- Affordable game for what it has to offer
- Being able to play all the Classic Main Series Halo Games
- Includes Campaign, Multiplayer, Firefight, and Forge for all the games that had it. (ODST Firefight on the way)
- Halo 2 Anniversary is an overall improvement to the classic Halo 2 in my opinion, with their fantastic cutscenes made by Blur Studios, Improved music changes (For most part) great maps/remakes added to the Mutiplayer maps, and unique neat changes to Ball score to objective modes where YOU CAN TOSS THE BALL TO SCORE NOW!
- Adding new features after all these years, like new Halo 1 cosmetics (skins/visors), new nameplates to MCC, and soon new features for ODST and Halo 3! They also improved Forge Mode for Halo 3 and Reach by adding new assets, and making Halo 3 Forge a little less clunky by adding changing physics options, and coordinates positioning like Reach Forge had!

Dislikes
- There's no ability for map voting. Some maps are great and fun, but they're some that feel outdated, spawn Positioning could be better, or not the ideal weapon spawn choices, like adding 2 snipers on a small map like Foundry can be a bit too much.

- With no map voting also comes with not enough Game Category filtering. They will group things up like Capture the Flag, and Oddball together, or King of the Hill, with Juggernant, which can make the more like objective like game modes harder to queue up for if you're itching to do some Team Capture the Flag.

- No crossplay, and switching between PC and Xbox can be buggy for certain things. I know they're promising crossplay at a later time, but until it does it will be one of my concerns since my brother plays exclusively on Xbox, which makes me playing with him a little harder, and I know if they added the crossplay feature it will get even more people to start playing the game and being able to play with more of your friends. As for the bugs, I've noticed when I returned to Xbox to play with my brother my control settings from PC wasn't transfer over and made my defaults on Xbox control settings very whack to the point of like 1 sensitivity, auto centering look, inverse camera controls, inverse buttons, etc. Also Playlist completions on Xbox won't show up for you on PC, and challenges on Xbox won't be completed after you complete them sometimes.

Overall my likes for the game collection are positive over the minor problems/missing features I think it could have, and it's been fun finally going through the games to play solo Legendary finally cause I was trash to do so when I was a kid. Also helps I can find people who has the game to play with for Campaign and Multiplayer =)
