The Master Chief Collection is a testament to the cult of fandom that Halo-lovers established around the series.įor all that’s familiar here, 343 deserves credit for creating a fans-first presentation package. Not that you’d expect anything less from a collection of games that were originally released for older hardware.
They also run at an impressively smooth 60 frames per second, in campaign and multiplayer both. If you’re looking for dry product specs: All four games are presented in high-definition, freshly remastered for their first-time arrival on Xbox One. Each game is still broken in all the right ways. Grenade/rocket jumping remains a viable strategy in Halo 2. The pistol is just as dirty in Halo: Combat Evolved as you remember. Every map from every included game and their add-on packs is available in the multiplayer mode, and each runs in its originating game’s engine. More than that, though, The Master Chief Collection is a testament to the cult of fandom that Halo-lovers established around the series. Sprint through Combat Evolved‘s Library as the Flood pour in and tread lightly through the jungles of Halo 4‘s distant Forerunner world while Promethean defenders materialize out of the shadows. You get to shift uncomfortably in your chair all over again as Halo 2‘s Gravemind reveals itself. Here, there is an opportunity to relive the unhinged thrill of taking down a pair of Scarabs in one of Halo 3‘s joyously open battle arenas. There’s a thrill here for every flavor of Halo fandom.
