August 27, 20187 yr Yes, that MCC. The one they released in 2014. They just released a massive patch (~73GB) today that supposedly fixes all the major issues, plus they added 4K HDR.

August 28, 20187 yr Downloaded the update last night. Played Halo 2 for awhile and it looks fantastic in 4K. What a nice little bonus.
August 28, 20187 yr Downloaded it on my new One X last night, but didn't play. I was halfway through the Halo 2 campaign, tonight seems like a great time to pick it back up!
September 16, 20187 yr I just found this thread and started missing Halo 3. I remember the ad campaign for the game was out of this world. Lt. Niraj Shah spitting truth. "Chief told me once that no soldier should be honored for doing what is expected." ("Do you believe that?") "I did. And I still do." Master Chief doing what he does best. This ad was done so well - made me shiver at the thought of humanity's survival. The complete ad campaign for Halo 3 with all the "Believe" commercials.
September 16, 20187 yr They completely blew the momentum from all that by the time 4 came around. It was crazy how much they had set up the franchise to branch into other media with those shorts and commercials, ODST, and everything else. I was certain that a high quality series or a movie was going to come out, then they seemingly blew it all up and abandoned it. I felt like it was the best sci-fi universe to be created since Star Wars when the series got to 3, then poof. No idea what happened.
September 19, 20187 yr On sale this week for $22.50. You can't get much more game for that price. And I can confirm that the Xbox One X enhanced is gorgeous. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/save-big-on-xbox-one-exclusives-in-this-weeks-digi/1100-6461837/

September 19, 20187 yr I never did finish all the achievements for this game, 5 left. Guess I should try to wrap that up now that there are other people who want to play it.
September 19, 20187 yr Author Damn, you only have 5 left? That's insane! I've started making my way through them again and I have 245 left.
September 20, 20187 yr Yeah, but the one that's nearly impossible without dumping a hundred hours into the game is the Halo 2 speed run on legendary. Beating the entire thing in under 3 hours is no joke. I did some of it, following guides and stuff, but the difficulty was extreme. That final fight was ridiculous if you don't glitch through a bunch of it and get multiple Johnsons to spawn. Never could get that down well enough to get through it. Oh and Gravemind in less than 30-40 minutes makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
September 20, 20187 yr Honestly, some of the most fun is the Halo 3 and 4 legendary speed runs, because you need no planning, just find 3 friends, and go through it like you would any game. It's super fun if you have a good group and a couple hours. It's a great way to do the old campaigns and enjoy the game without the anxiety you get from 1 and 2. I'd be down for some of that sometime, it's a lot of fun.
December 31, 20186 yr Played some PvP this weekend and was really impressed with how much it’s improved. Lot of fun to play, but frustrating because I don’t remember where a lot of the weapon spawns are.
March 12, 20196 yr Author Just announced that the MCC is coming to the PC and will be on Steam! And Halo: Reach is coming to the MCC! Edited March 12, 20196 yr by hornfan785
August 12, 20214 yr I've been having fun with playing halo 3 lately just on the social modes or whatever. Kind of lame you get sweaty kids on M&K but it can still be pretty fun. If anyone wants to play any of the releases whether it's co op or multi-player or what shoot me a dm.
August 20, 20214 yr I’ve been playing recently too. Halo 3 mostly. GT is jofus. Excited for infinite to come out, but I hope they make some gunplay tweaks. The recent multiplayer test flight was fun, but I hated the sniper and the NPC dialog was cringey and distracting.
November 1, 20214 yr This is kind of my jam right now. Halo 3. Pm me if any of y'all wanna play. I only play controller though.
