Poncho Chief.

To clarify, I meant we might see him in 6 or 7.

and the single player dlc with at least one new blur cinematic plus a few new maps for mp. At least that is what I think it will be.

It really is silly how large Microsoft first party games are. I think my Gears of War 4 is over 90GBs at this point. Halo 5 and even MCC are just out of control.

Can't handle the content eyyy? Game is well supported and that's a great thing.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Is this true?

Yeah you can download it now and check, the files are still there.

 

[Bsigg12]

Both games have a ton of content for multiplayer. Halo also has all the Forge assests.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

No Halo 6 teaser as the closer? I'll believe it when I don't see it.

Crackdown innit

I doubt we'd get splitscreen (sadly) because that is likely a ton of work.

Everything else though I could definitely see + high res textures.

I just got one of those "dang im in the future moments" from reading "Halo 6".

I remember when Halo 3 came out it was supposed to be the end of the series, and little 11 year old me fell for those crappy fake"Halo 4 leaked image" Youtube videos in 2008. Never would have believed that Halo 6 would be happening if you told me in 2007/2008/2009.

It's going to feel weirder when we finally hit Halo 10. They'd have to dump numbering them at some point.

 

[Diprosalic]

can't be fixing MCC since that wouldn't be "a little something".

Yes I had to uninstall Gears of War 4 actually from my PC lately. It was 124GB and got another patch of 10GB sorry but no, and I love the game. I would never imagine that I would uninstall a game not because I dislike it but because it takes 20% of my hard drive on its own....

They actually said that they might drop numbers after 5.

I play it exclusively for the old campaigns, which have few issues

So do I. But that's not the point.

Saying on stage: "here's a Scorpio upgrade for MCC. btw we didn't fix the MP, still" with a straight face would be a real kick in the teeth.

Plus it's not like the campaigns are spotless. The pause audio issue in 4 marrs an otherwise great campaign.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I don't think there would be nearly this much "interest" in that Halo mega blocks game were it not for the fact it was canceled.

And Halo MCC gave me precisely what I wanted from the jump. All the campaigns. I don't play Halo MP.

My point is I expect all big 1st party games to get patched for 4k, even if mcc has a black eye from the hardcore communities. No I don't expect this to be the "little something" at e3 or to get a specific brag at e3, aside from here's a list of titles that will be 4k now.
