I bought the Halo Anniversary edition on the XB360 back in the day. They had tarted up the graphics but there seemed to be lots of open space with nothing going on in it, it played like an old game and once i got past the nostalgia it didn't hold my interest past a couple of levels. If they haven't added any thing else to the remakes aside from nicer GFX i wouldn't bother.
From Wikipedia:
The collection consists of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4, (with Halo 2 receiving the Anniversary treatment) replete with their full catalog of extras, including all multiplayer maps and gameplay modes.[1][a] All four games have received frame-rate (60 frames per second), resolution (1080p), and lighting upgrades. Combat Evolved Anniversary is based on the high-resolution remaster of the original released in 2011 for the Xbox 360. Halo 2 is receiving a similar graphical overhaul treatment and is thought to be the core of the collection. Halo 3 and Halo 4, already in high-definition, receive only standard upgrades.[2] The compilation features new achievements, and all difficulty and play modes are unlocked from the start.[1] There have been no story or gameplay changes from the original releases.[2]
As in Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 players can swap between the original and upgraded graphics on-the-fly. Its cutscenes were also updated.[1] Since only six of the game's multiplayer maps were remastered, there are two Halo 2 multiplayer modes. Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer uses the six remastered maps, while a standard Halo 2 multiplayer includes all of the game's released maps with a full graphical update but no remastering.[2] The Collection multiplayer includes Mission Setlists, curated lists of levels selected from throughout the series.[1]
The Extras menu includes access to Halo Nightfall and the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta.[3] Nightfall is a series of weekly, episodic digital videos directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzen and produced by Ridley Scott designed to lead up to the release of the Halo 5 beta and connect the series to the upcoming game,[1] and the Halo 5 beta runs from December 27, 2014, to January 22, 2015.[3] The release also includes new prologue and epilogue cutscenes to link the series for Halo 5's debut
