Don't give them any delisting ideas

Lol, guess what's going to be delisted. All in the name of "a better consumer experience"...

As the other comment said, the MCC was a remaster. Most of the changes were cosmetic, to the point where it actually had a button to switch between original and remaster graphics, since it was the original engine running everything. The level design, mechanics, weapons, and such were all untouched.

The new Halo remake is a completely different game made in Unreal 5. Already from what has been shown it is very divergent from the original in many ways. This announcement is an intention to do that for the other games.

No. MCC mostly just ported the games to newer hardware and to PC. They eventually updated the game logic to operate at 60 ticks per second instead of 30 and added some new customization options, and it included from launch the graphical remasters of Halo 1 and 2, but it was really just ports and patches with a unified launcher.

What they're doing now is remaking the Halo 1 campaign from the ground up. New engine, new code, redesigned levels, new levels, etc.

Pretty much. But this new one is being done in a new engine (Unreal) and a lot of it is being done by AI. Two things that weren’t being done before, certainly on the MCC.

MCC was a remaster, this is a remake.

Im not sure it actually changed much except making it play nicer with modern windows.

I completely agree with you, but I can’t help but wonder why they chose UE5 over id Tech as both devs are under the same Microsoft umbrella.

Oh, man. There's so much shit on a daily basis I completely forgot about that. Honestly there's not really a point to buy the Halo campaigns again. 1 and 2 already got remade once and the rest hold up pretty well in my opinion.

what’s the context on ICE memes?

well it has no multiplayer, they dont wanna get us dumdums confused they were delivering a full product

Reach was the last one made by Bungie. 343/halo studios has no idea what they are doing

Yeah i was a massive halo fan growing up, still like the setting and books but I played 5 once and never touched infinite.

Just the other week I was playing reach with my brother that odst and the og trilogy are amazing the rest I couldn't care

I'm with you. To me the biggest innovation (besides console mp) was getting fps controls right for gamepads. I also like that it popularized a limited weapon carry. Health regen is a mixed bag for me, and it definitely got overused in other games of that era.

If I didn't have a PC at the time, I could see myself enjoying Halo more. When I got around to playing CE on xbox, I was underwhelmed. I thought Halo 2 was more fun, but the pop-in was so bad I think I skipped all the cutscenes. Like you said though, the mp was always a blast.

The weird sickening American patriotic feel was intentional and players that paid attention to the story knew they shouldnt cheer for it. Fallout is another series that did this, maybe to a much more obvious degree. I'm curious if you played the original games on or near release. They are definitely dated but they didn't feel worse than any other FPS of its time to me. Some of the old Medal of Honor and CoD games had literally no story at all, just multiple levels of run and gun the enemy.

I want a continuation of Halo: Infinite's story.
