The game simply does not work and with each patch that is released more of the game stops working. At first after buying the game I could not play multiplayer but I was forgiving because all these triple A multiplayer games have problems in their first week or two. I also could re experience he single player campaigns in HD so I wasn't denied all play. But after patch number 1 I can't even access the single player campaigns. Patch #2 brought longer loading times and hour long sessions for match making, when the multiplayer worked at all but still with a non functional single player option.

    This game has been a frustration and a major disappointment. 343 need to remember that their fans have played all these games before and never experienced these massive problems in the past. For these errors to persist is inexcusable. There is simply no apology or justification for releasing an incomplete and broken game. This is a discourtesy to the fans, to the creators of Halo and to 343 as artists. This collection was supposed to celebrate Master Chief and Halo, but all its done is tarnish a brilliant legacy.

    Do not buy this game until 6 months have passed and 343 have gotten their act together. The frustration isn't worth it.    … Expand

    Multiplayer does not work whatsoever, so avoid if you're looking for that til they fix it. It was also quite annoying to see Halo 3 dead last in the installation priority, even though all 4 other games were dling at the same time.

What use is having every single map if getting into a game takes 10 minutes? (Yes, I played after the patch on thursday) And the lag in campaign ruins the immersion the game has on you. Even Halo 4, a game that never lagged on the 360, took several framerate drops in the beginning mission a 360 with an outdated gpu, cpu, and 256mb of ram, ran smoother than the Xbox one did. Halo C.E.A STILL has input lag with the **** synchronous netcode making co-op STILL unplayable. The nightfall series that comes with the game looks like a **** youtube series edited by amateurs. All in all, I give this bundle a 3/10. But I was still able to enjoy the Halo 2A graphics, blur cutscenes, and its story, which brings it up to a 5. Not proud of you 343.… Expand

    I want to just start this review by saying that anyone who gave this a 5 or below shouldn't review games anymore cause just one of these games alone have just as much or more than half of the games to come out on next-gen this year. But put all 4 halo games ( with 1 and 2 allowing you to switch between graphics) over 100 maps ( including dlc, pc exclusive, and remastered) , the new improved forge mode for halo 2, the halo 5 beta, and the halo channel with exclusive halo content like nightfall for just the price for a single like destiny or titanfall and this is easily a great deal that both non and true halo fans can both appreciate. For halo 1 and 2 anniversary campaigns, you switch between the old and new graphics ( now instant ) while it still keeps to the feel of the classics and the new blur cutscenes in 2 are just incredible. Halo 2 also comes with 6 fan favorite maps remastered and the multiplayer for anniversary is given a modern touch that not only still keeps the same feel as the original but with added weapons, maps triggers, and vehicles, feels like a fresh and new game almost. And if your not crazy about change you can always stick to the classics. Speaking of classics, halos 1,3,&4 run at 1080p and all games run at 60fps and I must say, while it sounds just like a scam, after returning to halo 4 on 360 after playing on one, its clear that once you play halo on next-gen, you won't want to return to 360 as the games feel smoother and even look slightly nice. He'll halo 4 almost looks like a next-gen game. And whats even cooler is you can set your controls to transfer to all 4 games so you dont get confussed when switching. As for forge its better than ever. With all the new features from creating your own terrain hills and valleys, using blank skybox maps as a empty canvas, switches that can do things like open doors, spawn objects, trigger explosions, and so much more, this has got to be the greatest forge ever and I hope they put even more in halo 5. Now if you haven't noticed, it might seem like I'm more selling this game than reviewing and that's only because this is such an enormous steal, but it isn't 100% perfect. For customization, instead of unlocking armors, they are all given to you and you can't mix and match armor which does kill a little variety as well as progression, but more importantly, even though playing the multiplayer itself is a blast, waiting for a game is a pain in the ass. Games usually took from 5 to as long as 30 minutes and few times the game disconnected, imbalanced teams were made, and even one time all four people in a group were all put on the same team. However, that was more towards launch and 343 has been putting effort to fix it by temporarily removing some playlists to boost find games as we as updates. I mean when you have 4 games with engines from 2001,2004,2007,2012,& 2014 running on one server, your probably going to have problems, but it isn't that bad as I've gotten in plenty of matches and at least characters faces aren't melting off like in ac unity. Any way with that despite some annoying server issues and a step back in customization options, this is easily a must buy and not even just for halo fans. You get this and Xbox one and your set for the whole year. 343 clearly cares for the halo community and even though they could have simply released halo 2 anniversary as its own thing they decided to give us the whole dam series, all polished like a DVD to blu-ray collection. Halo made me the gamer I am today and it will always be my favorite series and with this it might even bring back some oldfans as well as make some new ones as it has enough for the new crowd and the veterans.

    If you played the Halo series strictly for the campaigns, then this collection is for you. The new graphics and small additions they've added are pretty cool. However my biggest issue is that I've finished each of these campaigns before - multiple times. They get boring fast and no amount of updated graphics can make up for that.

