    The Master Chief Collection is an omnibus of some of the best games ever finished. The story of the Master Chief is an action packed space opera about surviving against all odds and several factions of enemies' ruthless attempts to neutralize you.

Halos 3, 4 and    The Master Chief Collection is an omnibus of some of the best games ever finished. The story of the Master Chief is an action packed space opera about surviving against all odds and several factions of enemies' ruthless attempts to neutralize you.
    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.    … Expand

    Even after years of patches, this remastering is still buggy and awful. Tons of glitches through out the entire saga. Many crashes also occurred. This is by far one of the worst remasters I have ever played.

    Halo The Master Chief Collection is amazing for someone who has played them all and for someone who hasn't played them at all

    + Great fan-service
    + All 4 Halo Games
    + Tons of multiplayer maps
    + Graphics remaster

    This game is essentially the Halo equivalent of Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire; new graphics and sound effects, but pretty much entirely unchanged. And that's not a bad thing.

    I started off playing single player halo 2 anniversary and was initially very impressed, but the feeling did not last long. I played around with the ability to switch from old to new graphics. Seemed cool at first, but there is one glaring flaw. If you switch modes during a cut scene you will end up terribly out of sync and miss parts of the scene altogether. The new cut scenes are indeed impressive, but why include the ability to switch graphics if it clearly isn't going to sync up.

    Moving onward.

    I made it through the first 2 chapters on heroic difficulty. Started the third chapter got about halfway through and saved my game. I came back later and it started me at the beginning of chapter 3. Needless to say I was not pleased to have to start over.

    Campaign:
    Pros:
    Graphics are nice
    All levels unlocked at the start

    Cons:
    Issues with checkpoint saves, having to start over.
    Issues with H2 anniversary switching modes during cut scenes.
    Issues with achievements not unlocking

    Now on to multiplayer. I was not able to attempt multiplayer on release day due to the huge 15GB update. Call me silly but I still think games on consoles should just run right off the bat without lengthy install times. If I want that experience I will do so on PC. PC installers are also 10x faster.

    11/12/2014 I attempted to find a match in halo 2 classic. I waited hours and nothing happened!! I tried numerous match types/lobbies and never got anything. Very disappointing and frustrating.

    11/13/2014 Attempted to find a match in halo 2 classic. After about 10 minutes it put me into a H2 Anniversary map against an outnumbered overpowered team. 4v2 Why wasn't it 3v3!?!?
    I tried another search and it took just as long. Finally got into halo 2 classic match and... LAG, lag everywhere.
    Tried yet again in Halo 3. Took another 5-8 minutes to find players. The match started and there was initially lots of lag, but it got better as the game went on.
    Throughout all these sessions it was clear that there is no ranking whatsoever. So matches where terribly unbalanced and therefore not very fun.

    Multiplayer
    Pros: None
    Cons:
    No ranking
    Horrible wait times to get a match
    Unbalanced teams
    Lag

    I would not expect this from a game I paid $63 for. I feel cheated and screwed over. This was clearly just a money grab from Microsoft. It I want to experience some classic halo I guess I will stick to Halo 2 Vista on PC and Halo 3 on Xbox360. This is not worth anyone’s purchase.    … Expand

    So now i have the chance and i've played now for 6 hours in one row.

    In it's current state the game is highly unplayable if you care at all about online multiplayer. Even if you just want to do co op campaign with a friend I have bad news for you. Halo 1 and 2 co op has about 1 second of input delay for whoever isn't host. With Halo 3 the lag and framerate is just unbearable. Halo really deserves better than this.

    As a lot of people have stated the matchmaking has to be fixed as you can be waiting a long time to find a game. Also i have experienced a drop in FPS a couple of times (but this happens on most games at some point). And the game does take a lot of space on your hard drive.

