If it's like the other games, all dlc maps will be included from jump. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.Wish they'd add Halo 1 Anniversay Multiplayer maps while they're porting Reach, but oh well.
For some reason I'd remember Halo Anniversary MP having different tuning, despite running in the Reach engine. Not sure if that's the caseIf it's like the other games, all dlc maps will be included from jump. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.
Reach was a mess of different tunings but that won't prevent them from including those specific settings and maps.For some reason I'd remember Halo Anniversary MP having different tuning, despite running in the Reach engine. Not sure if that's the case
It wasn't the maps directly but Anniversary MP had classic playlists that used modified settings and modified pistol. But if you booted up the map with standard Reach gametype, it didn't have anything special going on.For some reason I'd remember Halo Anniversary MP having different tuning, despite running in the Reach engine.

The Steam version likely will not. The XBL login is probably for crossplay and/or save sync.While they haven't confirmed officially, it's probably going to be the same as Killer Instinct:
* If you buy/use on the Microsoft Store, it's Play Anywhere.
* The Steam version is not Play Anywhere.
Altho the Steam version for this lists an X-Box Live login required, so maybe the Steam version will support Play Anywhere this time around?
Is this worth getting for some LAN gaming? I've never really played Halo but I recall my friends having a great time bringing their X-box's round each others houses for some multiplayer action.
I ask because a few buddies and I have decided to get back into LAN gaming this year but so far have only decided on Red Alert 2 and our old favourite MOH: Allied Assault.

Open question so far. Same with if Game Pass will extend to the PC version (Windows Store).Is this a Play Anywhere title or will we need to purchase it again on PC?
Hoping they try to bring Reach's customization to MCC. One of the best parts of the campaign is to see your goofy-ass, brightly-coloured, mishmash character in the cutscenes.none of the master chief collection games has the armor customization they had in the originals, just pick from whole sets like this

It was a playlist within reach that you could play if you bought the dlc. It will be thereFor some reason I'd remember Halo Anniversary MP having different tuning, despite running in the Reach engine. Not sure if that's the case
I wonder how much space this collection will occupy on PC. It's probably around 120GB on X1 as of now, right? They do let you pick and choose what to download, no?
Well, for the amount of content, that's actually kinda reasonable. Can you just have the campaigns installed?

Reach gets shadow-dropped on Sunday - that's clearly why they're holding out on release details until then.
I've pretty much exhausted all thoughts I have on this now until Sunday. But I've 180'd on Reach being the first game to come to PC. It's actually genius. If they dropped halo 3 first I do think a lot of people wouldn't bother playing other titles as much as they came out. This way we get to fully appreciate each title in their own right. I know I wouldn't have touched Reach with a barge pole if this all came out at once (talking MP here, campaign is fantastic).
All I hope if that there is at least a few playlists with no bloom/no sprint. I would imagine a large chunk of PC shooters new to halo will gravitate to those playlists.
No bloom with proper mouse aiming is gonna be ridiculous. I dont think that would ever work. You would almost die instantly across the map, it would be CoD levels of TTK.
Thankfully at least it will have Reach DLC maps. I remember the base maps being awful since they just repurposed them from campaign levels to save time.
You know, I'm really not that keen on the Blur cutscenes that Halo 2 Anniversary uses. A huge amount of the dialogue timing is off with pauses between lines often being removed for some reason, and some excellent editing -- such as the transitions -- are lost, and subtle emoting is lost. The new cutscenes are flashier, but they're not as... artistically cohesive as the originals. Not to mention how jarring the switch back and forth between ingame graphics and prerendered cutscenes is.
Of course you can switch back to classic graphics mode to watch the original ingame cutscenes. But it's a shame you couldn't get the updated graphics AND ingame cutscenes.
Why no sprint? If they remove bloom, I hope they reduce the rate of fire a little bit. But of course it's been a long time since I've played so maybe I'd be fine with it now.I've pretty much exhausted all thoughts I have on this now until Sunday.

Now that Halo has come to PC and Reach is coming with it, fixing this issue has become my number 1 request to 343 Industriesnone of the master chief collection games has the armor customization they had in the originals, just pick from whole sets like this
Unfortunately I highly doubt it'll be shadow dropped Sunday. I imagine it'll be just outlining some of the new features and details like cross play and the customs browser. That's about it.

It wasn't as big a deal in Halo 3 because the armor just wasn't detailed other than the helmet, so whatever. It was a bigger deal in Halo 4 since it was detailed, but I didn't play Halo 4, so whatever.
But it's a VERY big deal in Halo Reach because you don't just see your character in MP, but in the campaign. Taking armor customization out of that will be taking out a major feature of the game.
Please, please, PLEASE 343, don't let this happen with Reach.
Stinkles , I don't know what department of 343 you work at, but I'm tagging you in this to hopefully get the message across.

We /might/ find out Sunday? You do have to sign into XBL to play, so there is a chance.This has probably been asked, but will Rach/MCC on PC be cross-play with the Xbox?
