The flood should not return. The old crutch should leave Halo allowing other fiends to arise. The whole thing should focus on new Fore runner technology, the ancestors and new races. There are older and far better technology than the fore runners. The story should not stay there. The world of Halo should grow on other directions than the Fore Runners, Covenant and the Flood. The flood had a chance and it was well addressed in three games. It is time to move on and try other ideas.

Flood. That was a big mistake. That thing should be left out forever. There are other things out there in space like new races and the ancestors, prior to the forerunners.

Meh.... Could have been better...

Keep it. ^^. Console peasants should have the game. It is what the pleb deserves....^.^ : 3.

After reading the content of MCC I prefer this game to stay on the XBONE forever. I'm no longer interested in it. It went under my expectations.

As I said, should I care? No. I'll continue asking because we PC players are interested in it. Doesn't matter if 343i cares or not. I do care and I want good games on PC.

I don't care. I'll be rattling their doors, ears and probably hack, if I could, the game to make the whole thing available for PC. There are clients waiting and I'll pay for the game too.

Many of us understand the POLITICAL STANCE adopted by MS. We have to wait and comprehend their economical needs. I'm aware of their practices, scopes, expectations and policies. Rarely Halo MCC will debut on PC. If it does the whole thing will happen at a later time where the relevance of it will be diminished. Many of us want the game on PC because there is a hungry sector of that demography who sees something good in the Halo Franchise. The mod community wants to contribute, add fresh ideas, start different game mods and adopt different play styles. The PC community can program, model and propose different levels. Developers will be able to see fresh ideas being tested without them working or spending money on trials and errors. They will design with proven statistics of good levels designed by the community. This could be of great support for 343i. These developer will start their next designs around ideas tested by the community. The product will become relevant to the needs and expectations. Instead of going all out on graphics, procedural tessellation, high resolution 343i will be focusing on game play tweaks, designs and elements for replay value. Why MS is so short sighted and dimwitted? Can they truly become more of a dumba,ss morons than they already are? The Xbox one will be sustained if MS invest in variety instead one title brand. If they can't comprehend that, their whole business strategy will collapse. Their game titles should be exclusive and good otherwise they will end up shoving the XBOX one in their a,ss like they are doing right now. Believe me, the xbox one is a big box, it will be hard to fit the whole thing in the duodenum. We don't want that, no of course, however MS need to be more organic and flexible with their policies. I don't mind waiting, but waiting for ever for something unlikely to happen leaves a bad soar on MS name. They should be more cautious and generous with their clients. After all, we made them riches and relevant to the market, am I right?

We need a some sort of garage to mount and modify the vehicles. WHY WE DON'T HAVE ONE ALREADY?...: P The goose should be customizable like the other vehicle variants.

First, don't tell me what to say, think or do. Second, I'm a PC elitist, you are absolutely right on that. I'm passive on these forums because I accept console gaming. MS made a fiasco and they have to pay for their stupidity. Their lack of vision threw them into this mess. They have to pay dearly and deal with the consequences. No one forced them to do those short comings. Their lack of perspective and their random selection of priorities threw the Xbox behind. Common sense says that not everybody wants to pay fees for borrowed games. Not everybody wants to purchase a code to play a borrowed game. That alone threw many gamers off shore. The other imbecile move was the idiocy of Kinect and all of its uselessness. That made the console too expensive under an inferior architecture in comparison to the PS4. Those are hard facts that are already established. You can research those. MS, if they are truly interested in selling units, they have to invest on first parties, deliver true next generation games for the Xbox one and focus on the player and better online services. MS is arrogant and petulant in many moves. They act too condescending as if they where the only one on the competition. And their game studios are on a halt. The question is this. When MS will truly have next generation games instead of the excrement of cross platform games? When MS will INVEST in technology for graphics optimization and graphics quality for better and smoother frame rates? Where is that code? Is MS going the same path of depending on Halo all the way to move consoles? The stakes are these. PS4 is a superior console. MS decided to go behind in the tech department. However the WiiU has a wonderful list of games under a true inferior console. In other words hardware may be important but the attitude of delivery of MS is just horrid. They have to stop being so clumsy and stupid over important decisions. "Xbox one is not a proper console ? " Xbox one IS NOT a proper console. It is a media center. It tried to be the jack of all trades and failed miserably. When MS hires designers for the next console, then you can be deeply sure that MS is not doing well with the current one. That's the very basics. Can the Xbox 1 offer good games? Yes of course. Hardware is not a definitive trait for purchase. However if the library is weak, and it is weak right now, people are going to look for the PS4 library and to be honest it looks way better than the one promised by MS. Oh and more news.... http://www.newsledge.com/2-big-surprises-yesterdays-npd-report-7890 Told ya.

