    Como joguei ja nas versões remasterizadas eu senti muita falta das cutscenes refeitas do 2 pois elas ficaram belissimas, achei falta de capricho não remasterizarem de todos os jogos.
    Mas tirando isso houve uma evolução grafica no jogo em todos os aspectos, modelos, armas, inimigos, expressões e cenários.

    ---== História ==--
    Manteve a mesma pegada do anterior, com uma boa historia e as otimas interações da cortana com o chief.
    Ainda prefiro do jogo anterior, mas pode ser que tenha me apegado as cutscenes cinematograficas(remaster) do 2 que dao uma imersão muito diferente.
    Mas que final srs... Recomendo muito a trilogia!

    ---== Gameplay ==--
    Pra mim houve uma evolução MUITO grande nesse jogo, finalmente senti que eu estava evoluindo nos cenarios, explorando e avançando.
    O jogo ainda é sobre ordas de inimigos, mas eles não parecem mais ser soltos em uma pequeno espaço. O cenario é bem organico com a quantidade de inimigos e faz sentido com o contexto da missao.
    A parte de gunplay melhorou bastante, a armas começaram a ter "peso" na hora de atirar e cada arma tem uma sensação diferente nos inimigos
    Não sou expert em jogos de tiro ou nada do tipo, mas é gritante a evolução da gameplay de um jogo para outro.

    ---== Resumo ==--
    Diferente dos anteriores que gostei da história mas tinha achado a gameplay repetitiva, neste eu me diverti do começo ao fim, terminando com vontade de jogar mais.    … Expand

    Esta coleção abrangente reúne todos os principais jogos da série, desde o icônico Halo: Combat Evolved até o épico Halo 4, em uma única e conveniente compilação. Como jogador, posso afirmar que a The Master Chief Collection é uma verdadeira celebração da jornada do Master Chief e uma experiência incrível para os fãs.

Como jogador, posso afirmar que a The Master Chief Collection é uma verdadeira celebração da jornada do Master Chief e uma experiência incrível para os fãs.

    Uma das maiores vantagens de Halo: The Master Chief Collection é a oportunidade de reviver os jogos clássicos em todo o seu esplendor remasterizado. Os gráficos foram aprimorados e atualizados, tornando os ambientes e personagens ainda mais impressionantes do que antes. A atenção aos detalhes é evidente em cada cenário, capturando a essência dos jogos originais enquanto oferece uma qualidade visual moderna e envolvente.

    A jogabilidade de cada jogo da coleção é tão sólida e empolgante quanto eu me lembrava. Os controles são precisos e responsivos, proporcionando uma experiência de tiro em primeira pessoa excepcional. Cada jogo tem sua própria identidade e mecânicas únicas, desde a combinação de veículos e tiroteios estratégicos de Halo 2 até o combate frenético e vertical de Halo 4. A jogabilidade clássica de Halo continua cativante e divertida, tanto para os veteranos quanto para os novos jogadores.

    Outro destaque da The Master Chief Collection é o multiplayer online. O jogo traz uma ampla variedade de modos de jogo competitivos e cooperativos, permitindo aos jogadores mergulharem em batalhas épicas com amigos e outros jogadores ao redor do mundo. A progressão do jogador e a personalização do personagem adicionam uma camada adicional de profundidade ao multiplayer, incentivando a exploração e a diversidade de estilos de jogo. Além disso, o suporte contínuo e as atualizações fornecidas pela 343 Industries demonstram o compromisso em manter a comunidade engajada e oferecer uma experiência multiplayer de alta qualidade.

    O aspecto mais impressionante de Halo: The Master Chief Collection é a quantidade de conteúdo disponível. Além dos quatro principais jogos da série, a coleção inclui todos os mapas multiplayer e DLCs lançados, bem como a adição do aclamado modo de campanha de Halo 3: ODST. Isso significa que há uma infinidade de horas de jogo disponíveis, tanto para a campanha solo quanto para a diversão multiplayer.    … Expand

    Halo 3 is my favorite game. Everything in it is perfect.
    The graphics are pumped up from the Xbox 360, there is no monotony, spacious and monotonous locations, and the best gameplay and the best soundtrack in games in my opinion. The developers were told to make a masterpiece without the old mistakes and they did. It's a must-have, just like the first and second installments, and Halo:Reach too.

    Halo 3 is a masterpiece, and I only have two gripes with it: the mission Cortana and the gameplay aging a bit. I think all Halo fans know that Cortana is a terrible mission marred by so many of the problems with the flood, and the gameplay aging is a given considering it's a 15-year-old game. That all being said, Halo 3 still remains incredibly fun.

I struggle to recall moments when the game copy/pastes areas like in Halo CE. The game manages to have strong hallway fights while also providing tons of great open areas. In terms of level design in a shooter, Halo 3 is one of the absolute best of the best in my experience. The campaign for Halo 3 is another strong point. Every single mission except for one is a quality mission in my opinion. Halo 3 also manages a surprising amount of locational variety. The whole campaign is just amazing, I cannot recommend it enough. Lastly, this is the first Halo game released on 7th generation consoles, and in my opinion, the visuals still hold up. While faces and bodies don't look amazing and the graphical quality is obviously old, the visuals of space battles, faraway locations, and the starry skies still remain beautiful. I cannot recommend this game enough, it is a masterpiece.… Expand

    Halo 3 - here is the third part turned out as it should. Yes, there were some boring moments. But, Bunges apparently inspired Half-Life 2, I found a lot of parallels with HL 2.

