Halo Master Chief Collection

Cool looking mod.

 

How is the Audio?

 

audio on MCC CE is actually fine, the issue seems to mainly with reach having used a weird sample rate.

 

I'm looking forward to playing this collection when it gets out! Never played the Halo games (as the ports were so so, and some games never made it to PC anyway).

 

One thing I really like about Halo:CEA is the fact you can flick between the original visuals and the anniversary upgrade visuals by pressing TAB, really shows how much work went into upgrading the visuals.

 

Have they changed the lead totally in this now? Sometimes it's ok and others can't hit a bran door.
And since when did people become so good, 3sk all the time - it's like playing Norther all over again. Mind you, the ar is so overpowered I'm thinking there is a good deal of aim assist for controllers in this :/

 

This is a comment from reddit regarding the new development update that I thought was really interesting.

thought as much, there was a lot of oomf missing from weapon sounds and the environment didn't sound right.

 

Yeah... 343 said during a dev blog that because of how they were originally done, they were having to re-encode the sounds for Reach on PC and Xbox One.
That's... not really... new... news.

 

I knew they had to re-encode but I did not know what was mentioned in the comment on reddit regarding it, so to me it is new information.

 

Sorry, I'm just annoyed it still hasn't been fixed.
I know it's going to take a long time to properly re-encode all the audio data for Reach. But... still.

 

That's why I prefer the oldschool way of doing gunsounds, just a high-quality .wav file that you can easily replace yourself. Sound modding was so easy in games like Half-Life, Doom, Quake and so on.
These days you have these complicated encoding programs that turn the quality to crap. First person gun sounds should be high priority and never compressed because you hear them often and they are close to the player.

 

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is out on Steam! Check your Master Chief Collection DLC! <3

 

Extremely disappointed. Absolutely no effort was put into this. The graphics are exactly like the 360 version..nothing updated. Even the campaign is limited to two players. Why release Reach with a 4 player campaign and then expect to follow up with just a 2 player campaign mode. How did this even pass the flights? Absolute waste of 6.5GB of disk space.

 

They never said they were updating the visuals.
They said they were bringing the MCC to PC, never once said or even hinted that they would be updating visuals for PC/Xbox One.

 

Hmm are you sure? I'm just starting the update for this and it's 25+ GB.

 

The updated part is that now it's available on PC.

 

The update directly from steam...who knows what it is. The game is not playable till you download 6.5GB from inside game itself.

They have not even finished fixing Reach...what happened to not releasing till it is ready? They never hinted at updating the visuals...then why even bother with "listening" to the community by adding useless more customization options for the Spartans. Tie everything to a single interface to only allow those who bought Reach as well to be the only ones with access to Swat. Those that only purchased CE do not have access to it (yet?). So yes it is a waste of disc space...novelty pc release.
