It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Halo
On PC
With Mouse and Keyboard, Windows, Steam+Xbox live, Achievements, Friends list, VC, everything.

Edit (Nov 26, 2020) :- All games are released, running on PC, with 4 seasons, all free and included with the games, as well as all the games are well optimized and look beautiful,


Do you even need an actual reason to doubt this game, to live the Xbox Live days, Especially with the world going crazy, this is literally one of the best multiplayer games you can have fun on with friends. It really is everything you want from an solid, monumental FPS video game.
All the Mainline Halo FPS Games (Except Halo 5) are included in this package, for a total of 6 Halo Games.
Story - Excellent
Sound - Excellent (A Bit buggy but being patched regularly)
b[]Controls [/b]- Super Good (Also Improving with each update)
Visuals - Updated and Stand up to today for the most part
Gameplay - Excellent. Almost Second to none.
Modding And Custom Games Community - Hyper active and Always in Search for more People.
TIp - Join the official Halo Discord for some Extra support and people to play with.
(My Discord - Ducktape#3470 My Server - https://discord.gg/wbDwHUw )

Final Verdict - THESE GAMES HAD A BIGGER LAUNCH THAN MOVIES AT THE BOX OFFICE.
You almost have no reason to skip any game, just buy the whole collection and you won't regret it. Microsoft has also added regional pricing so the game price is also very fair regardless of where ever you live.
Cheerio !

Yes. Especially CO-OP is a bit buddy since it's a peer to peer connection.
You can Try Using Touch VPN (free from the MS Store).
And Halo 2 Cutscenes are laggy at start too.
It's definitely not a finished product rn, but after spending about 150 hours, i think i'm still in support of it. (I'm also testing Halo 3 Beta Rn and It's fantastic. It's the best one yet imo)
Note : - Halo 2 did have serious multiplayer issues with random deaths and kills, that were hotfixed soon afterwards.

TL;DR - Bugs exist, Lag and Audio Issues too, but game remains playable and enjoyable despite that.

Yep mate but people having storage issues(like me) will be experiencing serious audio issues which somehow decrease the fps on reach (idk how) but other than that this is an masterpiece

The Audio and Controls are regularly being patched, and it's aforementioned in the review as well. I never said it's perfect, but it's not completely broken to the point of it being unplayable at all (Especially Halo R and 2). Sorry if i was unclear. :MCCHELMET:

This review definitely hasn't aged great.

We've gotten two updates, and the audio is still screwed up.

Reach is very playable in single player and multiplayer. only Co-OP suffers due to ptp connection. For CE, the 3D sound effects are broken, the plasma pistol, cutscene framerate is 30 fps only and feels jittery, plasma shots look dim, but they can't fix everything in the old DUCKTAPED bungie games with a tight launch schedule before Halo Infinite launch, but essential things are getting fixes with time as well. We were playing both games on legendary and we completed them again recently. Kinda celebrating for Halo 2s launch on PC.

In a world where World of Warcraft Reforged, Anthem, Fallout 76 and so many other $60 bad games(my opinion) exist, Halo MCC on PC Stands tall as a great game for $40, especially since all those games were $60 when they launched originally, totalling for a value of about $240. Can't say the same about most Remastered/Rebooted games these days. If you want to make things better, you can Joining Free Insider flights too : D, no need to buy the game for that.

Yeah you should since reach is unplayble and the sound for CE is just as broken but without the horrible stutter
