@DarkRula Yeah, I could have told you that.
You can switch to any car you own, and have it delivered to you in any location on the map, as long as you have enough credits, much like fast traveling to locations, which also costs credits.
@Dezzy As far as Halo games with good single player campaigns go, I'm inclined to agree with @DarthNocturnal, that both 2 and Reach are pretty good, but I don't agree with his criticism on the first game. And that has a pretty good story too. And another good one, that was already mentioned, is ODST.
All except for Reach, are in the Master Chief Collection, and you'll probably be able to find either a physical or a digital version of Reach for a decent price, so those are options.
Never played 4 and 5, so I have no opinion on those.
Personally, I also liked the two Halo RTS games, but those are probably not what you're looking for.

All in all, it seems like a VERY good month to be an Xbox owner with an active Live subscription, because besides Forza Horizon 2 and For Honor, there is more good stuff to come:
"August is a good month to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, as Microsoft announced a strong game lineup for Xbox Games With Gold next month, lead by Forza Horizon 2 and For Honor on Xbox One.
Xbox One owners will be able to download Forza Horizon 2 — the standard, 10th Anniversary Edition of the driving game — from Aug. 1 to Aug. 31 as part of their Xbox Live Gold membership. Starting on Aug. 16, they’ll also get access to For Honor (again, the Standard Edition of Ubisoft’s historical fighting game), which will be available through Sept. 15.
On Xbox 360, owners of that console will get access to Electronic Arts’ sci-fi horror adventure Dead Space 3 (available Aug. 1-15) and Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (available Aug. 16-31). As always, both games will also be playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility.
Making next month’s Games With Gold lineup a little sweeter is the fact that Microsoft is currently having a sale on Xbox Live Gold subscriptions. A 12-month subscription is currently $39.99 ($20 off the standard price) and a three-month subscription is $9.99 ($15 off the standard price).
In the meantime, Xbox Live Gold subscribers can still get access to some of July’s Games With Gold titles, including Assault Android Cactus, Death Squared and Splinter Cell: Conviction."
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@DarthNocturnal Yeah, that's what I meant. The plot/story is pretty good, and if I remember correctly, the update did address some issues that were in the original.
As for it being basic: I see it as a natural progression. Not only in development, but also in the story. First, they went in not really knowing or realizing who or what their enemy was, so they just brought their standard weapons and machinery, and in later games in the series, they simply "upped their game" to be able to not just withstand, but also try to destroy them. So, they created bigger and better toys...
This is actually quite a common thing, and not just in games. Movies do it, too. Just look at Aliens, Predator, Starship Troopers, or any other sci-fi movie where humans are fighting alien invaders/enemies.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
And it made almost no difference to the game at all lol.
Except for the fact that Prompto took a picture one time the second I'd tipped the car off a bridge and was tumbling through the air.
Lol, they didn't bother coding in expressions on their faces so they're all just smiling as they tumble through the air.
@NEStalgia I @Dezzy Helo Reach is not in the Master Chief Collection because it doesn't feature Master Chief. However, I expect them to enhance the game for X like they did with 3 and 5 and are doing now with the MCC.
What Halo has the better campaign? It depends on who you ask I suppose, but the MCC is the place to start, wait for the X upgrade if you have that console.
@NEStalgia Quote went wrong, I called you for letting you know that Forza Horizon 3 is 30 fps and Forza Motorsport 7 60 fps so probably that's a reason why you like 7 more. Forza Horizon 4 will be 60 fps on Xbox One X which is so good.
But of course some people prefer Forza Motorsport because is more serious.
@BlueOcean ohhhh when are they doing the x upgrade on mcc? I hadn't realized that was a thing!
Also, interesting about horizon. Didn't even notice it's 30fps..... Makes me excited for 4. That said I'm actually enjoying the track racing.... And i don't even like racing : lol
Although it does mention that it's kinda sad that it doesn't have a 60fps option, it also stresses that Horizon is a VERY different beast, compared to mainline Forza, and that Playground Games always goes for graphical fidelity. They also stress that due to a range of assets/tricks, the arcade and racing feel is still solid regardless, so although 60fps might be a bit of a missed opportunity, it is NOT a crucial part of being able to thoroughly enjoy and admire the beauty of this game regardless.
@NEStalgia I already figured you either didn't notice or weren't too bothered by it being "only" 30fps.
You never really struck me as the "Not 60fps? Not gonna play it" type...

So I am wanting a FPS game on my Xbox One mainly for MP. I have CoD: WWII, Overwatch and Battlefield 1 on my PS4 so I don't want to buy any of this again. I saw that Titanfall 2 is $6 as part of the Ultimate Game Sale. My question is does anyone how the server pop? Is this game dead? And if it is any other non Battle Royale FPS games that come to mind?

@Tasuki Not sure if it's your kind of FPS, but have you tried or though of Destiny 2? At least those servers are still quite active. And if you do happen to like Destiny 2, then you might also want to give Warframe a try. It has both quite the decent single player campaign, as well as good multiplayer, even though it does have some Battle Royale elements. I'd say, just check out some YouTube gameplay videos of these games, and see if it's something you might like.
As for Titanfall 2: @NEStalgia might be able to comment on that, if I remember correctly.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX Thanks. I won't touch Destiny 2 mainly cause of the MMO aspect in it. Not to go in great detail here but me and MMOs don't do well together and I was lucky enough to kick that habit when I stopped playing WoW years ago.
I am looking for more something like CoD or Battlefield where as I can jump on have a few matches of domination or conquest or whatever after a day's work and be good.

@DarthNocturnal ffxv is such a mess, but unlike viii it's a likable mess.
@ThanosReXXX i tend to notice in certain genres like shooters or platformers, but im more likely to notice how nice it is if its 60 than i am to notice it isnt. But with the forzas i didnt notice either way. Every thing is a blur anyway
@Tasuki funny, done people get addicted to mmo...i tend to get bored to tears and give up a few hours in . Even Xenoblade faux mmo aspects bore me silly.
Destiny 2, don't worry about the mmo aspect... The brainless shooting won't hold your interest long enough to care it's a worse halo with a lootbox expansion pack . If you don't have an x1 guess it's ok?
As for Titanfall 2 i haven't played it enough to comment. I haven't tried the online at all, so i can't say how dead it is, but it's been on a lot of sales this summer for cheap and is on EA Access so it's probably healthy enough. What i played of single player, I really liked it so far, though I'm not too far in. It's a different, Western cross of gundam meets battletech so I'm probably biased for the genre.
Beyond that, most of my shooter experience is story campaigns. My online shooting is mostly coop gears, halo, borderlands (technically an rpg not a shooter) and Splatoon 2 these days.
