Halo 2 got a complete visual overhaul for its tenth anniversary, and its score was re-recorded with the San Francisco Symphony. You can flip between the old and new visuals on the fly.
On Xbox One the collection launched in November 2014 with matchmaking problems. 343 Industries head Bonnie Ross apologized publicly, and Microsoft made amends by giving those who played in the first weeks the Halo 3: ODST campaign.
The PC version was announced in March 2019, and fans buried 343 Industries in pizza. It started with a Reddit user who promised a pizza to the first studio employee to reply, if the announcement happened. The community director had to ask fans to stop.
Reviewers praised the graphics, the frame rate and the sheer amount in the bundle, but criticized the matchmaking on day one. Critics give it 85 on Metacritic; players leave 92% positive out of 241,040 reviews. By our Recommended Score it is #133 of 4,736 games.