MS is getting FLOWERED pretty hard as expected. http://recode.net/2014/07/17/microsoft-to-shut-down-xbox-entertainment-studios/ The fiasco of the Xbox one launch is hurting their economy pretty hard. MS felt behind for many dumb reasons. At least the top drones are getting a good lesson on what players expect. MS please, next time, learn how to make a proper console. Thank you. : )

"Ms has lots of first party devs and even one or two third party devs under is belt. Games move systems, and Halo is one of those games that is going to move systems, Halo the mc collection Halo 5 Crackdown 3 These three games are the most hyped first party games of the Xbox one from what I have seen as of now. Did you notice it? Halo is one of these, Halo is going to move systems, lots of systems, I cannot count the number of people I have met who are getting a xbox one just for Halo." They can prioritize selling consoles. I don't mind waiting a year or two. We want to see the game on PC because it has lots of potential. I do know MS strategy but they should not leave PC users outside the loop. We want to see a great game on a platform that can elevate it to a higher position. It will benefit 343i on the long run.

MS always need something to sell. However can it sell well? Can really satisfy clients? Can MS see a perspective in it while they sale? MS moves XBONES not one hit titles like they did with the 360. MS should invest on native first parties like Sony did and develop with a good investment instead of pulling cheap thrills. Halo on PC will move Halo hence the benefit for console players will be greater and in the long run MS will get a steady sale of the title and the console. How about DLC from the PC community? How about map packages at a fair price for the Console community with the ideas of the PC players? MS went deeply imbecile when they included kinect, their weird policies of borrowed games. MS should stop depending on these crutches and get their crap straight. Consoles are moved when MS decides to BUILT UP A LIBRARY of good games. The dependence of very few brands is the stupidest thing to do. MS did that for the last ten years with the 360.

THIS IS A MAP....a well crafted one. Yes, who doesn't want to see all those moving parts and hear the cannon firing? Kudos for such amazing work and display of talent. Now I know why many call Halo forge the Little Big Planet of the FPS genre.... If you have more stuff like this, please show us.

I agree with the idea 100%. Well, this open the box for other modified vehicles for the load out. However the balance could be an issue if a competitive approach is considered. Anyway, let me speak about this for a while. 343i nailed it with the gun goose. It is the right spirit for the right game. Many of these vehicles should become natural for some game types. For example there should be a default setting for all the vehicles and a garage for mounting some specifics to them. Yes modifications are always a welcome when the game is destined for some fun. When the game goes serious into a competitive nature, then there should be the standard set ups for capture the flag and so on. Halo became a sport and a measure of skill. However not everybody goes for the tourney. There should be variety for every player who wants to have some fun meandering around or testing things like many Rube Goldberg enthusiasts out there. A neat idea could be a weapon storage box on the back of the gun goose. Storing items on it could change the concept of vehicle support. We've seen this with the Sunderer in Planet Side 2. The insertion could be with a pelican or any other vehicle available guided by the AI. There are many applications for it. Tiny details like this makes great the Halo franchise. Developers could work with these realistic goals. They can really bring something worthy to the game.

Here are more examples of what many of us want with all the vehicles: Source: https://www.youtube.com/user/LastSpartanInforce/videos

"having to rely on a milk fest of previous titles in order to sell your platform." Precisely. When a company depends on a remake to sell consoles than some policies went wrong all along. The dependence of Gears of War, Halo and Forza never resulted on a full success. MS want to endorse their products but some policies hurts their intentions to sell video games. Halo is an amazing franchise, but took the wrong tour leaving many opportunities out. Why we don't have space battle armadas? Just one or two stages suffice, the rest could be designed like all the Halo we all like to play? Why can't we see battles with Scarabs? Or provide support for CONSOLES giving more tools for the players. Yes, we know, some hardware requires more work because the power is not there, why not let those amazing ideas flourish on PC and implement them on the next Sequel? Halo CE is played even today. Bungie is loosing an immense opportunity leaving PC players in the dark with Destiny. The PC community is very important and so the console community. Their importance reverts on long replay ideas for the game MS wants to sell. Their condescending tone, arrogance and the attitude towards the PC player leaves many potential players outside the loop. Piracy is no longer an excuse because there is Steam. The digital distribution and online can protect those sales, moreover when the potential fun of Halo depends on the ONLINE cooperative experience. "How many times are you morons willing to throw money at MS for the same game a second or third time?" With all honesty I don't have any problem rethinking second purchase of the SAME PRODUCT if the product includes the following: 1. A remake of all HALO games to a higher standard other than a cosmetic graphic switch between the new and the OLD. The fan service is valid but it can hurt the game development itself. I don't want to rule out the idea however I want to see a fresh IMPROVEMENT over Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4. Those games where good but there was too many hit and miss. I want to see 343 improve all the stages while they keep the core of each game intact. For example, stages could be expanded for more exploration, some unexplored regions could be added, bugs fixed and models improved. The stage doesn't need to change significantly however it can improve on many other details. 2. An improvement over the editing tools, this could be the so called "little big planet" of the FPS genre. If the editor tools allows ample options, vehicles and set ups, Halo can breath new life on PC and Consoles. We want to make Halo our game too. Look how successful is Minecraft and Little Big Planet. Halo has a great support of the community, if the community participates more, the game stays for longer providing lots of sales on the long run. A forge editor in any part of the worlds in Halo 1, 2, 3 and 4 campaign levels is enough to boost interest. 3. A four player cooperative for all the Halo games. The lecture of the same product with an upgrade of the current generation changes the nature of the product itself. It is not the same playing Halo 1 with four player on the campaign with the same AI. The AI needs to change and the number of enemies must change. Some elements may remain the same but others requires a complete redesign. If the games are kept identical (Halo 3 and Halo 4) then why I should spend another 60 dollars for a product with slight improvements when we already have them? Illustrations: Costume mod without the barriers on the Halo forge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMF47f33-Rw Edited material out of the Halo games. The first space battle with the ships and the banshee and the broadsword. Space Wars Halo 4 mod. As you said, if there is no significant progress, I don't see why I have to invest 60 dollars on the same product. 343i is having a school session with all the designed Halos. This could be it, however we don't need to pay their enrolling years of training for a product with a slight improvement. I can wait for a true rehash, however MS must invest in it. A cheap face wash up is not enough.

