I've learned through NeoGaf that the Halo Master Chief Collection is also a scam post-launch.
MCC is a piece of shit title. My money was stolen from me at launch. Nothing worked right and multiplayer was completely broken; 343 released a broken game. They deserve every bit of flack they got.
I'm still angry to this day about MCC. They promised us Halo multiplayer how we remembered and that never came to fruition.
