I've got too many bad memories of the noob combo from Halo 2. I voted for Halo 4 mainly because you can still wreck shop if your team is garbage due to the load outs unlike previous games. Can't remember if Halo reach had load outs but I liked that game competitively too.

halo ce, halo 2 then halo 3....in terms of the best games..and i'm not just saying this just to say it. I played the fukk out of h3 during it's glory years....and i'm not talking about rocket race or social slayer....90% of my time was spent playing the mlg playlist or the gametypes in custom games...competitive skill shyt...

the netcode was trash
the BR was trash when compared to the halo 2 version. The bulet spread and range was fukked up by bungie
The weapon sandbox was trash. The guns were either too weak or designed poorly, outside of the sniper which functioned properly and was the most skillful weapon in the game.
the maps were the best part of the game.
the rank system and matchmaking was incredible
the game was fun, but looking back at it or playing it now....trash in terms of best to worst (occupied by halo 4/5)

I’m kinda shocked nobody has really commented on the new update. Anyone still chasing achievements in this game? What’s the most anyone has? I’ve reached 570 of them for 5395 points.

Man if we get 4 vs 4 in halo 1 as well and halo 2 big team battle :wow:
We got the first and btb in halo 3 :wow:

Anybody doing The Yappening event on the MCC? Dropped this week. That Halo 2 yappening playlist is silly but in a good way.

the red banshee looks:gladbron:

also, for the xbox people, to do the fov slider, its capped at 60 fps, but you can get around it by setting your fov on 60Hz settings, and then setting the game to 120Hz after

ANVIL SEASON BATTLE PASS CONTENTS
To help us dive into the nitty-gritty, we thought we’d shake things up a bit and drop a brief Season 5 Seasonal Sitrep. I tried to channel my inner Frankie with the shaved head and all, and this was my first video of this nature ever, so hopefully y’all enjoy!

With Season 5, “Anvil”, we are bringing online over 100 total items for player customization across a 100 tier (and, entirely free) Season Pass where you use Season Points to unlock each tier. This season will include the following types of content:

  • All New Armors for Halo 3 & Halo: Reach, including the long–lost GRD.
  • New Weapon Skins for Halo 3 for your Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle, Magnum, and more.
  • And a slew of new Nameplates to customize your online persona.
To acquire and unlock the 100 tiers for Anvil, you will need to obtain Season Points just like in previous seasons. For newcomers, Season Points can be earned by ranking up your Global Rank for the first 100 Tiers in MCC or by completing daily, weekly, and some of the seasonal challenges.

It’s worth noting, you do not have to unlock these immediately. Season Points are retained indefinitely and can be used on any and all previous seasons interchangeably.

It’s also worth noting that there is some lore behind the new armors coming to MCC! My good friend Jeff Easterling (or as many know him, GrimBrotherOne) has a couple of Canon Fodder blogs, Pen Umbra and Armor Online which share all of the fun and unique stories behind each piece. Be sure to check them out if you are interested in learning more about some of Season 5’s unlocks!



Halo: The Master Chief Collection - GRD IS HERE: MCC SEASON 5 NOW LIVE
I read some was having trouble with the Because You Begged challenge. I did Reach Pillar of Autumn on legendary n got it in 3 mins of tryin.
Just got done with Release the Geese too. it was easier than I thought it would be. have to do mission from the beginning to get the unlock. I missed out on some timed skins(halo 4 blood spray rifle skin) so it felt good to knock these out quick n not have to worry about it.
