No cross-play.

That blows. I assume most of my friends are getting it on steam, but i have it free through the game pass.

That said, it doesn't seem to want to launch through the xbox app, anyone having similar problems?

E: Launching through the exe or whatever in my start menu worked.

Right. PC versions all play together. Xbox one crossplay is *probably* down the road.

Can you actually party up with friends on the different PC platforms? Like if I boot up from Steam can I invite friends who have it on the Windows Store?

I'm pretty sure the Steam exe. will just open up the Microsoft launcher so everyone gets thrown into the same platform anyway.

Welp, the game freezes at the menu screen every time for me. Might have something to do with Xbox Live since it seems to happen right after it logs me in.

Required by his programming!
isn't literally only reach available right now? probably not possible to answer a lot of the questions about other games until they are completed, they have ultrawide support for reach at least and there's a number of options in the graphical options that i saw that could change how it looks in a pretty fundamental sense.

i only logged on for a second before running to a work meeting though so i might have missed something.

Halo 4 is a good looking game, but Halo 3 is pretty ugly. That said, Halo 3 is vastly superior to play either way. In which case just play Halo Reach on PC.

Reach was the last Halo game Bungie made and last I checked universally considered to be the best campaign of the series.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

The plan for PC halo collection is to release the games every few months (I think) in chronological order, so Halo 1 next, then 2, etc.

Also how dare you, Halo 1 looks amazing for its time.

anyone else getting a weird audio mix? ingame sfx are really quiet but dialog and music is really loud and the volume sliders aren't doing anything.

Yeah, same thing was happening to me as well. Gun sounds were really muted while menu sound effects were normal.

Also, give me dialogue subtitles in gameplay too :argh:

Original Halo 1 in 4K/60fps looks amazing, but the remaster is super ugly where all of the colors bleed together and are a mess.

Ok Halo Reach is very bad on PC. Sound mastering is making my ears bleed and the entire setup comes as a cheap CoD in space knock-off with a campaingn glued on for franchise sake.

i found bug reports for the sound thing from months ago :goatsecx:

quote:

Audio Issues

To update Halo: Reach for Xbox One and PC required entirely changing the encoding for the game’s audio which has resulted in it sounding different from the original release. We are aware that areas of the title don’t sound like what you or we ideally want them to. It will take some time to work through solutions to improve the overall experience for audio and that work is already underway. When it is ready, we will flight to test the fixes we can make prior to updating the title. We also plan to go into more detail on our Reach audio journey in a later blog.

We did recently fix an issue with dynamic audio that we also saw some of the community report, this fix will be in for launch and has been reported to be improved in our Ring 1/2 flights.

Didn't have any issues at all with the closed beta, but the final release appears to be 100% broken. The game won't even start for me.

So if you hit Win and type in Halo and launch it from the Halo: The Master Chief Collection app it should run fine.

Here's to the new us.
Has the AI for driving Warthogs always been broken or is that new? Whenever I take the turret and let the AI drive, 90% of the time they just spaz out in circles before stopping entirely and forcing me to drive. The remaining 10% they slowly head towards the objective in a jerky path, regularly stopping, briefly driving off the road, driving back on the road, etc.

I can get it to launch through this method, it gets to main menu and then just locks up and I can't do anything.
