I used to love Halo until Call of Duty came out...


I gout used to aiming down the sights and its weird for me to go back, does anybody know if they added that in?
Destiny is pretty much what Halo would've probably turned into had they added ADS.

Have the matchmaking changes that 343 posted a few hours ago been discussed?

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been running our final checks on Matchmaking and each of our launch playlists, and are excited to share the final lineup and a breakdown of these playlists. The launch playlist lineup has received slight modifications from the lineup that was announced over at IGN last month. These changes are as follows:

The Team Hardcore playlist will launch only with Halo 2 Classic tournament-approved game types. Behind the scenes, we’re working to integrate Halo 3’s custom map variant files into the playlist, and they aren’t quite ready just yet. As custom map layouts are extremely important to this playlist and community, we’ll be adding the Halo 3 game types into the list when they can be fully integrated, tested, and brought in.

We are holding on introducing the dedicated Halo: CE playlist. Up until this very day, we’ve been making (and are continuing to make) investments to ensure that Halo: CE’s online/network performance is the best it can be within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and we’re committed to making additional investments to make this happen. The current Halo: CE experience will be playable in custom games, as well as the Team Slayer and Big Team Battle playlists, but we are holding on the dedicated playlist until we are able to provide the best experience possible. Lastly, due to your feedback over the past few weeks, we’ll be moving the Halo: CE playlist to 2v2 when it launches.

It is also worth noting here that as with all titles in The Master Chief Collection, we are closely monitoring title-specific feedback. For launch, we’ve made investments to Halo: CE to improve general gameplay performance, as well as updated community-requested issues such as the Sniper Rifle reticle size, and more. As stated above, we’re continuing to make updates that will increase the quality of the experience, and we thank you for your patience.

Below, you’ll find the launch playlist lineup for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, with a breakdown of which maps and game types will be available within each.

We'll see you online in just a few days, and are looking forward to hearing your feedback on playlists, map and game type selection, and more, as we'll be updating Matchmaking based on player trends and community feedback - leave us your thoughts in the discuss link below.

Sucks that CE won't have a dedicated playlist at launch but at the same time it's a good sign that 343 is listening to the CE community and is wanting the CE playlist and CE matchmaking to be the absolute best it can be for CE's Xbox Live debut

yea I forgot to post ...got distracted by the tourney....but they made some great changes with the playlists and i'm upset about ce not getting a day 1...but they made up for it by scrapping the 4v4 and making it a 2v2 when its ready...

removing halo 3 from team hardcore on launch is a good move too...
