Each game within the Master Chief Collection has problems running at a 60 FPS in one way or another. Halo 3 seems to fair the best, however it is simply an Xbox 360 game running on the Xbox One. Because of that, it is not nearly as technologically demanding as the other titles, even if it means having human NPC’s with almost octagonal-shaped heads.

No, the biggest problems for me, unfortunately, came in the Halo 2 Anniversary campaign; the game this collection is arguably centered around. The issues are plentiful:

  • The reflections of pools of water in certain levels cannot mirror their reflection properly, resulting in massive stuttering.
  • Objects occasionally clip through walls, including a fish swimming through a capsule inconspicuously.
  • The Gravemind level featured especially bad framerate, even bugging out near the end and phantom “rewarding” me with 1,844,575,507,370 points upon completion.
  • Mission 8, Delta Halo, consistently crashed my entire Xbox One system loading the checkpoint right outside the temple (aka, after 90% of the level had been completed). I couldn’t even open up the Xbox One menu; it would eventually hard crash and shut off by itself.

The Day 1 patch offers some critical fixes across the board (including that Delta Halo bug), but it still doesn’t do much for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Its troubles lie in the framerate (which is staggeringly bad when travelling in a vehicle and during cutscenes to the point of apparent “chugging” along), but also in odd instances of mixed-up visual efforts. For example, the design of orbital blasts of energy in the Anniversary Edition actually looks less detailed than its 2001 counterpart. They just look like a giant orb of energy, whereas the old edition featured two very distinct balls of energy. What’s even odder is that, at times, the textures on walls or objects in Halo: CE Anniversary look laughably worse than those from the past. Rare do these improvements look worse, but it does happen enough times to question how they got past quality assurance.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection Single Player Review

900p/30fps would've been better imo. As a huge halo fan I'm shocked Microsoft advocated for better gfx at the expense of gameplay :mad:

Reviews 88 on metacritc. :wtf:

The last of us remastered has higher scores (95) :rudy: :snoop: hopefully this is fixed because I'm mad.

If 900p is the better option, they needed to do it.

I still don't get how Halo 1 and 2 have framerate issues being OG Xbox games.:dcwtf:

But they are so shellshocked and shook at lacking 1080p on their games (compared to their competition) that they'll sacrifice framerate, effects, etct just to say they can do 1080p too. :heh:

You don't have hardware better than the Quad, so stop trying to fight a battle you can't win. Just make the best game you can on the system.

Even halo 4 has issues :snoop:
I'm fukking pissed, why can't they just make a good performing game. I had issues with fps on titanfall but that's a new game, this is all old stuff. I'm gonna write them and ask them to turn on the halo 2 pc servers.

not even a 90 on metacritic? :why: These issues, plus that 20gb day one download got me reconsidering my purchase :patrice:

I'm still gonna get it, just to have it (just like TLOU:R), but I dunno brehs

You said 85 is your cutoff, this is better. Get it. :ufdup:
I don't even like Halo that much :manny:

I'm gonna get it though, cuz I got an x1, and every x1 user should have this. But it might just collect dust like TLOU:R
