Anybody end up getting the Master Chief Collection ?


My kids were really into getting this game today, so I decided to pick it up because Target was having this B2G1 free deal going on. The game is mostly for my kids, but I've also been playing it a bit. I decided to start at the beginning with the original Halo game. I haven't really played the original Halo much since the actual launch of the old school Xbox. When Anniversary came out for the 360, I didn't really play it, but now, in 1080p at 60 frames, it's pretty freaking awesome. I'm really enjoying playing Halo 1 again (at least so far).


My son is playing Halo 2 Anniversary, and they really went the extra yard to remake that game. The graphics are quite a bit better than Halo: CE, and the sound and everything is really improved. The cutscenes are almost jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I haven't checked out Halo 3 or Halo 4 yet.

I wish they also had remade Halo ODST, because I really like the vibe of that game (early on in the game with the jazz music, etc, etc)

I haven't gotten yet but I will. Halo was the first game I really had a lot of fun playing CO-OP with friends through the main story line.

The same friends and I will probalby go back and play through the campaigns again via CO-OP.

I got it at midnight on release (big Halo fan) and my god the launch has been terrible. I can't recommend it until the matchmaking and achievement issues have been fixed.

But, the game is extremely promising once it all works out.
