[URL]http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/16/halo-the-master-chief-collection/[/URL] [quote]Master Chief is getting a facelift with an HD collection of his exploits. We've learned that[I]Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 [/I]and[I] Halo 4 [/I]are being collected in a Master Chief-focused HD remaster coming from Microsoft. Our sources say that the set will zero in on[I]Halo[/I]'s most famous soldier to refresh audience's memories ahead of [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/Xbox-One-halo-title-announced/"][I]Halo 5[/I]'s release[/URL], so curiosities like [I]Halo 3: ODST [/I]and [I]Halo: Reach[/I] likely won't be a part of the package. The game's developer is unknown at this point, but considering that Saber Interactive handled[I][URL="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/27/microsoft-confirms-3d-support-in-halo-ce-remake-for-xbox-360/"]Combat Evolved Anniversary[/URL] [/I]and is also working on an unannounced Xbox One project, the team is a likely suspect. Also unclear are plans for digital distribution, resolution and frame-rate (Microsoft bragged that that the next [I]Halo[/I] will run at a "blistering" 60fps), piecemeal releases, or if the games will surface on other platforms as well (PC, anyone?)[/quote] here's hoping
Make it for PC instead.

I'm still astonished that Microsoft hasn't made a Halo past 2 for the PC(Spartan Assault doesn't count fuck off)after the huge continuous demand for at minimum Halo 3 on the PC. Like holy shit, you've already given it away for free, just give me it on the PC.

Exclusivity is a bitch, but it makes total sense from the manufacturers point of view. [editline]edited[/editline] I'd be really interested to see what Naughty Dog could do with the Uncharted series on PC, it already looks fucking awesome on console, and they push the PS3 so hard as the series progresses. But I understand why they aren't releasing on PC, and I'm cool with that, the series (and other PS3 exclusives) totally make the console worth it.
I was a giant Halo nerd at some point, but I wouldn't purchase this despite it's platform. I do not think this series has the amount of power in the industry anymore to justify making this and future sequels.
I was immensely excited for this and it may have pushed me to buy an xbone. Then I saw they were excluding ODST and Reach, my two most favorite games of the halo series. Sorry but sale lost.
Halo cashgrab edition.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;44827765] If they aren't including ODST and Reach in this does that mean they'll just be left stranded on the 360? Because ODST was pretty great.[/QUOTE] Well it is called the "Master Chief Collection". Chief Wasn't in ODST, and was only in Reach as an Easter Egg.

Man, I really would kill for a PC release of this. I'm certainly not going to go out and buy a Xbox One for something like this, but I'll definitely pick it up if I every get one.
While I get the logic of bundling the main games from the series and remastering them for the new console, isn't Halo through to Halo 3 supposed to be a trilogy, with Halo 4 serving as the start to a new trilogy? Seems like it'd make more sense to bundle the first trilogy along with Reach and/or ODST than throw Halo 4 into the mix. Put all the games that relate to that continuity into one package for those who might be new to the series. Then again, that would make more sense if they had released Halo 4 as a launch title to the Xbox One and thus used the release of the new console as a point from which to start a new trilogy.
If this means a revival of Halo 1-3 multiplayer, I'm in.
It should be called the Cortana Collection, the Chief's still got two games

[QUOTE=booster;44828192]Halo cashgrab edition.[/QUOTE] Has been ever since 3 IMO I seriously don't know where or how they come up with more story for the franchise to keep going.
well, 3 on the xbone would be pretty neat, but i just sold mine for a ps4. shit
This is even more unlikely than them ever making a PC version. Definitely not happening.
They're more likely to wait and release it with Halo 5 in.
