Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

I got the message at 2AM. Pleased, but clearly I need to change the notification settings for the Smartglass app on my new phone.
That is a really low price for a lot of DLC content. That should shut up those who didn't qualify for the free bonus. It won't, but it should.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

Looks like my message came in at 1 AM. So much for rumor and internet bitching

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

Got mine too (on time this time ). $5 for everyone else isn't bad either. I'll easily pay that for Reach.

Great, I'll rebuy for $4.99

Yeah it did. Started downloading it at 8 AM. Checked back in at 9 AM, it was only at 13%.

On a side note, now with ODST, the MCC now takes up a whopping 70GB of storage space.

I would gladly pay $4.99 for Reach. Throw in Wars and you got another $4.99 from me.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

...Bungie's hidden Destiny Easter egg has been removed. For comparisons sake, here's a look at the tease from the original release:

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

That's probably due to legal issues since it's a different company releasing the game now.

It was worth a try.

My son just got an X1 and he was pumped when he saw that ODST was coming. He wanted to buy it today but doesn't have any points (and it may be awhile till he gets some more since he is out of dough.

Has there been any mention of Reach coming as well?

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

For those who don't have the disc, Halo: MCC currently $17.62 at Target. However, there are some steps and its definitely YMMV.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

The coupon is in the Target Cartwheel app. They need to scan your barcode from the cartwheel app when you check out. That thread adds a price match which technically Target doesn't need to honor.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

I hope that this will come on PC soon, without any bugs.
I never played any Halo game before, and I want to play all of them so badly.
But I want to play remastered versions.
Waiting forever.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

Well you better get used to the idea that you're gong to playing some old games that come off somewhat hokey today. They're good but the FPS has evolved a lot since. I'm game for the collection cuz I've grown w/ the franchise.

My wifi speed is horrible, but darn if my wired speed doesn't rock. ODST downloaded in just a minute or three.

Re: HALO: The Master Chief collection

So there are some people saying there is a problem with achievements on ODST. Just burn the game down at this point. I haven't been this disappointed in a game since the NES days.
