^^ You are quite welcome good sir!

Well yes and no. CEA ran fine, and that had 2 engines running side by side. With MMC, you have the tweaked H4 engine running the new UI and mm elements until the map voting and engine handles secondary running to only one of the other ones. So lag no, but it could not be on 4 discs and work.

MCC wouldn't work across multiple discs unless it was to be installed on the 360. But given the massive game it is, it would likely require you to erase everything but MMC. Running it should be no problem as Halo 4 already runs fine on the 360.

As previously stated they would get creamed. OP, please go back and read The Fall of Reach. it illustrates just how lethal a Spartan is WITHOUT his heavy *** power assisted armor. John faces 4 ODST's in a ring, and kills them all without a sweat in about 5 seconds. No armor, no weapons. And this wasn't a fair fight either. 4 on 1 without warning. It also goes on to illustrate how strong a Spartan is, and how even things we perceive at normal speed, pass slower for Spartans due to their heightened perception. The ODST game glorified the ODST's in a way that is almost contradictory to how resilient and strong they are. I mean c'mon, an ODST is NOT going to take the blade end of a Gravity Hammer swung at full force, and live to tell the tale. It took 3 of them to get the Brute down. Spartans are just as strong, so ODST's......no they get creamed every time in that mash up. As for your question about adding them into Halo 5 multiplayer, yes it's a simple matter really. Most weapons use all the same animation bases, except for bipeds like brutes or grunts etc.. which all vary in size. It would be quite simple to recompile the existing ODST models and reuse the animations from either Halo 3 or Reach. Actually, they could just use the animations from the marines in Halo 4, since the size is about spot on. The HUD is another simple matter of just reusing bitmaps and widgets.

If anyone bothered to do their homework on the infamous E3 Demo, you would know that the engine they used for it was completely scrapped. Meaning source as well. The existence of the Demo can be found and purchased. Frank stated clearly that porting the demo was not possible because the demo used a completely different engine. If you do happen to find a seller of the demo (rare item, most were returned to Bungie), be prepared to pay upwards of $400 just for the disc, and upwards of $700 for the disc with the paperwork.

So let me get this straight, everyone ******* about about wanting Halo 2..... Then you wqnt updated graphics...ok thats cool....now you want to add Halo 3, 4 and Reach features into it?!? Wtf was the point then? You might as well just asked 343 to tweak the Halo 4 engine to run similar to Halo 2 then. At least you guys got an update for Halo 2... we PC gamers got lot left holding the bag. Take your remake with the basics they talked about and stfu.

Completely new vehicles and weapons in any of the previous titles iant happening. Frank stated clearly that they had various crashing issues with JUST getting Halo 2 to.function right in this collection. Each title is running its version of the Blam! engine, which means each title is limited to ots original weapon and vehicle schemw. The only thing they can do, is update the models or textures. So yes it may be possible to see a Storm BR in place of the H2 BR, or a reskinned hog. As for Forge, I am baffled. Being able to forge on Halo 2 maps means either they added objects and scenery to the maps, but you will be limited to playing those forge variants on Halo 4. Halo 2's engine while meant to support both forge and theatre, the original game doesnt have engine components capable of supporting it.

72 rounds for the BR is nothing new. I believe the cap on the max rounds was 108? So I don't know what the hub-bub is about that. But onto the actual topic...seeing as how Halo 5 already seems to be "stealing" abilities from other games with this Ground Pound (Crysis), I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of weapon attachment system either exactly Crysis, or CoD make it's appearance.

That is what you all asked for. Matchmaking combines Halo 1-4 and depwnding on what map is voted for, that is the title you play. The only way to play on one particular title, will be to host custom games. They have already stated quite clearly I may add, that the whole MCC is buggy, and most of the things they have done caused the game to.crash when attempting certain things during gameplay. Iirc, that is Frankie stated that ONLY 5 maps from Halo 2 were being given the makeover. The rest of the maps will be default stock maps in their original appearance, or at the very least, just retextured. None of the geometry will be tweaked like they did for the campaign. He claimed that engine versions and map.specific resources were the cause of this. Honestly, Im amazed they were able to to use scripting to accomplish this task, as well as compile such a huge mainmenu resource to host this.

Not to burst your bubble, but it seems from the screenshots and video, that 2 of the 5 re-imagined maps are Distruct and Uplift. Not sure how these 2 are re-imagined...as they were PC exclusive maps. Also note that they did change the gameplay of Halo 2 MM by uocking the backpack weapon view. A major strategy in Halo 2 was being able to see what secondary weapon an opponent was carrying. Just throwing that out there for you.

Bnus is correct. We don't want or need some supped up graphically enhanced version. We can do that work ourselves. Just give us the updates and proper unlocked tools we should have had!

Dont troll my posts with grammar corrections. It will only serve to annoy me further.

even with a skill system like Halo 2 or 3, playing your brains out can increase your levwl.as well. The more you play the better orbworse you get, and you increase your chances of getting paired with people in your skill bracket whom you might be lwvwls above in terms of play style. Maps and weapon starts also effect ones chance of winning a match as well. not everyone is 100% bkiller on all maps. their will.always be certain ones you excel in.

It was relevant to what the OP posted. The OP was whom I was speaking to.

If your using IE11 that's why. For some reason compatibility is poor with a lot of sites. try using Firefox for browsing 343i.org.

Dude your from the USA! You would still be here whether or not America decided to help fight the Nazi regime or not. And the US didn't enter the war to fight for Europe's freedom from the Socialist Fist of Germany, they entered as an act of revenge and self interest. It just so happened that Europe's freedom hung in the balance. A cold hard fact is, nearly 90% of American and it's troops knew nothing about Germany or why they were doing what they did. All they were told was that germans like to kill Jews and all people of inferior breeding, and that they were bad. Not a single American or soldier I promise you, could talk about german values or ideals in great length at all during World War I and II. All they understood about the enemy, was that they were killing millions. I'm not justifying what my people did, but to talk about a people and what their government stood for so blindly without fact, is wrong on all counts.

Wherez mah DMBR?!? Guess I'll just have to go with DMR. Aside from it's operational perfection (my opinion only), I like the way it was done in terms of sounds, and firing. The BR always just seemed...gimmicky? Like it didn't really belong, at least the Halo 4 Storm BR anyway.

Ah great just we needed, another cute dame... (walks away and slams door) JK Welcome to the forums forums eager beaver. Hope you enjoy it!

I can't remember if I put this up for everyone who plays Halo 2 PC still. I had Scrapy run through 3 of my new maps that I am still working on. Gotta love Scrapy's shameless plug to get me a job at the end! Thanks Scrapy!

Please tell me you have more?!? I miss those old days during the first year. Got any of my silliness? Just wanna see how much I have changed over the years.

Sweetness! Thanks to whomever voted for me! Now where's my AWARD!!!!???
