I feel like some people in this thread need a history lesson: 100 Day Timeline of the MCC. Keep in mind that's only 100 days after launch. During the 100 days that followed, the game received several more "patches" that managed to stop the game from crumbling beneath itself. Apparently that was good enough for 343/Microsoft to ghost on the project. It's been almost two years since anything has been fixed, despite the current state of the game, despite a post from Frankie claiming that "everything is planned to be fixed."

If anyone would like some more refreshers on the timeline of the MCC.

• A summary of how 343 handled the months leading up to the MCC's launch.
• An example of someone's matchmaking experience, two months after launch. (Jan 2015)
• 343 announces beta patch, delays it, then cancels it. (Feb 2015)
• MCC HCS Cup cancelled because of joinability issues. (April 2015)
• The MCC's final big patch made Halo 1 mulitplayer unplayable. (May 2015)

"The Stewards of Halo"

 

[mrg6290]

Campaigns were solid. Coop had very few problems. Worth every penny (paid $30 I think).

 

[Magwik]

Think I paid $10 - the only serious issue I encountered when playing through all of the campaigns was the odd audio mix on Halo 3. But, I'm not invested enough to be bothered by the little things that irk devoted Halo fans. Most certainly not a scam from my perspective.

"Worked for me post dozen patches and at $10, so everything is fine and Halo fans are making a big deal out nothing"
C'mon man

 

[BlitzBlake]

Time to move on bro. Missed opportunity sure, but it's done now.

 

[ResidentDante]

I played it for the singleplayer games enhanced in resolution and framerate, enjoyed it a lot! Recently played Halo 4 with a friend coop in it too. Fun and really nice with the technical bump over the originals!

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

No not at all, game is the best value for money you can find out there.

Still has issues, but I have found my recent experiences with it to be a very pleasant one.

It's an essential package for those that have an Xbox One.

 

[gohepcat]

Had a ton of fun playing co-op with my friends. One of my favorite buys this gen.

 

[NFX45]

Nah, I've greatly enjoyed it, a little bit of multiplayer and going through the campaigns with a buddy or solo is awesome.


I waited until the White Xbox One MCC Bundle before jumping in, so it was after quite a few updates though.

 

[Hardvlade]

I bought it day one and even though multiplayer was broken and the lack of system link. I still had a blast going through all campaigns (1, 2, 3, 4 and ODST).

Multiplayer is decent now a days, not perfect but much better than launch. Every now and then I'll boot it up and play a few matches. I just wish it had system link

 

[Hitta93]

Is that a real easter egg?

"The Stewards of Halo"

The Stewards of Halo indeed, Kappa.

It's funny how some are defending this so hard. The game was broken at launch and idc how you bought it for 5 bucks 3 months ago and campaigns work. I bought it for 60 and it was a broken POS. And I'm still angry about 343 obliterating the Halo fan base.

"The Stewards of Halo"

People need to look at these threads again and remember why some of us hate the MCC as much as we do.

 

[Hardvlade]

If I remember correct it used to say "Remember Reach" with a soldier there instead of Master Chief.

Whoever made that picture either modded ODST or did a really good job editing that picture.

 

[secretanchitman]

Yep it totally was a scam. I returned my first Xbone because of how broken and unplayable it was for me.

Eventually I got the digital version for less than $10. The game is better than what it was at launch but it still needs work in almost every area sadly. I honestly hope 343/Microsoft is working on a full re-release for Scorpio but I doubt it at this point.

 

[a.wd]

nah had some problems but overall a great collection.

 

[GankzyMcfly]

Yep it totally was a scam............

Not sure how something goes from being a scam.... to not being a scam...perhaps it was never a scam but just a game with issues?

Seems like the word "scam" is just being tossed around as a word for games that fail to live up to expectations.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Scam? fuck no.
Shame? Fuck yes.

 

[TRD Mr Blonde]

It still not anywhere close to "exactly as I remembered it".

 

[Unity2012]

I bought the collection for the SP campaigns and enjoyed every minute of them, still do.

 

[Feel_The_Pain]

Can't wait to see this on scorpio.

 

[Jafku]

So did anything come of the Halo MCC survey? A fix would go a long way of curbing these accusations of MCC being a scam
