Was super excited and looking forward to playing MCC on PC with KB and mouse! Unfortunately, I had to refund it ten minutes after purchase because the text chat (J) and push-to-talk (V) keys cannot be rebound. Due to an old hand injury, I cannot play using the standard WASD config, but I have a evolved a configuration that lets me play. Unfortunately "V" is right in the middle of it. I have no idea why 343 would publish a game with hardbound keys since configuring keys has been a staple of FPS games since the 90s. I also don't see how they could get unchangeable keys past accessibility review. Someone messed up.Show moreShow less

I'm going to open up with this: I cannot recommend this game in its current state, especially please don't buy the whole collection of unreleased games. Currently I'm only referring to Reach as the other games have yet to be released. I'll try to update as this progresses The Good! The core gameplay is maintained beautifully. Reach is still Reach, it plays the same, the story is the same. However, this isn't to say the game is the same. I'll get to that. The launch went incredibly smooth, multiplayer plays perfectly despite having a currently insane population. This is a miracle, especially if you were around for the original MCC launch. The Soundtrack is still phenomenal over 9 years later. Marty did a godlike job. The acknowledgement and allowance for mods by 343 has been fantastic. When you start the game, you get two options. Play with anti-cheat, and play with it disabled to allow mods. You can't play matchmaking without anti-cheats but you can custom games with friends. There's no official tools but with tools like Assembly, we're doing just fine for now, however official tools will not be unappreciated. That said, the community is already doing wonders with what we have and it's been beautiful. So, overall. Mod support, not perfect but good, better than most games. Performance has been solid for me, My RX 5700 XT gets 300+ FPS consistently at 1080. The port seems to be technically really good. 343 did do service to the community by trying to seek out what settings PC gamers want the most and implementing them, stuff like FOV sliders, et al. It's not perfect, but they still did try, as evidenced by their regular blog posts and insider flights leading up to the release. The Neutral Keyboard/Mouse works decently well, however rebinding is lacking somewhat. Default controls kinda suck, but it's easy enough to rebind to something usable. The settings, while they tried to offer options pc gamers expect and want, lack any real video configuration options outside of resolution and don't really have any impact on performance. I can't attest to this myself but many people have issues with the audio crackling and creating a bad experience. From what I've seen, this is at best guess 10% of the community. The Bad Forge and Theatre are not in the game as of yet but will be later, according to 343 (I've heard people say that 343 said March but haven't been able to find this date myself). This continues the issue with 343, as they did with Halo 5, not understanding that Forge is not some bonus side feature, It is a core feature of the game, it cannot be skipped. It not only fuels the multiplayer but has hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of hours worth of gameplay in it. It is the most significant thing Bungie added in Halo 3. But 343 wouldn't know what Bungie did right, as they've never shown much understanding of it. I know that Forge is still in the game and cn be unlocked with mods, and I have been enjoying this myself desite being very unfinished, but to suggest that it's okay because of that is missing the point. It shows poor prioritisation of development. The game could have been released later when the porting work was complete. The new progression system SUCKS. Halo Reach had the best customisation system of any Halo, and while the customisation itself is still exactly as it should be, the progression to acquire the armour was, quote, Modernised. This means that we no longer have the wonderful point buy system, we instead unlock armour by levelling up and get given armour based on rank, and everyone gets the same armour pieces at the same rank, and because of which everyone looks like gods damned clones of each other. Oh! I almost forgot. You can only get levels by playing matchmade multiplayer or Firefight. No custom games, no campaign as you could before. So, 343. Let me ask you a question. You do know that people wanted Reach because we wanted Reach, right? Not your awful Halo 4+ ranking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Bungie already knocked it out of the park. Don't fix what isn't broken. I realise that the grind wasn't great on the original system but that can be fixed via rebalancing the system, not outright replacing it with an inferior one. Map voting is gone. What the hell are you thinking, 343? What's worse is because of this, almost every map you get in multiplayer is awful 343 made maps, not solid, well crafted Bungie maps. The playlists are all ruined because of this one small decision. Co-op netcode is fundamentally broken. Playing campaign on anything other than over LAN, otherwise the experience is unbearable for anyone that's not the host. This was the case back on the 360, too, but the fact it was glossed over is a travesty, especially since couch co-op is not an option on PC MCC. Menu system is terrible, no idea what their design was but it doesn't work. Everything is a mess to navigate and find what you're looking for. Desperately needs a redesign. Again. Matchmaking is a downgrade from 3 and Reach on the 360. We no longer can match based on connection type or psych profile, and the playlist selection provides less granularity than we had in the past. The lack of real file share is the biggest WTF. Halo 3, Reach had very easy access to community content from either ingame or web based fileshare search. It was very well curated, with actively promoted content. Lots of game modes, lots of maps, lots of user generated content to choose from. MCC you can only access user content by searching directly for the user themselves. This makes no sense, especially considering that Halo 4 and 5 both have proper file share search. What the hell? Missing out-of-game services. I feel like not enough people remember Bungie .net, with so many awesome stats. Heatmaps, records, et al. It was a wonderful service that simply added so much onto the already fantastic game. Overall The state the game is in is unacceptable, and it represents a greater problem that 343 refuses to acknowledge what Bungie did right, what the games need, and will forcefeed their systems, their decisions, their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ down our throats. Don't just blindly accept this because Halo is finally on PC. They did a lot right, but they didn't give the game as it should have been. This isn't full-fat Halo Reach, this is a changed Reach. Do something about this. Demand more. Remember that we are not beholden to the company, they are to us, we can have better, we already have had better. This is unacceptable. The MCC is the future of the preservation of the Halo franchise, and it is absolutely the right place to do it, but it also means that to do that you have to give it the justice it deserves, not arbirarily change certain aspects around the game because you don't like it. Preservation matters, not what you think is modern or better. These games went down in history the way they are for a reason, it's not worth trying to "fix" them. I get that missing features and improvements are coming later but that misses the point. There shouldnt be a wait, these features should be available at the time of release. This is the chance for a new generation to get into the franchise we grew to love, and spent 10~ years (CE to Reach) growing up with, MCC is the perfect chance to pass the baton onto the new generation of Halo fans. The core game may still be solid, but the out-of-gameplay systems are what facilitated a lot of that experience to exist in the first place. It enabled a style of gameplay to exist, and a community to build around it, and if it can no longer enables that to exist then we are doing an injustice to not only the fans but to those who finaly have a chance to experience it for the first time This series deserves better. It deserves the treatment it had back in its hayday. We don't need 343's incessant desire to rewrite everything bungie did right.Show moreShow less

