    The MasterChief Collection was all I wanted. Replay old memories with new graphics and sound effects. The new cinematics really adds up to the game. Plus, you have all 3 other games with it. It's a very good deal overall for only 60$. It's a must have for your game collection on your xbox one.

    4 legendary games, 1 beta for halo 5, 100 multiplayer maps and halo nightfall series, this is just too much for only 60 bucks.
    freaking 10 out of 10 because of the value for the money.

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection is simply outstanding. The graphical face-lift for each game is fantastic, but the sheer value of gaming that you're treated with for $60 is unparalleled anywhere.

The graphical face-lift for each game is fantastic, but the sheer value of gaming that you're treated with for $60 is unparalleled anywhere. The re-release of the main four Halo games isn't just a scheme to generate big revenue for Microsoft, the Master Chief Collection actually revitalizes each Halo game and makes multiplayer fun again. With an excellent matchmaking system that taps into just over 100 maps (106 total if I'm not mistaken) and a clever playlist system, there will be no shortage of fun and no abundance of redundancy from playing the same starter list of maps that most games suffer from. If you've played Halo and enjoyed it, this is the easiest recommendation anyone could ever make. If you've never played Halo or were too young to have gone back and played the first couple of games, you owe it to yourself to see what made this franchise what it is today. It's Halo 2 that gets the "anniversary treatment", so you'll notice the biggest jump in visuals there. It doesn't hurt that purchasing this collection also nets you an invite to the Halo 5 beta and the Halo: Nightfall mini-series produced by Ridley Scott.… Expand

    This collection is a love-letter to these astonishing games. The mere amount of content blew my mind. It feels so good to jump between sinlge levels of different games and in a way it is just like traveling through years of "gaming history" with the press of a button.
    The redone Halo 2 cutscenes look beautiful and it was a pleasure to play through the campaign again. For that alone and the multiplayer (which features more then a hundred maps!) halo-veterans probably would enjoy this collection.
    I also recommend this collection to anyone who has not yet played any Halo game and is looking for a way to change that.    … Expand

Hours of well packed content ahead of me... I am as giddy as I was when I first played halo. thankyou 343i, for treating my favorite franchise with such respect.

    best memories ever made, can't leave a better smile on my face. With the most discusting multiplayer problems i still found 10/10 for its efforts in the storyline, like come on lets be realistic, 4 games is for sure worth the 60 bucks. If you don't like this game then your seriously not the right taste in a quality video game.

    This is a great deal for the price, every single game in the collection are very good & worthy of a play through & the remastered graphics make it that much better but the multi-player was a little disappointing so I couldn't give it a perfect score but when they patch the multi-player the game will definitely be a 10

    If you were able to get into a multiplayer match the game is really good. The balancing was pretty and the new additions made the map a little more interesting, Gungooses, Hornets, Infected Swords and much more.

    The Campaign was fun to go through, the terminals gave up a lot of story, the Cutscenes were great though they are pre rendered. I got so much nostalgia playing through the game, Halo 1 multiplayer was the best thing.

    Does it deserve a 10/10? Until the multiplayer is fixed no.

Halo with the Anniversary edition and Halo 2, which was done for this release. Not to mention, over 100 multi-player maps, many of which have also been updated, and the Halo Nightfall series. The sheer amount of single player and multi-player content included here is absolutely mind numbing. Best of all, its just $60 (I only paid $48 through Best Buy's Gamer Club). MS could have easily charged $50-60 bucks just for the Halo 2 update. Again, in all my years of gaming I have never seen a better deal than the Master Chief Collection.

    How any Halo fan can say no to this package is utterly beyond my comprehension! If I could give this game an 11 out of 10, I would. As for myself, the long road to 100% completion is already well underway! Thank you Microsoft and 343 studios!!    … Expand

    I've started from Halo 1 and going forward. The game is amazing. Even that it's older games with a new face, I think it worth it, since I didn't played Halo 1 and 2. The story is solid and of course, you have to keep in mind that this is a game from 13 years ago, so don't create cinematic expectations to that version. On the other hand, halo 2, 3 and 4 it's just like a movie.

I just miss the old sounds of things like the SMG, Sniper, Ghost and some stuff like that. Its only a tiny detail, but options in the menu for that would be awesome (even if they might be unnecessary)
