    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can play the campaigns of old Halo games in Halo: TMCC as well as the PvP. Starting from Halo: CE (a nineteen year old game) to Halo 4 (a 2012 game). Even Halo 4 is getting old but at least it is not boring. Halo 4 is about eight years old now but it is still fun playing the game. Expand

    Juegazos, toda la recopilacion que hicieron lo unico negativo es el doblaje en español inexixtente en el segundo juego, sin sentido alguno, y en el halo 4 el cambio de dobladores del jefe maestro, una lastima que el halo 3 odst no este incluido, muy recomendado para los fans de xbox

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection includes the first four parts of the Halo series. These Xbox classic future shooter games are the flagship for every Microsoft console. In fact, the games are beyond great, from story to visuals and gameplay. Sadly the fourth part is a bit disappointing and the visuals of the first games don´t look significantly better than the original versions.

    the game is really good and with the DLC you can get the more old game experience of halo 1-4. you can choose which game you want to start with and what mission you want to start with.
    the review for the games themselves is on their page.
    if you don't have played halo 1-4 and you want to buy, halo the master chief collection

    While releasing in an unacceptable state, 343 has stuck with and continually improved this game. Now, it is a brilliant product of excellent value. It has also enabled me to connect and relive incredible Halo experiences with my best friends almost a decade on. 10/10. Kudos 343.

    One of the best games in existence. This may as well be the only halo game you will ever need, and the best one you will own. I've been a huge halo fan for most of my life and this was not a disappointment. One thing tho, you cannot rank up in individual games, so instead of clumping all the games together into one, this game is more of a halo arcade, which kinda made me sad.

    As you play any of the HALO games included in this awesome collection in XSX, makes you realize how far have we advanced in the graphics department. it is THE game to own in Xbox Series X and definitely the FPS by excellence. A MUST PLAY.

    The game has bad flashbacks to 2014 but other than that it is now astonishing, I love how they came back and fixed it and gave the game another shot! Halo 2 Anniversary runs in damn 4k and the Forge in Halo 3 is more expansive than ever!

    These reviews are only for the 4 mainline Halo games as Reach & ODST don’t come pre-installed in this collection, I’ll review them at a later date on my 360.

    Halo: Combat Evolved -
    This wasn’t a fun way to start the series for me.. I hope this doesn’t discredit the rest of my reviews here but I didn’t like this game.. the story is good & the soundtrack holds up but that’s where the positives end for me.. for the Master Chief collection it would’ve been nice if they fully remastered this game too cuz it seriously needs some fine tuning after all these years, even with an enhanced version I still can’t get past a lot of the flaws here. This is a issue I have with the series as a whole but I’m not a fan of the physics. Yeah, jumping 10 feet in the air, having Moon gravity for vehicles or when you get melee’d by an enemy is funny sometimes but.. when it’s the cause of deaths is when I have an issue.. nothing will ever be worse than the vehicle sections in the first Mafia game but DAMN do the Warthog sections come in a close second for worst driving in a game ever. Especially the last one, I nearly tore my hair out. Not a fan of the control scheme either. I beat the game in about 5 1/2 hours even with the amount of times i got lost in the empty environments. Were they going for open world but gave up halfway through? Ugh. Don’t let your nostalgia cloud your mind on this one, I can see this getting a full remake in the near future & I think it would be much better for it. 4/10, maybe a 5 if I’m feeling generous some days. Halo 2: Anniversary Edition -
    Halo 2 was the only game I never got to play from the original series since I never owned an original Xbox. I played the remastered version why wouldn’t I? The game looks STUNNING in its updated glory too, on par with some games coming out today. I love the feature they implemented for Combat Evolved & 2 that lets you switch between the OG visuals & the updated ones with the click of a button, it’s a cool little feature I wish more remasters would take on. The story is more fleshed out this time, as is the gameplay. They improved upon everything from the 1st game, the mark of a good sequel. I really enjoyed how we get to see the Covenant’s side too, it’s always fun to play as the bad guys, especially when they’re aliens! The physics still aren’t my thing but from game to game they seem to be toned down a little more. It’s been talked about to death but the ending leaves a lot to be desired, the painful part of being the middle chapter in a trilogy. If I had to wait 3 years for Halo 3 like I’m sure many of you did back then, I’d be mad too. Still, it’s a 5 hour campaign that’s a ton of fun! 8/10.

