A collection of casual console shooters for the casual audience. Halo was the beginning of the end of hardcore gaming. Shameful.

Halo 2 was unintentionally hardcore with the button combo glitches. Anyway, I fail to see how it was casual. It's very easy to pick up and play but it's also very difficult to master. When you get no radar, spawn with the same weapons/nades, have weapon/powerup pickups, balanced competitive maps/gametypes, a very good competitive ranking system then it's certainly not a casual game.

I love halo because it isn't hardcore. Learn the maps and pickups and you're set. Back in the day, after I had a long session on Socom or Counterstrike I turned on halo 2 to wind down and relax.

I would buy this if I hadn't spent so much time on the games on xbox and 360. A lot of people I know feel the same. It will be interesting to see if XB1 outsells PS4 with this collection in Nov or if people rather wait for halo 5.

That's a huge delay to avoid competition. Why not release in december and still get it out there for christmas?

Halo2 is lower res? How does that make sense if the sequels are 1080p

because it is running two engines at once, you can switch back and forth between the new and the classic graphics with a single button press on the fly (like you could on Halo CE on the 360)

You can only do that on part 1 and 2 in this collection I'm assuming?

Your title doesn't match up with what you posted. Fox News style.

You made this thread over an ugly $120 case?

Yup pvp is really good. Grinding the story to upgrade equipment? Not so good. I'm not a fan of grinding and repetitiveness, it reminds me of Diablo 3.

What doesn't make sense is that they opened a new studio for console development while shoving out sloppy PC ports. Why bother? It's almost like they are sabotaging their own release so they have an excuse not to port FF15.

Is this going to be a hackerfeast on consoles like Ghost was, especially on Playstation?

If not, I might be interested.

waaaa?

First I've heard of this. I know people hacked MW2 after it was pretty much dead anyways.

I tried out the game maxed out and was surprised at how mediocre it looked. The art and design is good, but it just isn't as pretty as I thought it would be considering how closed up the game is.

I was expecting to get the same feeling I got when Dead Space 1 came out last gen, but Alien is just dull as hell instead and doesn't have the "next gen" feel. I wouldn't be surprised if the console versions were just straight ports.
