    *DISCLAIMER: I mention this often when reviewing remaster collections, but this review will focus a little less on the quality of the individual games, and more so on the package as a whole. If you want to see my original reviews of the games, they're scattered on my profile, so check them out there.*
    I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how I was gonna properly dissect this collection.

    I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how I was gonna properly dissect this collection. When I first got my Xbox One back in 2015, it came with a download code for this collection and, having not played the "Halo" games at the time, I was admittedly pretty excited to see what I had been missing. And while the collection didn't turn me into the biggest, most hardcore "Halo" fan on the planet, I do very much enjoy the series based on what I've played. But the collection itself is a bit hard for me to dissect: as great as it's been getting to experience what I've been missing and play the campaigns of these four great games, I feel like the excitement for the collection itself was bogged down by the hideous, bug-riddled launch and the fact that there still seems to be some problems with it. Bearing that in mind, would I still recommend "Halo: The Master Chief Collection?" Well, yeah, I would!
    For the sheer fact that this collection bundles four great to excellent titles, "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" is already an enticing product. Adding the fact that the "Halo 2" featured on this collection is an improved "Anniversary" edition of the game, and that only adds to the excitement. Each game still plays extremely well and hold up excellently on the Xbox One, and being able to play them all at a smooth 60 FPS with improved visuals just makes them that much nicer. The collection is also loaded to the brim with content, and with the fact that you'll be able to add "Halo 3: ODST" and "Halo Reach" to the collection as well just adds even more to what's an already gigantic package.
    On the downside, though, I don't know if I can say in good conscience that the collection is absolute perfection given that the game still appear to have several bugs and glitches rearing their ugly head every once in a while, and while I appreciate that 343's continued to support and improve the collection, it feels a bit confusing that they've been supporting it this long and it still has issues. Also, I'm still a bit unsure of whether I feel the collection does enough for players who already own the "Halo" games. Yes, it has "Halo 2 Anniversary" exclusive to it, but I feel like it doesn't quite scream "essential" unless you never experienced the series before this (like I did).
    Even so, flaws and all, "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" is a massive collection of some pretty great games, and it's definitely impressive to see how far it's come since the ugly launch back in 2014. Sure, there's still some issues, and it may not be the best for people that have already played the hell out of the games back in the day, but if you're looking to get into the "Halo" series, there's no better place to start than right here.
    Final rating: 8 out of 10 "Great"

    I have no interest in the PvP suite, so my experience from the get go was flawless. Halo Remaster, Halo 2 remastered (absolutely beautiful), Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST and Halo 4 all in 4k 60fps. Beautiful. All with online co-op.

    The best first person shooters of 6th and 7th gen all in one package. Love it.

While this game may have taken nearly 4 years to be fixed, this is now a system seller and should be bought by any Halo fan that has enjoyed past Halo games. While H5: Guardians was trash, this game was not. Also, this game is $30 permanently, so for $30(Plus $5 if you buy H3: ODST, which is worth it), you get hundreds of hours of playtime and lots of achievements. This game is now one of my favorites after I recently returned to it. Expand

    Halo,sem duvidas foi um dos títulos mais revolucionaram o mundo dos games,e ditando como seriam os FPS modernos e Jogos de tiro nos consoles.

    Halo,sem duvidas foi um dos títulos mais revolucionaram o mundo dos games,e ditando como seriam os FPS modernos e Jogos de tiro nos consoles.
    Nessa coleção temos os principais jogos da saga de master chief,e foi um dos primeiros jogos a trazer o poder do Xbox one ao publico,com gráficos lindos e configurações de 1080P a 60 Quadros por segundo.
    No primeiro jogo originalmente Remasterizado para o Xbox 360 em 2011 tivemos o primeiro trabalho da nova desenvolvedora que ia trabalhar com Halo a partir de então,não apenas com jogos,mas com tudo que esta envolta desse universo,Livros,Hqs,serie,tudo...
    O primeiro Halo lançado originalmente para Xbox em 2001 foi uma revolução para a industria,o mesmo peso de DOOM de 1993 para os FPS,trazia mudanças e ensinava como se fazia um FPS de qualidade,Mas não é sobre isso que vamos falar hoje.

    Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary:Um clássico com jogabilidade atuais;É incrível como envelheceu ,você se sente como se estivesse jogando um Game lançado hoje,tudo funciona perfeitamente bem,os controles,a jogabilidade,os gráficos da versão original;Mas nem tudo é perfeito,ja que a performasse da versão do 360 não flui tão bem,e não consegue manter 60 quadros nem 60% do tempo.

    O aniversariante
    Halo 2A: vamos ao destaque dessa coleção,Halo 2 traz não apenas os gráficos refeitos majestosamente,mas sim todas as Cutscenes refeitas do Zero,são incríveis,até hoje nunca vi nada igual,talvez seja superada em uma continuação,pois nada bate de frente com a blur-studios e 343I nesse quesito.

    Possui um robusto Modo multiplayer com mapas originais de Halo Ce,Halo 2,Halo 3 e Halo 4 modos como CTF,Big Team,Slayer,infection,além do modo Forja,que da conteúdo infinito,dependendo apenas da comunidade FIEL de jogadores,criando modos de jogos totalmente diferentes e que fogem da caixa,trazendo variedade das zonas de guerra presentes no jogo padrão.
    Halo 3 e Halo 4 sofreram apenas algumas mudanças nos filtros e claro os 60FPS.
    o aniversariante da vez é Halo 2,então deixe o mérito e atenção para ele como melhor opção de gráficos,Performance pessoalmente minha campanha e gameplay favorita da saga.
    Mas agora vamos aos pontos negativos,nem tudo é um mar de rosas,o game apresenta muitos bugs,(Ou pelo menos apresentava)principalmente para quem jogou perto do lançamento,a maioria foram corrigidos,sim,mas o estrago já foi feito,para quem sofreu com tantos problemas no lançamento teve um grande presente da 343i,Uma cópia de Halo 3 ODST na sua master chief collection,com direito a conquistas e tudo,e atualmente esta disponível na loja por um preço muito acessível,R$10.
    Se valeu a pena pra quem teve tantos problemas eu não sei,esse porte deixou a desejar em muito,é o jogo que mais sente-se velho da coleção,e o ""Pior"" Halo,Mas vale a pena para aqueles que sempre se perguntaram como os humanos descobriram a "ARK".
    A coleção definitivamente vale a pena,tanto para fans de longa data que querem novas experiencias em Halo 2A,ou reviver a saga lendária do MC em 1080P 60FPS(4k 60 Para os donos do MONSTRO)Tanto para quem Nunca jogou Halo na vida e quer entender e vivenciar o Maior lore da cultura de video games.
    Para os amantes de Gamerscore é o mesclado do paraíso e o inferno,já que o jogo tem 6000G (600 Conquistas)totais,porém com conquistas que beiram o ridículo,embora difíceis,muito divertidas;
    Alguns problemas no matchmaking,Alguns problemas de performance no Halo ce,personalização simplória não tiram o brilho dessa obra prima da Microsoft Studios,Sem dúvidas deixara sua marca perpetuada nessa industria(9/10)

Halo is OBVSLY a Very Good Game, BUT It Comes With Some Very Real Flaws. What can I say to Contribute to this Discussion; I think the devs should have amended some weak points in the gameplay, namely the Checkpoint system. Since the beginning of Halo people have taken issue with the unreliable and Downright Punishing nature of the Checkpoint system. This could easily have been amended, and here's why I think They Really Should Have Done So;
    ___I lost 30 minutes of Active gameplay over a HUGE territory on Halo 1 because the devs decided NOT to amend (or perhaps it's a bug) a shortage of checkpoints, which has always been a HUGE Complaint of the gaming community. As an adult who Scarcely has time to invest in enjoying games, a game that Throws away a Half an Hour of My Time is HIGHLY Offensive to me. And I think the devs should have considered this as they polished this game. They must know that their core audience, which was in High School when these games came out, is now primarily made of Adults.. Adults, like them, that don't have the unfortunate privilege of disposing of hours of their time.
    ___Additionally, I can only assume the devs left the same programming of enemies (I feel I should title them "monsters," as though we were playing an RPG..) in Halo 3 having "resistances" to certain weapons. I only played this game for the first time two years ago. I was Confused and Dismayed as some enemies simply Would Not Die when being shot with LOADS of ammunition from a certain class of weapons..!!? It was the first of the Halo series in which I did not attempt and complete Legendary mode because I found it to be so Amazingly Aggravating.
    ___It's a series of "Good" games, with flaws, and very good multiplayer. It could have been improved upon and fixed, as I feel it needed to be. I know there must be countless smashed controllers resting, finally, peacefully in the mass graves of the dumps across the land that silently testify the same.

