Halo: The Master Chief Collection finally released to the world for Xbox One users, several months after it was first announced at this year’s E3. Containing four games in one, it’s hard bargain to not miss amongst Halo fans and enthusiasts. What’s more is that the game also ships with early access to the multiplayer Beta of Halo 5: Guardians , which is due to come out at some point next year.
Halo 5’s multiplayer Beta was teased during this year’s first HaloFest, where the rumor of the game featuring aim-down-sights circulated soon after.
The footage in question does feature a couple of instances when aiming a pistol looks strikingly similar to the typical aim-down-sights mechanic found in some other shooter games, but this author believes that it’s just a change in animation, as it appears to not penalize the player in terms of slowing movement speed. Bungie later responded to the rumor once it started gaining momentum.
Also during HaloFest, top-notch Halo players competed for their chance to gain access to the multiplayer Beta via a Halo Invitational tournament to commemorate the impending launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection .
