There is a possibility tho the pc version is gonna be locked to 60 also. Depends on the engine limitations.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection announced for PC (Steam/Microsoft Store) - Staggered release, Reach first
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
Will be immensely disappointing as Halo Forge plays amazingly at 120.
what they should actually do is end MCC with Halo 5 being added 4-5 months before the release of Infinite so not only is the full package on console but also on PC and both platforms are ready to go for the next chapter in the saga the moment it drops.
Great SP story, OK SP gameplay, mixed to clumsy MP experience
Yeah, not sure what they actually mean with adjustable framerate here:
Invasion on Spire was peak Halo btb and nobody can argue against that. However, Extraction from Halo 4 was a lot of fun, a shame that a lot of people don't really remember it. It played excellently on the DLC maps, like Shatter.
I mean, I'd argue the SP story was pretty good.
Different, but good.
I thought the campaign was really good personally. The mp was trash tho.
To correct: the Cortana and chief stuff is great, but the overarching story was mostly done through like two cutscenes and the terminals and is generally meh
But then again they did have to fix this issue when going from 30 to 60 for the original MCC so it's possibly going to be an easy feature to implement.
Steam or Windows Store. Microsoft doesn't require Xbox Live Gold for any of their PC games.
I am talking strictly about the campaign.
The Dialogues between Chief and Cortana are great.
The gameplay too actually (Maybe too many quicktime events near the end)
But the story itself throws so many weird game-specific terms around that its really hard to follow what is even going on.
Maybe its better if you read the novels or are a hardcore Halo lore guy.
I still liked the game but 1 - 3 had much simpler plots and were better for it.
120+ FPS would be nice, but it's exclusion would be understandable, being ports of such scattershot code and all. Hopefully they can at least add interpolation like Catherine has.
They might have changed the FPS cap, but that doesn't mean they could make it run uncapped. FF XII has this on PC, there's the option to play at 60 FPS, but the game speed is still locked to framerate. They just changed the target framerate.
I totally agree. Any campaign that has a literal 10 minute info dump does not have a good story and I'm baffled as to why people think it's well done. Also, the gameplay design is terrible, with the most lineral missions in the series, the least interesting group of enemies, and almost every objective is just "go here and smash this button."
I think we've reached this point where the backlash to the H5 campaign is so severe that it makes H4 looks better in comparison, but it's not good.
I replayed it recently and enjoyed it. And it's freakin' gorgeous in 4K.
Nah, Halo 4 was great before Halo 5 dropped. Although I have come to appreciate the Promethean combat in 4 much more after they butchered it in 5.
MP is really mediocre due to trying to get that CoD money, Spartan Ops is a cool concept executed poorly, and SP is a mixed bag. On one hand, the overall story is so entwined with the expanded universe that you need to read the books to understand it and the level design is often overly linear and more focused on CoD-style set pieces than the more open arenas of the former campaigns, but on the other hand the stuff between Chief and Cortana is really good and the penultimate mission is one of the best in the entire series.
On MCC is a pain to play through as you can't do the missions back to back without entering menus between each one.
Was that bad the performance on Xbox 360? I have very bad memory and didn't notice bad performance on games back those days.
Still extremely excited about this announcement, but it has rapidly turned into impatient irritation n that there's still no firm release date.
LOL, I hope it's not shadowdroped this weekend. I'm out my home for 10 days and I would have a painful wait until I come back.
they say "adjustable framerates" in the Waypoint post. Could be totally unlocked, could also just mean a few presets(like 30/60/120/144) or even unlocked but with an arbitrary cap(like say, 150FPS or something). As long as we get something past 60FPS I'll be content tbh
Worth pointing out that they've since patched much of the COD-like aspects out of the MP. I've had some decent fun with Halo 4 MCC.
With this happening and in addiiton to Reach I am wondering if the following will happen...
I guess time will tell.
- Expanded/fixed armor customization
- Terminals being added into the game properly rather than forced to load the abandoned Halo Channel app
- All of the original games End Credits being added in as the Reach Ending \credits is an important cinematic.
I guess time will tell.
It would be really nice to get clarification on that. FPS is one genre where I'd rather have >60 FPS. (...)
I'd love to be able to open a terminal and watch a video file play natively on my PC. That said, it'd probably result in a huge install size if streaming weren't made optional.
worst case scenario, if the remasters are built on the same engine that Halo Forge is built on, it's trivial to unlock with Cheat Engine.
campaign was great. The relationship between Cortana and Chief at its best.
The multiplayer was just ok tho. I wouldnt say its bad but compared to Reach or 3 which are the games previously it doesn't come close to that high.
100% worth a run, I plan on doing that as I make a run thru all the games before Infinite releases.
If it's as easy as it was with H5F you can just edit that value in cheatengine
As far as I can tell, Reach doesn't have object motion blur. Digital Foundry thought otherwise in their analysis, but I'm not sure what Richard was looking at.
There are a few case-specific forms of object motion blur, like how rain particles get geometrically stretched in their true motion direction so that they look like streaks.
But by and large the game's motion blur seems to base pixel velocity on just camera movement and depth. That's why at the start of the game, when you're about to be dropped off by a Falcon, the other Falcon sometimes looks blurred even when it's moving at about the same speed and direction as you are.
Curious to know if Reach had animations designed around 30fps and whether they will translate well to 60fps. I remember there were lower animation frames for some distant objects like enemies, hopefully they're smoother as well.
Even the music has its moment, it's a shame so many hated it just because it's written by another composer.
343 obviously cares about the series but has had some missteps so far, but they are doing all the right things recently and I'm confident they can turn it around with Infinite.
343i games far and away have better gunplay than the Bungie Halos. 2 was Bungie's best gunplay and 3 and Reach were both downhill from that.
I heavily dislike Halo 4's gunplay. Halo 5 was a good step up though. I prefer Bungie's gunplay overall.
I'll never understand this criticism. You definitely DONT need to read the books to understand the fucking story of halo 4.
