Master Chief Collection Details

[BeckoningZebra1]

The Master Chief Collection was officially announced at E3 during Microsoft's Press Conference, here are the details:

 

 

The Master Chief Collection will include Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. The game will be accessed by a master queue that will have all the levels from every campaign unlocked from the very start. There will be specific playlists for playing different levels in a variety of different ways. 

 

The Master Chief Collection's multiplayer will run at 1080p, 60 FPS, on dedicated servers. Every map from Halo CE to Halo 4 will be included. That's over 100 multiplayer maps! Along with 4,000 Gamerscore.

This includes the ability to switch between the original and updated graphics in Halo CE and Halo 2 and will also be the very first time to play Halo CE Online Multiplayer. (On your Xbox Console)

 

It is also important to note that Halo CE and Halo 2 multiplayer will be the EXACT same as when it first shipped. 

 

The Master Chief Collection will also ship with Halo Nightfall and Halo 5: Guardians beta access. The beta will run from December 27, 2014 - January 22, 2015. 

 

_{Thanks UNSC Spartan-II for pointing out that I had originally forgotten to add in the dates!}

Can't wait!

Butterflies are intensely flying in my stomach. I'll finally be able to play cooperatively in Halo 2 Campaign with my Xbox Buddy. This is a great way for newcomers to relive the older days of the series and reintroduce the story to them, while at the same time giving us old timers the chance to experience old multiplayer once again. But...

 

 

...Halo 5 Beta. nuff' said. Go do your thing 343i. I got your back. 

[Guts]

Every Halo players dream.

[Fahzgoolin]

BXR's, Double Shots, and Super Jumps.

 

My life will be complete, once more.

 

1000 hours at least of gameplay for me...I hope the Halo 2 ranking system is the same as well!!

[Mr Biggles]

Sounds goooood.

This may revive halo a lot better than Halo 4 did

[WonderWombat]

The absence of sound doesn't do any justice to that gif.

[Caboose The Ace]

This is a steal !

 

Finally Halo CE muilplayer on Xbox one ! Halo 2a Halo 3 and Halo 4

 

 

I think this is a really good move by MS also including the beta and tv series.

 

 

In a complete package ! I tip my hat to you MS well played.

Hoping to see a console bundle announced with this!

[Gemini Dragons]

Ohh yea things are really getting good.

I am too, because if there isn't I'm going to wait until the Halo 5 bundle.

I don't know if it's been clarified here yet, so I'll go ahead and post this.

 

Halo 3, and 4 will have their Forges completely intact. On the other hand Halo CE, and Halo 2: Anniversary WILL NOT have Forge.

 

BUT There will be a separate modified version of the Halo 2 Engine that the Re-imagined 6 (I think that's how many) Halo 2 Multiplayer Maps will be able to be Forged upon.

 

So all together we get to Forge on Halo 4, 3, and 6 Maps from Halo 2 (That's better then nothing I'd say).

 

P.S. Now Dan Ayoub (Yet again I hope that's his name) when asked, alluded that we may be seeing Forge Models from Halo 2, and CE in some of the Forge modes, and assured that more info would be released later. Let's hope this is true. Kicking major butt in a Halo 2 Warthog in Halo 3 would complete me.

Think about playing Halo 2 on Halo 4 maps and dual wielding as a forge option. god that would be awesome.

[Blue and White Puff Reach]

GIMEMME NOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

too bad. that's not really an option. if we play a halo 4 map we lock in the halo 4 engine. 

 

 

but halo 4 maps are way too big for sprint-less arena style gameplay anyway in my opinion.

A spartan IV fighting a spartan 3 from halo 3, to just once and for all decide which is the better one.

 

Also I wonder if my stats carry over from Halo 4, I mean it would just feel like a drag to not be able to play with my own armor setup and such.

[Rue]

This is so freaking exciting!!!

[Connor Kenway]

Halo CE and Halo 2 PC exclusive maps on console! heck yeah! I'm in those maps are the greatest so much better than other maps

Spartan II. Spartan-III is Reach.

 

I don't actually care about stats or armor being carried over. This is more of a celebration of the past years more than anything, and I honestly don't care if the stats are all new just for the MCC (Expected, since there's a new universal ranking system), and all the armor is simply unlocked/campaign based.

Where did you hear about the universal ranking system? I haven't seen anything about that.