    It's been close to 2 years now and this game has still not been properly fixed. It STILL has annoying issues that make it STILL broken. 343 only had one job... To bring back the glory days of halo 2. Copy and paste a 10 year old game. How hard could that really be???

    ninja gaiden trilogy
    Final fantasy
    Resident evil
    Silent hill
    Metal gear
    Half life

    All of these games have done collection versions of their respective franchises and did it right! Why the crap can't 343 get that right? 343 failed so badly. That's like if I tried to copy the smartest kids homework but still got a F because I'm so stupid that I can't even work a pencil lol. Seriously 343...

    That's my reaction that 343's failures lol.

    But at the end of the day the campaigns work pretty good at least and there is a lot of content even though most of it is broken. Also since the game was such a embarrassment and a let down to the halo community there is hardly even a online community for the game. Like I said though... It's still a collection of some of the best console shooters ever made so you got to give it that...

    Para mi fue perfecta esta coleccion, ya que era nuevo en el mundo de halo. el 1 y 2 son larguisimos. Ya el 3 y 4 mejoran graficos pero acortan campaña. Aunque con el 2 hicieron un trabajo espectacular con las cinematicas.

    I've been a fan of Halo for a while now. Ever since Halo Reach, I played every Halo game after that. I'm not a fanatic, but I still love the franchise. However, I was never able to experience Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, and Halo 3. I was able to play Halo 4, but only because it was on the 360. So when this was released, I got it, and I loved it.

    Broken. Completely broken. And they won't fix it. Avoid 343i products at all cost. They are outright liars who really don't deserve to still have the reigns of a now destroyed franchise.

    This game is one of the very few I have purchased that I have zero regrets. The MCC has so much content on one disc and hundreds of hours of gameplay that I have to be crazy to rate this anything lower than a 10. The campaign for Halos 1-3 are absolutely amazing. The blur cinematics for H2 were jaw dropping and the ability to switch between old and new graphics was worth it alone.

Playing all the classic Halo games at such a high resolution was a dream come true. For such a big game they added an achievement score of 6000 so don't expect to completing it anytime soon. I can not say this about many games that I have bought on Xbox but for this game I would have gladly paid double the price for the amount of entertainment and happiness I have gotten out of it.

In CE anniversary have improved the portrayal of the soldiers and all the textures are more colorful and unusual. Halo 2 anniversary did and does realistic graphics. However, 3 the old parts even though the changes in the schedule and overwritten the old game music. Because now the left trigger is the sight and not the grenade and now no one swims across the screen. But the Halo universe is special. And replay its very nice. from me 10 points
    переиздание Halo является потрясающим событием. Сначала на Xbox один лишь одной части сериала, и пришлось отпустить старые запчасти на новые консоли. Во-вторых, интересно посмотреть на игру после многих лет. Конечно Halo 3 и Halo 4 и так не плохо смотрятся. Однако, новое оборудование несколько улучшило картину. В се-летие улучшили прорисовка солдат и все текстуры стали более красочными и необычными. Halo 2 юбилей делал и делает реалистичной графикой. Однако, 3 старые запчасти, хотя изменения в расписании и перезаписаны старые игры музыку. Ведь теперь левый курок-это зрелище, а не гранаты, и теперь никто не плавает по экрану. Но по вселенной Halo является особенным. И переиграть его очень приятно. от меня 10 баллов

    Of course it is not perfect, I have encountered a few bugs here and there and the multiplayer could've been more enjoyable if more populated, but I got what I came for, the campaigns ( which include HALO CE, HALO 2, HALO 3 and 4, with a separate DLC for HALO 3 ODST). The only thing that's keeping me from giving this game a 10 is the fact of the extra pay-to-play DLC whichI would've really liked for it to be included.

