Now mostly forgotten, Halo: The Master Chief Collection launched on Xbox One in absolute condition. The game was all there in a way, but it felt like something that was slammed together on shoelaces as quickly as possible rather than the definitive remastering of one of Microsoft’s crown jewels, the series.
The reason the launch period receded into the fog is because 343 Industries took charge of the project (there were multiple developers on the released game), and over the years they tirelessly added, polished, and made Halo: MCC shine. because it came Besides actually bringing it to the PC, of course.
Not only is this package great value, of A classic FPS game.This is one of 343’s additions of every pre-Infinite Halo game, including Halo 3: ODST (his one of the best campaigns in the series), and e.g. Halo 2 Broken PC Port Fix (opens in new tab), Add mod tools to Halo: Combat Evolved (opens in new tab)When Restoring cut content (opens in new tab)When microtransaction schemes sparked community grievances, Microsoft just canceled plans (opens in new tab).

This update contains numerous small bug fixes and tweaks. Have been described here (opens in new tab), and the addition of Goldenmore statues. They were first added in Halo 3, but can also be found in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 4, appearing in various missions each week and collected by shooting them. I mean, they’re not big skulls at all, but look: if 343 continues to support Halo: MCC this way, they can add all the stupid birds they want.
