The Official "Halo: TMCC" Thread

I'm so torn on weather to get this game digitally or on disc. I really want the "my other car is a warthog" license plate cover

Here's a reason to get it digitally.

Halo Collection Has A 20 GB Day-One Update

I don't get why they won't let you install a game before release, if it's not purchased digitally. I mean, if you want to eat up your HDD space with a digital copy beforehand, they should let you. That, or they should start having pre-orders come with codes to download the game (so they know you're purchasing it physically), but just not let the digital copy work without the disc. It's going to suck going to get this at midnight, only to get home and start a 20-GB DL. Even at peak speeds here (120 Mbps), which the console never makes use of, this would take 23 minutes to install. I would love to be able to start the update, at least, then get home, install the game, and get it going.

Just pre-purchased the digital version of the game. Should be downloading now if not I'll start it when i get home. Now i just have to decide what my 3rd game will be for my Xbox Rewards punchcard to get my $20 in rewards.

Pre-purchased this game too . Looking forward to Tuesday

Man, I stink at Halo MP... I was able to play one game (granted I never play well when I'm tired... and I stayed up to 'play it first' after midnight) last night of Halo 2 MP before the servers bonked out... My team lost 50-12. Haha. I had zero kills - but like 8 assists...

Played the first mission of Halo: CE and wow - so many memories. That games opening reminds me of a mix between Half-Life and Unreal. Loved it. I also noticed how 'coddled' we are as gamers now. As there was no direction whatsoever of 'where to go.' I had forgotten about that. It was nice to not know where I was supposed to go and just figure it out.

Man it hurt me last night... I used to be so good at halo 2. I struggled to go positive in the 3 games i was able to find before i gave up (searched for like 15 min each time.) I think my main issue is the frame rate is so smooth that you feel like you are moving extra slow. It's going to take me some time to figure out what control scheme i want to use.

I didnt start any of the story missions because im waiting for my wife to play with me. I'm forcing her to play all 4 games with me

 

[ncxcstud]

I just did the opening mission since its been over 10 years since I played it. My roommate from college and I are going to co-op on legendary through it all . I can't wait.

 

[MobileVortex]

We will probably do it on Normal. I think we could do it on Hardened but she will probably get frustrated easily.

I'll need to recruit one of my friends to run through on legendary. I've grinded it solo once on each game, I don't need to do it again

I'm kind of pissed that the first two campaigns are only 2-player. My plan was to 3-man with a friend online and my cousin, and my cousin had to sit out (which sucked because he stayed up past 2 AM while the game installed and patched). We got through 4 or 5 levels ("The Silent Cartographer" was the last) before calling it at about 6:30, but we're going to probably get back to it around 1 or 2 PM.

Going to play this over the weekend. I think I'm good for games this year. I got FIFA 15, Halo TMCC, Halo 5 Beta, and COD AW. No other big games come out this year, right?

Wait, ONLY two player or up to two players? Because if it isn't a solo campaign that sucks.

Up to 2 players, just like the classic Halo and Halo 2.

 

[unstoppablekem]

Up to 2 players, just like the classic Halo and Halo 2.

That makes more sense

 

[ncxcstud]

You couldn't do that in the original though. I'd imagine having to add a 3rd protagonist could 'break' the game being that it'd be forcing it to do something that it never was intended to do. All they've changed is updated graphics and sounds but the core games remain the same.

There is a patch rolling out this morning and another one planned for this weekend. There are a lot of problems with this launch. Hopefully they can get things sorted out quickly. My wife and i got past the silent cartographer last night. So far only 1 achievement has unlocked for me and 0 for her. At least our game isnt dropping out.

Am I the only one that prefers the old graphics to the "updated" ones? the new ones are just louder not really that much better (talking Halo:CE).

So I just got an email for promo code for some DLC. Did I miss something? Or what is this DLC suppose to be?

 

[MobileVortex]

Is it the skull you get from pre-ordering? I'm not aware of any other DLC being announced yet.

 

[jargonz]

To those who preordered the digital download version this game, did your Boom Skull preorder bonus install? Mine just stays in the queue with the status "Installation stopped".

Mine downloaded and installed properly

Is it bad that I miss Halo 4 multiplayer? Just played my first match and I really miss 4. Sorry, I know this is blasphemy to many, but the Halo 2 multiplayer just feel sluggish and...I don't know...wrong? Maybe I'm just too used to Titanfall and Halo 4.