-No forge -No credit system -Credits have been replaced with a tier 1-100 system, no choice in what you get when you level up -Can't see players armor in lobby -Boring rank icons -Boring rank names (Mythic? Inheritor? Nah, Sergeant. Colonel.) -No map vote (Incredibly noticeable in infected, as it is now flooded with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ maps) -Annoying customization menu -Achievements not unlocking after multiple mission completions (Enjoy completing "The Package" 5 times before the game realizes you've completed it) -Uncensored text chat that you can't close, and it blocks the screen And to top it all off, they just removed grifball as a permanent playlist. Seriously? 343 has proven that they only intend to shoot themselves in the foot at every possible chance they get. All they had to do was port the game to PC, yet they can't seem to do that without having to spit all over it.Show moreShow less

I've been waiting at least 10 years for Halo to be released on PC and Emulators never really did the job, but now it's finally here and I feel like a child again. Thank you so much, 343!!!!Show moreShow less

When I buy and start a game, I want to play the game. Not log into another account, request a code to retrieve my password, input a new password only to be told it's an old one, then finally change it, log in and be told I have to give permissions to Microsoft to access some data, otherwise I'm locked out of the content I paid for. None of these are necessary for the game to work. If you choose to make the player experience worse on purpose, I'm not giving you my money.Show moreShow less

It's 2010. Me and the boys launch Halo Reach for the first time ever as we put Halo 3 back in it's case. We play invasion and then jump onto forge world. Forward to 2011 me and the boys are high ranks. Dominating any game we enter together. We then establish a large group of players to play custom games with. We played a lot of just Fat Kid lol. But then the game mode infection came out. And me and the boys suited up and played that game mode for 2 years straight. It's 2013. Most of the boys go silent. Few play Halo Reach. Some jump on to Halo 4, but it isn't the same. Slowly but surely me and including the boys go silent. Fast forward to 2019 here i am. Playing the game that me and the boys thrived on. Though i have a new group of friends who are playing Reach. I can only hope that one day at least one of the boys will come back and play one more custom or infection game with me. Till then. It's time to relive to golden days and create new memories with it.Show moreShow less

So, this is is probably the most ridiculous reason to give a negative review, but for me it's a true game changer. I had no contact with Halo before, as it's not popular in my country, so after finishing Combat Evolved I was very pleased to discover a new amazing series. So I started Halo 2, watched the first cutscene, got into gameplay and realised that... There is no in-game subtitles. Even in English... At first I thought it's an some kind of error or bad settings. But I have checked internet for answer how to turn them on, and surprise - there is no possibility to do this in games other than Halo CE. English is not my native language, but playing with English subtitles is not a problem for me. But without subtitles, especially in loud action games, it gets very difficult to understand what is said. Really, this is a big deal for me, because I have some hearing problems and when it is in noisy environment sometimes I can't understand in my native language, not to mention any foreign. And to be honest, it is really weird, that game released in 2019, especially if it is a remaster, have no in-game subtitles. I can't even figure out reason why they weren't implemented. It is not fun to play and read game script on the second screen to understand what characters are talking about. Please mention this on shop site. There is a mark stating that there is both English dubbing and subtitles wich is not true. Please, add this banal function, this is a really go/no go for some people. For now I am going to request a refund, because I have no possibility to play this.Show moreShow less