    Halo 3 -
    Both Reach & Halo 3 made up a lot of my childhood. I sunk HOURS into the multiplayer modes with my little brother over the years & I have the fondest memories of 3 more than any other, so did the nostalgia hold up over 10 years later? YUP. This is still my fave in the series. The story never stops which can be exhausting in other games, but I finished the campaign in a little over 4 hours (shocked myself on that one tbh) & it’s consistently engaging with obviously massive stakes that I can finally appreciate as an adult. Somehow they improved everything even more since Halo 2. The linearity might be an issue for some but i appreciate Bungie making these games less open over the years. The short story might be an issue, I would’ve loved to play hours more of it but if it can cause such a good reaction in me in a short amount of time, I’m glad I experienced it. I would’ve loved to see this entry get as much love the other remasters got (despite it still looking great for a game from 2007, wow I’m old) so maybe someday we’ll get a remake of this one too. 9/10!

    Halo 4 -
    So I never actually played this one, I watched my lil bro play it when it came out &.. we both hated it. Now almost 10 years have passed & I’m playing it for the first time, I definitely don’t hate it anymore. However, it’s still flawed. The visuals are still stunning to look at, despite being a late 360 title. The soundtrack stands out a lot too, but all Halo games have bangers. They did change the gameplay a bit though, Chief can run now & they seem to have played with the physics again, not for the better imo. The story is more cinematic which is both good & weird to me. Some parts just kinda made the game feel more generic, something Halo never was in my mind. Seems like 343 had a lot of big ideas but only paid off a few of them here. The enemies are more bullet spongey than in other entries, & it definitely got on my nerves. Overall, it’s not bad, I’m glad I finally experienced it first hand. Visuals & soundtrack are solid, gameplay is good with some annoying as hell parts & enemies, & the story had so much more potential even with a decent pay off. Campaign took me a lil over 5 hours. 6/10.

Kampanja je fantastična, svaka igra sadrži izuzetnu priču i likove, kao i veoma žive MP mape. Napucavanje je odlično, a mape su raznovrsne. Muzika je u svakoj igri u kolekciji priča za sebe, maestralne kompozicije doprinose antologijskoj atmosferi.

    In terms of value, MCC is unbeaten as you get access to multiple masterpieces both in terms of campaigns and multiplayers. The problem is MCC takes away many features from the individual games and adds problems (mostly multiplayer orientated). For example, the aim assist is way too strong in MCC which lowers the skill gap tremendously and can lead to a lot of trades and unfair gunfightsIn terms of value, MCC is unbeaten as you get access to multiple masterpieces both in terms of campaigns and multiplayers. The problem is MCC takes away many features from the individual games and adds problems (mostly multiplayer orientated). For example, the aim assist is way too strong in MCC which lowers the skill gap tremendously and can lead to a lot of trades and unfair gunfights when its controller vs mnk. Another issue is the MCC progression system, the level system is so boring it hurts and gives you no incentive to level up besides a slightly different icon instead of having unique levels like reach and 3 which help you to unlock new armor and stand out. Also, the way to unlock armor is as boring as it gets with a battle pass style system where you just unlock things in a set order pretty much instead of the reach style where you save up credits and level up so when people have rare items they are unique but in mcc everyone has these items. 343 Also decided to get rid of map voting/veto which sucks. Overall, for me at least multiplayer is not as fun as it was back in the day.
    Another HUGE problem is co-op campaign, if you dont host you will have a lot of input lag and delay for some reason which makes it very annoying to play, this is the worst on halo 2 where the lobby will crash all of the time forcing you to restart the mission. The original games didnt have these problems.
    I love the Halo franchise and MCC is great for allowing people to play all of the older games but the multiplayer is a huge downgrade from the original and the campaigns can be unplayable in co-op. :(
