The Halo MCC will continue to sell over the lifetime of the XB1, even after Halo 5 & 6 come out.

The game is very much worth it for Halo fans, such as myself. Especially for playing Halo 1 online with friends or Halo 2 campaign online co-op. Also Achievement hunters can have a ball with it.

curiously, i could not play halo MCC (disc based) but could happily play the witcher 3 (Digital) yesterday.

Server issues are going to happen from time to time. know what i did when i couldn't finish halo 2 co-op? went to actually meet with friends outside. which was a lovely change.

Why is there no local (system link) co-op? I can't connect to their servers to play multiplayer with my friends and there's no way to play co-op without connecting to ea servers.

Yeah every game should have matchmaking for co-op! Maybe I just got spoiled from playing halo and vegas 2 but I believe every game that has co-op and online play should have a matchmaking system! for one because if your friends don't play that game. also
I shouldn't have to go out of my way to come on the forums to add tons of randomly people I don't know to my friendslist just to be able to play maybe one match with them and never play again with them. co-op matchmaking should be in all games that has online
co-op......

[/quote]Halo 3 and Vegas 2 didn't have Campaign co-op matchmaking. And no games shouldn't need matchmaking for co-op. Not being able to find enough friends to play a co-op game with is not the fault of the game.
