They did give away a copy of Halo: Reach with Games with Gold at one point.
Halo Wars 2 is a solid title as well, not as refined as the original Halo Wars, but easily more fleshed out.
Sadly the Multiplayer component lacks population and is thus useless to me. (For both Halo Wars 1 and 2.)

I believe I got rid of my 360 before GWG even began in earnest, which is what made me confused! My current theory is that my brother logged onto his account on the 360 I'd given him, got Reach, and gameshared immediately in case I'd ever get an Xbox again. A smart man!

You could have gotten the games via the Xbox live website? :P
It's what I do every time Games with Gold games come out, then after 6+ months I let all the games in que download.

Of all the Halo games I’ve only played 5 and I was really disappointed by this game. Playing halo 5 makes me think why the series is so popular and considered one of the major gaming franchises ever. Though reading that the majority Halo fans feel the same way about halo 5 campaign I’ve decided to give the franchise another chance. I’ve bought halo 3, ODST and 4 and plan on playing them at some point this year. I also hope that Microsoft will add halo 1 and 2 to B/C so I can play them as well. |
I think they tried to emulate Halo 2 far to closely with Halo 5.
Having the campaign end on a cliff hanger... Having the campaign jump between different characters... Those were some valid criticisms that were held against Halo 2's campaign back in the day, so it was surprising to see those mistakes made again... Especially after how solid Halo 4's campaign was.
Halo 3 is probably my favorite game in the franchise, spent hundreds of hours playing that title, loved every 30fps, sub 720P, poor frame-pacing, laggy-as-shite moment.

Huh why? Halo MCC has all of them included and costs like $10. (except for ODST, which costs extra)
|
1) I prefer to buy games at retail and MCC is 2 times more expensive for me than 3+4+ODST (I bought them used).
2) I've heard that MCC is a broken mess which wasn't fixed even now so I think that playing multiplayer on this one will be pretty difficult.
3) I want to see Halo 3 4K improvements when I upgrade to X.

The Xbox 360 Enhanced version of Halo 3 is the best version to play on Xbox currently.
Microsoft/343i have made a renewed commitment to patching and fixing the Master Chief Collection and making an Xbox One X enhanced version of the game... So when that finally happens, that will become the best version of Halo 3, mostly because 60fps.

I agree. I thought 5 was a solid game. It's just that the expectations for Halo are so high, they're nearly impossible to meet.
|
Halo 5 was an average game, but an average Halo game is still a solid title... We just expect more.
We do have to give praise where praise is due... And 343i has done a good job supporting Halo 5 over the long term. - I just wish allot of the patched-in-content was there on launch.

I didn't find the microtransactions in Warzone to be a big deal. I never paid for anything, and I had more boosts than I needed.

Reqs could use a tweak but not be removed. They should rather be implemented in more games the way Halo 5 does it.
|
Remove them. Just charge more for the game on launch.
I feel Halo lost something when they removed weapons, power ups and vehicles from the map, which required strategy to obtain and control... And moved it to a micro-transaction/loot box model. In short... And in my opinion... Req packs reqed the game.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure they won't drop the REQ packs since it generated a lot of revenue for MS/343, but I could be wrong. Let's wait for what E3 has to offer for us regarding this game.

Money talks and all that. :(
Hopefully the EA debacle has made them think twice.
