Overview
Gameplay in every MCC title is Hor+ with a 70-120 degree FOV slider (some titles have limits, e.g. Reach's Falcon FOV is locked) and each game offers a spanned-HUD option. Cutscenes are the weak spot: PCGamingWiki reports pillarboxed cutscenes in Reach, Halo 3, ODST and Halo 4 (notably at 32:9) and windowboxed videos in Halo 2: Anniversary. A community tool fixes them, but it works around Easy Anti-Cheat, so it only runs in the anti-cheat-off mode with no online play.
