Halo: Master Chief Collection is an absolute broken mess

Last weekend, I picked up the Halo Master Chief Collection from the Steam sale with a friend. We wanted to play through Halo 1 again, but it was completely unplayable.

You can’t always join another player’s session.
Occasionally, nothing happens when starting a mission.
On certain missions the game just completely freezes.
At certain points the game locks up leaving you unable to move.

It’s just awful. Don’t buy

  • Calling it a broken mess seems a bit… dramatic. I’ve owned the Master Chief Collection for years, and have played through each game multiple times on multiple consoles. While there are some quirks to it and some features that I wanted to see implemented, I really didn’t have that much trouble with the actual running of the game itself.

    I’d recommend looking through the Steam Community for the game and seeing if anyone there has had a similar issue. Just at a glance I can see a post or two about freezing, so I’d check to see if your specs match theirs at all, or if anyone recommends any solutions
