    Yeah honestly I think this has also sold it for me too. The thoughts of having all 4 multiplayer set ups in one package is too good to turn down.

    Having access to the halo 5 beta will be great too, fact they're doing a beta at all is a good sign for halo 5.

    Can't wait for this. Big Halo fan, and the thought of all of the multiplayers (+ beta!) for XBox One is making me very excited.

    Bring it on!

    The only reason so far to make me think about the consoles. What a package.

    Its a long video, there's some good stuff in it though, they explain how a lot of things are going to work, also show the changes made to ascension and say that coagulation is going to be another remade map

    Halo 5 multiplayer will have to be pretty epic to drag me away from that :)

    Sold - I'm buying an xbox one for this alone, thought this would only happen at Halo 5 release.

    Will H3 have ranked multi-player?
    Will the game support lan?

    It would be amazing to get all the friends together for a Lan and jump from game to game recreating those epic memory's over the past 12+ years.

    Can you begin using your old skill level from the 360 version, I wonder?

    They didn't mention that so I doubt it, would have been a nice feature though. I think the skill rank will cover the whole multi-player in this than just Halo 2 anyway.

    Not sure I'd be able to live up my old rank anyway!

    Good to see the system in place at all though.

    Yeah it was something which was sorely lacking in 4, even though they tried to implement it on waypoint, having to go look up people's ranks online was a pain.

    Really looking forward to this. As a gamer who can sometimes step away from the console for long periods of time, I eventually fell of the Halo train and did not continue on with the series. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

    Argos are doing an amazing deal right now where you can get the console plus two games for €379.99.

    I really can't see this being beaten.

    Dammit, out of stock everywhere now. Still Halo is the deciding factor for me so I'll be getting an Xbox One this week for certain now.
