>Especially given the way MCC massacred Halo1 with the horrendous Halo 1 PC port back to Xbox, and then later to PC again.
MCC launched in a terrible state, but it's had a crazy amount of deep improvements over the years and I think all of the big known issues of the original Halo PC port have been addressed since a few years ago.
No, it really hasn't. https://halobugs.com/ I have hundreds of hours in Halo 1 and play MCC regularly. Halo 1 PC players don't understand because these bugs originated in the original Xbox->PC port, and they've never known what it should actually feel like.
I mean hell, when they first launched MCC, fall damage jumping off the base in BG was wrong. You can feel the effect of the Gearbox port to this day. I mean, did they even fix the pistol spread issue? Not that that would be important or anything.
