I’m def trying to avoid Halo 5. However, story-wise, that would be the game to play to get caught up.
I’m noticing that Halo Reach MCC is on sale for half off for Black Friday.
I’m pretty too tempted to replay it since it’s arguably one of the best in the series.
Are you going to try to replay any Halo game before Infinite?

 

[Furiousrunt]

So far Reach, 1, 2 and odst.

I'm a few missions into 3. Shame 5 isn't on PC

 

[nightmare-slain]

none but if i were gonna replay any it'd be 4 + 5. i enjoyed them more than the Bungie games. can only play Halo 4 on PC. i don't care if people think 5 sucks...it's shitty of them to not bring it to PC.

 

[DragonNCM]

Done all last month in preparation - Halo Wars

 

[Sakura]

1 2 and 3. Didn't like 4 and 5 isn't on PC (though it doesn't seem like I'd like it anyway).

 

[Gameplaylover]

None, i want the full Halo experience without feeling too used to it.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Been playing infinite MP to prepare for Infinite SP

 

[kanjobazooie]

I replayed the first few levels of Halo 1-4 on PC. Wanted to refresh my memory of the series so that I can fully appreciate the jump to Infinite, but didn't want to get burned out.

I'll probably go back and continue these playthroughs later.

 

[Mattyp]

Just finished replaying the entire saga, including Reach and 5 obviously. 5 really wasn't as bad as my memory depicted and looked stunning at 4K60 now. Repetitive boss but no where near as bad feelings as I had at launch anymore, we'll worth a replay.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Guardians of the Galaxy

 

[Ammogeddon]

I’m dipping in and out of infinite MP which dial me into the gameplay but aside from that I’m going into the campaign as fresh as possible. I’ll catch a story recap on YouTube though.

 

[Leyasu]

Been playing infinite MP to prepare for Infinite SP

Are you my long lost sibling?? lol

 

[Desless1]

All of the main Halo games, besides the mobile/spartan games.

Did them all chronological and are now in the end of Halo 5. Halo Wars 2 left and I am ready for Infinite.

 

[TheRobot]

Halo 4 to actually get back in the roots of the 343 lore.

 

[Graciaus]

None. I played most of them again when the pc version of mcc came out. Don't really care about the story in infinite just the gameplay.

 

[GametimeUK]

Over the past year I've finished the whole series apart from Halo 5. I had never finished Halo 2, ODST, Reach or Halo 4 before. Absolutely phenomenal set of games and I'm super hyped for Halo Infinite.

 

[MikeM]

I played through the MCC when I got my Series X. Not a big Halo fan at all but I am loving the MP right now and I scored a Halo Series X, so pretty curious to see how the single player campaign turns out.

I know Halo 5 gets a lot of hate but it was my favourite from a pure gameplay perspective.

 

[balls of snow]

Halo 5 and easy mode Halo Wars 2 for the story.

 

[Shtef]

I played all halos games in master chief collection and also halo 5 but i might start again on harder difficulty.

 

[Vasto]

Halo Wars 2 for The Banished Story

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I have the MCC collection in my steam library... I think that the next time I play some old school shooter I will replay half-life 2 and its chapters instead of the halo games, no way I touch infinite.

 

[Green Saber]

Just the first Halo.

Yeah I’ve only played through 4 and 5, the rest bored me or made me motion sick so I’m really not a fan of Bungie’s games. I understand that the lore could be important though so I went to a Halo fansite to read up on that:

John-117

Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, more commonly known as Master Chief, is a SPARTAN-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He is the protagonist and main character in both the Halo trilogy and Reclaimer Saga. With over thirty years of active duty service, he has become one of...

[CuNi]

All but 5 at this point. Setting up the Xbox one again to play 5 co op with a friend soonish.

 

[RAIDEN1]

I'll just check out one of those catch-up videos on YouTube, if need be.. not that I need to anyway...

 

[elliot5]

I played through all of them on the MCC + Halo 5 for the first time. And Halo Wars. Haven't played HW2 even though that's directly tied, just cuz I dont wanna play an RTS again lol

 

[Mister Wolf]

I played through the entire MCC on PC to prepare for Infinite. Its too bad 5 doesn't have a PC port.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

You aren't missing much.

 

[ReBurn]

None really.

 

[amigastar]

I was recommended 3 on Game Pass so i will do that.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

The one mainline (story wise) game I haven’t finished is Halo Wars 2, which I may try to play since it’ll explain the Banished and it just got FPS boosted on Series X. Not a huge fan of RTS games though which is why I never finished it to begin with. I did finish Halo Wars 1 before but that game seemed a lot simpler.

Probably won’t play Infinite’s Campaign anytime soon though unless someone gifts it to me for Christmas, so I have plenty of time to replay the games anyways.

 

[SCB3]

I re played all of them as they came out on PC, finished them multiple times before though

But I've never finished either Halo Wars game, so those

 

[Kacho]

I played Reach recently on my Series X but the lighting bug kinda ruined it.

Might install MCC on PC and finish it up there.

 

[Yeagerist754]

Gameplay of Halo 5 was decent. However, story was dogshit.

 

[Sakura]

How the hell do I install individual Halo games on PC?
I'm pretty sure I was able to the last time I tried, but now I can't even install Halo CE because it says I need 160GB for the whole damn MCC

 

[RPS37]

Update: Reach on MCC looks pretty nice on XSX.

 

[EDMIX]

Did they end up getting all the Halo games on MCC on PC? I might pick that up, but I might just wait as I don't even have enough time to fucking play shit I own now lol

Does MCC still have a community on PC? I don't know if I care to replay the single player as I think that ship has sailed and I don't think I'll get those middle school feelz from the IP anymore lol, but I do care to jump on the MP for some nostalgia at least.

 

[LaughingStock]

I decided to give Halo 5 another chance since it's 60 fps on the series S/X.

 

[Investor9872]

All the campaign on the Master Chief Collection: 1, 2, 3, 4, ODST and Reach.

 

[BizarroPete]

Never played Halo Wars 2 so I've been playing that. I'm not really an RTS guy but I'm enjoying it.

 

[aries_71]

Update: Reach on MCC looks pretty nice on XSX.

Playing Reach on XSX I get frequent screen artifacts, like when a gpu is overclocked. Found out in Reddit that this is a common problem, maybe since the 4K update to the dashboard. Didn’t happen to you?

Not at all that I’ve noticed.

I’m so tempted but I haaaaated those boss fights.

 

[Lognor]

Playing halo 4 for the first time. Pretty good, which surprised me. I hate these new enemies though

 

[LaughingStock]

I’m so tempted but I haaaaated those boss fights.

That's the reason I stopped playing the game on the xbox one years ago.

 

[Havoc2049]

I just finished The Master Chief Saga Playlist on MCC. Now it's time for Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2.

 

[JordoftheDead]

Just the multi. Plus this is the first time my kids are old enough to appreciate a new Halo release and my little dude loves training against bots on easy mode.
