Congrats, though I'm probably not going to pick up the collection since my favorite Halo game wasn't even included.


Is it Reach or Halo Wars kinda curious.  Not picking up the collection either but my younger brother will.  Might replay the single player for the second game again.  Not big into FPS never played any Halo game online and only beat the single player campaign of the first two and liked the second one a lot more.

Reach, it had my favorite campaign in the series. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Reach's campaign sucked balls IMO. Loved some of those maps. Halo 4's campaign actually stayed true to the books.

Well I might play it eventually have it available to play but don't consider it part of my backlog.  Also would like to play Wars one of these days even though play I RTS even less then FPS currently don't have the game but I kinda liked the demo.  Might buy the digital version one day when its super cheap.

I don't feel like reading all that... but I support your decision.

I got a X1 primarily for Halo and Gears. Halo Collection is now my most anticipated game this year.

Same impression I got, lol.

Guess OP needs to add an only on Xbox sign on his avatar now too?


It has been done. I mean, I do own a 360 anyway. I just needed a reason to get an XBO, and now I have one. As I always get every console anyway, my purchasing decisions are largely based on pragmatic reasons. I got a Wii U first because Nintendo. I got a PS4 before I got an XBO since it was less expensive, multiplats generally run better, it has more indies, and because Bungie is treating the PS4 as the lead system for Destiny (the alpha was fun). And I planned on getting an XBO eventually for Halo, and other MS exclusives to a lesser extent. I do like Gears, and I'm also glad Crackdown is getting a proper sequel (which Crackdown 2 was not; it was a reskin of the first game with new missions & enemies). Last generation I got a 360 first because of Halo, because multiplats generally ran better, and because it was less expensive than the PS3. Then I got a Wii because Nintendo. And while I don't technically own a PS3 of my own yet, my roommate/BFF has one and I mainly play exclusives on it (though I'm seriously backlogged and have missed a lot of titles, because I didn't have the money).

Awesome, noticed the avatar, lol!

Anyway, hope you enjoy Halo, I'll be joining the Xbox ownership when the inevitable slim model comes out.

I am very much looking forward to it!

I just bought the Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, loving it by the way, and now I'm going to be further broke due to the announcement of the Master Chief Collection and an Xbox One without the Kinect at a lower price. I was going to wait until Halo 5 was released next year to buy an XBO but now that has changed. Hopefully I can buy it with my taxes next year in February. I do own an Xbox 360 and PS3 at the moment so maybe I can sell those and the games I have and receive enough money to buy one later this year.

I'm super excited to have Halo 1-4 in one collection with all of the multiplayer maps and a HD remake of Halo 2. It's going to be a fun time playing all four campaigns as well. I can't wait!!!!

Yeah, that Halo Master Chief Collection is a great deal. Hope you will enjoy your purchase later this year!

P.S. I enjoy reading your posts! :3
