"I'm so -blam!-ing sad right now!!!" A Brief Rant About Halo: the Master Chief Collection
I know some B.netters (I'm talking about you, BannedLemon) are getting tired of these threads, but I really need to point out a difficulty I've been having lately. So let's begin...
I am a huge Halo fan--
[spoiler]Halo 4 Multiplayer[/spoiler]
Ok, not a fan of [i]that[/i], but still huge. And when I heard rumors about there being a Master Chief Collection, all four games starring the Chief shipping on a single disc, I thought to myself, [i]There is no way in a thousand hells that 343i would have the capability to develop four games on one disc[/i]. When E3 came around and the Halo panel started, I was super psyched out of my mind when I saw a title that said Halo: the Master Chief Collection. #OMGMASTERCHIEFCOLLECTIONGOTYCODFANBOYSGETREKTADVANCEDWARFAREWILLBE-blam!-COMPAREDTOTHEGREATNESSTHATIS-- *ahem* Then I saw a caption that read
[quote]ONLY ON XBOX ONE[/quote]
And that is where my anger comes in. First of all, I understand it being for graphical reasons that they wouldn't give it to us on the 360. But at the very least, 343i should have given the 360 a remastered version of Halo 2 with campaign, multiplayer, and that being it. I know they want to move on, but they shouldn't have to leave us in the dust this early in the Xboner's launch window. And before somebody says something like, "LOL look at the last-gen-fag cry because he's too cheap to buy a newer console," I would like to point out that I am waiting for Microsoft to lower the price of the Xboner (which they have already done, but I need it to be a little lower) and to work out any bugs that currently plague the system, if there are. Another reason for this is because the 360 still has good hardware, as well as support from lots of gaming companies (Hell, the last-gen consoles were the only ones to get The Stick of Truth).
So there is my pointless rant and reasoning of why I can't get the MCC. Have a good day and move on with your lives.

Consider this: the MCC wasn't released to please Halo fans — the MCC was released to sell Xbox Ones. Xbox and Halo have gone hand-in-hand since the platform's inception. As things stand right now, the only Halo game the Xbox One can play is that undercooked Spartan Assault game. Halo 5 won't come out for a long time, so Microsoft is releasing the MCC specifically with the goal (I think) of padding out the offering of Xbox One games as well as Halo titles on the Xbox One. As for Xbox 360, the only things in the MCC that aren't already available to you are a re-make of Halo 2 with the online multiplayer, and online multiplayer for Halo 1. Halo Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4 are already available for the Xbox 360, and you can play your old Xbox Halo 2 disc on the Xbox 360. Plus, in addition to all the work of coding 343i would have to do for Halo 2, the whole collection would have to be released on multiple discs anyway because the Xbox 360 doesn't use Blu-ray like the Xbox One does. It's simply a matter of too much work for too little payoff.
