About Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a bundle of Halo remasters developed by Bungie and 343 industries. The bundle features Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4. All four games are distributed on one disc and are accessible through a unified interface. It is possible to play any mission from all four games right from the beginning of the game. Apart from the story in the games themselves, the bundle features two CG videos which reveal that Jameson Locke is going through Master Chief's combat record in an attempt of finding him after the events of Halo 4. For every game in the collection, it is possible to turn on the campaign scoring system. Every mission has its own leaderboard which includes the overall score, playtime, and the enemy kill count. Every game in the bundle features a cooperative mode that can be played either online or using split-screen. It is possible to play with 3 more players online while only two players can play on one screen. The original multiplayer is retained in the games. Every multiplayer map ever released for every game in the bundle is available for the players.

- Fix steps are ordered troubleshooting guidance based on common causes — they are not official developer support.
How the refund verdict works
The verdict compares your playtime and purchase date against the platform's published window (14 days / 2 hours on Steam and Epic; discretionary on PlayStation; 14-day capped on Xbox; no-refund policy on Nintendo eShop for downloaded software). Technical defects are weighed more favourably than preference changes, which is why the appeal letter template asks you to state the specific issue and attach evidence.
