Halo MCC - Halo 4 - 17th November

Spacedeck · 17 Jul 2020 at 10:20

I reinstalled Halo Combat Evolved and Halo Custom Edition. Interesting to see people still playing. Between them when I looked, there was a good 500-600 players online. Most was in Custom Edition though.

Regarding the release of Halo 3, does anyone fancy running through 3 missions to unlock the "Three's Company" nameplate?

Bit of a shame the cutscenes aren't as good as Halo 2. They were great quality in Halo 2. I love how you can rip off the turrets and walk with them.

Halo 3 ODST is next up, on 22nd September, exactly 11 years to the day since it came out on Xbox 360.

It's just started the flight / testing from what I can gather so it'll probably not be ready til December. It is their aim to get the collection complete by the end of the year.

Halo 4 is coming 17th November.

Awesome, good timing.

Was getting bored of Destiny 2 and don't think I'll buy Beyond Light.

It's got mixed reviews on Steam, downloading it now and will give it a go, I'll be honest, I stopped after 3 so I'm interested to see what went down in 4.

Took a hiatus on this but thoroughly enjoying Halo 2

Seen that this is 50% of on Steam, so wondering if it is worth it ?? Never played Halo before but heard it suppose to be good ? Also, wont be playing any multiplayer so wondering if the single player part of it is enough to get ones money worth ?

It’s brilliant fun and an excellent update. I hadn’t played a halo game since the 2nd and absolutely loved 3, ODST and Reach. Many hours of play. I prefer these to many ‘next gen’ titles.

Apparently it's in the notes of the latest patch that the update will corrupt Reach save games. Not that I had time to realise this and stop the update when STeam started downloading it automatically. Have given up on Reach due to this and started Halo CE now.

I Think there all on MS Gamepass if you have that

Slowly working my way through the campaigns since buying them on xmas sale. Completed reach, H1 & H2. Almost Finished 3. Having only played the original trilogy back when they came out and not since, so it's a mix of nostalgia and I don't remember any of this

.

Reach was fun. CE was far too long and samey. I found, the levels war far too repetitive. It had its moments though. H2 was great though, the remaster was very good once I got past the super laggy parts.

Just finished Halo 3, think I preferred 2 by a smidgin. As a collection of games go, this one is pretty awesome

.

Bring on Mass Effect.

doodah · 5 May 2021 at 15:01

Just finished 4 and thus the whole collection. 76 hours across all games. As a package, that was pretty damn amazing. I think 2 or 3 was my highlight, really didn't take to ODST at first but much better once I got into it.

Halo 4 certainly felt and looked different with a change of hands but also enjoyed that. Such a shame about no Halo 5 though.

Smokey26 · 10 May 2021 at 22:19

I too finished Halo 4, the other day. Only ever played Halo CE and Halo 2 on PC years ago. Enjoyed most of them. I found Halo Reach a lot of fun. 4 was quite nice, some of the alien weapons were awesome. Weakest was ODST for me.

Still can't beat the pistol from the first Halo.

Had only done my last play through last year, but spent yesterday doing co-op on Reach. A pot of fun and now we're going do the whole series. Need to whack it up to heroic I think though, as once we clicked - legendary wasn't as tough as I found it in SP.
