Halo 5 10/27 and MCC Thread

Have they made any mention of the double melee button combo in Halo 1 being intact? I know it's the PC version that they're using, but I don't know if that version had that combo in it or not.

Believe they confirmed those would all still be there but I can't find the article.

 
Ranking System Detailed:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/29/halo-the-master-chief-collections-ranking-system-detailed-ign-first

"Each playlist within Halo: The Master Chief Collection uses an independent skill-based ranking system that is identical to the leveling system from the original Halo 2," the studio told IGN. "The system uses the same exact XP requirements as the original Halo 2; players will earn XP when they win and lose XP when they lose, and total XP will determine their rank. You will have a skill-based ranking per each playlist; we ultimately decided not to have a 'master' ranking across all four games combined, given that player skill and approach varies radically between game chapters.

"Additionally, we’ve also modified matchmaking to use skill detection, which will put players into the fairest matches faster than any Halo game to date,"

"Hey legendary difficulty jackal sniper alley. Suck on my balllls.", still so much pent up frustration from years past that will finally be relieved.

Why the heck does the game have 20 gb update at launch that is pretty awful. Guys my friend will not be playing it until next wed he has like 6 mbs internet. These large updates at lunch are getting old fast.
 
The beautiful thing about Halo coming out on the 11th is that the 11th is Veterans Day. I believe all schools and most work places will be closed to recognize the holiday.

yup, I couldn't take the waiting so I bought it digitally--took me about 6 hours to fully download the game itself. Update is still pending.

I know a lot of people are having thoughts about the update, but the only way to get ahead on that is to download it digitally, I'd say. I feel your pain.

You haven't been following this game at all have you? It's the entire online portion of the game. Its not a fix or patch. They didn't want to make the game 2 discs.

Who has an Xbox One and doesn't have internet? What would be the point of having one right now? If they don't have internet they don't need the update in the first place because it is entirely multiplayer

 
I wish there was a way to pre-download the update if you got the game coming on a disc. I bought the game with Amazon Credit.

My internet will take forever to download it.

And you can play the campaign while that update's installing. Not bad at all.

The digital download is more profitable and should have certain advantages anyway.

Uh, 15GB Day One patch totally sucks balls.  I was on the fence for awhile and this game made me actually buy an Xbone.  I wanted to hop onto MP immediately once I picked up my BB preorder.  So much for that.

they hav einternet it's took him over night to update a game he got when he got system this summer. No reason the game could not be two disc why would you support this aboutmaking a giant update instead of including a 2nd disc

 
Well 15GB is lower then 20GB.

Put your system in standby mode and it will download even when off as long as you have auto updates checked off.

Anyone have XBox One fan issues? Mine went away but is now back. Sounds like a cricket on the right of the sytem, goes away with some canned air for a bit then comes back, also does not make the noise at all on standby mode. I'm thinking maybe it has to do with the recent updates, no idea.

Similiar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOLeUg1J-do (and thats on a brand new sunset bundle)

Mine might have been more faint months ago but it's becoming more noticeable.

Considering my warranty is good till Feb 2017 and I wear a headset for gaming sound 90% of the time I'm probably just going to wait it out but curious as to how many others are having this issue. Seems to be pretty common where as system failures are not, maybe failure in the long run with bad fan bearings?

 
my opinion they should make it anyone can download update but does nothing until you own copy of game. like i said many people are going to be upset come tues with this.

Because then to go from single player to multi-player Id have to switch discs back and forth and it would be more annoying than DOWNLOADING the ONLINE multi-player and never having to switch the disc out from the console that built itself as being an online system from GO.

how? seeing games are fully installed now disc change would not be needed. gta v was two disc and did not have to change disc to switch modes.

Am I the only one who read NinjaPenquin777's post?

Edit: nevermind, I see it was digital version only. Now I feel dumb... :p

Yeah something must have gotten screwed up in the recent update. My console hasn't had any issues since I got it back in December and now since I got the newest update whenever the system boots up the fan starts spinning like crazy for a few minutes.
