Having played through all the Halo campaigns in coop with a buddy recently, here's a list of random things that stood out.

- The feature to switch back to the original graphics in the Halo 1 and 2 remakes by pressing the TAB key is really cool.
- Only Halo 1 and 4 have in-game subtitles. The other games only have subtitles in cutscenes.
- Halo 2 has pre-rendered cutscenes that look REALLY good.
- Halo 2 is the most buggy game out of all games in the collection. The majority of the game plays fine but there's been more than a couple of disconnects, getting kicked back to the lobby, frame drops or sudden choppy gameplay which were not present in any of the other games.
- The achievements in Halo 2 are bugged, and only the host will get level completion achievements.
- Halo 3 has a good campaign and the graphics hold up really well.
- ODST is really good.
- The map in ODST has some bits in the interface that are not ported properly to the PC and still show controller shortcuts when using keyboard/mouse.
- Cortana's bodytype in Halo 4 :o
- Halo 4's soundtrack is absolute ass.

Campaign tierlist:
ODST > Reach > Halo 3 > Halo 2 > Halo 1 > Halo 4. Fight me >:3

The game is extremely short. I played through the entire game with a friend in "Movie Night" mode (which is basically pass-the-controller-mode) and it took us slightly over 4 hours. This is without rushing and taking the time to properly explore.
Story is shallow and weak and none of the characters are in any way likable. Graphics are great though, though some animations are severely uncanny and unnatural. Overall it's a shallow and short but fun game.
Only buy when heavily discounted.
Maybe.
