Anyone else picking this one up tomorrow? I'm surprised this hasn't been talked about more. It's basically the whole reason I picked up an X1 in the first place.

At first I was going to wait.... then I watched the remaking Halo documentary last night on Xbox video. That was so good. I pre-ordered this morning.
Apparently they're having some pretty serious matchmaking issues at launch. So far, I haven't managed to get into a game yet. Hopefully they get it all sorted out as the day goes on.
So where's all that "cloud" power? I thought Live was supposed to be infallible.
I've never been a huge halo guy, mainly because I hate the dumb shields in MP and having to shoot someone 12 times before they die, but my friends eat it up. What is this? Is it a new game or remastered old games? Can someone please clarify.
Easily my favorite FPS franchise, but I don't have Xbox One, yet.

Do it Huff! Honestly, I never consider one game a reason to buy a system but if anyone is interested in an Xbox One now would be the time to grab one. The price is super low.
Give me the Halo gameplay over any other FPS right now. JMO. It is a remaster off Halo 1,2,3 and 4. 1080p 60fps. They re-did the graphics and all the sounds. I am sure there are other things but that is what came to the top of my head.
That's exactly why I like it. It's not about who saw who first and got the jump on the guy, it's more about who has the best combat skills. It also gives a satisfactory reason as to why it takes 12 shots to kill a guy. I hate the games where it's like that just cause, with no explanation.
Picked mine up yesterday and installed it but didn't get a chance to play it. For some odd reason when I attempted to install the disk, it locked my system up and I couldn't unlock it! I finally had to just wipe my hard drive completely and re-install everything. It took quite a while so I just ended up playing Destiny on PS4 while my system was re-updating. A minor headache but now everything is running fine. I did look at the menu system which I have to say is quite impressive. I'll get on and play tonight.
I do have one minor quibble with this game. I'm not usually someone who cares about packaging but considering this is Halo, the Xbox's flagship title, and this is the Masterchief Collection which will attempt to re-introduce the franchise to a new generation of gamers. I was somewhat disappointed with the packaging of this game. To me, this should have received the royal treatment and it just didn't. You get the disk and a jewel case. Very very understated packaging for such a huge title. I would have liked to have seen a nice digibook or at least a cool holographic slip cover or something.
Aside from GTA, which still had the huge foldout map of the city in last year's release, the ship seems to have sailed on anything more than the disc coming with games these days.
