Over 100 Maps

How did 343 find the time to give the maps from Halo 1, 2, and 3 updated graphics? And in Halo 2 multiplayer, how are you supposed to switch from retro graphics to modern if the Back button brings up the scoreboard?

Halo 1, 3, and 4 did not have multiplayer graphically updated. Halo 2 was the only multiplayer to receive a graphical update, but it's really not a graphical update at all. It is a reimagining of Halo 2 multiplayer on it's own engine running better graphics. In other words, The reimagining plays just like Halo 2, but is not fully identical. There is also the real original Halo 2 multiplayer on the game as well, if you feel like playing that over the updated version. There is also no way to switch the MP graphics because old Halo 2 and reimagined Halo 2 are actually different and would be played separately, so the select button would still be scoreboard.

Okay, from what I gather, you can play from playlists that have all the games' maps combined. Wouldn't that look bad for 343 if they let you go into matchmaking and play a map with Halo 1's dated graphics in one game, then the next game comes up and it's a Halo 4 map with pretty much new-ish graphics?

 

And why can't the original Halo 2 have new graphics? The campaign gets them.

Halo CE has is own anniversary so it and H3/4 only get boosted to 1080p, 60fps. That's the only changed made to them visually.

Halo 2:A gets the campaign remastered which has interchangeable graphics (back button) while it's multiplayer remains exactly how it was 10 years ago.

Six Halo 2 maps are remastered with full anniversary treatment, these visually are on par with Halo 4 and cannot be switched back graphically because in some senses, they're a different map to the original.

In the multiplayer system, you can sort by game or gametype going through all of the games in a mix. Most people will gravitate to Halo 2/3 since that was the peak of its population. However people will find Halo CE being online something fresh, and they just played Halo 4. With memories and nostalgia being an important piece of the MCC, people won't generally care what the game looks like, nor should they. They'll pick on what gave them the most fun.

1. They said it will be a  bit jarring but this game is for the fans and at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Games are for fun not eye popping visuals.

 

2. Well because the campaign is part of Halo 2A(a different game then Halo 2) and that brings the remastered/original campaign along with 6 re-imagined multiplayer maps(this means adding new features that never made it into Halo 2, new weapons, game modes, etc)

Hopefully the controls will be the same for every game. I've been trying to press RB to reload in Halo 2, and pressing X to sprint in Halo Reach.

Although you'll still be able to choose individual control schemes for individual games if you prefer, there are also going to be several universal control schemes which you can pick from which will be the same regardless of which game you're playing.
