Halo: The Master Chief Collection, it's hard to sum up what makes this collection of games so good. I guess there's a lot of nostalgia, so many fond memories of playing through the campaigns with friends.

PROS:
+ Ability to buy/install only the games and modes you want
+ Up to 4-player co-op, depending on game (LAN, Online)
+ Limited cross-platform play (Multiplayer, Firefight, Halo 3 Campaign, ODST Campaign)
+ Great visuals, most of the games have aged well
+ Outstanding soundtrack, thanks to Martin O'Donnell
+ Great replay value

CONS:
- 343i & Microsoft
- Easy Anti Cheat (EAC)
- Halo: CE Anniversary has a memory leak (introduced: 8ᵗʰ December 2022)
- Split Screen not included (may be added at a later date?)
- Poor net code, co-op can be unplayable due to lag
- Limited cross-platform play (Multiplayer, Firefight)
- Halo: CE Anniversary is based on the original PC port
- The Exchange is a unnecessary time-gated unlock system (FOMO)