    The reskin of Halo 1 and 2 are nice but they're still pretty ugly games. Age always shows a lot more on 3D games and these are no exception. 60fps isn't even stable in any of the games but 4. I think this is an engine limitation more than anything but it really stands out when you're playing game with obviously low hardware demands on a modern console and you get frame dips.

    Campaigns aren't that well made. Overall this game hasn't aged well. Hit detection is wonky. Level design is dull. Maybe part of me is just worn out because I played a lot of Halo 1 and Halo 2 when they were new, and this is really just a reskin and repackaging of those bundled with 3 and 4, but nothing feels fun here. It's all "Ah yeah, I remember when games played like this, we've come so far... wait they re-released it like this?"

    Multiplayer is really weak compared to a lot of online experiences I've had since Halo as well. It revolutionized the console shooter but its heyday is long over. Not worth anyone's time.

Sadly, the game had many issues with matchmaking and other online issues that made the multiplayer portion almost unplayable. 343 Industries had to continually update the game for months before it seemed to improve. Despite the gargantuan amount of content available on one disc, these technical problems keep it from being a truly great compilation. Without them, I would easily rank "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" with a 9 or even higher. With them, I'd have to rank the game with an 8.5 out of 10 because quality counts just as much as quantity. Expand

Halo: The Master Chief Collection also is known for it's lack of customization, lack of reasons to play (other than achievements), and terrible services. If you are a die hard Halo fan, then you probably already have this game. If you are new and you are trying to get into halo, please do not start here, as you WILL be disappointed.

    Positives: Great designs + All Halo games combined into one.
    Negatives: Terrible execution + Poor, unplayable matchmaking + No real reason to play

    There is no real reason to play Halo: The Master Chief collection due to it's constant rank resets, easy glitches that unlock all unlockable content, and very poor search times. If you get this game, you should stick to playing Single Player Campaign, which is a very well done copy and paste. However, games and designers should get good reviews for copy and pasting from earlier predecessors.

    They remastered Halo CE back on the previous gen and it still looks gorgeous on the current gen not to mention the sound upgrades and the improve AI makes it feel like a new game. (9/10)
    Halo 2 Anniversary was the main selling point of the MC collection and I wasn't disappointed like Halo CE it looks gorgeous, sounds brilliant and plays like a wet dream (sorry for that) it was buggy from time to time though with enemies spazing out from time to time. (8/10)
    Halo 3 also got the remastered treatment, not as much as Halo 2 as the graphics already looked good for its time but what they did was change the lighting to better bring out the colours, it was weird that the sequel looked worse than the previous instalment graphically but it doesn't bother me much, Halo 3 still remains the crown jewel of the MC collection. (10/10)
    Halo 3: ODST was a bit of a hit and miss, some people enjoyed it (like me) and some people hated it, the graphics got the same treatment as Halo 3 with improved lighting and stuff so it feels smooth and familiar, the gameplay is just plain awesome and the city looked so great in the first place but now it looks awesome. (9/10)
    Halo 4 is the bad egg in this saga because I personally hated Halo 4 due to the fact that the story is B.S and the armour looks too detailed, the armour in Halo: Reach was big and bulky and looked like it could stop a bullet while the armour in Halo 4 looks weak and pathetic. The whole SPOILER ALERT chosen by the Forerunners thing was a joke and I hated the sound of Cortana's voice by the end of it I was glad she's dead. SPOILER END and to top it off the multiplayer was AWFUL back on the 360 with killstreak rewards or 'supply drops' as they call it and the ability to choose a load-out just killed the halo feel of it and made it feel like COD, screw you 343, if it ain't broke don't fix it. And by that I mean Halo: Reach was the pinnacle of multiplayer and you decided to stick your hand in a blender and complain about how much it hurts. (6/10)

    All in all Halo MC is worth a buy and worth a play despite the monumental cock-up with the multiplayer at launch because like everything else, it gets fixed.

