To use this technique successfully, players will need to coordinate movements with each other to avoid wounding or killing each other with splash damage or friendly fire. This method consists of attempting to get through the level as quickly as possible, while also trying to get the most points possible. It often involves using and ignoring many enemies that you may otherwise be inclined to shoot. The reason players do this is generally because they want the Legendary symbol for their service record; they may also wish to get the meta-game achievements by relying mainly on the time bonus for the level.
Also these can be done as a challenge for the players or to speed through the story as quick as possible. This method makes up for the 2 or 3 weapon limit and has players focus on specific aspects of combat, such as enemy types or positioning.
One of the most ideal strategies utilizes one of the players using weapons more effective against shielding while another player uses weapons more effective against non-shielded enemies. This way, shielded enemies would lose their shielding rather quickly and become vulnerable to the other player who would have the proper weapon equipped to finish off the enemy, effectively removing the need to constantly switch weapons.
Ideally, the player assigned to shielded enemies would utilize Plasma Pistols for their overcharged shot while the player assigned to take out the non-shielded enemy would utilize headshot weapons, namely a Battle rifle or Covenant Carbine , forming a two-person Noob Combo. Plan is fairly simple: one player attack the enemy from the front, whilst the other player may flank the enemy from behind or attack them from the side. However the problem is the "flanker" being able to get to the position they need to be in order to flank.
In some occasions, two players may not be needed for this method. It can be done using the UNSC Marines as a distraction for the Covenant whilst the lone player attacks from the side or flanks. Gradual fragmentation is the method of going after one group of enemies at a time, sniping enemies one by one or grinding down all the enemies gradually hence the name "Gradual Fragmentation".
Requires patience, and good judgement. Can be done on single-player but much more efficiently done on co-operative play, in which this strategic combined with Two-Way attack can be very effective indeed. Halo Alpha Explore.

The program is now used to test all content updates the MCC gets, with the game's UI, main menu background, new Skulls and more being added in post-launch updates.
After the announcement of PC support, a completely separate Insider program for PC was made available for anyone to sign up for. Each title was tested by Insider members during flights. Flights for Halo: Reach took place in August Flights for Halo 2: Anniversary took place in April Flights for Halo 3 took place in June Flights for Halo 4 took place in October Both online and split-screen co-op campaign play are supported in all six games.
Currently, split-screen is not available on PC, however, cross-play co-op is possible. The campaign co-op breakdown is as follows: [16]. Multiplayer is available for all four games—each running from their respective original engines—and is accessible via a unified matchmaking menu system. Players are put into a lobby, then asked to vote for a match from a random selection of over maps from all games depending on playlist , rather than have the population split into groups for different games.
The Master Chief Collection ships with every multiplayer map ever packaged with Halo: Combat Evolved , Halo 2 , Halo 3 , and Halo 4 , as well as all downloadable content maps ever released including the six maps from Halo: Combat Evolved for PC as well as the two exclusive maps from Halo 2 Windows Vista.
Forge is featured in Halo 3 , Halo 4 , and Halo:Reach , as well the remastered multiplayer portion of Halo 2: Anniversary. Forge was not included in the initial release of Halo: Reach on PC.

Nearly all emblems found in the constituent games are available for use. At launch, players could select an armor permutation for each of the six multiplayer modes.
The Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 armor permutations mirrored the original games, however the Halo 3 and Halo 4 was much-simplified; specifically, players could no longer customize individual armor pieces, but instead must choose from complete armor sets. Halo 4 armor and weapons skins are also not found in the collection, nor are the DLC customization elements, specifically the Ricochet , Prefect , Mark V , and ODST armor permutations, the Resistor tactical package , and the Recharge and Survivor support upgrades.
Players can customize five loadouts for Halo 4 multiplayer; unlike the original game, all five loadouts and all loadout options are unlocked by default. Due to the launch of Halo: Reach and Season 1: Noble as part of the collection in , the decision was made to allow for full armour customisation as in the game's Xbox release, with a new customisation system designed to retain the feel of the older systems while blending it with more modern unlock systems, using the power of Unreal Engine 4.
This system was later extended to Halo 3 with the launch of Season 2: Spark. In this system, players can earn Season Points while playing multiplayer, Firefight and campaign to unlock armor pieces for use. Additionally, the launch of Season 2 saw the addition of skins to Halo: Combat Evolved , with a variety of new texture skins for all useable weapons and vehicles alongside visor color options available for players in the game's multiplayer.

Aditionally, new armor pieces for Halo: Reach were planned to be included in Season 4, but were discarded the armor effects for the Elites were added on Reach with this season, however , with Industries expressing desire to include both Halo: Reach and Halo 4 armor permutations in future seasons.
Season 5: Anvil included several Spartan armor pieces for Halo: Reach , including the AKIS helmet nicknamed "GRD" by the community , alongside the new Mariner helmet, the EXO chest piece, and six chest variants with a prosthetic arm, and twelve new Spartan armor permutations for Halo 3 , based on armors from the cancelled Halo Online ; this update also added new customization options for Halo 3 , allowing customize forearms and legs.

There are various ways to unlock these items, although most are earned by completing achievements. An Xbox Live account is entirely free whereas the Gold subscription is only for console players. The only title missing from the backwards compatibility library is Halo 2, which was never actually released for the Xbox It was released for the original Xbox in Halo: Spartan Assault.
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is, however, as it was released on Xbox The game is not backward compatible — One of the most common reasons why some Xbox games are displaying this error code when inserted in an Xbox One console is because they are not compatible.
