Pass on Halo The Menu Collection

This game has been out for over two months and the multiplayer still doesnt work. This game is pure garbage. Ive been a huge fan of the series since the first iteration, this is so dissapointing.

I got halo 5 because I loved playing the 4 player splitscreen that the other halos were famous for. What I didn't know is that in order to get more money most games make it to where you have to buy another Xbox and another TV just to play with your friends. Im very disappointed by what halo has done and intend on selling to gamestop

i waited 12 years for this to come out just like everyone else,  disappointed with this game!  Single player campaign is way too short.  I think it took me 17 hours  to beat.  Mostly because 75% of the missions have 30 minute time limits.  This game is very much geared towards the people who have played and mastered the game.  Even set on slow pace the game is fast and you really need to pay attention and use the hot keys to help you play.  The old gem was way more fun and  you could slow things down and take your time to plan and prepare for a battle.  here you need to rush through everything at break neck speed.  The graphics are solid and easy to navigate around the map.  the story line is solid and entertaining.
The game is also more geared for online multi-player mode.  there are tons of maps and battles to join online, since i am not really into massive online play i didn't really get into it.  They set it up to be kind of like halo in this aspect and thats too bad because it left the campaign or single player mode something to be desired.  It was not very long, it was a bit repetitive and needed more maps and missions for the price.

So underwhelming and missing much that, in comparison, the 3.5 Edition Screen had to offer.  I agree its not the same game however that panel on random generation couldve been replaced with something more useful, like fundamental actions in combat, turning undead table / short rules. All in all, not worth getting imo.

Do not waste your money until the get this fixed - if they ever do. I have been a fan of Halo for years but I'm done with it. 343 is nothing but a disgrace. I bought this the week it came out last month and it's been total garbage. I've played maybe 10 games at best. They refuse to figure out what's wrong with it more or less and aren't offering to give their customers - their fans - any kind of payback for buying such a broken game. You will be disappointed.

Y'know what's difficult, if not outright embarrassing, to not be able to do? Give an accurate rating for a video game.
I honestly don't know what this game is like from personal experience. It's $7 of junk until I hunt down an XP/Vista system.

Don't take my word for it? Here's a link to the Windows Compatibility website:
(...)

That will open the search for the game "Warhammer Battle March". If you'll note, it is not even included as to whether it is supported or not.
If you have no access to an XP machine or a 32-bit Vista machine.

This is NOT a rating for the actual product. I'm just upset that it is not supported on newer OS. For a reference, I can play Battle for Middle Earth 2, Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, and Halo with absolutely no problem(s), so it came to me as a surprise that something newer just doesn't even work.

Maybe this will help one or two of you.

I think I've been spoiled by Halo.  Medal of Honor Frontline plays terribly and looks pathetic compared to the Xbox's #1 game.  The graphics look like a direct conversion of a playstation 2 game (nowhere close to Halo's use of the xbox system's hardware).  Play control also suffers:  Ever notice how on Halo, when you want to spin around really fast, the analog stick allows you to do it by just pushing to the side as far as possible?  Not so in Medal of Honor:  try turning around really fast (to shoot someone who is shooting at you in the back...), and you might as well forget it, because it takes a couple of seconds to spin around 180 degrees.  And no, there is not a "sensitivity" option.  Sniping/zooming-in is also done poorly; I find it harder to hit when zooming-in than when not. After playing through the first two missions (including the supposed "best" D-day mission), I turned the xbox off; the gameplay is that terrible.  The actual game missions/scenarios seem cool, but the actual gameplay spoils the fun.  I wanted very much to like this game (waited eagerly for several months), but I will be trading in my copy (still within my 14 days) next week on another game.

My sons were really looking forward to playing this, but were extremely disappointed they can no longer play in split-screen mode together with this version. We'd assumed this was a standard feature of Halo, like all the previous versions, and apparently didn't research the features thoroughly enough. So now we're out $60, and they've moved on to other games while Halo collects dust.

I know it's only been about six months since launch (I bought mine in March 2014) but there are still very few games or noteworthy apps for this system. I'm starting to feel let down by MS. Titanfall is fun, but it's also out on the 360 and plays pretty much the same, which shows you how 'next gen' that game is. What else is there that I can't also play on the 360? Ryse?  Meh.  I'm looking forward to Destiny, Elder Scrolls MMO and Halo, but those are still months away.

Voice activated kinect commands work about 2/3 of the time.  Unfortunately, probably the most useful voice command (turning the system on) seems to be the least accurate. Have fun generating smirks from your friends as you shout "XBOX - ON!" over and over.  Gestures are useless.  YouTube app, which could have been awesome, does not support voice search commands.  Too cumbersome to search with the game pad.  The Verizon TV app sounds great for folks like me with FIOS, but since the XBOX doesn't support HDMI passthrough (and never will) the XBOX has to be fully powered on to use it.  No thanks.

