Pondering on Purchase

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

So I am thinking in buying a Xbox one and Halo: Master Chief Collection or a Bundle if it exists.
But I am wondering something about the game, I know recently they added Halo: Reach, which is one of my Favorite Halo’s.

So for my Question: Do the newer copies of The Halo: MCC come with Halo Reach pre-installed or is it a DLC type thing? And is ODST on the MCC as well?

Also is Halo: Reach still good on Xbox One and can I re-redeem my old “Recon” helm?

BTW if I didn’t make this clear I don’t own a Xbox one yet.

  • As far as I know Reach can only be downloaded and isn’t installed on the disc, if that’s what you mean. Its multiplayer is available for free if you have the MCC but the Campaign and Firefight modes cost $10 (USD). - ODST is on the MCC but only its Campaign mode right now; Firefight might be added down the track but time will tell. - MCC Reach does suffer from quite a few bugs including abnormal sound quality, AI behaviour, texture glitches, and various others. Your mileage may vary but I recommend looking into some of the issues it has before making your mind up. - You won’t be able to transfer your old unlocks (Recon helmet included) to the MCC version as it has a completely different progression system; you’ll need to start from scratch. You’ll be able to make use of your old unlocks if you play the original Xbox 360 version on the Xbox One via backwards compatibility, however.

An alternative to access Reach is to get Xbox Game Pass. If you are buying a new Xbox, it will likely come with a code for a trial.

That sucks, so I have to pay $10 for campain? Is their no bundle or a alternative besides game pass?

On Xbox I don’t believe so, no, though I’m not an expert.
