    The Official "Halo: TMCC" Thread

    Well we're nearly a year into launch and there are still TONS of bugs and problems that need fixing (full list on r/halo). Bravo has confirmed on Halo Waypoint that another patch is inbound but rumour is that this will be the final one before Halo 5 drops. I highly doubt that this will fix...

    Anyone here full Microsoft?

    Me: Main PC and server on Windows 8.1 Surface 2 on RT 8.1 Lumia 930 Xbox One Other half: HP laptop on Windows 10 TP Samsung Galaxy S5 - but is changing for a Lumia 640XL later this year :wink: I use iTunes for my music library, and of course YouTube - but only via Metrotube apps (no ads!)

    Your favorite games & biggest disappointments of the year...

    Ok my favourie game AND biggest dissappointment is: Halo: The Master Cheif Collection. Let's start with the dissappointment. This was the game that was supposed to reinvigorate the Halo community, spark life back into competitive Halo and allow all the old fans to re-live the glory days in...

    XBOX App on Windows 10

    Very excited for this feature/app. My main question is if other video apps such as Plex can be used locally on the Xbox, whilst I stream a game to the PC. Fingers crossed...

    Bye Bye, Google

    Block anyone who does what sort of thing? Use a YouTube app?! Apps can provide a superior experience to a desktop site, one of those positives is the lack of ads.

    Bye Bye, Google

    For those who (rightly) say there is no alternative to using YouTube, if you use an app such as MetroTube (on mobile and desktop), then there are no ads like when using the YouTube website. This = no ad money for Google. Every little helps :amaze: Also, MetroTube is a fantastic app.

    2015 Games Thread

    I'm not a huge gamer so there are only 2 titles this year I have my eyes on. One hasn't even been announced... 1. Halo 5 : Guardians Obvious choice, yes. But the Master Cheif Collection - multiplayer bugs aside - is a phenomenal game. Playing through all 4 campaigns, as well as the playlists...

    The Official "Halo: TMCC" Thread

    Completely agree with the "open world" feel of CE. When I first played through it on MCC I nearly got lost early in the game quite a few times! I'm currently playing through Halo 2 Anniversary campaign with a friend online, and we're bothed just awed by the new graphics and cut scenes. It just...

    Windows 10 Transparent Tiles on Phones

    I'm loving what I'm seeing so far. The proper background image, interactive tiles, new settings menu, notifications, OUTLOOK - it all looks fantastic and super-productive. What is the preview app called? I can't find it in the store!
