Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary

Halo 2: Anniversary

One of the good things about this collection is the work of Halo: 2, including adding the new prologue and epilogue to this game. The goal of these new additions is to help the game better tie in with the upcoming release of Halo 5: Guardians. The multiplayer is basically untouched as it was for the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, but the campaigns have been redone for the player experience. The graphics also were upgraded to create a more visually appealing game.

Halo 3

Unlike some of the other games in this collection, this game doesn’t get  graphic overhaul to the game. But the game will run at 1080p, 60FPS so that it is more visually updated. This game is also still in its original Halo 3 engine, ensuring that the game handles just as you remember and you get the same multiplayer maps that you can enjoy.

Halo 4

As this is one of the newer of the Halo games, you won’t notice any real significant changes to the game. However, you will get the better resolution as the other games in the collection along with all of the original content and DLCs that the original release offered.
