"LOL is it still broken?"

"Does anyone care anymore?"

"halo is dad"

I think that covers most posts... I'm excited! Can't wait to try out the new version!

Just announced on the Inside Xbox stream. Will get all the enhancements from the update.

Experience Halo CE: Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4 – all updated with improved matchmaking, offline LAN, faster load times, Xbox One X visual enhancements, and more.

I doubt they're going to fix the things they've broken in the insider build in a week. I am so incredibly dissapointed they're going to be breaking a bunch of graphical aspects in the patch that's supposed to fix the game. Performance isn't particularly solid either

While it disappointed me tremendously in 2014, its improved a lot and its great to see these enhancements and that its coming to game pass. Four great games imo.

Should also mention the intelligent delivery system. No longer have to have the entire game downloaded. Can choose between SP and MP portions of each individual game. Great for players who only want to play Halo 3 MP, or speedrunners who just want the campaigns.

You can, kinda.

You start the download and when it says ready to start you can select which games you want to download and in which order.

You need to have the full 70gbs or so free before you can start the download though.

Is it really that rough? Maybe the latest flight isn't the most up to date code?

Yep! Once you download enough of the game you can launch it and open up the intelligent delivery page and choose what you want from there.

Can't wait for the patch and GamePass. Going to jump back into this with my friends to try and do all the coop stuff.

Any idea if my current game will receive a patch or if one would have to re-download the entire game?

AFAIK, ODST is there with all the enhancements same as it was before. It's considered add-on DLC, so it's not included in the Game Pass version.

Hopefully this reinvigorates the community and we see some higher player counts. Would love to dive into this again.

That 60fps part needs an asterisk. Halo Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary are not locked. Maybe it'll be fixed on the release day version, but the last build I played had issues. Hopefully the LOD issues in 4 are also fixed.

Better late than never, this is awesome. Hyped for that 4K HDR goodness and more people playing online
