    Awesome game. One of the very few games that make me play each mission over and over again just for the fun of it. The replayability of Halo games is what makes this collection truly amazing.

    What a horrible game. Who decide the controls? Everything about this game is weird. Can't run. Matchmaking terrible. Stay away

    One of the great games collections, RUINED. The last update completely destroyed achievements unlocking. Checkpoints don't save. Start the level up and end up 3 checkpoints back from where you left off. The MCC, at least on PC, has taken a massive dump on this legendary franchise and it's not on.

    The Halo games themselves are interesting to play even after the years following their release. However, not enough to get all that engrossed. The collection also suffers from achievement glitches on steam, meaning that completing the games on the hardest difficulty, twice, resulted in me getting no achievement for it and retiring the game due to frustration.

    Хороший сборник, позволяющий проследить историю Мастера Чифа тем, кто не пользуется xbox. Порадовали ремастеры первых частей, так же можно отдельно оценить возможность отключать ремастер прямо в процессе игры. Halo - отличный шутер, и безусловно, во многом пример того, как нужно делать игры этого жанра.Хороший сборник, позволяющий проследить историю Мастера Чифа тем, кто не пользуется xbox.

    Графен подтянули - это плюс, сделали один удобный лончер для всех частей.
    Мультиплеер я не понял - есть дробление на части, в каждой по миллиону режимов, еще и настройки профиля под каждую часть свои... В общем слишком перемудрили.    Графен подтянули - это плюс, сделали один удобный лончер для всех частей.

    Absolute garbage port, easily the worst port of anything I've ever seen. 3 years post launch and these titles are STILL feature incomplete especially on PC, with bugs EVERYWHERE. Co-op may as well have been cancelled, because splitscreen is gone altogether and the netcode has been changed for first year student garbage.

However, the campaigns are imperfect due to the regenerating health game mechanic, which incentivizes a tedious 'cover-shoot-cover' strategy', and also due to a finicky and unpredictable checkpoint system. As for the multiplayer, it's simply terrific. You can enhance the graphics with ReShade presets from Nexusmods.… Expand

    И так, я поиграл во все игры сборника и могу с уверенностью сказать, что нормальную работу разработчики проделали только со 2 частью, в которой переделали всё, а все игры остальные тупо перенесли на ПК без каких-либо значимых изменений.

    Its a great game and its finally on PC. This game is the entire pack and contains the complete storyline of Master Chief (MC). The worst part of the game is that the MC refuses to speak even though the Captain asks him if he is dead or alive after a big ass explosion. MC stands like a brick when an NPC is talking to him and I am glad Sgt mocks him for it. In 3 games, he only speaks 2-3Its a great game and its finally on PC.

In 3 games, he only speaks 2-3 times in the entirety of the game which makes you wonder why hire a voice actor and pay him millions only to speak 2-3 times in a 30 hr campaign. Finally, in Halo 4, MC speaks which helps connect the player with the NPC around him and understand the turmoil MC goes through. Halo 3 was not remastered for some reason which makes you want to skip it after playing the remastered versions of the game. Halo ODST is the same with a mute character surrounded with lively NPC showing so much emotions which is infuriating for me.… Expand

    The series has no interesting content at all. The whole storyline is just killing aliens and that is all. The most boring Sci-Fi game ever. Even the combat is boring.

    This game is pure nostalgia. You take that off and it becomes worthless, any indie shooter game is worth more than this piece of trash.

    Halo: Combat Evolved is the essential Bungie game, the pinnacle and probably the last real one.

You can subtly see even things that were influenced by the game being a tactical RTS in the development of the game.

    It isn't hard to see elements of the Marathon series, but also Myth: TFL. You can subtly see
    even things that were influenced by the game being a tactical RTS in the development of the game.
    I wouldn't be surprised if how enemies strategize, how certain abilities are used, tactics of the enemy, the feel of this has been imparted by that.

    Even now, 19 years since the release, this is still a good game. It's fun, it just feels right and better than modern games do in some ways. The design is excellent and atmospheric, I MUCH prefer the original graphics to the remastered*. Even the exterior background images look better and fit the scenery properly. The art style is just better.

    *(which also get rid of several copyrighted symbols, the Marathon logo the biggest injury.)

    The story is of course terrible, you're just a big Marine guy saving the galaxy with your blue hacker girlfriend. Despite this, it has great atmosphere, I love the banter of the marines and enemies, but the story is just basic **** to the core. Where's the text terminals? Where's the lore? Where's the maniac AI waxing poetically about the universe ending, or the artwork of exploded alien carcasses outside the space station window? Cortana is just blue, snarky and forgettable.

    But the game is pretty good.

    Now, the gameplay itself is a bit of a problem. This was eventually turned into a console release, so as a shooter it isn't really that great, especially now on mouse and keyboard. The gameplay hasn't been resolved for this, it isn't snappy, you're not rewarded for having good aim much at all (consoles cheat for you like the dickens), it's much easier with a controller. Backing away from that, the multiplayer I never enjoyed. There's not really much skill required, no precision, it ends up very rock paper scissors. It turned me off to the game way back when, I never played the singleplayer.

    Finally, we arrive at the source of the problems. Microsoft bought Bungie, released Halo: CE for Xbox, and it absolutely saved the Microsoft console division. I had other points, but I am going to wrap this up. This may have saved Xbox, but gaming is for the worse. Games really were dumbed down and stunted for consoles. The period of 2000 to like 2013, but especially the earlier half, games were disproportionately **** looking and closed in, simplified and worse. It affected the whole market, and in many ways. RTS games are gone, flight sims are only barely returning, rpgs are largely horrible, and on and on.

    So, I am enjoying the singleplayer, without nostalgia for it, but it is bitter sweet. Imagine Halo: CE released on PC. It might have, like every other Bungie hit, been released with a full, real editor. The most influential and modern shooter would have had mouse controls, a game editor, and top of the line graphics.

    I'm not saying today there wouldn't be **** DLC, or manipulative practices, or frustration mechanics designed to make you spend money, lootboxes, etc, that strain of horse **** in gaming, some of that comes from the MMO market, and so some of that is PC's fault. But we would be in a much better place.

    I can imagine downloading Halo user multiplayer map packs in 2001, or full custom campaigns, or haha, maybe even a Marathon total conversion. What could that have led to, that creativity, something so popular with those possibilities, a game that respected it's audience and wanted to see what they could make. We were robbed, and that will never again come to AAA gaming, not even a shade of how it was. If it doesn't make immediate profit for shareholders, then it isn't important.

    Bungie without Microsoft would have been truly something, and it is telling that every Halo game has been significantly worse, until here we are today. The later games are missing that magic and the weakest point of the original? If anything they have made the story and lore worse.

    Still, this one is a good game.    … Expand

    Overcoming its deserved reputation after a notorious launch, today the Halo Master Chief Collection is a polished, super-deluxe package of content that successfully links three generations of amazing Halo games together in a way that feels like it was made by and for people who care deeply about this legendary shooter franchise. The enhancements to the campaigns make it a joy to replay Master Chief’s story (and two other UNSC tales as well), but it’s the now-smooth multiplayer that’s worth coming back to over and over again. It’s not just a collection of some of the best first-person shooters ever made, it’s a great redemption story, too.
