<center>**Halo MCC was released on PC and has two games available to play Halo Reach and Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary. First, In this post, I'm going to be starting with Halo Reach since it's the first game in the timeline, and the first thing PC players will be able to play when they first install MCC on their PCs. For this review, I'm going to be focusing on three things the campaign the multiplayer and the PC pour itself and how it holds up compared to other PC titles. I'll try not to talk about the campaign too much since and I don't want to ruin the experience by spoiling the story but with that out of the way let's get into the review.**</center>

**The story takes place right before the events of Combat Evolved which means it's a prequel to the main story you play as noble six and the recruits a noble team a group of Spartans tasked to defend reach from evading covenant forces and to prevent the fall of the planet reach you'll get to know each member of double team as time goes on since you'll get to fight alongside with each member at least once despite this being a prequel to the main story of halo the story is very friendly to newcomers since you don't need to know anything about the previous Halo games to enjoy reach the graphics may be outdated but that's only because it's a port of the Xbox 360 version of Halo Reach the PC and not necessarily a remaster. if you're a story-driven person that doesn't really care about graphics then you'll enjoy halo reaches campaign.**

**It's definitely not the best campaign in the franchise but it's good enough for replayability. I still come back every now and then just for the campaign the soundtrack is one of the best in the franchise and makes any encounter with the company even more badass than it would be without it. On top of that you could play the campaign with up to four people online unfortunately the PC version does not support the split-screen at the moment I do hope this comes to the PC version soon but for now, only console users can play couch co-op. Another cooperative experience is firefights a wave based game mode that places you and four other players into a warzone with the goal of surviving the waves of Covenant the game throws at you if you were a fan of killing 4 left 4 dead or special ops from the modern warfare series neo like firefight it's hard to explain the campaign without spoiling the plot of the story but I'm sure anyone who hasn't really played this can tell you that the campaign is worth trying at least once if you go into other reviews of Halo Reach's multiplayer you'll find mixed reviews this is one of those experiences where you'll either love the gameplay or you'll hate it there is no main game mode in Halo Reach but the most populated game mode is slayer which is team deathmatch for Halo eight players split the two teams a forest fun the map and fight to get the most points the game features different armor abilities to play around with such as sprint jetpack active camo bubble shield armor lock etc. you will spawning with the same weapons and will have to fight to get better weapons other game modes like capture the flag and king of the hill are self-explanatory but there are game modes like Grifball which is basically football and halo and Fiesta where you'll spawn with random load outs every time you spawn will keep the game fresh there's something for everyone in the multiplayer but the reason why some people hate it so much is because of two main things bloom and armor abilities bloom increases in accuracy when firing a weapon too many times in a row.**

**Armor abilities change up how the player interacts with the map and against other players traditional Halo normally doesn't have any of these and their multiplayer games, so it's understandable why fans didn't like breaches multiplayer but there is the rank playlist that removed this but that's ranked and that's mainly for sweaty try hard and controller players I'll get to that in a minute my point is that reach wasn't made for veterans of halo if you never experienced any of the other Halo games you should have a fun time I reach multiplayer even if you have played any of the other games and haven't played reaches multiplayer yet I would still recommend at least trying this into something different.**

**It's been anything but while reach on PC looks a lot better than its original 360 release running out. whatever resolution you want and running at 60fps that's pretty much how good it guess trying to run this game at high frame rates is impossible not because PCs aren't capable of doing it but because uncut frames don't work for some reason 343 can't seem to get uncap frames to work properly in this game the way uncapped frames work in reach is by doubling every other frame to create the illusion of uncapped frame rates this creates a ton of ghosting issues and throws off anyone using uncap frames no matter how good your PC is the only way this can be fixed is by either capping the frames at 60 or by playing with the controller speaking of controllers controllers are better than mouse and keyboard in Halo Reach No I am not kidding you guys thought Fortnite and Apex aim-assist is overpowered reaches on a whole nother level the MSS give it to controller players is off the charts at the point where controller players will you even need to use the right stick to ape not only that controller players have this exclusive feature called bullet magnetism where the bullet curves towards the player when their crosshair is slightly off their target people love to defend this by saying that mouse and keyboard players have their whole arm to aim even though that's true it becomes a hassle since mouse and keyboard players have to be a hundred percent accurate with their shots which is impossible for even the best PC gamers out there they usually cite the pro of being able to 180 people with a mouse and that's the only advantage mouse a keyboard has over controller players.**

**I find this advantage being used rarely since the general direction your opponent's Spina is directly across from wherever you are I'm not saying that controller players are bad players but what controllers become the most dominant device in the competitive see game there's a problem here mouse and keyboard is perfectly fine in casual play by what it recommends touching ranked until these issues are fixed the only good thing about this PC port is how easy it is to run the minimum requirements to run this game at 4k 60 frames per second is a GTX 770 and an i5 3450 which is nothing compared to 2020 standards and anyone reading this post probably already owns a PC that is leagues better than those requirements that's the only good thing about this port everything else needs a fix as soon as possible.I have to say about Reach is the port itself the game runs good enough to be playable but there's a lot that needs to be fixed Hunt at frame rates are what turned me off the most I have a PC which should technically run this game at high frame rates at 1080p but since it doesn't work properly all that performance is just sitting there waiting to be used.**

**It's also very disappointing to find controller players out gunning mouse and keyboard players especially for those who want to play this competitively as a mouse and keyboard players which should be the targeted audience. I'm just glad that halo is becoming more accessible to players outside of the Xbox circle and for those that don't have well-performing computers I also hope that couch co-op can make a return on PC some days since most computers are more than capable of doing it and not everyone is willing to buy another computer just to play co-op with a relative.
