    Why is Halo CE and Halo 2 not compatible with the Xbox One, X|S?


    Why are Halo CE and Halo 2, in their original states and the very reason why Xbox is where it is today, not backwards compatible with the Xbox One and the X|S? Yeah, there's the Master Chief Collection but those versions are buggier than the originals. I got an Xbox One in the hope that surely they would be backwards compatible with it by now after all these years, but apparently not. I wanted to experience the original couch-coop experience with my girlfriend who missed out on the original xbox and 360 era of gaming and since she's never really played shooters, I wanted her to start with the games that got me into shooters and into online gaming in general but looks like I won't be able to do that, unless I get lucky with a working 360. Just, extremely disappointed.

    HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED Classic OG not appearing in the Game Librari on XBOX ONE X

    The Original Xbox version of Halo CE is only backwards compatible on the the 360
    To play it on the One X you would need Halo The Master Chief Collection which includes
    Halo CE Anniversary

    Halo 2 Anniversary

    Halo 3

    Halo 3 ODST - available as add on content

    Halo Reach - available as add on content

    Halo 4

    And at the moment it is HALF PRICE in the Microsoft store (with ODST and Reach included too)

    Buy Halo: The Master Chief Collection - Microsoft Store en-GB

    Halo 4's campaign was ok, nothing more, imo.

    Halo Campaings

    With the new CE Anniversary I would start there. It is the start of the Halo trilogy. There is the Halo Wars game, which is a RTS style game (think Command and Conquer) and it takes place before CE, though most won't consider it part of the MC line. And
    Halo 2 is an Xbox original title, but it is backwards compatable with the 360. Just the mp nolonger works. Then the Halo 3 is the final game of the MC trilogy. You can find it used at GameStop or Ebay for $5. Halo Reach is also a good one and is sort-of tied
    to the MC trilogy. It takes place before Halo CE and where it ends is where CEA begins. Hope this helps.
