Since announcing the MMC I wait for this games. At Amazon, I pre-ordered it and counted the days until I can file and install the disc in the Xbox One.
Then the day came.
The postman handed me the package and I hold the envelope together disk in hand.
Inserted and installed in the drive the X1. I have a download speed of 50 Mbps. 50! That's 5 times as fast as that of a "normal consumer".
Nevertheless, the installation including Day-1 Update to the 12 Hours has taken. What shoud that? Okay, there are 4 different games ... But anyway. 12 Hours? Where the update has taken alone 8 hours! How will this look like for the players with a slower Internet connection?
I, after some tilt, a pot of coffee and some movies in PayTV later, sat down again to the console because the sound was heard that everything was done and ready to play
Directly called a friend, the game has also been concerned to play with him from part 1 to 4 on Koop everything through.
As it turned out, it did not work well. Already in the first cutscene, the game hung up.
Retrying: cutscene jerky, but then ran it through. 5 seconds walking around: game freezes.
Try again: This time Halo 2 - Cutscene: game freezes.
Retrying: Hälo 2 - run 5 minutes. First shot is fired: game freezes.
Retrying: Halo 3 - From the outside capsule, and the "Umschau tutorial" concluded: game freezes.
Retrying: Halo 3 - met with the first enemy. I was hit: connect to my teammates was interrupted.
Retrying: Halo 4 - First Cutscene: game freezes.
Retrying: Halo 2 - Multiplayer (which was the only one to play in the first week COULD !!!): After less than a minute waiting time in the multiplayer lobby: We both got kicked out.
Retrying: Halo 2 - Multiplayer. Finally gepawnt on the map. 1 minutes: game freezes.
Then the game thrown in the corner and GTA5 gambled.
After two weeks, I have inserted the game again. 20 GB update.
Once again the same experiments, as already written above, tried.
Again, the same problems as already written above occurred.
The only thing one could ever justify even a star:
Halo 5 and Halo Beta Channel.
The series can do, but is it really exciting. Since les I prefer the comics by Halo.
While the Halo Beta 5 needs until the game session is ready to play (4 vs 4 - Game does not start until 8 players are really in a lobby).
So an unfinished game. It still works the front and back nothing.
Halo 4: Spartan Ops is indeed reasonably cooperatively playable but 1080p / 60fps look different.
The campaign can also play in single player, but you should definitely avoid to activate the skulls, as they also lead to a crash. And even so, I never, absolutely NEVER 60FPS. And the graphics are not provided in 1080p or with a good anti-aliasing. The edges look terrible and glitter. Details There is not admired because everything looks muddy.
Okay, you can argue that Halo 1 to Halo 3 another studio (bungee) has been sitting. But even Halo 4, which indeed comes from 343, the same problems exist.
Performance can not sugarcoat it. It jerky, as if you want to send the player through the video game hell.
But what indeed is even more ridiculous: you can change the graph by pressing a button in Halo 1 and Halo 2. So by "Patched up graphics" the Xbox 360 (Halo 1) or Xbox One (Halo 2) to the "original graphic" the first Xbox.
And the original, and actually worse graphics has even more performance problems than bolstered.
What Microsoft has come up there, is really a bad joke.
It is still ODST if I am not mistaken, free happen.
So you have almost certainly next to Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo 4 Spartan Ops still a sixth part, which does not work in the approach. Although I do not paint the devil on the wall, but, for whatever reason I do not make me hope that a game still to come, which is to run better if the original title on the MMC not even run properly?
But I also have to thank a little Microsoft.
Microsoft has opened with the release of the Master Chief Collection my eyes.
The MCC has taught me to buy no longer a game for release day or pre-order. So I may save a little money and in the future a few gray hairs, I got furious at the MCC.
