Halo MCC for PC & Halo Reach for MCC being hinted at for Inside Xbox today (5pm EDT)

Hahahahah, why not? Just give them all to use before Infinite comes out
That in itself is a bad launch though? You want all the streamers etc on it at once, working, with everyone able to hop on themselves.
There's not much they can do. An instant release is bound have issues, no way to get around that. A gradual release with Windows Insiders getting in first would be the better option for making sure the thing is stable.
Insider info says an announcement is coming soon, 343 have been teasing PC, MCC is no longer tagged as only for Xbox One on the Microsoft store anymore and this Inside Xbox thing is teasing a big MCC announcement and Windows Updates are coming specifically made for having Xbox One games run on PC. It seems likely but tbh but I just have this gut feeling that it isn't happening, as much as I want it to. So for now I'm just going to hope that it's happening and try not to be too annoyed if it ends up not happening
someone from 343 would have shot down the rumors by now. so i'd be shocked if it wasn't a pc announcement.
I don't know if I'm remembering wrong but I felt like we had gotten some rumors that at least H5 was being worked on for PC, but this was like a year or two ago and nothing came of it.
I always thought that PC probably wouldn't get MCC due to the amount of work that would be needed, but it would at least get 5 in anticipation for 6.
Either way, I won't get too hyped to set myself up for disappointment, but I'm very curious to see how tomorrow goes.
Maybe the Halo 5 rumours stemmed from Halo 5 Forge being released on PC?
Stuffed Crust King Kai, you can eat it in reverse!Which they have done quite the opposite of so far lol
Considering how fast Halo 5 for PC rumors got shot down last year, I'd say it is very likely this is happening.
I wonder if that's why 343i contacted streamers like Sumit1G and others?
Could have also been for Infinite, but this would also make sense, now that I think about it.
Honestly, I would give Halo 5 a try again, if it supported Intelligent Delivery (custom installation) like every game in Halo: MCC does.

Well they already have H5 forge out on W10 so it doesn't seem too much of a long shot (even though that would need a lot rework). I don't doubt H5 will eventually come to PC. But don't think it will drop with MCC. Which we all know is definitely being announced tomorrow. *gets into fetal position ready for disappointment*
I just hope if this is not Steam too, they make it available for free for all owners of the game. If it's Win 10 only I doubt people will be so much interested in the game, but at least giving the PC version for free to current owners of the game would show some good will from Microsoft toward PC players at least, since all freebies people got are for One only at the moment.
More important, if the rumor about BC coming to PC is real, MCC could be a good way to show Microsoft is really putting effort into the whole thing.

Yep. 343 has always been quick to shoot down rumors and temper expectations if it's not happening. They've been mostly quiet with this though with one employee even playing into the hype
Hope so. That file size is nothing to sneeze at. (And H5 is worse)
the disaster of the original launch is a worse launch. I would assume a massive project like this is more complicated than shadowdropping something like Apex Legends was - so many more things could go wrong. Microsoft was extra cautious about rolling out to 3 different Xbox models, I don't see them changing it up when launching on a platform with millions of different hardware configurations
Got it. Would be great so I hope it's legit!
But also let's get some Reach in there please.
Where did you hear the thing about 343 contacting streamers? Did Summit say that on stream or something?
Why the hell not, honestly. They should've been porting a lot of their back catalog ages ago.

Thats awesome, but summit prior to this was tweeting he needed a good halo on pc after saying how bored he is of BR games. So might just be related to that.
Game could blow up on PC. You have to assume summit and ninja will stream it (maybe ninja wont which seems wild). Hopefully pc streamers who never console game will get into halo too.
Thank you for posting it. ResetERA supports Twitch clips and they also work with Media tags, so it's completely okay.
Hitting streamers up a month prior to releasing the MCC on PC? Call me crazy, but that could definitely be related.
They already said that they will treat Halo: Infinite PC players as "1st class citizens", so this could very well be a test (and learning experience) for it.
While we're on the topic of streamers, could just be coincidence but xQcOW just started the stream with Halo music and has changed his desktop background to a Halo Ring
Well, the first thing to do would be, letting it be known. Like, they have good ports, for the most part. They just barely mention anything about them. Like, I think Forza Horizon 4 was the first game where they actually talked about it having ultrawide, uncapped framerates, lots of graphics options, the works, before launch, and they still only did it once for news outlets. They didn't do that for Crackdown 3, or most of their early games, they barely acknowledge the Windows versions aside from ending release statements with "...and on Windows 10 PCs". They should be touting their PC support from the damned roofs, like how Sega handles their ports. Put the features in trailers and the store pages, tweet about them, do marketing for the PC version and the Xbox version separately instead of expecting people to associate them together.

Halo coming to PC would be so important to the franchise. There's 3 streamers I know of that would play. Drdisrespect, Ninja, Summit1g. All have halo backgrounds. They need to push this hard.
This feels like a comment from 2015.
Gears 4, Forza 7, FH3, FH4, Sea of Thieves at al have shown up on PC since then.
theres a game listing for halo mcc on the windows store and a hub. so why not
I'm not sure that means what I hope it means. But it's progress anyway :)
The hub tag is the interesting part. A lot of Xbox exclusives have windows store pages because you can purchase them on your PC and start installing it to your Xbox One
