I am surprised the H5 beta is so early. I mean this December for a game not coming until holidays 2015 or does this mean H5 could be coming sooner? I was happy to hear them say "arena shooter" in regards to H5, but a little part of me died when I saw "new Spartan abilities" and then showing a Spartan doing some kind of groundpound. We'll see.
Now, the Master Chief Collection, if we can actually play H2 AND H3 multiplayer at 60fps on dedicated servers - I may not need H5...lol I really want more details. The presentation made it seem like multiplayer from H1, 2, 3 and 4 would be included - all maps. Playing how each game was delivered - none of this let's add AAs and Ordinance. Also, I think it was stated 6 maps from H2 would be "updated" with new graphics. Ascension was shown in the quick demo. This could be sweet.
Nov 11 Master Chief Collection.
Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4.
Custom playlists from all the games.
Includes exact Halo 2 multiplayer
This is going to make a ton of people happy
Halo 2 multiplayer 100 maps 1080p 60fps and looks incredible.
Did they mean 100 maps playable in the H2 remaster or are the maps confined to there specific game.
All maps on original engines with dedicated servers...crazy
I hope these are post patch original engines.
Halo 5 multiplayer Beta in December 2014

Halo Nightfall video series. Story leads into Halo 5.
Welp, I think that's about as good as we could have possibly asked for. Pretty amazing. all maps, 1080p 60fps 4000GS dedicated servers
Let the fun begin
That custom playlists sounds like the sweet spot to satisfy the most people.
The details of all of this should be quite interesting.
I'm impressed.
I hope all my friends have XB1 by Nov 11. I don't think I will have the time to turn on the 360 after that.
I may have one by the end of the month my 360 is dying out on me
all maps in their original engines, but you can bounce from one to the other.
I haven't heard them say MM yet but will replay again.
I forgot to emphasize the MC collection includes the entire remastered campaign saga.
Only 6 H2 maps completely revamped for XB1. The rest must be just ports only.
Yeah. I'm fine with that. And nice you can switch back and forth I think - or is that just campaign?
Seems like only Halo 2 campaign is remastered. The others must be ports?
I'm sure H3-H4 weren't changed other than 1080p 60fps.
H2 needed it. H1 was already remastered.
Yeah, it's HCEA, H2 A, HALO 3 and Halo 4. So ports of HCEA, 3 and 4.

Again, need moar details!
The H5 beta is multiplayer area only.
are the achievements going to be the same? I so don't want to do some of those again.
Only on disk. Weird.
