This is my original review posted to Steam on April 20, 2022, with 65.2 hours logged at time of review.
Let’s start off with the statement that the Halo franchise is hands down the best one out there. I owned every Halo game on the Xbox — completed all the campaigns on Legendary, and played hundreds of hours in multiplayer.
The instant I heard that Halo: MCC was coming, with not one but every Halo game since Combat Evolved through Halo 4, I knew I was going to buy on Steam. Adding the ability to mix and match all the campaigns and multiplayer games and maps into custom playlists makes this game a 10 out of 10 for me.
The game play is smooth, the campaigns are even better than the original formats, and for the most part the multiplayer battles are awesome. The Anti-Cheat feature is also a welcome addition.
Out of a possible 10, being best, I give it a 20 — 2× as good. This is the best re-release of any game I’ve ever seen. Just perfect in my opinion.
Verdict: Recommended — 65.2 hrs on record
