Frankly I think one full anniversary edition is better than a collection of games simply "remastered" (aka ported) in 1080p 60fps. Like ya Halo MCC was great, but aside from Halo 4, the other games simply paled in comparison after playing the fully reworked Halo 2. Also it was quite clear that such a large collection came with tons and tons of issues, which took away from the enjoyment of the overall package. It took months and months to make it serviceable. Now idk how long exactly they worked on it, but I do know that Black Tusk and MS haven't exactly had the Gears IP for all that long yet, and that their primary focus is a new game.....so do I have a whole lot of faith an MCC type collection would turn out much better here? No. No I don't.

So if they can instead give me one completely functioning, fully redone anniversary game by summer for $30-40, I'll be more than happy with that.

My thoughts exactly. 



I'm absent three days and this thread has less than 500 new messages? For shame. :P

Agreed.

MCC spoiled some of us in the sense we expect more, but at the same time the launch was horrendous.  The main question on my mind is, will they update the net code in GoW?  The reason i say that is because it was an incredibly laggy game xD   THen there was also host advantage and public games where you pick servers (host room).  Wonder if they will update all that or just leave it

I'm always wondering what's the worst MS does with Xbox in Europe (except UK), that they think they don't need to have lower prices or that they let Sony have almost exclusive marketing on TV. At least the price could change a little bit now.
