My current thoughts on MCC

Hey, all. So, after about a week and half, I've come to a few conclusions about this collection, namely:

--The campaign rocks and is more or less solid. I know people have had some glitches with it, but it seems to be the least likely part to spaz out. Feels good, man.

--Customization being restricted to armor sets doesn't bother me in the end. My knee-jerk was to cry foul, but then I thought about how cluttered a UI would have to be to accommodate all those armor pieces. I wouldn't mind them adding it in later, but I can understand 343i's initial reluctance.

--Multiplayer. We all hated how it wasn't up to snuff. For the first week, I was waiting 15+ minutes for a match, if I even got one. But things have gotten better, whether you consider it "enough" or not. On Thursday, my wait time dropped down to 5-10 minutes. Yesterday, I was waiting no more than 2 minutes between games. For me, that's "good enough." During the Halo 3 days, it usually took longer than that. So, I'm happy. The whole collection is functional, for me at least. I know some of you won't be happy until it's 100% smooth and buttery--and I agree that this never should have happened in the first place. That said, we've got the campaigns and matchmaking and they work, more often than not. Some said this day would never come. :P

Now, what I REALLY would like is a Halo 1 playlist, damn it! Every time I'm in BTB and something like Gephyrophobia comes up for the vote, everyone picks H2A. WHAT! When the kiddies do see the light of reason and pick a HCE game, I'm just giggling. Here you have these COD babbies who don't know the maps and are coming at me with ARs a-blazin', while I'm scooping up all the powerups and raining deadly magnum fire on their ignorant little heads. It feels good to wreck. I know it'll never last, as the children will learn quickly, but for the moment it is the purest manifestation of bliss. TL;DR, 343i, please give me a Halo 1 playlist so I can feel like a god for just a little longer.

Peace.
