DLC is required?

I have bought Halo: The Master Chief Collection however I can not play any of the games starting with Halo Reach. Is there any reason that cause this error?

For me it didn't install all of the games at once so I had to go into the DLC section in the Steam Library for MCC and manually activate them.

you have to download them

Hey there,

There aren't any errors from what I've read here. The Master Chief Collection has all of the games included, so you wouldn't need to pay for more DLC. Everything is already in here.

You would have to download the games in-game in order to play them. The first thing you would need to do is to open the Master Chief Collection first and go to the Main Menu.

Then, go to Options & Career >> Settings >> Gameplay >> Change Installed Games.

By that point, you will see a collection of games to play starting from Halo CE all the way to Halo 4. Click on whichever campaigns/multiplayer games you want to play, and whenever you are done, click "Accept Selection" at the bottom left corner of the screen.

What's left is to wait for the downloads to finish, and now you can play these games whenever and however you want to start.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You don't have to start up the game to install the other games. Go to your Library click on MCC and then scroll down to DLC and just check mark what games and MP you want to install.

When you first buy MCC and install. It only installs Reach because that's the game that launched MCC on Steam. It's annoying, but I think they did it this way because not everyone wants all the games installed and not everyone has over 100gb extra space to install all of it so it's nice we are able to pick and choose what we want to install even if it is annoying for us who want to install the whole thing.

Thank you for all your answers however I can only download Halo 2 and only it is showed as "in library" but others starting with Halo combat evolved not. The rest of the serie is still purchasable. I dont understand what is wrong here.

You mean it quits after starting the game, and neither of them wants to run? In this case you need to install the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++.
