With release coming next week at 11th of November, one of the most important game for Xbox One this holiday season, if not the wholeyear, is set to arrive on Microsoft's next-gen console.

Although Metacritic has been argued the last months and years on how important it is, it gives us still a mean value for reviews (which are also being argued, especially the last months ) for a game.

 

"Game" info:

- Collection of all 4 mainline Halo games, meaning:

 - Halo: CE (Meta 97: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox/halo-combat-evolved)

 - Halo 2 Anniversary (non-Anniversary Meta 95: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox/halo-2)

 - Halo 3 (94 Meta http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-3)

 - Halo 4 (87 Meta: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-4)

and additionally

 - Halo 5 Beta

 

Seeing these metas, the series seems to be in a decline critically and I don't know how much reviewers will add in the "value" of this whole package to give a review for this "game" which is more a collection than one game, yet it combines the multiplayer part into one interface which contradicts the collection scheme.

Additionally given that this gen reviewers are more conservative with giving high numbers, what do you think Halo:MCC will finish at?

100% metacritic.

Im contemplating purchasing it.
Is it 4 player splitscreen local MP? I've looked all around the internets and it seems it's only 2 from what I've read.

I will be very pessimistic, and say 93...



iTzCharlie on 05 November 2014

92 imho

95 in the US , 75/80 for the ROW.

So probably 91.

I don't know, tbh. I don't even know how many controllers you can register at one Xbox One

94, All the games will be well done. But simply doing that many games, some random bug might happen, that will get fixed within days. Reviewers don't care about the future though, and will rate it lower accordingly. Before they would have done 10/10 but some random bug that gets fixed in days makes it 9.5/10.

I also think the whole complexity will bring up some bugs which 343 perhaps cannot fix until reviews are written but this is a standard pattern in nowadays gaming.

I am mostly looking forward to how Halo 5 beta will perform, graphically and gameplay-wise.
