Just cancelled my MCC pre-order.

I was kind of on the fence about buying it anyway because I own all 4 games on Xbox/X360 and I didn't really see the point of spending £40 on something I already have. The metascore (88) sealed the deal for me though - it's clear there's a few issues when a remastered collection of 4 games with an average metascore of over 90 does lower than that...also the fact that Nightfall sucks means that there's basically no added value to this for me anymore so I'll just stick with the Xbox/X360 versions.

Anyone else do this after seeing the reviews and finding out Nightfall sucks?



Not sure how you can judge a game on its meta score. 88 is consider very high for a next gen game. If 88 doesnt statisfy you then im pretty sure you wouldnt own any game because theres been only acouple games with higher scores. Also remasters dont please everyone. Halo MCC on most of the importent review sites are giving it 10s, mid 9s and 9s which is good enough for me. I couldnt care less what other sites say, some sites rate poorly just for fame. Ill be buying this game anyway even if it had a 70s meta score.

Keeping my Pre-order.
I bought my Xbox 360 and Xbox One for Halo, so I will get *every* halo and god damn bloody enjoy it, whether they're good releases or not!


It's like you're your own, overly-demanding father lol.



For my first trick, behold as I ruse people into believing Metacritic holds any sort of objective merit :^)

Did you wait for the entire game to be installed? Cause if you haven't , then it will explain the black screen. you have to wait till at least more then 50% of the game installed first before playing it

The game is 100% installed. not just Halo 4, but the ENTIRE game.

Wouldnt even let me exit to the menu, i had to quit the game and reload it, then play through a fresh campaign to get past the issue.
On the second attempt the entire HUD dissapeared, and only came back after i quit to menu and loaded the level again.

Buggy, very buggy xD

oh I though you can emulate halo 4 and 3 on PC, and isn't Halo and Halo 2 already on PC??? and make mode it to 4k resolution or run on 240 fps

Never heard that problem from anywhere so I'm gonna assume you turned on the blind skull and started playing

To do that I'd have to have got one first.

And as you can see, I have 0.

"You do not find Skulls in Halo 4, instead they are always available to toggle on and off in the main menu."

And you showing me a loading screen says nothing.

Edit: Not saying you're lying, I just need better proof than that vid.
