Here's the earliest screenshot of Halo, back when it was being made in the late 90s as a Macintosh exclusive

i never use laser/energy/plasma weapons in any shooter games if i have an option because bullets are cooler

Please refer to the Advanced Warfare section of the CoD thread to know why this is wrong.

It sucks that most of the MCC crowd was driven away by all those matchmaking technical issues because it really is one of the best game remasters I've seen.

Confession: When I was a kid I would almost always replace the pistol in Halo CE with something else ASAP, so I actually had no idea until today that you could one shot hunters with it.

I've only played MP in 5 because I didn't want to do SP until after I play through the collection. I've enjoyed what I've played so far even though some aspects are decidedly not Halo and I don't care for them as much.

Replaying ODST and this might be my favorite Halo game. It's amazing how good it is considering it was just a side project for Bungie during Reach's early production... It really sucks that the XBO version took out the co op Firefight mode though.

It's what Halo 2 should have been.

I'm too blinded by nostalgia to dislike Halo 2... The only thing about it that hasn't aged so well imho is how there's something like 5 or 6 segments where you're fighting off waves of enemies on a slow moving gondola/elevator, which is especially odd considering how there aren't any sections in Halo 1 or 3 where you do that.

You fight guys in hallways and go up elevators, but not both at once.

Hey, remember that part in Halo where they were gonna blow up the galaxy with Halo but then they didn't blow up the galaxy with Halo?

Or that part in halo 2 where they were going to blow up the galaxy with halo, but then they didn't?

Or that part in halo 3 where they were going to blow up the galaxy with halo, but then they blew up that other thing with it instead?

I remember all of these and they were loving awesome!

Just beat Reach again for the first time since it came out... Bungie's message at the end of the game, with the intro of Halo CE going on in the background, really brings home the feels.

They should put the Master Chief Collection on PC so I can play all these games.

They've brought a lot of 'Xbox One exclusives' to the PC so I have some hope, but then again they never brought the Gears of War trilogy to PC...

I don't know. There is no forge map browser in Halo 5, you can only download custom maps from people in your friends/recent players which IMO is even worse than no splitscreen