    To sum the game in my opinion if you are happy to play a game with a good campaign buy this game. If you were more into the multiplayer side of the game you would be better waiting until the issues are solved.    … Expand

    Last of Us Remastered was an ass of a remake mainly because it was a "REMASTERED" version of a game that came out less than a year ago. Master Chief Collection however, is a great game for the amount of content it has and the just the replay ability alone can hold anyone over.

The reason that I stand my ground on a high rating is in the fantastic campaigns of Halo 1-4 all woven together running at 60fps (most of the time). The difference in the framerate alone makes the experience that much more fun, and the updated visuals (especially of Halo 2) leave these games feeling fresh and far from old.

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.

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

    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

Even after several patches this problem still occurs. The Halo 3 playlist (my favourite game for multiplayer) doesn't work at all now. It acts like it's going to put you into a game but then as it's supposedly loading the map (even this takes too long - why should maps with low-res graphics from 2007 take 30 seconds to load???) it kicks you back to the main lobby. Hell, I've had this piece of crap freeze on me when I pushed B to exit the lobby!

    Completely inexcusable. 343 should honestly be sued because this is literally half a game. And after months of this **** it's quite apparent that they cannot be bothered to fix it. From their perspective why bother? Everyone who was going to buy the game already did; they stand to make no more money in cleaning up this incomplete mess.

    Thankfully, the single player seems to work fine. And the new coat of paint for the Halo 2 campaign is very sweet. The remastered cutscenes look amazing. The single player content and my love for the Halo series is the only reason I'm giving this tragic wreck of a game a middling score.

From my experience, Halo CE usually wins in the map voting, but I've gotten to play 2 and 3. It depends on the map. Having all the Halo games gives you a variety of gameplay. Also since most playlists have 40+ maps, both big team and team slayer, you'll never have to worry about playing the same map twice. All the favorites are here as well as some you've never played before. Nothing got me more excited than playing my first Halo CE match on Prisoner.

    Halo The Master Chief Collection is a package of a great franchise that graced us two console generations ago, anybody expecting anything extremely new you will be disappointed this collection is mainly for hardcore Halo fans looking for a polished Halo collection, and 1080p 60fps and high resolution textures and shadows bringing in the polish while also welcoming newcomers. Just for scope and scale alone this package is a great buy, and the loving attention this collection has received is breathtaking, 4 Halo games remastered and polished, Halo TV mini series and the Halo 5 multiplayer beta and lots of other little goodies, just amazing switching between Halo games is effortless and the menus are easy to navigate in general. So aside from a few performance problems here and there, like drops in frame rate sometimes when saving or loading(which will most likely be patched out) this collection is a great blast from the past experience and lets us know again why we all loved Halo back in the day. So if you have already played all 4 Halo games and are not an avid fan of Halo i would wait a while until you have some spare cash and want to delve into this collection at a later time, but if you haven't played any of the Halo games before you will be in for a treat, the content in this collection will keep you entertained for many months, and the story!, there is no other like it!, for hardcore Halo fans? i don 't think i need to say a word, they are already playing this amazing collection of the best sci fi first person shooter franchise ever to grace a console thus far.

Personal note, as much as I love the first three the fourth I find not as great but still a fairly fun ride none the less.

    With the single player each game has returned with there own multiplayer and that even means Halo 1's multiplayer tho if I'm not mistaken is actually the PC version thanks to the new weapons that was only on the PC release. As much fun I had playing them already I will admit, the servers on day one lack greatly, taking plenty of time to get you into a game if you can even get in one that is. Patches will fix this but as of now it's kind of a bummer not being able to hop into what ever game you wish as quick as you want.

I loved Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Reach, Halo 4, and even sort of enjoyed that god-awful top down RTS spinoff.

    343, this is a godawful way to release your game, did you test it at all? was the port done by rabid STD riddled half rat-half monkeys?