    Halo: CE retained its nostalgia with updated graphics, and is the same Anniversary edition that was released for the Xbox 360. Halos 3, 4 and ODST are all essentially the same games with some new user interfacing in the menus to tie the games together.

    But the real trophy here is Halo 2. Before the Master Chief Collection, Halo 2 was mostly inaccessible due to it being quite an old game for the original Xbox and widespread compatibility issues for the PC. Halo 2 was like watching the Special Edition of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in the late '90s: just as compelling as the first time, and somehow better. The graphics are better than Halo 4, the cutscenes are easier to watch, and all the old secrets are still in place.

    I am not a huge fan of multiplayer games. If you play Halo for the multiplayer, then for the first 6 months you may have been disappointed. The system needed more work than 343 had done before the release, and they should have waited to release. The multiplayer seems to be working now, but the wait on multiplayer is the reason for a 9 instead of a 10.

    Overall, $60 gets you 5 FPS games with over 1000 hours of play time and 50 hours of (legendary difficulty) campaign. There are few arguments against how good of a deal this is, and the games are incredible.

    I've had this game since the first month, and it was buggy as hell back then. Half a year later, various patches have fixed most of the issues, and it's in much better condition than before. Remastered H2 is quite well-done. H1 has not aged well at all and is still incredibly broken. H1 and H2 are both very repetitive. H3, H4, and ODST are much better in that aspect. This collection is worth it for those last 3 games.

    The Halo universe has an amazing background story. However, it's not that well executed in the games. I've played the games, replayed them, and re-read the Wikis numerous times, and I still have trouble identifying what's going on the games because of the constant corridors and levels that look exactly alike.

    Overall, with the bug fixes, it's quite a strong collection and still a must-buy for anyone who has yet to play the Halo series. Enjoy the collection for the single-player experience.

    Lastly, as a PC gamer, the mechanics of Halo multiplayer suck. No lean/cover, poor aiming, etc. On top of that, match making and speeds are poor.

    The problems with multiplayer definitely hurt this game and left me a little bitter towards it, but at least the re-released campaigns made it worth the purchase.

But what really bothers me is that if I'm quitting the game for whatever reason, my XBOX reputation gets directly impacted. So you are no longer free to quit unless you want to play with bad rep, and bad rep means other players with reasonable bad rep will be playing with you. Unacceptable!!! Expand

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection does a great job of reminding me of one thing: why I bought an Xbox in the first place. This game is a fantastic remaster not to be missed by any Xbox owner.

    The game in itself is great. However, even today in June 2015, the game has inexcusable multiplayer problems, which prevent me from giving the game any higher than a mediocre score. If these issues did not exist, I could easily award the game an 8.

    The game in itself is great. However, even today in June 2015, the game has inexcusable multiplayer problems, which prevent me from giving the game any higher than a mediocre score. If these issues did not exist, I could easily award the game an 8.

    The single player experience is great, just what you'd expect; nothing more, nothing less. Which is exactly what we wanted and what was expected. The Halo 2 Anniversary is especially good, switching between the classic graphics and the updated graphics goes to show how far we have come (the only issue I'd have is the jump between Halo 2A's visual fidelity and Halo 3 was a bit stark, but that's not an issue with the game, just my opinion)

    The multiplayer experience, however, is something quite different. When it works, it is great, probably my favourite multiplayer FPS. When it doesn't work, which is at least 25% of the time in my experience in June 2015, is terrible. I can go into a playlist and have to wait 10-15 minutes for matchmaking to succeed. For any game this is bad, let alone a triple A game such as Halo.