Bought this so my son and husband could play together as they have with EVERY Halo game. You can't play two people on the same console with this one. Very disappointing.

Game freezes in more than 1 place and early into game play.  Same issues have occurred in Giants and Swap Force and activision doesn't care to fix them.  One solution is to play a certain level as quickly as possible and not collect any items.  That is crap for kids to be able to do.

Me and my best friend both got the game at the midnight release and played it for about 16 hours straight trying to get full completion. The campaign is great of course. I'm one of those people that played the Halo CE Trial on PC when I was like 12. I then moved to the full game; beat it on legendary multiple times; then moved to  Xbox 360 and downloaded it off Xbox live. Any way I'm a huge halo fan and I loved the redone graphics. BUT! I am extremely disappointed that they didn't bring back the original multiplayer. I was one of many people I'm sure that was really excited to get my Magnum out again and start taring into people. And then I get the game to find out that they just made a couple more maps for Halo Reach Multi. and called it good! All I can say is they had better come out with it later or I'm going to be pissed for a long time. If it wasn't for that this game would have gotten five and five stars from me.

The interface is horrible... it's like the Windows 8 start menu. :( Having to install EVERY game to the hard drive sucks. DLC, Disc based games, and games purchased through Xbox Live ALL need to be installed before they can be played. 500GB isn't enough for my son.... 1TB isn't even enough for the games we own. Had to purchase a 4TB USB 3.0 7200RPM external hard drive, and it causes the Xbox One menus to lag a bit. (works great when playing games, though) No Xbox 360 games work on this system so we still have to keep that old thing around until they update it for backward compatibility.... 100 Xbox 360 games are said to be supported by the end of the year; hopefully this will happen.

UPDATE 6/24/2015: I signed up for the "dashboard preview" program and now have access to several Xbox 360 games I purchased on that platform. I've tested Banjo-Kazooie, Zuma and a few others and this backward compatibility update is pretty amazing. (everything I've played so far has played flawlessly.) As of right now, here are all of the games that are available to preview members:
A Kingdom for Keflings
A World of Keflings
Alien Hominid
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
BattleBlock Theater
Defense Grid
Geometry Wars
Hexic HD
Jetpac Refuelled
Kameo
Mass Effect
N+
Perfect Dark
Perfect Dark Zero
Super Meatboy
Toy Soldiers
Toy Soldiers Cold War
Viva Pinata
Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise
Zuma

Please heed my warning about this game.  I did not listen to the other reviews and now have a $13 paperweight.  This DOES NOT work on anything except for Windows Vista.  It WILL NOT work on Windows 7.  I tried just about everything and still it would not work.  I would like to know why Halo:  CE worked perfect on my Windows 7 machine and nothing with Halo 2.  You would think it would be just the opposite.  Oh well, I guess that's what we should expect with Microsoft.  Go figure, something like Crysis 2 runs flawlessly on my laptop on the highest settings, but when it comes to Halo 2, blah.  Thanks again for another outstanding product Microsoft!

The update loading screen is epic! Best $20 I have ever spent. Can't play the game though!

Longtime bungie fan finds some time in a busy life to play the next gen shooter. Jokes on me because you can not play without the game updating which is a 6 hour process despite my very fast internet. Wait, you can't play offline at all?

Last bungie game I will ever buy. I would give zero stars if i could. I'd rather fire up Dr. Jekyle and Mr. Hide. At least I am allowed to play that game.

The missions are VERY long and there is NO IN-GAME SAVE. When you die in a mission you revert to the last checkpoint but you cannot save these between sessions. As an older gamer I just don't have the time to devote to completing a mission everytime I pick up the controller. Sorry, I would not have bought this game had I known this and will not buy further games from this company or series before I find out if they rectified this. I can forgive the stupid movie before every mission that you can't skip as I just go get a cup of coffee when it starts up. What idiot at Criterion decided we needed to see the cut scene EVERY FRICKIN TIME we wanted to play the game? Still, this is minor to the no in-game save feature. And why no jump or lean ability? Is this 1985 all over again or haven't the developers read people's comments on other FPS's or at least played HALO for 5 minutes to see what great controls are like? Coupled with the overly long missions, this was a serious error in design.

The custom start up and eject sounds are very bad sounding. Either the speaker that makes the sounds is very low quality or broken, or the sounds that it plays were poorly recorded. It looks good. They could have chose a better design to represent Halo, but that wouldn't be the only thing that Microsoft and 343 messed up with Halo 5. Other than that, I am not writing a full review on an Xbox One is. Too lazy. Just do some minor research on your own to see if this is the platform for you or if something else is better for you.
