Do you remember a time when all your buddies would sit on the couch drinking Jolt Cola and eating Pizza together? Those special moments that defined gaming in the early 2000's is what brought all of you together as friends and for the vast majority of us; Halo is where it all started (When it comes to couch CO-OP FPS that is.)! With that said Ill share some Pros and Cons I've noticed within the nearly 2000 hours I've played Halo MCC.

PROS:
1.) Halo CE - Halo 4 are included in the Master Chief Collection.
2.) Reach is thrown in as well so if you missed out on it in 2010 be prepared for a great time.
3.) This rendition of Halo is still being updated and content is still being created thus allowing us as Gamer's to keep grinding and coming back.
4.) Forge mode is back and better than ever for creating custom games and precise maps for you and your friends to enjoy for countless hours.
5.) Custom Browser is now included in the game so you no longer have to resort to Reddit to find customs. (For those of you who know what I'm talking about).
6.) $59.99 for 6 games at 5-7 hours per campaign is an unbeatable deal especially since this game is frequently on sale during Steam sales.
7.) Anti-Cheat system is amazing at keeping Cheaters out of multiplayer matchmaking.
8.) Modding is made incredibly simple for those of you who love tweaking your game files.
9.) Overall a very well written story line with amazing back story and plenty of Lore for everyone to explore.

CONS:
1.) Depending on your Graphics card you may run into some rendering issues. This problem has occur'd with both my Nvidia series and AMD series cards. (RTX 3080 XC3 ULTRA and VEGA 56 cards)
2.) Game chat is bugged currently so it may be hard to communicate with teammates in Matchmaking.
3.) Since this game is published by Microsoft you do need to have an XBOX Live GamerTag linked to your steam account OR Create a free account upon logging into Halo MCC for the first time.
4.) Hit box on the HALO 3 Scorpion is bugged meaning if you get a direct hit with the tank shell sometimes it will not register; my advice would be to rely on splash damage.
5.) Each game does have specific mechanics that relates to the Particular title in which your playing. (I.E. Halo 2 = Laser based hit boxes as where Halo 3 = Projectile targeting; for beginners it can take some time getting used to.)
6.) Halo 2 has an UNGODLY Problem when it comes to its Legendary difficulty where as they perfected it in HALO CE. (For all the beginners out there the official difficulty in which Bungie and 343 originally designed the game for is HEROIC.)
7.) For people who are innately non competitive I advise you to steer clear of ranked matches as it can get VERY sweaty.

Overall I firmly recommend this game to any new players and returning ones as well. I personally believe to PROs outweigh the CONs. I sincerely believe 343I is giving it their best shot at giving Halo a new chance at life even though the games release was very choppy in the start; I believe Halo to be one of the greatest titles to ever be released.

HAPPY GAMING!

I have played many hours of arma and can say this game is worth the money you will pay.

Garry's Mod is in my oppinion the best game ever!

EDIT:
Okay Guys and Gals, Let's ignore the fact that when I last wrote this comment it was 2012... That was nearly 9 years ago. A strange time when I really didn't know how to create reviews, well this time I'm gonna actually Review it!

First off let me say this, this is Garry's mod essentially this is still a living breathing environment of a never ending perpetual loop of MW2 Game chat back in the day. If you didn't wake up then you probably have by now. So the servers are (At Times), packed with racism, hate speech, Griefers, strange encounters, and other fun things you normally don't see. With that said though some games are keen to it. Let's do a PRO vs. CON on this game both from opinions and facts.

PROS:

#1: (Fact) Garry's Mod was created on November 29th, 2006. I say that to say even though this game is nearly 15 years it still has a thriving community which most of the people you'll run into are regulars in the server.

#2: (Fact) The game still has a legacy browser for those of you wishing to fine tune your gametype style and networking experience.

#3: (Fact) Garry's Mod has a variety of different assets and modification tools to create your own maps, contraptions, Vehicles or whatever you'd like. Keep In mind though that the assets were copies of different assets from other Valve Games.

#4: (Fact) With Workshop being on the main title screen you can now pull custom mods off and use them in game. [If admin in the server allows it of course]

#5: (Fact) you can play on a moon map...

#6: There is an insane amount of active servers = many more hours of fun ²

#7: Sandbox lovers wet dream.

#8: Perpetually updates so it somehow; despite being nearly 15 years old it always remains fresh.

#9: With all the random crap to do you could literally play this game an entire lifetime and barely scratch the surface.

#10: I've yet to find any lag and have never known to actually experience lag while playing Garry's mod (Spec wise). No matter how crappy of an eMachine I used to play on (when I made that last review) it still ran at a minimum of 45 FPS.

#11: This could honestly go on forever there's way to many pros and I barley scratched the surface. Moving on to the Cons.



CONS:

#1: As I mentioned before there is alot of Racism, not a fan of racism.

#2: Prone to crashes...

#3: UI can be hard to read at higher resolutions for some reason. (Ex: 1920x1080 = Nearly perfect HOWEVER 3180x 2160 = to small to read even with Text at Max Font)

#4: Some game types do come and go overtime sadly.

#5: Games can be easily frozen by simply dropping to many materials into the Sandbox.

#6: Heavy amount of griefing

Honestly I can't really think of any other cons...


Overall this game in my OPINION is on a legendary pinicale that stood the test of time And won. It continues to win daily due to the amount of content creaters busting their balls off to make the game extraordinary. Albeit at the time of this re-review of Gmod I've only logged 120 more hours to the game, however within every memory I have playing in 400+ hours over 9 years I've never had a bad one. This is definitely one of those relax and mess about with your pals kinda Games, one that ultimately creates a sense of a feel-good memory fufiling type of emotion where you'll know years down the line from now you'll experience dejavu and look back on it. This games pros immensely out weigh its cons and for that reason it gets a definite thumbs up!
