My Xbone still hasn't finished downloading the entire fucking thing, yet I can play Halo CE and Halo 2 right now, even though Halo 2 is 50% done downloading and has another 50% to go. Halo 4 automatically was already 100% done while CE, 2, 3, and Nightfall were downloading.

And what the fuck is Nightfall anyway? I thought it was some kind of Live Action series.

Anyway, so I think the way this game works is it unzips each game engine hence the separate downloads of each game within the main menu. That or it's thrown into a universal engine that's design to simulate the original engines of each game.

So just to give a quick analysis, Halo CEA is far improved from the 360 version. I love it. And it even beats Halo PC in terms of not having the animations capped. Halo 2 classic multiplayer is pretty much a tweaked and improved Halo 2 Vista. I'm not kidding. Both Halos 1 and 2 are ported from the PC versions. But aside from service tags in game and medals, I can pretty much recreate Halo 2 Vista to be just like Halo 2 Classic Multiplayer in the MCC, and I have done it before. However, Halo 2 Vista has hit shit hard on the servers and the lag makes multiplayer now on there unplayable. I have yet to play MCC online since the fucking thing won't let me until it finishes downloading everything.

That's all I got right now. I'm dying to play the MCC version of Halo 3. Seeing that in 60 FPS is going to be a big eye opener.

Halo 4 I have no strong feelings one way or the other with it. Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer is currently downloading as part of Halo 2.

You know, I was upset about the MCC with it's downsides at first such as not being able to mix and match Armor like you did in Halo 3, but now I'm over it. Just the fact that all 4 games have been ported and regutted and retweak to run on this VCR is a major fucking improvement.

And is the Xbone suppose to be this quiet? The PS4 sounded louder when playing a game or in a menu of a game. The Xbone doesn't make one noise, well it's more of a whisper either way. I'd have to really listen with my ear just to hear it.

Now before anyone asks, yes I was against this console for a long time. I still think the name is stupid but at least the system isn't a complete fuck up like it could have been if Microsoft DRM'd it and added a fuck load of restrictions. Oh and the black screen of death is a problem too hence I avoided the console for a long time. I actually had a black screen of death scare when I turned it on for the first time and my monitor couldn't find it. Turns out I had to just set it up on a TV.

The UI of the console is far better than the PS4. Granted it's not perfect, but I strongly prefer it over PS4's UI. As far as games go, I don't even know where to begin. I wish it didn't take so fucking long to install a game. I don't even know if I'll have room for the other 2 that I got for free from the MS store as part of a deal. But hey, Halo is what keeps Xbox alive at the end of the day really.

The Streaming had no lag but the screen was pixelated a little. I think my internet can't handle it.

TL;DR version: I am happy with my Xbone and MCC and I am glad Microsoft didn't decide to buttfuck everyone at the end of day, because I honestly am more of an Xbox person than a PlayStation person when it comes to consoles. I'm just not a bullshit person, and Halo is a bitch to fully tweak to your content on the PC.

I'm not kidding. Both Halos 1 and 2 are ported from the PC versions.

We know.



And good, glad you enjoy what you got.

MCC is just a really big game. Most games install much quicker than it.

Also, get ODST, it's only £5.

Way ahead of you. Got it already. $5 well spent.

And I see. It makes sense.

With the Xbox One having backwards compatibility with 360 games and potentially Xbox original games in the near future, is the MCC even worth getting still?

Actually, yeah. It's a good improvement to the Halo games. As far as backwards compatibility goes, I'll probably play other titles that I had on the 360.

And for Original Xbox games I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Whacked makes it on that list.

Hey it came with the system. I bought the bundle.

So uhhh. What's Nightfall?

Live action mini-series about Jameson Locke before he became a SPARTAN-IV.

Oh.

Why couldn't that just be on Netflix? It came with the MCC and it was part of the huge ass download.

You need the Halo Channel to watch the terminals

Damn.

Now the damn thing works, HC isn't that bad.

Anyway, you had to download Waypoint to get FUD with the Halo 4 LE. I see how this is no different.

If you really care, just get the DVD or something.

Eh. I'm good.
