10 Most Jaw-Dropping Moments From The Major E3 Press Conferences

5. Halo: The Master Chief Collection's Limitless Value

On November 11th it'll finally be possible to play all 4 Halo games on one console, on one disc, for one price. That price is 60 US Dollars if the Amazon listing is to be believed. That is a jaw-dropping value made all the more mind-blowing by the work being done to the games to create an experience like no other. For starters, It completely remasters Halo 2 - re-doing the graphics for Xbox One, polishing up the cinematics, and adding in a bunch of extra-textual material to get newbies up to speed and refresh veteran fans on past events. Microsoft also promised that several of the multiplayer maps will be upgraded to truly show off the beefyness of the Xbox One's tech. Even better, for folks who can't quite get behind the endless complication of Call of Duty and Battlefield's online modes, it looks like Microsoft is focusing intently on making the online multiplayer aspects of the collection as easy to jump into as possible. So if there's a specific map in Halo 3 you want to play against your friends, you won't need to exit out of Halo 2 and jump into Halo 3 to do so. What this means is that the level of online content for this game will be staggering, especially since the game will include all the previous DLC map packs and the maps from Halo: Reach. Being able to play snipers on Valhalla on an Xbox One is something players have wanted since the Xbox One was announced, and this holiday season you'll get to do just that with dozens of modifiers and other in-game goodies, in addition to getting to see what exactly Halo 5 has in store via the included beta access. If you're hyperventilating in excitement, you're not alone.