"Short sighted.... you know nothing about the way consoles work. You are the one who is short sighted. These comments right here appear to have the depth of a pond. I'm not going to address answers worthy of a Fields Medal. "MS is fighting at console war they are closing but... they have Halo and Halo is one of the only reasons to get a XB1... I could not count the amount of people who are getting a XB1 just for Halo 5. MS needs Halo as this is their darkest hour." The castration of a great game reverts on the long run. The fiasco of the XBone was the doings of MS incorrect leadership. They are the ones to blame. They may atone the losses with a good batch of games but there are many mistakes like poor memory selection, inferior architecture and overall under performance. Their cheap investment and the mistakes of the console manufacturer should not interfere with the game selection, philosophy and delivery. The WiiU produces great game with almost no power. The quality is IN THE GAMES. The money done on PC will return to MS. The money done on consoles will return to MS. Where is the loss here? Is MS dumb enough to rely on hit titles like they did with the 360? Well, if they where dumb enough to under deliver an inferior SKU they have to recoup with a great selection of games and a better selection of philosophy. Sorry but Sony had a better strategy that is paying off. If MS change their policies with their gamers and PC players maybe they could have a good chance making many of us getting an XBONE without the Kinect. The key is in the price and how MS handles his customers.

1. A very good Halo Map editor. 2. A good remake and retouch for Halo 3 and Halo 4 with improved visuals when they apply and expand the existing levels for more vehicles. 3. Provide all the vehicle for multi player server games. Example: Provide an editor for space battles with cruisers exchanging fire. 4. SHOW SOME LOVE FOR PC GAMERS. WE DO EXIST!!! Do that, and you 343i will be on a hefty ride on the money. Period. Ah, I forgot.... 1. DLC packages and support for PC and CONSOLES for implemented and well thought ideas. THERE...go print all the money you want MS.

Pretty much. Many of these great ideas are canned so they are used for later sequels. It saddens me a lot to see so much potential wasted. I know, it is a market for money so some policy should be done to stay relevant. However watch game like Planet Side 2, they nailed the concept perfectly. This was the expected Halo and someone else made it happen. I do play the Halo franchise time to time however many ideas are dropped. I really don't know why.

I have to agree on this because console mentality of game design ****** really hard the gaming quality. Console design mentality and greed ****** pretty good ideas of having two scarabs and flying vehicles on a game. The ambition of selling an SKU package ****** great ideas on potential games like Halo Master chief collection. I don't blame PC users who asks for some care. PC gamers put quality and life to these games to a greater extend. Even today Halo CE is played by many. The PC industry may not be seen that profitable but they make profits on the long run. Do you know why 343i and especially YOU console peasants? PC players, modders and programmers brings life into these games, they provide great ideas, and provide lots good idea for CONSOLE PLAYERS. The exclusion and almost prejudice against PC players really decrease the potential of amazing ideas of these games. They provide lot of replay value and opportunities for DLC for console players who wants these implementations? Why developers are this short sighted? Why publishers are so short sighted when the binomial relation between PC players and console users can provide dividend for THEM. Great games are enjoyed on PC and CONSOLES. Developers should delegate, yes they should, instead of closing the possibility of extended ideas coming from the community. Good or bad these ideas will resonate and become part of the next games. People want to see things and they purchase when they see them happening. 343i should be more open to these ideas and add tools for the community on CONSOLES and PC. Many PC players enjoy playing with console gamers. There are interesting ideas for the game being tested and shared. PC users also HAVE CONSOLES. You are right, some imbeciles prefer to RACE AGAINST THE PS4 other than providing amazing games for the community. To boot such money will be shipped to MS directly while I PAY MICROSOFT for that amazing DLC. Why investors are this short sighted? Why?

I'm going to be very specific with this. By all means I found this video with edited material of amazing ideas that must be included in the game. The space ship battles, should be included in Halo 4. These scenes should be included in the remastered edition. There are few ideas that could be discarded but space battles like those should be included in the game. I want to see a remaster of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Those where great games but with the technology and tools available these could get a remake. Please, work on them, expand those amazing worlds and bring more exploration for Halo 3 and 4. Those where great games that need attention. I find interesting the switch between the original and the updated edition. However I prefer a profound remake of Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, and retouch a bit Halo 4 adding more weapons and freedom of exploration. Include SPACE BATTLES. WE WANT THOSE....
