TMCC was the dream, they soured so many fans with that release. I'll be excited once i see something improved, until then not worth even getting my hopes up.
The Xbox update that lets you download 4k updates is available for those of us not in the preview program.
You need a portable hard drive. So for example, for me, I don't have any games installed to my HDD on my Xbox One S. They all default to my 4TB external HDD. With this new feature for pre-downloading 4K content (as long as you enable it), that will get installed to my external HDD as well. When I get my Xbox One X, I plug in my external HDD, and all the games run instantly, in 4K. I won't have to do all the 4K downloads AFTER I get my X1X so that I can experience 4K immediately. The only work required would be if you wanted to transfer any of that from your external to internal HDD, which I don't.For a dummy who hasn't been paying attention, how does this work? I can download the updates onto my normal X1, what's the method to transfer it to the X when it releases?

Now keep in mind, that is for the games that developers have given MS the 4K content, to give to us ahead of time. There are over 100 games with 4K content coming, and as far as I know, there are only a couple games with 4K content available for us to download right now. I doubt all 100+ games will have their 4K content available to download on November 7th, but I guess anything is possible.
I am not sure, but I know Forza and Gears are. I don't know what others.Makes sense, thank you! Which games are available now?

Straight, I'm not sure why people seem so unimpressed with Halo as a whole. To me, its not that the series has stagnated or just sucks. Not at all in fact.
I personally think its because its typically a quality product time and again. Sure, there's been a few missteps but, as a whole Halo has delivered. Its one of the few titles that have stellar SP and MP. People are still rocking out Halo Guardians and its almost two years old. That goes for Gears and Forza. MS still needs to bring more AAA titles however. In this day and age, its unacceptable.
Some won't agree but I don't give a fuk. This is my opinion.
Or Halo 4Well we know they didn't deliver with MCC
They righted the ship with the MP in 5 but the SP is considered by many to be the worst in the series.

IMO, go with Horizon 3. I loved H1 and H2, but H3 raised the bar.I'm surprised we don't have an official list of which games will be available at launch yet, it's only a few weeks away. I want to know which games to buy now!
Speaking of which, I'm having a difficult time deciding between Forza 7 and Horizon 3. I haven't played either yet. Pretty insane considering the two previous Horizon games are two of my favorite racing games ever, Horizon 2 is probably my most played game on X1. I've been holding out for the X to play it. I'm leaning towards Horizon 3 because of it, but know that 7 will probably be better looking. Priorities.

Or Halo 4
Not imoA worse game overall but the campaign is still better than 5

Someone doesn't remember fighting Brutes, lol. Halo 5 Prometheans weren't bullet sponges. They actually made the knights more fun to fight.I didn't care for either campaign. AI is worse in both games than Bungie's AI. Enemy AI was one of the things that made the sandbox work in single player over other FPSs. Bungie campaigns also didn't rely on bullet sponges to extend battle sequences. Hate the Prometheans. They're boring bullet sponges that lead to unimaginative game design. Hope they get back to basics in Halo 6.

Halo 4 was more bullet spongey. Halo 5 was more Wardeny.
Still remember a lot of Prometheans standing around waiting to get shot in Halo 5. Outside of the Warden and a few tricky spots, most of Halo 5 wasn't super hard even on Legendary if you were willing to grind away their health patiently. Oh...and the Prometheans ships were also an unpleasant grind.
Promies are way more fun to fight in 5, soldiers became elite like, flit around like ninja monkeys and actually jack you off (not in a good way) and knights became tanks like hunters. I spose the biggest issue I had was it's harder to distinguish weapon types on a soldier/knight. Often you don't know if they have a scattershot or incendiary cannon or a lightrifle or a binary, some coloured highlights (like the standard,legendary,mythic versions in Warzone) would go a long way in identifying threats.
I'd also like to see way more Forerunner vehicles, UNSC and covenant have loads, but all promies have is phaetons, gimme a completely alien vehicle for 6.
Rollins get us back on the OneX hype train as we have appeared to stop at Halo Station....
