343 has earned my respect again after the atrocity that is Halo 4.

It's not orange enough, 343 breaking canoe again.

Why in the god damn hell are they remaking Warlock AGAIN?

What a joke.

They said cause it's a good multi-team and objective map.

Sentinel Beam is back, and it's a power weapon now!

YAY!

Gotta agree. 60 FPS just looks weird to me.

Hopefully I get used to it.

IGN just called Master Chief a Spartan IV: "Master Chief may be the second-billed Spartan IV in Halo 5."

Frankie blew that and the original "Locke centerpiece" rumor the fck out here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=133152233&postcount=24

The best map is Chiron. Where is it? : (

I know that map is so entertaining

It looks like they did a great job on it, so I do not want to be rude to the people who put the effort into it, but possibly just laziness? It is a smaller map and was already done before like you said. I would personally like to see Waterworks or Containment or something. One of the larger maps. Halo 2 had the best BTB maps ever.

I really really was hoping for Waterworks.

One of my favorite maps of all time.

>No elongation remake.

The... THE PAIN!

I'm disappointed they chose another map that has already been remade, along with the fact that we only get 2 BTB maps to choose from...

Not even, Zanzibar barely counts as a BTB map, it's optimal with like 5v5.

Are they even going to have a BTB playlist in H2A? A playlist for essentially 1(mediocre) map is pretty pointless.

Yeah, I felt the same when they announced the MCC and all the stuff they were doing for it. They gave us H2 anniversary and more. WAY more.

I'm extremely skeptical. Especially when it comes to Halo 5.

Halo 5 is already confirmed to have classic Arena gameplay, and furthermore the MP lead for Halo 5 is pushing for every playlist to be skill ranked.

Some interesting little tidbits today from IGN:

-We asked and are awaiting confirmation on whether or not Master Chief Collection will support digital pre-ordering/pre-loading. (I assume it will have pre-loading, I for one want to get it digitally and play as early as possible without going to a midnight release)

-Halo 3 and Halo 4 make use of the Xbox One controller's impulse triggers out of the box (we experienced it!), and Halo: CE and Halo 2 will have that functionality added in via a game update shortly after release.

-The Scorpion tank still lives in the Coagulation Anniversary remake, but you have to turn it on in Forge (more on all of that later this month).

-In classic Halo 2 multiplayer, the Ghost's fuel tank could be shot, causing the Ghost to explode. This is one little detail that didn't carry over to the Halo 2-emulating Xbox One engine that runs the six Anniversary maps.

-It took a lot of work to make Halo 2 feel right. In fact, "We had to get Havok to recreate aspects of the original physics code used for Halo 2," 343 told us.

-Halo: CE Anniversary's Kinect features are not supported in MCC.

-Halo: CE's version of Blood Gulch is the original Xbox version, not the Halo PC version that included the Banshee by default.

-For those of you who like to start message board wars over such things, let's get this out of the way: Halo 2's campaign isn't quiiiiiiite 1080p. Due to running the original graphics engine and the Xbox One-ified Anniversary graphics engine simultaneously and the original Halo 2 audio engine and remastered Anniversary audio engine simultaneously, Halo 2's campaign does run at 60fps but, resolution-wise, clocks in at 1328x1080. Here's an explanation from 343 executive producer Dan Ayoub: “During development we were really pleased with the way the engine and buffer allowed us to switch instantly between classic and Anniversary engines that are running simultaneously – however that, as you might expect, put a hit on resolution. The campaign of Halo 2: Anniversary looked fantastic at 720p with the level of detail and clarity it gave us, but like every other aspect of the game and tech, we wanted to push it further.  So in the last weeks of development, our teams were able to meet a stretch goal and the campaign of Halo 2: Anniversary now runs 60 fps at a crisp resolution of 1328x1080, which is a significant and meaningful boost in image quality we think fans are really going to appreciate. All of the other games across the entire package of The Master Chief Collection run 60 fps at 1920x1080 native.”

So there's only 1 big map for BTB ? Kinda disappointing, I feel like 343i just gave everyone besides small team players the finger.

Atleast they made sure the Remastered maps look good.

It's believed they may offer DLC for halo 2 anniversary multiplayer.
