Halo: The Master Chief Collection Is More Than Just A Nostalgia Trip
I remember loving the Halo series.
I remember investing hours in replaying the campaigns on harder difficulties, sometimes with friends and sometimes solo for the extra challenge. I remember smiling menacingly at killstreaks in multiplayer and throwing grenades right on top of banshees and long missions I thought would never end. But these were all memories from up to a decade ago, and as memory retention goes, mine is frankly pretty abysmal. But, like catching the scent of an ex-boyfriend's cologne you once knew, it turns out it was fairly easy to bring those memories rushing back again.
Now that I've been able to spend some time with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, I feel like it's bridged the distance between today and when the games first came out. I don't just remember thinking how much I appreciated the perfect balance of clusters of enemies Bungie constructed—you know, the handful of grunts with a few elites, the tougher enemies that sometimes came in twos—I'm experiencing it all over again.
