Halo The Master Chief Collection

The collection includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4. Each game in The Master Chief Collection received graphical upgrades. The game includes access to the live-action series Halo: Nightfall as well as the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta that ran in 2014–15. At launch, critics generally praised The Master Chief Collection for its updated audio and visuals, as well as its quantity of content. Stereoscopic 3D features from the Xbox 360 version are not supported in the Xbox One collection.Ruffian Games was responsible for developing the Halo 3 and Halo 4 ports.Halo 3 and Halo 4 received only a simple lighting upgrade, and an increase in both frame rate and rendering resolution. 343 Industries designed the interfaces and online networking. The Xbox One app is integrated with the collection, allowing players to access Halo: Nightfall and "Terminal" animations, unlock rewards for the game, and launch the games directly from the app. Saber Interactive, which co-developed Combat Evolved Anniversary, assisted in the remake of Halo 2's campaign. They feature the same structure and timing of the originals, and motion capture was utilized for the animation. "Terminals", a feature first introduced in Halo 3, were added to the Halo 2: Anniversary campaign. Their purpose was to create a "connective tissue" for stories within the Halo universe that explores the relationship between the different races within the Covenant and extensively covers the events portrayed in Halo 2. Visual effect studio The Sequence Group collaborated with 343 Industries to provide the animation; the group had previously performed similar work in Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 4. Mike Colter provided the voice-over for Spartan Locke. Once the Halo 2: Anniversary project was green-lit, executive producer Dan Ayoub at 343 Industries reached out to Max Hoberman of Certain Affinity for assistance on the multiplayer component. The team found it difficult to decide how many of the original 24 maps to redesign and eventually settled on six – two small, two medium, and two large – to provide some variation. Along with the visual upgrade, Halo 2's original score was re-recorded with the San Francisco Symphony at Skywalker Sound studio. The documentary was initially broadcast on Twitch, and was later available on the Halo Channel, Xbox Video, and YouTube. In August 2014, UK retailer Game revealed two special editions of The Master Chief Collection.
