So, why isn't Halo MCC reviewed yet?

Embargo?

I agree the review should be out. If they can't review it because of the matchmaking issues, well then knock the game down and say its possible to be working later but as of now this is what you get.

Dont delay a review when the final product is out to the masses. Maybe people would like to know of the issues and hold off on purchasing Halo MCC.

Why should they, this is just a collection games that got reviewed many years ago, why review them again, lol

because matchmaking isnt working

lol comparing a masterpiece like Halo to garbage like 5club

Im pretty sure IGNs is out today.

No idea about GS, but i can see it getting knocked down a bit over the issues at launch.

Unfortunate really as it won't be representative of the game once these issues are squashed soon enough.

they are downloading the patch

Interesting they might be waiting for the patch as some other games they dont.

Because it's a buggy piece of shit.

@kinectthedots: Who says it hasn't been reviews. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/halo-the-master-chief-collection

I don't need to see GS review to know the game is great overall. 343 will get the servers and matchmaking feature fixed soon enough. I don't think that problem will last long.

Apparently MCC might not have dedicated servers either.

MS couldn't even be original about it, they wanted their own drive club.

Its GS so they are probably waiting for the game to get fixed and get enough patches to give it a good score.. if it wasnt halo they would review it before any patches as soon as possible to give it the lowest score possible but since its halo they'll wait so they can give it a good score

that's 4 games worth of content to review, that's quite a task, not to mention each game has already been reviewed, I'm curious if they'll even bother

furthmore since online MP is such a big component of the total package spaning each game I'd imagine they'd need to experience the real thing post launch to give it a real write-up

Yeah. AC Unity has glitches and has promised fixes but they have it a score already.

They should get it right the first time, so have patience.

They are probably giving 343i the benefit of the doubt. Seeing if they can get the servers sorted out.

The question you should be asking is why people reviewed the game before they tested the online play.

Could be because there are 4 full campaigns to play through aside from the MP? But you'll spin it into what you want.

Metacritic still has the old Polygon score of 95 there. Polygon just lowered the score to 8.

Is it really important to you that Halo gets a bad review? Seems that way.

No matter how the score comes out, people know what they're getting. It's Halo, you like it or you don't.

It does.

idiot the date I posted for that review clearly said Nov 12. It was in big bold letters so you couldn't miss it when you DELETED it from my post your'e quoting.

"How can Nov 7 review mention MP issues"

What the hell are you talking about Nov 7th for? You sound really stupid and are in extreme denial and damage control in your fanboy fallout mode right now. Calm the hell down fool, the issue is documented and your desperation and lies won't change anything. I can tell you are taking this personally so maybe you shouldn't comment since you can't handle the facts.

Lots of games have reviews that come out after the game does. I always wonder what takes so long but in this case I think TC is correct in assuming the multiplayer is given a fair shot.

From the way it is going, I'd be shocked if it was lower than a 9...not that it matters much.

Whoever is waiting on GS score to buy this game is an idiot, the game is fantastic.

Maybe the same reason it took a week or so after release for Forza Horizon 2's review? Who knows

Its been awfully slow in system war lately. GS should just flop mcc to 7 or below for entertainment purposes. It will be epic since halo fps has never gone below a 9. Broken online = low score. Well deserve for a mediocre 10 yr old franchise.

Because you can't review a multiplayer game when you can't play multiplayer.

It's like 4 different games in 1.

it's just strange that only halo would be given this beneficial treatment. there have been many games knocked down for matchmaking issues

I smell Cow butt hurt!!! No, even months later, Driveclub is still a pile of steaming crap. But that 1080p is always the deciding factor in gaming quality according to cow nation!!! 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p, 1080p.......See, isn't that annoying?

don't say that man

They are waiting for a fix to justify the 10 score,is about the only thing i can think off the game has already been out for days and the review still isn't here..hahaha

88 sadly for lemming it dropped again.

Excuses lame excuse.. The review should had been here already...IGN,Polygon,Eurogamer,joystic and many other have already review the game and has 41 entries on meta,the only logical thing is they are waiting for a fix which would be a total joke,i hope that is not the case.

The anniversary version of the first halo game got a 8 on gamespot. Both pc ports of the first halo games scored below a 9 on gamespot if I recall.

LOL

So this is how conspiracy theories are born...

LMAO, is this thread for real??? are you expecting for them to play 4 10 hours or so campaings? then check Forge, then check all the multiplayer elements in what? just a few days??? you must be out of your damn mind.

because he's reviewing/playing 4 games..

is it really that hard to use logic?
