Halo Master Chief Collection - The dream that turned in to a nightmare.

To this day The Halo Master Chief Collection still isn't a properly functioning game. At this point in time The Master Chief Collection is almost a dead game, near on impossible to find a game in every multiplayer playlist. How is it that Microsofts biggest gaming franchise came to this? how could they be so careless? After Halo 4 and The Master Chief Collection 343 Industries and Microsoft should be counting their lucky stars that Halo fans are some of the most hard core out there and are willing to stick through thick and thin.

When The Master chief was released fans got home and jumped online straight away only to find that they couldn't find anyone in matchmaking. For two straight weeks it was near on impossible to find a game with other players, and if you were one of the lucky ones to find players your game almost certainly didn't finish without serious problems. The Halo Master Chief Collection was developed by 343 Industries in conjunction with Certain affinity, Ruffian games, Saber Interactive, Blur studio and United front gaming.

The backlash on the game was astounding, fans were beyond shocked. The game was at it's core a broken game, so far from finished it wasn't ever funny. Some fans held out hope that the first few patches would fix the game but majority knew it wouldn't. In fact, majority of the first patches did absolutely nothing to fix the game, leaving fans even more frustrated. Although the game was completely beyond fixing for the first few months the most hardcore fans kept up with all the latest updates on patches and such.

The game has practically died since. It was released on November the 14th and what was the most hyped game leading in to 2015 is now abandoned. This game we're talking about was the dream every halo fan had and now it's become a Halo fans worst nightmare. With a sour taste of Halo 4 and Master Chief Collection how can Microsoft expect sales of Halo 5 to be above and beyond, the damage is almost not fixable.

Halo ODST is coming though,  that fixes everything,  right guys? Wrong...it only does if it has Fire Fight. No seriously, It's nice that Halo ODST is being released for free because of all the issues the game has had, but it in no way fixes the dream that Halo fans had. A proper, fair and reasonable way to show your fans you stuffed up is to give the Master Chief Collection owners a discount on Halo 5.

D-Day is coming for 343, if Halo 5 turns in to another Master chief Collection or a Halo 4 you can almost guarantee that would kill the series, and Microsoft biggest money winner. I won't lie, us at Collective Gamer are massive Halo fans and we're hoping Halo 5 will be a huge hit.