I can probably still scold the game for **** monkeys. Seriously, monkeys are sometimes stuffy. And they didn't find anything better, so that they can do a lot on some levels. Another battles on vehicles reminded QUAKE 4, although there it was 2-3 times. Even guns are not reset to the default machine gun and pistol, as it was in Halo 1, 2, 5... Even this game does not need running. The chief moves normally for this game. Well, 343disabled people didn't find anything better than to turn these stupid decoys into enemies for Halo Infinite. My overall rating for Halo 3 is 8, even 8.5 out of 10. Bibike levels where everything explodes behind still cause buhurt.… Expand

    Не было проделано той же работы, что и со второй частью. Графика осталась почти той же. Геймплей довольно устаревший. Игра почти ничем геймплейно не отличается от предыдущих частей.

    To be honest, I played this game with some high expectations because it's always said: "it's the best Halo game ever!". And... it's overrated.

    The skill thing they brought in is confusing, nothing is really explained to you and you have to learn how some of them work on the fly. The story is very good, as usual, the graphics too, and the maps aren't as good as Halo 2. Guns are... OK?

    The bad thing is that towards the ending of the game they just somehow "force" a Halo 1 reprise by making you blow up the same thing again - and then the experience become as boring as Halo 1 was. Corridors, control rooms, blow stuff, well... that ending was sufferable to play through.

    But it has more highs than downs so it's still a good game, just overrated.    … Expand

    This is, by a considerable margin, the best game in the series. As a sum of its parts, none of the Halo shooters come quite close enough. Individual parts though, do in some cases fall behind - Halo 2 has better story, characters and delivery, etc.

    However, Halo 3 is definitely, despite its shortcomings, deserving of the title of a classic, and you should definitely experience it if you have not already.

    Graphically, the game is not from technical standpoint, better than its contemporaries - in fact, it falls behind a bit in technical regard. However, it is very much distinct - not only for its unmistakable Halo style, but also, at the time this game came out, we were already entering the brown'n'grey era of shooters/games, and the fresh color palette of this game would definitely make it more distinct. Not so much nowadays when things are more colorful, but historically, credit has to be given. This should also be a remaster with improved graphics, sort of, but the upgrade is not even close to being as significant as it was for the first two games and it is very close to the original.

    Sound design and music are great. Truth be told, I don't think I've played a mainline Halo game with bad music. Halo 2 remaster breaks the mold a bit by having crap sound design / engineering, but the music is still good. Anyways, considering how many shooters often neglect their soundtrack and stick to some generic, low effort, low cost stuff, praise for good music is well deserved in Halo 3's case.

    Story wise, as mentioned, the game drops off from Halo 2 level of quality, some more cringy jokes and other stupid crap returns to ruin- I mean, lighten the mood. Eyerolls aside though, there is a twist with one of the characters by the end that I don't understand. It wasn't surprising, it was The Last Jedi levels of writing - subverting expectations by having characters act like lobotomized lemurs and making decisions so bad the word ret*rded does them no justice. The character wasn't exactly well written for what they are supposed to be in previous games, nor throughout this one to be honest, but this last moment of theirs was just terrible, really out of place, and went against pretty much everything the character did up to that point, as well as completely against their nature (or as far as could be gleaned throughout the games).

    Gameplay wise though, it's one of the most fun games in the series, if not the best in the gameplay department. It finally manages to get the flood mostly right - it still slips into a bit of a slog in some moments in later stages, but still manages to hold back quite far from Halo 2 and especially Halo CE. The combat feels great, the weapons work well based on their type, the enemies are, for the most part, fun to fight, and if all goes to crap, you can always pick up an energy blade and cut some crap up.

    I have to say though, vehicle controls and physics remained distinctly crap, as is usual for Halo. But just because you do something badly for years does not mean you should be exempt from criticism for it - quite the opposite to be honest.

    Anyways, the game was fun enough for me to just finish it in two sessions, and I'll probably give it another shake a couple months from now. Definitely recommend to - anyone really. Even if first person shooters aren't your main thing, you'll have fun with this one, I think.    … Expand

    Halo 2 -

    This game is pretty good, the story has amazing dialogue, and memorable characters. I really love the elites most in this game, they make you feel better than everyone else.

    Halo 3 -

    This game has one of the best campaigns in the series. I really love the graphics and design, as well as the gameplay. Is the epic conclusion for a epic story.

    Halo ODST -

    Is different, you're not a super soldier and the feeling of being alone is desolate, manages to perfectly capture how it would be to be facing the Covenant as a non-spartan.

    Halo Reach -

    The story, characters, and settings are all vastly interesting. Halo Reach reminds me Rogue One: a story that connects everything we knew about our heroes.

    Halo 4 -

    Incredible graphics, art styles, and a great storyline make the game very fun to play. This game dives into the bond between Chief and Cortana in a fantastic manner. 343 did a really good job with this game, considering it was their first.    … Expand
