Reading a lot of negative threads over the past months has just made me depressed. I want to change this attitude. Looking past all the negative things affecting the MCC I want to hear from you guys why you keep playing it?
What do you like about it?
For me I like the ability to load up one game, and play all my favourite Halo games. The campaigns have given me countless hours of joy, and customs has enabled me to engage with more Halo fans.
I love the 6000 achievement points and reliving all my favorite Halo experiences in 60 fps.
MCC is a great game. It’s too bad multiplayer didn’t work right out of the box, otherwise this might have gone down as the greatest Halo release of all time.
I like that all the games got remastered and are all on Xbox One.
ODST is my favorite Halo game, and it’s a blast playing the remastered campaign.
The fact that we have 4 games in one (5, if you count H2AMP as separate), and the ability to jump between them easily is awesome!
It may have released with a broken multiplayer, but the glitches and other gripes that people have don’t really bother me that much.
I’ve only just got it actually but I have been having an absolute blast so far.
Plus the campaign playlists are an awesome idea.
And, of course, everything about Halo 2: Anniversary. Absolutely amazing remaster.

The only thing I hate about MCC overall is it glitches on MP, mainly on Halo CE as even if I release a full clip of a AR in close quarters they don’t die and yet they kill me like it was nothing. Same with the Magnum as I do the same thing and don’t get kills due to that awful glitch. And I think Halo 3 has it too but it might be me sucking at the game. I think I even have clip of it also if I don’t delete yesterday. Halo 2 A also seems to have a similar problem also as I keep getting 5 shot kills with the most OP BR known to man.

Do we honestly need a Safe-Space thread so we can bury our heads in the sand and ignore the people that are scrutinizing the current condition of the MCC and bringing awareness towards all of the various legitimate bugs/issues that are still plaguing the game? Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but the sad reality of the situation is that 343 abandoned the MCC while the game was still in a sub-par condition.
I can still enjoy playing the MCC with my friends to a certain extent but the various legitimate bugs/issues that are still plaguing the game can sometimes result in me having a very frustrating experience when playing. Sometimes I can have such a frustrating experience when playing the MCC that I decide to take a couple months long hiatus from playing the game.
Yeah I’ve had a couple of very strange bugs, like filling an enemy facing away from me with a whole clip of needles in halo 3. I followed him into a building still firing and they didn’t seem to be causing damage at all. He noticed me after about 20 seconds, turned around with his back covered in unexploded needles, and calmly floored me with a BR.
So yeah, while I don’t find these bugs to be game-breaking I hear they’re more frequent for some and I understand why people are jaded.
So far, though, it hasn’t gotten bad enough to ruin my enjoyment

I like having all the campaigns in one place. Kinda like some of the graphical updates too. Glad that one campaign bug for halo 4 was fixed. In 360 there was a marine that wouldn’t jump on the mammoth; mcc fixed that. They also made it so that you can see the special first time Promethean weapon pick up animations more than just once ever. I like that all the games had all the mp maps included (excluding odst 
). Halo 2 anni mp is kinda neat. Many of the achievements were fun. That’s about it for positives though. My negatives list is far longer and sometimes overrides some of the positive points. Like how I had to mention that ODST firefight was missing when praising the game having all the MP maps. It was an overly ambitious project that to be completely honest likely couldn’t have turned out much better than it did. It was a unique undertaking that most game developers would have never attempted… actually hold on, the 360 had a sonic mega collection didn’t it? Same basic concept, but Halo had far more content so IDK the whole thing is kinda a wash even when trying to focus on the positives. The thing is as a species we focus on negative things far more than positive things. From an objective standpoint it’s an awesome collection of classic halo games with some flaws that detract from it far more than they logically should.

Oh forgot to mention that they made halo ce playable online and brought halo 2mp back online so that’s good, but again there are issues attached like the community that only votes halo 3…
theres no harm in a positive thread as long as the problems this game still has got are acknowledged.
MCC is an alright game and would be an awesome one, if it weren’t for the problems it has. and it’s only still alright because of the awesome games it features.
i still love the campaigns and the multiplayer and i return to it every once in a while (unlike h5)

What? I’m confused. I created this in order to understand why people keep playing it, and what it did right. I am well aware of the problems the mcc faces. In no way am I trying to downplay the state of the mcc.
I love grinding for the achievements.

I think I only need like 20 more.
It’s just so awesome to play crossplaylists like flood etc splitscreen with friends,… I didn’t get the game at release so i got it working perfectly. It was so awesome to play. I liked the career, unluckables etc avatar’s,… im still a little sad i already played all the campaign’s on legendary/heroic :p.

I’m missing only 7 I think. It’s been one hell of a grind though.

Feel free to give LASO a try!
It can be a lot of fun if you’re looking for a new way to experience the campaigns.
