Pros
Pro Every game other than Halo 2 runs at 1080p and 60fps
Three of the four games have 1080p upgrades to them, which is great for those that want to revisit the franchise or who are new to it, to be able to have better clarity and visuals.
Pro Local split screen on all 4 titles
The whole game allows for local split screen multiplayer, something that is a bit of a lost feature nowadays with online play. This makes for a great party game as many users can trade off on controllers per match on one TV.
Pro Well composed audio that is every bit as informative as the graphics themselves
The high quality of distinctive audio in the game keeps the player well informed of happenings around them. By giving the player sound ques as to what else is happening in game, you can easily suss out what type of weapons are being used around you, where someone may be located, by the sound of their footsteps, as well as vehicles may be close.
Pro Solid single player campaign that shows off many different stories from WW1
The single player campaign tells quite a few good stories, that are neither tied to one place or time, which allows the game to take the player through many different locales. This way the scenarios in the game stay fresh, both through graphical settings as well as overall story.
Pro Stable gameplay
Unlike a few other games in the series, the games launch and subsequent playtime has been solid throughout. No server issues, no buggy play, everything works perfectly fine and the game is optimized quite admirably.
Cons
Con Halo 2 does not run at 1080p
While the rest of the games in the collection run in 1080p, Halo 2 does not as it runs at 1328 by 1080.
Con Not historically accurate
World War I was full of trench warfare and you rarely went across no man's land (the space between your trench and the enemy trench). In Battlefield 1, there are barely any trenches, grenades are hard to get away from, and the bullet drop for snipers is too much.
Con Low recoil for what is supposed to be slow and old weapons (compared to modern day counterparts)
The recoil of the guns in game is quite fast for what are supposed to be pretty old and slow weapons. Most likely this off balance feel is caused by trying to make the game as accessible as possible. Sadly for those that would be interested in a more simulation like experience will be a bit disappointed.
