Warlock is the final map in Halo: MCC - IGN First

Man, this game is already bought... it just doesn't know it yet.

Fantastic job on bring Warlock (Warlord) back, awesome map in Halo 2. And Coagulation (Bloodlines) looks fantastic as well. Cannot wait to see it in motion.

Really getting excited about MCC. Haven't played a Halo game since Reach, 4 did nothing for me but I might play through it now just for the heck of it.

Question though, has probably been asked several times: Is there still co-op for all titles? Have we heard anything about framerate, loss in detail, and resolutions (I know there has to be some downgrades made). This will be the last push I need to buy an Xbox One :)

Each title has their original co-op with online co-op now possible if it wasn't before. Everything is 60 FPS and 1080p with the possible exception of the Halo 2 Anniversary campaign, as stated here by Frank O'Connor. I'm not sure what kind of downgrades you were expecting, but fear not.

I think he's asking if the res or fps drops when playing split screen.

I thought it was 6 remastered?

It is. Op forgot to put Lockout.

Wow, that is an insane package. Thank you for the write-up, haven't been actively following this game. Gonna have many fun evenings and nights playing co-op!

Only map I think they messed up on was choosing Ascension. Such a random choice.

Would have much rather had another good btb map like Waterworks or Terminal. Both great maps that get no love.

The design decisions 343 are making.

Look at all the jump-ups they added to Warlord. God-awful.

Not to mention, they brought back a HALO CE MAP, instead of taking a chance with something epic like Waterworks or Terminal.

They just really are driving the Halo series into the grave. Feels terrible.

They added jumps to Warlock.


Definitely driving the Halo series into the ground.

Would've loved to see Terminal.

Ohhhhh. In that case, I have no clue.

It's kind of like the assault rifle -- it's widely considered to be an iconic aspect of the series, but it's terrible and should never be heard from again unless it's drastically redesigned.

I would have enjoyed Waterworks more as well, but talk about hyperbolic.

Is it confirmed that H2A's BR is a 4sk? They must be missing some of the spread or something, seeing so much 5sk in the videos.

I love ascension. I didn't know people didn't like it. It had some problems but still on of the stand out Halo 2 maps IMO. Terminal would have been my choice over warlock.

I enjoyed this map during the Halo 2 days. Looks amazing also.

Anybody else think they're going to give us more remakes as DLC?

CE online for the first time 60fps/1080p on dedicated servers. Bringing us back Halo 2 original, everything intact. Halo 3 just the same. Allowing us to play an actual remake of Halo 2, everyone starting fresh with a new engine. For the sixth map they chose a competitive symmetrical map, another great move. Yet you whine?

Go suck off Bungie and enjoy special ammo start, supers on a timer, radar always on and stubbing your foot on poor map design every three seconds.

343 is doing everything right, get over it.
 
Deal!

I have to say, I also used to be a Splinter Cell fan. I get the same feeling as Splinter Cell 1-3, to Double Agent as I do with the Halo series up to where 343 took over.

Just...what happened?

Back to Destiny.

Rofl this is when I knew you were trolling. You cannot be serious.
 
Warlock looks beautiful.

I'm really gonna have to buy an XO, aren't I? I almost want to just wait for a possible PC version, since it'll at least have a server browser.

I was hoping for Ivory Tower. I thought that was one of the fan favorites. Warlock is... ok. Much like wizard. It is okay for some niche modes, but since there are only 6 maps I think they should have chosen a better all around map.

It can play 2 flag, Neutral Bomb, 2-bomb, 3 Plots, Oddball, and KotH really well. I say it's the most well rounded in the series.
 
it was posted in this thread a bit ago, I'll post it again. but no, we haven't seen it in motion.

Dunno how I missed this!

My first impression is kinda disappointed, it doesn't seem all too familiar. Too brown and not enough red, it's called Blood Gulch and Coagulation for a reason y'know!

Looking forward to playing it of course, but I was hoping for some vibrancy, this looks way too muddy.

Complains about design decisions in Halo 4.



Goes back to playing Destiny.
