New to Halo world

Bought the Master Chief Collection on sale, Is there a manual some where? Also figured out last night the Reach was not the first release, but was the only one installed on initial setup. I am trying to figure out the controls by trial and error at the time being.

There isn't a manual for MCC but here is CE's manual for the Xbox which will tell you mostly everything you need to know.

https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Microsoft_Xbox/Manual/formated/Halo-_Combat_Evolved_-_Microsoft_Game_Studios.pdf

It gives you info on the story, allies, enemies, weapons, etc, might help get you started.

I'll be honest non of the Halo games are particularly complex really, just like any other shooter tbh.

Some community members uploaded a scan of the game manuals here on steam. You can check them out, but consider that some things might not apply or wildly differ from the OG game to their MCC version.

Things like controller schemes, online features, menu options and customization are mostly referring to how they work in their original console version of the game. The manuals are still good for knowing some lore on the universe and characters (allies and enemies), functionality of each game's game modes and info on how the general sandbox of each game works (HUD, weapons, equipment and vehicles).

Halo 4 didn't have a manual, but it plays mostly the same as Reach, except for now having sprint as a passive ability instead of as equipment.

I'm new to Halo as well and remapping was no big problem tbh.
Just finished 3 on heroic.
