You are a bit too quick here :rolleyes: the 20gb is extra content NOT a fix. Problem was there wasnt enough space on the BD disk (I think around 45gb) to hold all the approx 100 mp maps and the remastered 4 halo games so they decided to let people download the MP content on day one.

Maybe they should and the previous posters said put it on two disks, so that is the problem not a MS f*** up

See above. MP isn't finished yet

The game isn't actually finished yet.

All that's working 100% is the single player, the coop campaign is kinda working, and the MP is still pretty much off the table

That would seem a bit strange considered they moved the release date forward to a bit over 2 weeks from now?

cloud493 · 29-10-2014 6:05pm

I'm fairly hyped for this now, I must admit.

Can any of the 4 campaigns be played co-op online does anyone know?

All of them can, but that's part of the 20Gb day one patch.

Halo 1 & 2 are two player co-op, including local split screen.

Halo 3 & 4 are four player co-op, including 2 player local split screen.

On my phone on a bus and just short of ordering this and a console, but since I've already got a shortage of time which won't change until January or February I should hold off.

Argos have a killer deal at the moment, went for it last night.

Xbox One, Fifa 15, The Evil Within, and Forza Horizon 2 for 409.99.

Sold the games straight away so came to €295 in the end.

Not sure, i just launched the game and it downloaded it, but I've got unlocked review code. Make sure you're set up for automatic downloads and updates anyway, it'll probably work away in the background.

The good news is it's just 15gb, not 20

Yeah, I did this and turned off my machine and it downloaded in the background.

Yeah I've seen a few uk friends playing it, shopto always delivers to them a day early

Retr0gamer · 10-11-2014 2:05pm

Got to say MS are knocking it out of the park when it comes to exclusives. This game is probably bargain of the year as well. My PS4 is gathering dust at the moment. Sony need to get the finger out next year, bloodborne better be good!

Big time, because The Order is not looking too hot either. So far all MS's exclusives are better than Sony's imo.

RasTa · 10-11-2014 9:24pm

I wouldn't consider this game an exclusive or new ip etc. Nothing really new although Sony heads did get similarly excited about Last of Us.

cloud493 · 10-11-2014 9:26pm

Well it is exclusive, and halo is a big IP, so.

Its a game exclusive to the xbox one its not new though but it is remastered. That is enough for folk to buy it again.

Pretty obvious really, it's not a new or exclusive game.

cloud493 · 10-11-2014 9:58pm

But it is exclusive. The halo series is xbox or microsoft exclusive whatever, and its the first time all 4 games have been available on one platform, in their current form, and the only way remastered halo 2 is accessible.

Its exclusive to this generation of consoles, it does exist on the older consoles but as you pointed out so does the last of us.

Difference would be that unlike the last of us which is relatively new IP, the halo games are much older and some of them look rough.

super_furry · 10-11-2014 10:09pm

It's sitting there on my hard-drive just taunting me know. Won't get to play it until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

RasTa · 10-11-2014 10:13pm

Agreed.

However releasing old games would not lead me to claim they are knocking it out of the park and claiming this as an exclusive game.

I just want some new games for PS or XB as it's that time of the year again and we have a new Assassin's Creed, CoD, Far Cry etc

Plus remakes of GTA 5 and this.

Gaming is getting very boring.

Liamalone · 10-11-2014 10:40pm

Not everybody has played the Halo games before, I have played Halo 3 for about half an hour. So for me, £40 for this is awesome stuff. Sold.

10-11-2014 11:55pm

^^Talk about buzzkill :rolleyes:

Cant wait for tomorrow. This should get blood pumping!!

TrustedApple · 10-11-2014 11:56pm

I think myself as i said before here this maybe the greatest bargain in gaming history yes must gamers would have played every halo already. I have myself expect number 4 so that is going to be a complete new game for me same as the remaster for halo 1 and halo 2 so its basically 3 new games for me to play.

Then we get on to multiplayer 100 + maps to play online every bit of DLC ever for halo multiplayer ?. What more is there to won't ?. Like i wonder what it will cost now to buy all the map packs for halo 3 and 4 ?.

I am picking this up a CD copy from Amazon for €42 euro and i will get some valve out of it as i have been so looking forward to getting back into Halo multiplayer as halo 3 and halo reach multiplayer is fantastic so much better then CoD witch i have nearly played all them and every one i play i go to myself why did i waste money on this ?.

cloud493 · 11-11-2014 12:01am

Well of course if your being reductive, all you see is the big franchises, cos they get the most advertising and attention. Look beyond that, and every platform, and theres far more variety available. Gaming is only boring if you choose to make it that way :rolleyes:

Stone Deaf 4evr · 11-11-2014 12:14am

this collection is going to be played for the duration of the consoles lifespan, In 2 years time I wouldnt be surprised to see it bundled in with every console.

Retr0gamer · 11-11-2014 12:21am

Another big thing people are excited about is being able to play Halo 2 multiplayer again, something that is just not possible anymore.

There you go this.

But many a gamer they could have there fave game ever remade for them and they would still be angry about it and say its useless

i find gamers are getting very judgmental about what there playing as i find must people won't play a game that gets less then say a 7.5. While we would easily watch a film that gets more then a 5 ?. So its quite funny i find how picky gamers have got there up there with WWE fans who are never happy with anything and they have something different in lucha underground and there still not happy with the new edger style

Then maybe gaming is not for you anymore?

I'm getting great fun out of Advanced Warfare on PS4 (after skipping BLOPS2 and Ghosts as I hated BLOPS1 so much) and Sunset Overdrive on the X1 atm.

Have to go back and finish Alien Isolation.

Can't wait for Halo MCC and Assassins Creed Unity and next gen GTAV all pre ordered.

Have to hold off on Dragon Age and FarCry 4 as I have too much good stuff to get through

Great time for gaming imo. Not a great as 2007 with the 360 and all the new IPs coming out at the time but still. (Dead Rising, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Alan Wake, Dead Space) just some of the new IPs from last gen. And that's just consoles.

Some great indie stuff and kick starter stuff on the PC through Steam too.

calex71 · 11-11-2014 10:06am

quick check of the prices, 70 in GS, 60 in smyths, 55 in argos!!!!

maximoose · 11-11-2014 10:33am

Matchmaking seems to be taking an age. Only managed to get into one game so far, assault on zanzibar. Loved it

Ugh. Just saw the status alert on Xbox live. Typical!

Anyone around for coop?

wexdevil · 11-11-2014 11:12am

I haven't had a chance to try multiplayer, just taking ages

so I went into halo 2 and got the scarab gun. Took a few tries because the banshee kept disappearing
