t is no exaggeration to say that the Halo: The Master Chief Collection has
been fraught with issues. The compilation’s many games have been
released piecemeal since late 2019, and every title thus far has had its
share of problems. Halo 3’s release begs the question: What’s wrong this time?
The answer, surprisingly, is very little. Halo 3 is easily the best game released
in the MCC, one that retains the same visuals and assets from the Xbox 360
original while pushing the resolution and frame rate. And Halo 3’s action holds
up shockingly well.

Chief and the Covenant landing on Earth. Master Chief and Earth’s UNSC
forces scramble to defend themselves from the Covenant invasion while also
pursuing the Covenant leader to prevent him from activating the Halos. Cortana
is still missing after she and Chief parted ways during Halo 2’s climax, and the
parasitic Flood’s machinations are an unknown, looming threat to all parties.
