Use sniper only on the elites, AR on the grunts and jackals. Grenades where necessary and to kill as many possible when they are clustered. fall back to the opening of the area if you need to.

Assault has a pretty low population, but we haven't had many problems. Regular Warzone should be fine unless you are in a really weird region, maybe it's your connection? Hard resetting your Xbone (holding down the power button until it shuts off) seems to help sometimes.
I managed to find some turbo games today, but still nothing under the normal warzone mode at all. I'm in the UK and have a 75mb connection so wouldnt expect issues, I find firefight games very quick. I did read on an xbox site that people were struggling to find games as well, perhaps it's mostly americans playing now.
Right, I'm in the insider program, I've got the new update, I got an email asking for me to fill in a survey etc.
I've not received any other emails about it though. Never received an email telling me I had been accepted into flight 2, haven't received an email about flight 3. I don't know what's going on.

I'm really impressed with the Intelligent Delivery they talked about. I think it's okay to mention it since it has been shared by 343 Industries within the latest MCC Development Update, but that's really impressive to set and use. Hope it will be something we will keep for future games.
Huh, there's a link to the Halo Channel app in the insider build.
Juan the intelligent delivery stuff is pretty cool. They need to make it so you can download just the launcher then select which parts you want though. I still had to delete a game to make room otherwise the download wouldn't start...

Only downloaded Halo 1 for now, Anniversary looks very good in 4K on X :

Im fully willing to put this out there
I hate the art style of H:CE A
The first thing you see is that damn fat crew member and it makes me so angry

It's a terrible remaster but judged on its own merits I think it's actually pretty good.
The environment design is great.
but thematically I feel like they do not represent the source material with more fidelity, its like they reimagined the entire direction of what Bungie made
I guarantee you if something was dimly lit, it is now bursting with color, if something was smooth and featureless, it is now so jam packed full of minute details and designs that its distracting
fake edit: I realized we are basically agreeing as I write this post
(I continue to play)
and why did the lighten sgt Johnson skin so much, and why does he look like Mario?
*Watching the prologue to Halo 4*
gat damn, that was a good vignette
who was interrogating Halsey in that scene? she assumes hes not ONI but I have no idea who he would work for elsewise

signed up ages ago but don't have access to flight in insider hub and no email
edit: nevermind, apparently the real flight 3 is .. soon, sometime

Pretty sure the interrogator is just an ONI goon, Halsey just figures that ONI's goals and methods seem to have changed.
It could be that the interrogator was intended to be someone more important later on. Or the possibility was written in there.
The additional lighting in a lot of the levels makes them so much nicer. Amazing how the Library becomes more engaging to play when it's not just a purple-grey tube with tan monsters popping out of corners.
Also amazing that Bungie realized that people would need arrows to navigate AOTCR/Two Betrayals, but didn't on The Library. So nice to not miss the underground segments and have to backtrack.
The custom installation stuff is great but they should also let you toggle off different languages so you can further save room/data not downloading any additional languages you dont need. Also they should add a toggle that lets you toggle on or off Halo 2 Anniversary MP separate from Halo 2, and a Halo 4 Spartan Ops toggle
The idea of a fully working and populated MCC Halo 3 MP adventures sounds tempting enough to plug in the Xbox again.
Pls get it right.

MP
You can change what games install and the priority of individual games
Right now I am just downloading Halo 3 MP and it's 9GB
Is there any improvement on a non 4k tv for the campaigns with this? or should I just leave the campaigns undownloaded for now?
I couldn't agree more. The remaster's style makes me mad every time I see it. Such a downgrade. What the hell were they thinking, messing with Bungie's vision so drastically? Almost every redesigned thing from the grass color to the doors to the ring itself look worse.
on an X, downsampling for 1080p
on a launch or S, not anything really
*Downloads 70 odd gig insider build*
Something went wrong
To complete your installation, first cancel it. Then try installing again
Ouch

thats one that REALLY gets me, like wtf were they thinking with that, its like they completely missed the boat on the ideas behind all the designs
that said
the Chief looks F A N T A S T I C.
Nice.
I had the chance to play a H2 and H3 level yesterday and I'm very happy about the results. Today I will look up Halo CE/A to see if they have made any Custom Edition improvements and I'm hoping that the jump input lag is also gone.
I'm probably also going to check if the Didact fight is fixed yet or if it still asks you to fire your Machine Gun. lol
This is maybe a silly question but is a public API part of all the MCC stuff? I have just started learning app development and may use it as an excuse to make a halo stats tracking app - if MCC is likely to support a public API
Haven't been around halogaf/ haloera in a while - kind of nice to have something to look forward to in the realm of halo! Also really nice to see so many old names made it across!

halo 5 has an API, MCC doesn't have a real one outside of screen scraping. I think even 343's website only ever lists a raw game history with score and medal count, there's no actual deep stats even recorded
Hey thanks Fyrewulff! (And long time!) - a shame but obviously a lot of people have a lot of feature requests so I assume understandably stats tracking is a little too low on the priority list. I may still try and cut my teeth on the Halo 5 stats API as it may make for a fun project to skill up!
Halo 3 looks fucking amazing on MCC insider. What a incredible game. Nothing tops it, not even close.
The music alone is on another level.
Really hope Infinite will come close to that. Realizing that I haven't had a good Halo game since 3-Reach is fucking depressing.

For the Halo 5 API, depending on what language you're writing in, there may already be a json parser that you can utilize. As for MCC there were a bunch of requests for developer APIs when they were taking feature requests on the MCC update.
Hey thanks for the info! Will take a look and see what is out there and I guess keep my fingers crossed something comes up for MCC!
I see you, slightly live and a bunch of others who used to run/ partake in custom nights! Any chance they will make a come back when MCC is in full swing? :p

I had a survey out a while back on interest in a 2v2 league but only got 3 responses. I'd imagine there will be a couple nights when the update drops, but not a whole lot beyond that.
Welp brehs, unless they forgot to include the 4v4 CE playlist in the latest update, this news kind of killed my hype.
Based Halo devs, crushing dreams and keeping expectations in check. nillapuddin hold me..

Pretty difficult to top. You just have to find a Halo with a better weapon sandb—Oh every other Halo then.
