The ''Master Chief Collection'' features the most extensive campaign scoring to date. Every level across all six games in the collection (save for non-combat levels, [[Mombasa Streets]], and [[Lone Wolf]]) features not only a par score but also a part time, all of which award an achievement. Additionally, there are eleven achievements for earning medals in campaign; medals are only earned in campaign when campaign scoring is active. Campaign scoring is only available when a level is started from the beginning and will be disabled if the player starts from a rally point later in the level. | The ''Master Chief Collection'' features the most extensive campaign scoring to date.

Although point values for unit kills vary, the games otherwise utilize the same scoring formula. As with previous games, points are awarded based on unit values, and difficulty, skull and time multipliers. All games in the collection award the same set of 31 medals in campaign. Whether the player earns points for AI kills varies depending on the game. | Although point values for unit kills vary, the games otherwise utilize the same scoring formula.

This scoring formula does not apply to ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''Halo: Reach'' [[Firefight]] which award medals and calculate points in the same manner as the original games. | ||
Most games feature only the skulls found in their original game, save for the ''Anniversary'' games which feature several new ones. The ''Anniversary'' games also feature some skulls which have a 0.00x multiplier that will completely disable campaign scoring and prevent the player from unlocking any campaign scoring achievements. Skull multiplier values are similar to those found in ''Halo: Reach'', however they once again multiply together rather than adding, resulting in the lowest skull multipliers to date. | Most games feature only the skulls found in their original game, save for the ''Anniversary'' games which feature several new ones.

Unlike previous games, saving and quitting will not nullify the player's progress, but will allow the player to continue where they left off when they resume, though they will receive a point penalty just as if they had reverted to the last checkpoint. | Unlike previous games, saving and quitting will not nullify the player's progress, but will allow the player to continue where they left off when they resume, though they will receive a point penalty just as if they had reverted to the last checkpoint. | ||
''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' | At launch ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' had a unique quirk to their scoring, whereby the player earned points for destroying Covenant vehicles and turrets, even if they were unoccupied. In all other games, vehicles and turrets only awarded points if occupied. When ''ODST'' was released on PC in [[2020]] this quirk was patched out, though it remains in ''Halo 3''. | ||
