Template:New Content Template:Game Infobox Halo: The Master Chief Collection is an upcoming bundle of Halo games featuring starring MCPO John-117. The set includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4, as well as the digital feature Halo: Nightfall and access to the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta. It will be released exclusively for the Xbox One on November 11, 2014 for $59.99 (USD).[1]

Features

The four games in the collection will all be contained on a single disc and will be accessible through a unified interface known as the "Master Menu". The menu allows players to directly play any mission in any of the four games straight from purchase, or arrange the levels from different games into their own custom playlists. Some playlists arranged by 343 Industries will be readily available from launch.[1]

Multiplayer will be available for all four games - each running from their respective original engines - and will be accessible via a unified matchmaking menu system. Players will be put into a lobby, then asked to vote for a match from a random selection of over 100 maps from all games (depending on playlist), rather than have the population split into groups for different games.[1]

All games will ship with every multiplayer map ever packaged with Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4, as well as all downloadable content maps ever released (including six maps from Halo PC, among them Timberland and Gephyrophobia).[2] The collection will also contain six remastered maps from Halo 2, the only confirmed being Ascension, with the other five still to be officially announced. The collection also contains its own series of achievements for each of the four games, with the collective Gamerpoints attainable totaling 4000.[3]

All four titles have been optimized for the Xbox One and will run natively at 1080p and 60 frames per second.