    -Terminals which provided interesting story tidbits in Halo CE remastered now require me to install, update and boot another app to view. Why? every time I press a terminal I get a jarring, immersion breaking transition to an app I can't be bothered to use, the transition is cumbersome and poorly thought out.
    -Matchmaking is broken. broken is an understatement, if I were to personify the matchmaking service it would appear as a lobotomized Neanderthal suffering from the black death and colon cancer. It can take up to 20 minutes to find a match, and when matches are found they are always unbalanced with one team given more players(and more skilled players) while the other is stuck with newbs and less players.
    -The campaign save feature is broken, after completing the ENTIRE halo 2 campaign on heroic I have a total of 0 missions completed, and a sticker on my account saying I've never even tried it. then after playing 2 missions of halo 3 on legendary I have no record of that either. Was the save file system designed by someone repeatedly bashing they're skull in on a keyboard until they die of internal hemorrhaging?
    -Achievements don't pop, and sometimes don't even unlock. Admittedly this may be the Xbox one live teams fault, so I won't come up with a witty comparison to shame the hapless developers.
    -In halo 2 the enemy and friendly AI fails a shameless amount, with NPC's suddenly freezing on the spot lowering their weapons and staring blank eyed into what I can only assume is their own internal hell from which there is no escape.
    -Graphical update is good but disappointing.

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

    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.

    I really enjoy the actual game play and playing Single player or Co-op campaigns is awesome fun. I highly recommend the actual playing part.

    The game has a large number of issues that you may or may not have experienced.
    Achievements - When I was playing thru the campaign of Halo one, for the first three levels I received the proper achievements. the game saved my progress. after the third mission I stopped getting achievements. after mission 6 I tried to bring up snap the achievements up. they would not load. I saved and exited the game and went back to it after an hour or so and discovered that none of my progress saved. looking on the mission select screen it also said I completed missions I had not yet done and had not completed missions I had done.

    I still could not access my achievements for this game or in general. just a message saying "something went wrong". I could not get achievements or look at achievement fora number of hours. After trying many other games and trying to access my achievements I was able to get them fixed eventually. But the MCC not only broke them for itself but all my other games as well for a number of hours. Did not track progress properly and did not save properly. The game not saving progress properly is not that big of a deal since you can select any mission on any game to play.

    Also I had the Halo channel app install but none of the terminals videos would play, they would just show the halo channel application load, welcome me back and then show me a black screen until I exited the application and went back to the MCC game. Un-paused and continue to play. (I was happy that the game automatically paused for me, As I was half expecting it to have continued to play with out me)

    I also tried to play multiplayer and see the redone halo 2 maps, after 20 minutes of not finding a game or any players, I gave up and played a halo 4 multiplayer game. I find it hard to believe that I was the only person in western Canada/USA that wanted to play the new remade maps in the middle of the evening. I also found the way the lay out of the various menus for multi-player to be really odd and not user friendly.

    Due to all of the problems I had plus all of the problems I have heard other people having I have to rate this game a 5/10. Hopefully they can patch some fixes to make this the 10/10 it should have been.    … Expand

    you cannot go wrong with this game. Multiplayer issues will be fixed so best time to do campain. Only issue i have is that you cannot fully change the button layout. creates confusion with other FPS.

    I always heard how great halo multiplayer was and never had the chance to experience any of the halo games myself (always had a playstation). So i was excited to see this tittle released.

    Unfortunatly the multiplayer is broken so im dissapointed but im also not sure how this kind of oversight happened. Im also confused why i cannot select a game mode in multiplayer.

    Unfortunatly the multiplayer is broken so im dissapointed but im also not sure how this kind of oversight happened. Im also confused why i cannot select a game mode in multiplayer. If i want to play Capture the flag then i have to hope the playlist hits that game type eventually.

    Ill stick with the campaign but why release a game that is essentially 50%? I would have happily waited another 3 months for a game that worked. I think the key is that another halo is in production. So most of the team is working on that game while this one is simply to generate sales and interest in that game.

    Sometime soon i hope, this game will be what i was waiting for. A chance to play through all those multiplayer experiences I missed while playing call of duty on PS3. But i guess for now ill have to wait.    … Expand

    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.