    So on that note, if you're like the majority of us and have been waiting for months upon months for a chance to play Halo on Xbox Live again (especially on a next-gen console). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. It's an absolute joke - 343 has dropped the ball so badly on every level that it's almost sad. None of the patches they've released has made any difference whatsoever for me nor any of my friends. The last one made it noticeably worse. The game launched two weeks ago and there has been little-to-no improvements. Only a continuing spew of excuses from 343 and no timetable on when (or if) things will be fixed.

    I highly advise not wasting your money on half a game. An incomplete one if that. Farcry 4, Assasin's Creed Unity and GTA V (XBO) are all out now so you have the luxury of not wasting $60 on this pathetic excuse for a product.    … Expand

Halo 1 and 2 remastered to witness the legend of the Master Chief in spectacular graphics that will take your breath away in various locations. The story is in no way complex but truly epic.

    The MP features over a hundred maps from all 4 games. Unfortunately the game's online Matchmaking system has been a major negative. The game would be a "10" if online were playable with unfortunate long lengths of waiting to get into a match. Sometimes matches disconnect for no reason or will start with uneven players on each team. Still, the Customs offer for much MP satisfaction if teaming up with friends. Forge mode and Theater of course make their return.

    The game also comes with a mini-tv series of Halo:Nightfall, a live action story bridging Halo 4 to Halo 5 when it releases next year. And finally, the game comes with Beta access to Halo 5 online MP.

    The game is packed with content and delivers is many ways. It's a must own for most as the story and MP offer so much. However it has troubles with online MP and it hurts the score from the perfect "10". If the developer, 343 Industries, can correct the problem and have it running flawlessly then the game cannot be missed for gamers. Until then, it's an 8.    … Expand

    MP doesn't work. If MP doesn't work, then Halo isn't working. I give it a 2 because 20% of the game is single player, 80% of the game is multiplayer. And we all know the single player campaigns are good.

    Had to drop my review to a 7 because of how utterly broken matchmaking and even connecting with friends still happens to be. A full week and a half in and it takes me 20 minutes and 2 game restarts to even join my friend. Unacceptable. Not to mention several achievements still unable to unlock. Campaign is amazing though.

    Online multiplayer still doesn't work over a week later and now the patch that will "fix" the problem has been delayed. That should be in there top priority list of things that need to work when the game launch's.

    Soooooo... Where do I start? Well, first of all, I have been an avid Halo player since Halo 2 (my absolute favorite fps of all time), and this is genuinely the first review i have ever taken the time to write for a game, but I feel this is necessary. To say the least, this game is EXTREMELY BROKEN!

    1. Navigating menu's is a challenge. It's definitely manageable, but not user-friendly in    Soooooo... Where do I start? Well, first of all, I have been an avid Halo player since Halo 2 (my absolute favorite fps of all time), and this is genuinely the first review i have ever taken the time to write for a game, but I feel this is necessary. To say the least, this game is EXTREMELY BROKEN!

    1. Navigating menu's is a challenge. It's definitely manageable, but not user-friendly in the least. Often times the menu will even glitch and there will be several overlays overlapping and making it even more difficult. Also, the game crashes on occasion.

    2. Matchmaking is still broken a whole week later, with random queue times usually lasting longer than any actual match you may get into. Honestly, the entire multiplayer is broken. Having friends join your party is even difficult due to the glitchy social system in the game.

    3. Back to the multiplayer.... If I wanted to play a screwed up, glitchy version of Halo, at this point, I think I would have rather preferred to play the original Halo 2, where the glitches were at least enjoyable! You all can forget super bouncing (for the most part... you can still do it, but not nearly in the same manner as before as it is much, much more difficult), swordflying, and almost all the other fun glitches.

    4. So, from what i have covered, we are pretty much left with campaign and forge. Now I havent completed the entire campaign, but as far as i can tell, it is pretty much what it is, Halo: CE --> Halo 4. I enjoy the campaign, but I sure as hell did not pay $60 to play by myself through it and call the game good. Campaign can only entertain for so long...

    5. As for forge, I will be honest; this is by far the best forge in any Halo yet, but what do you know? Its broken as well. Saving maps is a hassle in itself. You press "Save as" and it doesn't even let you name it, it just throws it in your list of saved maps as the original title, forcing you to seek out your creations by date, and that's if yore lucky! Just recently i spent nearly an hour and a half working on a map, and come save time, I press "Save as" and receive no prompt to name it as usual, but i also don't get a message saying the map was even saved. As i expected, my hard work was for nothing, and for someone who forges as much as I do, this is VERY frustrating.

    To come to a conclusion: I am so bewildered how this game has received so may positive scores... It was released in a incomplete form, and for such a large franchise, it is incredibly disappointing. If you want the game for the campaign and nightfall series, sure, go right ahead and drop your money on this, but don't look forward to any of the other Halo experiences (at least not for a while.) I wish so bad that I could give this "game" a zero rating, but I can't disrespect one of my favorite games growing up. My advice to all of you interested: Wait this one out. They are bound to fix all this trash eventually, and hopefully the game will improve, but at this point I am quite unsatisfied.