    Before the multiple fixes were distributed, I would have given the game a 4. Now, the multiplayer is better, but still broken. Therefore I can only give the game a 7. Hopefully all these reviews will push 343i to make sure the multiplayer experience for Halo 5: Guardians is much, much better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. as much as i loved the halo universe.... i cant give this anything higher then a 7....
    Pros: 4 GAMES..... FOUR GAMES...... you get every single map in all of the 4 games on a single CD and you can forge them all... i havent heard of any map pack DLC.... i do appreciate the storyline of every single halo up to HALO 4.... but at that point they screwed up...... i wont spoil it....
    cons: matchmaking is no longer about skill...... it is all about who is better to manipulate the lag, and who can use the Battle rifle better..... i havent been in a single game where the BR wasnt a mandatory choice...... then i will be playing and standing on my own little corner..... when i get head shot from NOWHERE.... i've saved the video and sent it to bungie and 343.... so i hope they will get on it and fix it......
    the infected isnt anything we are used to.... they removed the possibility of our creating our own epic infection maps...
    neutral: i havent actually gotten to play any of the campaigns yet, so i cant say anything about them, i didnt really use the forge system except to try to remake my favorite map on HALO 3, called "castle in the sky" infection... which failed horribly...... if they fix any of these issues in HALO 5 i will be relieved....

    halo was the game that got me in love with XBOX, and personally... the master chief collection combined with HALO 4, has made me seriously question my affection with both xbox AND halo....

I've had a couple of small MP issues at launch but it was minor and was then fixed and all the players were even compensated with XBL Gold, ODST and in-game content. Sony failed again to deliver greatness. All the obese gamers won't last long to finally experience something decent enough and is pretty much why they're spending their lives hating a better console while running a potato of a PC from Walmart. Great game, fantastic visuals, fantastic nostalgia and content. Now we watch Sony's unoriginal copy of "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection", they can't even get an original name thanks to Microsoft's awesomeness in the PC and Xbox side of things.

    With that said, Halo:MCC has shaped up to truly worthy of the title. 1080p, 60fps adds new spice to game play and the digitally remastered Halo 2 is spectacular. This is a great opportunity for old and new fans alike. If you are new to Halo grab a copy. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Definitely worth buying if you've never played halo because of how much content comes on the disk. Otherwise I would say pass unless you're a die hard fan...in which case you've already bought the game... but whatever.

    Multiplayer:

    I purchased this game in February, after I heard most of the initial release bugs were taken care of. However, with regard to the main reason I purchased this game, the multiplayer, I was severely disappointed. I am competitive gamer, meaning, I derive gaming pleasure from a ranked multiplayer experience. At the time I was playing from February to April, there was only ranked halo 2 team slayer. The ranked playlists were plagued with a plethora of issues ranging from the inability to spawn (when other players were, enabling them to get free spawn kills and take control of the map), games randomly ending, an unbalanced matchmaking system (a group of 1s and a 7 against a team of 10s and a 12), and no punishment for those who quit. These are just a few of the flaws I found. 343 kept promising patches, fixes, etc, however, it seemed like the patches never really fixed anything. Up until late April, I continued to play and rank up in halo 2 competitive slayer. However, a few weeks ago, 343 said they were resetting all ranks in halo 2 team slayer and adding another patch. So, all the time and work I put in to reach level 33 (not high, I know, but I put in a lot of time), was erased overnight. For what reason? I don't know. I continued to play, but, it seemed like the patch had fixed nothing. The multiplayer was still plagued by the same issues, and, there also seemed to be an issue with host lag (which hadn't been prominent before). As such, I lost all interest in the game. With regard to patches, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

    On a separate note, I had to re-install the game twice (bought a digital copy). Two or three times, xbox one wouldnt recognize that I owned the game. So, I had to re-install (which took a few hours). I'm not sure if this was an Xbox One issue, or a Halo Master Chief issue; regardless, it added to the unpleasant experience.

    Single Player Campaign:

    With regard to the single player, I didn't have any problems. That's the only part of the game that function properly.

    Conclusion:

    Save your money if you're in it for a competitive multiplayer experience.

    If you are a fan of Halo, there is no doubt you'll love this game, because it is the same good old 360 games, but remastered and playable with the XONE online community. Great game, brings back good memories, it is actually very enjoyable to revisit these games on a next-gen console. Really worth the purchase.

    6 months in, still not on dedicated servers.

    For many that was a BIG SELLING point.

    For others, it was just a Betrayal. Which, coincidentally, seems to have sped up the Halo 5 respawn timer, which it clearly should have delayed the respawn of another Halo title. It's little inaccuracies like these that make me think they don't play a lot of Halo.
