It took me about a second to download it so I assume it's all in the MC Collection download. Need to check though.

Yeah everyone who can should make sure and have at least Halo 2 MP installed before tonight.
If you're on PC Gamepass it might be worth making sure it's all working fine. I booted it up the other day and at some point in the past two weeks it had decided to uninstall the Easy-Anti Cheat software and wouldn't load. Was easy enough to fix (Had to find the setup for EAC in the install dir and run it) but it's definitely representative of how strawberry floating weird PC gamepass games can be. Literally just broke on it's own for no reason I'm aware of.
I might be a little bit later tonight so feel free to start without me, but I will try and get on for starting.

Yeah mine was a 10 meg download which seems suspicious...
Going to give it a quick test in my lunch break just to make sure it's actually working

Multiplayer seems to have two options: "Halo 2 Classic" and "Halo 2 Anniversary" - are we going with the latter?

Yeah. All about that "Classic" Halo 2 combat. lol
I would install both if you can but Classic is the one we'll go with I think.

I think I installed everything last time, and can load a classic halo 2 game fine!
Will be about 30 mins late today as I'm volunteering beforehand.

I think installing Halo 2 gives you both options in the Multiplayer menu

Well despite Microsoft doing it's best to strawberry float us all over with how hard it is to actually get anything running we had some great games there!
Actually found myself enjoying Halo 2 a lot more that I was expecting to so very much looking forward to next week as well

Hey, Dev, I know that you've mentioned
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition before and it has just received a new update. The changes include cross-platform multiplayer (PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox) so perhaps it could be a candidate for one of your Wednesday battle nights?

I strawberry floating love ROTT. It's ridiculous, fast and a little bit bonkers.
I would be up for doing a week of it at some point.
