Whoever did the audio mix on this should be fired.

1. Confusion
2. Realization
3. Annoyance

I have downloaded it and am enjoying it, just waiting for the massive amount of complaints and hate to hit on halo waypoint.

...why is everyone complaining? I kinda like the double audio, one on each side. Nice to hear Staten talking about Halo too. Nothing wrong with the port either.

The only problem is that I have to pay money because I missed the window by a week, disappointing not only me but all the rest of the people who waited to get the game because it was broken and still had to play a broken game until January or so.


Oh well.

Oy, they are actually charging for this?
Amazing, releasing a broken product, then promising to make it up to the players by remaking ODST, only to end up charging for it.

I thought this was going to be a free addition to the MCC game if you had it?

MCC is still broken as hell anyway.

Free if you suffered through the first 2 or so months of the game's release, not the other few months it remained broken afterwards.

Clearing it up.

1. I bought HALO MCC.

2. This included a fusion of: Halo 1 ce (remastered) Halo 2 (remastered) Halo 3 (left alone) and halo 4 (as woeful as it was)

3. Now the techies have decided to add another flavour to the mix in the form of the slightly contrevsial H3 ODST.

4. Having bought the entire game, suffering typical dev problems which no other game has put forth yet and I'd like to point out that no other game felt as cheaply made considering it was made to include legends in the VG world. (srsly 343 set the benchmark for worlds epic game fails)

I now have to pay for another addition? Which truth be told feels like a "Oh hey let's add this in too, we forgot earlier but I'm super cereal no one will ever notice. Plus we can make enough money to buy starbucks for every day of the week for the next year and a half!


It's a wonder 343I's development and publishing techniques aren't the industry standard.

Dude it's just 5 bucks. And it's just the crappy halo odst campaign anyway, so who cares?

>purchasing thing from 343i

I enjoyed the Halo 5 beta and will probably buy Halo 5 when it comes out

that was more directed toward the crying lumoria opinion-mongers in the thread, not you :)

You have issues.

We all have issues.

I am sorry, but 5 dollars is not a lot, for anyone. You could literally walk down the sidewalk and around your town and find change that would equal five dollars. Go to an arcade and check the change return slots. This is if you don't have a job or are not willing to spend your own money.

Before I get pushed into a tire shredder, I was not happy with the launch of MCC either, however they have to put a date on who gets ODST for free and who does not. I got over it and happily purchased it. It was definitely worth the 5 dollars for the upgrade from the normal ODST. Which I also pre-ordered and paid for, and it was worth it.

I wish I lived in your neighborhood.

no, you have issues.

and why would i bother delving into them when they're so apparent based on your history throughout this community. take it somewhere else

feel bad 'cause you wasted some denaros on some micro$hit merch? that really sucks :(((((
do us a favor: keep the blogging on twitter

I really don't care.

why don't I count as a lumoria opinion-monger? I worked on it!

It's cause you're not me Matt. Only I can be the crying Lumoria opinion-monger.

The amount of money required is not important, its the principle. Which is:

FFS 454i u fking fgts, sthap bein microcrust rim lickrs, plze.

LUMORIA IS THE GREATEST THING EVER AND THATS JUST LIKE, MY OPINION, MAN.

Meh, I'm happy with it, but that might just be because I got it for free.

Still wish they would've put in firefight though.

imo you'd probably do a worse job since you don't have any funding

Like crowdfunding would be able to buy the rights to Halo then actually produce a game up to standards

@Matt: I believe our Dutch friend wasn't completely serious about crowdfunding + fixing up the mess that 343i's Halo has become.

I feel as if halo 4 was more lore-oriented than previous games. I actually liked the campaign, however I never got into multiplayer as I started working on another game.

I still stand by my old statements that I feel 343 has handled the franchise better than Bungie, at least post h2.

I enjoy for the most part the stories they have to tell (Forerunner Saga being the one thing I immensely dislike), and while the MCC certainly has it's issues, it's no secret they had no choice when to release it or not. We all know that MCC was released when it was to push Xbox's and take the lead from Sony, and not because 343i thought they had an acceptable game.

As far as H4 goes, it has some solid gameplay once the "fluff" is removed, and is really a lot of fun in the MCC. It's not a perfect Halo game, but then again none of them really are as they all have some huge glaring problems (H1's massive repeat environments, H2's broken difficulties and poor variety in missions, H3's storyless and unambitious campaign, Reach's MP focused design in terms of sandbox and campaign missions). H4 for me at least is more enjoyable than H2 and Reach, but not quite on the same level as H1 and H3/ODST.

The 343 hate is unjustified imo, every Halo game that comes out has its band of haters and bashing. ODST is a nice add on for MCC for everyone who had to suffer through its problems, especially now that the game is finally looking like it's in a near fixed state. If you are in the 2 month window and got it for free... awesome. If not and you got it for $5... thats still pretty great as it is the largest piece of DLC for such a cheap price I have ever heard of. It's price is clearly a result of all the crap people had to go through and still do with the game.

You don't know that

That's not really an excuse in this day and age. They are a business corporation, for which you should have no pity. Charging for H3 ODST, which initially was only added to "make up" for their schortcomings, shows this once more. Some people chose to avoid the game entirely because they read the poor reviews, and now those are the ones who they are attempting to extract more cash from.

One could say that shows poor judgement, but alas that's not the case. As a business corporation they know that by now alot of people who haven't bought MCC, won't anymore. Therefore they simply wish to milk every last dollar from those who bought it already, masked under the devious plan of "rewarding early adopters".



I have had many interactions with the Dutch. I know the ways of their people.
They are a simple people, who enjoy driving their campers down our highways.
It is also common knowledge that they enjoy joking around about crowdfunding.

What should we expect when microsoft hired sphinxbio, and gang, to compile the MCC?

I didn't know you worked for 343i and knew the reasons for everything they did. Who's to say they weren't already working on an ODST port to coincide with the most likely chance that Buck is in Halo 5 on Locke's team? And then, as the game released and manifested into a broken mess, they decided they would make the DLC free for those who suffered the worst of it?

Yeah, I'm angry I got it a week after the cutoff date, I was one of the many who was waiting for the game to be not broken (to which it still was until February or so), but $5 is not the end of the world. Frankly I expected it to be $10, $5 is still alright. Should it have cost anything for anyone? Probably not, but it isn't the end of the world. In terms of claiming they are "milking every last drop," well...that's obvious. That's what businesses do, or else many might not exist or have a one-up on the competition.