    P.S. I am unsure if i covered everything, I am just pointing out the major issues iv'e been experiencing thus far.    … Expand

You should note that Microsoft's PR team is responsible for the higher than average User Score ratings on all Microsoft games. It costs them very little to create multiple Metacritic accounts just to boost ratings.

    The Halo 1 campaign left me feeling bitter. They hardly did anything at all to it. Visually, it looks like a very old Xbox 360 game, not what you'd expect for an Xbox One game at all.

    The Halo 2 campaign was great. The cut scenes were magnificent, and very well done, particularly the Gravemind cut scene. Unfortunately the rest of the gameplay wasn't what you would expect for a remastered game on the Xbox One, but the cut scenes made up for it.

    Halo 3 campaign was just a slap in the face. They did absolutely nothing to it. Halo 3 came out 7 years ago. Why on earth did Microsoft think they'd be able to get away without retouching this game? I found myself feeling so disinterested, especially after playing the touched up Halo 2.

    Halo 4, this is where 343 took over the franchise. I had never played Halo 4 before, but when I played this game, I could hardly believe this was originally an Xbox 360 game. Sure, there were some frame-rate issues, but that didn't take away from the game. Loads of new vehicles and weapons had me feeling excited the whole way through.

    Multiplayer never worked, and still doesn't work. It'll take ages to matchmake, just to put you in terrible games (like 2v2, or 5v3). 90% of the time it will just kick you anyway, and I have great internet, so it's not on my end.

    This game was infected with glitches. Hard crashes would cause you to restart the game. You'd see weapons spinning in circles on a wall (minor). Save files would get wiped out and you'd need to restart certain missions. This just to name a few.

    My conclusion is, don't buy this game if you're strapped for cash. There are better games on the market, and there are even better games coming to market. This is a console exclusive, designed to compete with PS4 console exclusives like Uncharted 4, The Last Of Us, and Order Of 1886. I can definitely tell you that Titanfall, Forza, and Halo do not compete well with PS4. Microsoft didn't step up, they didn't do their job, and I wish I bought a PS4.    … Expand

    This is a wonderful game series that I have already played for hundreds of hours and I know I will play hundreds more. The value proposition of having all the games in one purchase is incredible and the re-worked visuals of Halo 2 are highly impressive.

    All the 0 marks, are from Playstation users, online works if you wait at max 5 minutes and is being fixed ASAP, champaign is perfect and with online working just not working as fast as people want it to work, this game is in my eyes, perfect

    4 games for the price of 1! Remastered Halo and Halo 2. These are the games that fully got me into the Xbox in the first place. Falling in love with the games all over again is amazing. Once the multiplayer issues are ironed out this will get 10/10

    Halo 1 + Halo 2 + Halo 3 + Halo 4 + 100 multiplayer maps + Local and online Co-op + Halo 5 Beta + Halo Nightfall. All superbly integrated into 1 neat package for 60 bucks! The ammount of content is STAGGERING!

    This is the reason I bought a Xone over the PS4 and I'm happy I took that decision. Every Xone owner should have a copy! Multiplayer is buggy, but I don't care, It will get    Halo 1 + Halo 2 + Halo 3 + Halo 4 + 100 multiplayer maps + Local and online Co-op + Halo 5 Beta + Halo Nightfall.

    Multiplayer is buggy, but I don't care, It will get fixed soon and I'm having too much of a blast blasting alients with a rocket launcher and plasma grenades!

    The game started off great, enhanced graphics and 4 Halo games. The problem is the game's multi player is still not working properly after a week, I have yet to play matchmaking with any friends because it boots you or won't let you join.

I'm not sure how all these people are giving it such high marks, too many Halo fan boys, don't rate something if your going to be biased and if you think a game that only has about 25% of it wokring is good then you need to have your head examined. I dont' mind paying $60 if the whole things works, but their most recent update actually took away game features, not only does it not work but now you are getting less then what was advertised.… Expand

    Mistakes happen, matchmaking doesn't work, but it will eventually. We are reviewing the full game not what it is now. even though i am a bit frustrated with this setback Wednesday a "fix" is coming so i look forward to that. I find this game very nice. The graphics are amazing in campaign. I played custom and the halo 2 sniper makes my d hard. I was a reach player and this is just aMistakes happen, matchmaking doesn't work, but it will eventually.

    Utterly broken right now, but the central appeal of four Halos on one disc is irresistible. [Issue#257, p.54]

    A bit of a disaster...Why? It's a half-assed, crudely cobbled-together product prone to crashing, lockups (and as of press time) absolutely non-functional multiplayer.

    The problems with the multiplayer modes of the game are still there, but you can't overlook the greatness of the 4 games this package offers.
