  • More per-wave customization options for ODST Firefight (Including the Flood?)
  • Various new features for the Custom Game Browser, including support for Halo 1 and 3.
  • An alternate HUD for Halo 1, recreating the original Xbox HUD in 4k quality.
  • Viewmodel offset options for all games.
  • New cosmetic tat of all kinds for Halo 3, and new helmets for Halo Reach.
  • "All new Campaign collectables" in Halo 3, whatever that means.
  • The ability to use weapon and vehicle skins in Halo 3 Campaign.
  • File Share on PC! Along with file restrictions and reporting.
  • Player Reporting added to additional areas, including post-game scoreboards.
  • More accessibility customization re: subtitles and color blindness.

I'm guessing a mod or the OP thought we didn't need multiple Halo threads. Probably right honestly

LOL, managed to finally get a preorder in on a XSX, and it turns out it was the Halo edition.
I guess I will look at it in November and think back to when Halo was better...

Does the Infinite XSX have anything unique other than the colors? I had the Reach 360 and it made Halo noises when you opened the drive or hit the power button.

Whatever else about 343 and MCC (lmao), it is very cool that they have scraped as much as humanly possible to throw at us for the collection, including incomplete beta garbage. Too bad about the state of it at launch and even now where half the challenges and harder cheevos are impossibly bugged, but still, it's awesome that they're grabbing stuff from Halo Online and that one arcade game to slam into things.

Apparently Halo 5 will never make it over though because both games are incredibly unstable as it is (obviously, in MCC's case), and 5 would just put MCC down for the count lmao

Currently waiting for any other editions other than the standard edition for Infinite. I've seen Target and Best Buy sell "Collector's Edition" packages that come with a steelbook. There's gotta be something bigger and better than that.

Were there big Collector's Editions for 4 or 5? I remember the Helmet versions of 3 being around in stores for loving ever. They had the statue package for Reach but I think they made way fewer of those because of the Helmet thing.

Halo 4 had a steelbook with an exclusive AR skin and helmet skin. Halo 5 had a big statue with Chief and Locke.

I'm a sucker for Steelbooks. I used to collect games with the metal cases.

Though it looks like Infinite may be digital for me, I think I'll be sticking with PC only. I really want the pre-order skin though, the blue/white one.

I really like the idea of mixing things up and adding something fresh to these old games, but yeah I don't see myself using any of these. I've always thought the best Halo armour is still from the first game, and the farther they get from "a tank and a spacesuit had a baby and now a man wears the baby" the less interesting the designs become.
