Worst M$ briefing ever...
You weren't going to be impressed No matter what.

looked like it wasnt a big turnout..

I beg to differ... My expectations were low, but it wouldn't have taken much to impress me at all...
My thing is, I've been playing Halo, Forza, Gears, and COD for damn near 10 years now. It's time for something new... Can't get excited about the same games year after year...
Rest of multiplayer FPS genre officially confirmed surplus to requirements
There's value for money and then there's value for money and then there's Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which plays host to 106 maps from Halo: Combat Evolved (playable online on console for the first time), Halo 2 (which now supports Forge Mode), Halo 3 and Halo 4. Most run on the original "native" engine, but some have been upgraded with new textures.
GAF user Mr Enigma has done us the favour of listing them (there are three outstanding entries, at the time of writing). Here is the only appropriate response. And here's a little gallery of shots to accompany the list. The map with the big pyramid structure on it is Ascension.
Update - I'm seeing disagreement online about whether maps for the PC versions of Halo 2 and CE will make the cut. 343's Frank O'Connor has told us that they will. "We've actually added a bunch of maps that were never available on the console versions from the PC versions, so they're in there now." We're seeking clarification, though.
Update 2 - A Microsoft spokesperson has told OXM that all maps from the PC versions of Halo 2 and CE are, indeed, included.

Ya'll realize that Sony won E3 right? Although it wasn't the best E3 ever. But what I noticed is that developers has jumped ship because Xbox fucked up. With all the changes they making that should've been made when the console released IE: Kinect sold separately, Expandable Hard Drive, Releasing updates to make it run at full potential, and NOW they want to be more Indie Game friendly. Like WTF? It's like they put out a console that was incomplete so now from E3 you see that Sony are getting MORE of the "exclusives" before it was Xbox. While they still have their main ones like Call of Duty Maps first, all the Halo shit, and their other games they're are known for. But most of the games you seen at E3 are cross platform and you have a PS4 already why would you really go out and buy an Xbox? They fucked up from last year is still haunting them and they are trying to adjust quickly. I don't have a PS4 yet but I will get one in 2015 when the real shit starts coming out.
That's just what Im seeing.
That's just what Im seeing.
I don't see a decisive winner. Sony is just allowed to show multi platform games as Well as TV crap with No repercussions. Microsoft will be fine when they shed the bad guy image. It took Sony a while last gen. Not showing Halo or Gears hurt Microsoft but next year that will all be forgotten.

Hey folks…we’re here in Los Angeles at E3 2014, and it has been a packed house all week long. We filled the Galen Center on Monday for our annual E3 show and rolled out an incredible line-up of blockbuster exclusives for this holiday and next year. And directly after our show, we held a great panel discussion with Phil, Yusuf and others – for 200 of our biggest Xbox fans. This was the first event of its kind for us… and we loved it. You can also read Phil’s thoughts on the past week at E3 here.
As we pack up our booth, we end E3 just as we started: Our focus is on you. You’ve shaped Xbox into what it is today, and we can’t thank you enough. We look forward to hearing more from you over the coming weeks – now, officially on Xbox Feedback – a dedicated channel for all your thoughts and recommendations. From what we’ve seen this week, your feedback continues to be amazing. As of today, more than 65,000 fans like you have suggested more than 4300 ideas and contributed over 180,000 votes.
We can’t wait to dig into your ideas and explore what may be possible for the future of Xbox. What better way to keep this momentum going than to share what’s coming in July? Here’s a shortlist of features rolling out in the next few days to folks getting early access to the Xbox One system update.
- Snap Mode for Achievements. As we showed at our E3 Green Carpet event before the show, we’re offering an easier way to track and view your achievements in the moment. With Achievement Snap, you can track your achievement progress in real time without ever leaving the game. You can also ‘Get Help’ on any Achievements you’re struggling with. Xbox will scan the web for you and deliver relevant tips and strategy content right to your TV.
- Double-tap to Snap. Double-tap the button on your controller to bring up Snap Center, where you can launch Achievements or any other snap-able app, without leaving your game. Already have an app snapped? Double-tap quickly switches between your game and the snapped app.
- Choice of Spoken Language. Folks in New Zealand, Ireland and Austria, with this update in July, will be able to select voice control using the English or German voice models from other countries. And if you’re an expat in an English-speaking country, you, too, can choose any of the other English language models that fit you.
- Future Digital Bundles and Compilation Discs. We’re doing some work now so that publishers will have options for great digital bundle and disc compilation offerings in the future. As we test this feature, we’ll be seeing more flexible combinations of game titles and game content.
- ‘Like’ Game DVR clips. We’re adding the ability to ‘Like’ all your favorite Game DVR clips as well as activity feed items in SmartGlass.
