Actually you were right. I guess it works.
eh top of the page. Have a .gif

 

[DopeyFish]

So tombstone and disolation are now included ?
I'm so confused

Would appear so

Im just going to assume every map from every platform release will be in because thinking about it is making my head hurt lol

Should be real good for people who want to play halo:ce

 

[Kibbles]

Yeah High Charity is going to be insane.

It's work in progress.

Eek

 

[ZaneZavin]

All shipped and dlc maps are now included, including the two extra h2 maps.

Thank You. I wish I was there because I want to go out for drinks to celebrate.

Haha it changes hourly.

 

[Overdoziz]

Any word on a FoV increase for any of the games?

 

[Twin Tails]

I'm mostly excited for the missions "Gravemind" and "High Charity".

Running through High Charity while the Covenant tears itself apart... the Flood gains ground... Truth and the Gravemind war with impressive voice acting and dialogue.... very nice vistas...

Very melancholy and, especially because those missions had some of the best tracks in the series. Easily the best part of any Halo campaign, in my humble opinion.

Never forget.

yup the vistas in high charity were crazy on the og xbox.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

I can't wait to play Halo 3's The Covenant in 1080p 60fps

 

[MaGlock]

Any chance of a dlc map pack with more halo 2 upgraded maps?

 

[Diablohead]

Was there a reason why two of the Halo 2 MP maps were going to not be included? dev time?

 

[Twilight Gap]

Any chance of a dlc map pack with more halo 2 upgraded maps?

As unlikely as this is, I'm also hoping for something like this. The small number of remastered maps is the only thing that's keeping my hype from killing me.

Or Reach maps. Swordball Oddbase. Just a thought.

Superior Sword Base is back in CE. Then again, maybe it would actually play better with faster mechanics like CE's. Many of the maps in H3-Reach would have been great maps if they were in earlier games.

[Human_me]

Well looks like I'm buying an Xbox one this November.


It would be cool if they ported over ODST as DLC.

I would definitely buy that!

 

[The Librarian]

Excellent writeup, Zoba!

 

[BeforeU]

Today I traded Halo Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4 towards this. Got around 23$ credit in total. Kinda sucks but wth

Boarding action and prisoner >
8v8 on wizard omg

 

[Caayn]

Very nice openings post!

But why are the shots of H2(A) under the Halo CE section?

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Nope , all mp runs in its original engine and h2a has an additional xbone native mode with six map remakes.

Will Halo CE:A kinect stuff work ?
Tombstone and Desolation never coming ever super impossible?
Collectors edition?
Any more info on this new engine xbox one engine? chance of DLC?

Yeah it would be awesome with a map pack or two. Get at least 12 maps redone and I'll play it till halo 5 no problem

 

[RyudBoy]

I'm a little sad that we're not getting a remastered version of Halo 3 since that's my favorite game in the series, but really, I shouldn't complain with everything we're getting. 60fps though, can't wait to play it.

 

[Schmitty]

Gamespot is going to have the game up in 10 min on their stream

 

[maximrace]

Will all Halo 2 maps have better visuals or only those six?

 

[Loxley]

I have such a weird relationship with MS and Halo. I have a personal preference for Sony's systems overall...but I've always had personal love for Halo specifically. And not even the multiplayer (with the exception of CE on the PC), it's the single-player campaigns I enjoy - especially co-op. Nothing from's Sony's camp has managed to give me the same amount of enjoyment; not Killzone, Resistance, etc.

Basically what I'm saying is this collection will likely be the thing that convinces me to get an X1.

 

[Twin Tails]

worth it in my opinion. all those games+halo2 on 1 disk!!!

 

[Prologue]

There has been a twitter post saying that there will be a way to play competitive multiplayer matchmaking for your specific game. The pictures in the OP say differently though.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I want a beautiful collectors edition with digital download codes, what are my chances?

 

[The Jackdog]

Sorry if this has been answered, i cant find it anywhere.

whats gonna be the deal with splitscreen? Can we still matchmake with guests?

I know i may be in the minority, but i loved splitscreen halo online with a buddy. 2-4 friends being able to go across all multiplayers would be a big thing for me.

Halo 3 is my favorite as well maybe In 2017 well get the full treatment

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I'm really happy with what they're doing. This is how you show fans you're listening. AND no armor abilities in Halo 5 means that glimmer of hope remains that they will abandon Halo 4's every-gametype-is-fiesta randomness mentality. Just need to hear ordinance drops are either removed altogether or completely rethought and reworked and we'll be peachy. (Please 343, nothing compares to just having the weapons spawn on the map. It's part of Halo's dynamic gameplay for map control)

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

The best package ever right next to The Orange Box.

 

[The Librarian]

2017 exists for a reason.

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

time to start saving up for a box

a lot of content in this package.

You are not in the minority. Halo was made for split-screen. Everything that was there from the original will be there with the exception of system link (possibly)

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

I've been wanting online Halo: Combat Evolved (on a console) for a decade now.

So glad. Now all I have to do is try and get my friends and brother to all play at the same time so it can be like how it was before we all moved away from each other.

 

[the anime man]

LOL.

Whoops. Not what I meant. Oh well.

 

[belushy]

343 just posted in a blog post that Tombstone and Desolation WILL be included in the Halo 2 Port (not Anniversary.)

Previously, we’d told you Tombstone and Desolation were not included, but the good news is that those are going to be in the game along with their counterparts, Hang ‘Em High and Derelict. Basically, every single multiplayer map from Halo 1-4 is included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

edit: Nevermind, I see this was already discussed

 

[Ambition]

Really bummed they didn't include Halo Reach. Regardless, I'll probably get an xbone on black Friday for this.

 

[StoOgE]

I know this is a silly request..

But any chance of getting Forward Unto Dawn on disc?

I wouldn't mind having that on disc to watch between 3 and 4 playthroughs.

 

[DopeyFish]

Will all Halo 2 maps have better visuals or only those six?

Only those six. But those 6 also have the old versions available too

 

[BuggyDClown]

Better have my H4 Unicorn armor.

Not trying to be snarky, but it's super cheap.

I've been wondering what to do with my Halo 4 tin and H1A copy, they are only worth a few quid here.

 

[maneil99]

And it's on Netflix

I got a boner.
I'm pretty sure they heard the community and decided to add those two halo 2 maps and exclusive pc maps. Thank you 343 based God's

 

[LiK]

Man, what an amazing OP, subbed.

 

[Defect]

What will lobbies look like? Seems like they are going the Halo 4 Baseball Cards look.

 

[jem0208]

All shipped and dlc maps are now included, including the two extra h2 maps.

Wait, so in the last few hours you guys have added Tombstone and Desolation??


Edit: Well shit. 343, you guys are fucking amazing.

 

[Alchemy]

Wait, I'm seeing a lot of "playable in online co-op". Does that mean there is no local? No local co-op for the entire experience and there is no fucking way I'm touching this game.

 

[Magwik]

Just watch it on Netflix.

 

[The Jackdog]

So even local campaign support???

Ohhhhh budddddy.

This just worried me:

Dan: We're gonna have [online co-op] in particular for 2, 3 and 4. We're gonna have those across the board which is going to be a tremendous amount of fun. Similar for Forge as well. You're gonna be able to Forge on 2, 3 and 4.
Frank O'Connor: (from GAF): Only in the new h2 anniversary mp mode. But yes.

the addition of the 'online' made me thing it was holding back local or something.

Weekends with friends are going to be just looooost to this game.
