Anyone here been playing the MCC on PC? Waiting till they release the whole package. When is that going to happen btw? Well right now Reach and Combat Evolved Anniversary are out. The testing flight for Halo 2 Anniversary (I was in it) just finished last night so I'm pretty sure Halo 2 will be added in the next month. I can see all the titles being added by the fall (3 probably mid summer, ODST late summer, and 4 in the fall).

Yeah the whole package wil l be out by th eend of the year I suspect even with all this pandemic business going on. It's just I think making sure all the MP stuff works as intended. Because if it was jus tthe singleplayer I suspect it would be out already. I haven't played i ton PC yet as I'm waiting for them all to come out first as I'm only interested in the singleplayer I hav eordered it though on Steam. As I did that last year around th etime I think Reach dropped or just before. But yeah Halo2 2 is my favouruiet one and the one I'm looking forward to playing most again. I haven't played Reach and ODST but I have played 1 through 4

Looks like Halo 3 is almost ready for release if it hasn't been added already so looking good.

Glad to see the Banished make it into the mainline series. Hopefully Atriox will make the jump as well; and the story will do his character justice.
Would also be cool to see Colony and the Shipmaster get their time to shine too.

Would also be cool to see Colony and the Shipmaster get their time to shine too. Yeah I would love for Colony to be in the game too. Voridus and Pavium I can see showing up as well. I wonder if any of the new Banished units will be in the game, like the Goliaths, Skitterers, etc.

Reading some the back-n-forth... From what I know of the lore, it isn't so much that mankind is special "just because". I think it has more to do with ancient humans being at war with the Forerunners, but only because the A.H. were fleeing the Flood. This all happened millions/billions of years ago, and our "punishment" was to be almost literally bombed back to the Stone Age. It's also known that the Covenant were VERY stagnant, not innovative at all due to their highly superstitious nature towards anything Forerunner. Whereas humans took the initiative and were able to develop energy shields, super-soldiers, A.I., FTL travel, terraforming, and on and on either by willing to try new things or reverse-engineering Covenant/Forerunner tech. Put another way, we were equal to the Forerunners eons ago, and would have surpassed them if not for several critical circumstances. But while we were sent back to "Start", our species' "momentum" was not stopped. The Covenant plateaued, and our initial contact showed we were poorly matched, but we kept rising. To be fair, I make no assumptions, and I could be wrong on several counts; but I think I'm in the ballpark here. I do agree that half the story taking place in outside media makes it nigh impossible for casual players such as myself to extrapolate all the nuance of the setting... but frankly I'm just here for Master Chief. The spectacle of these games never ceases to impress, and as I've posted before, I like the "Humanity is Special" story mechanic. So if nothing else, Halo INFINITE will be entertaining to watch, I have no doubt. I can understand that line of thinking, I just am rather disappointed in how the Covenant races; the Lekego in particular given the gestalt Colony, and it's actions during Halo Wars 2, is most likely going to be swept under the rug or reduced to mindless, faceless monsters for the Master Chief to kill. The Arbiter, or hell, even Axtriox and the Banished could be valuable allies in the coming hostilities with the Cortana corrupted AI and/or the return of the Flood, but they have systematically been stripped of all characterization over the course of the series to the point that they aren't really characters anymore so much as a glorified background prop. Because heaven forbid Superman humanity actually needs some alien help in these fights. It just comes across as juvenile I suppose, that the universe of the Halo setting is so accommodating to making humans look awesome (although its usually focused on the Master Chief) at the expense of turning the rest of the IP's inhabitants into nothing more than walking target practice. I mean would it kill the writers to have a human character as a villain? To have humans shown to be in the wrong? Or is this a science fiction series were humans have evolved past such notions and only the 'primitive' species around them have such flaws? Then again, Halo isn't particularly unique in this regard. I don't like how Spartans are being pushed to the forefront, it really just erodes the other cool elements of the UNSC like the ODSTs.

Spartans are genetically modified, exosuit-assisted super soldiers so of course them wiping out entire armies of Covenant/Flood/Forerunner forces is to such a trope in this setting that it's boring. ODSTs fighting a grueling hit and run campaign against occupying Covenant forces on the other hand was much more interesting and engaging. Sgt. Buck in particular was far more compelling a character as an ODST commander than he was as just another Spartan III.

On one hand I remember them taking about Master Chief graveling with a group of marines and they’ll be explored. On the other, with the Banished in play not only will there be the 4s and Blue Team but also Red Team if the Spirit of Fire gets involved too. Personally I love the Spartans, especially the 2s, so want as much time on them as possible since Chief isn’t alone anymore but has his family with him.

I like some of the 4s, like Palmer and Fireteam Osiris (my least favorite being Buck) but others like most of Fireteam Majestic were annoying. But yeah the 2s are way better, from their tragic backstory to their relationship with each other since they’re the only family they have left and so on. That’s why I’m excited with the Banished news since besides the Banished themselves being great antagonists I’m excited to see Jerome, Alice, and Douglas join the main games. Plus now we have Red Team and Blue Team together. If the game doesn’t make a Red va Blue joke with that somewhere I’ll be sad.
