I have right now the Hype of Schrodinger: I can feel it's happening but also that it's not happening.
I want this, actually Fable II needs a graphics engine remake like Fable Anniversary, it hasn't aged particularly well in some aspects.

I always assumed this was because they ported Halo 1 and 2 from the PC versions. I had a mouse cursor appear in Halo CE before the day one patch iirc.
My dream scenario:
- MCC on PC shadowdrop
- Reach & Firefight coming to MCC
- Blur Cutscenes for Halo 3
- Armor customization (no sets)
You joke about this but Fable 2 is my favorite as much as i love TLC. Its so odd that 2 is the only one not on PC.
II is my favorite as well, I think this holds true for a lot of people after looking back at the series. Yet they didn't even enhance II for its 10 year anniversary. Microsoft continues to mismanage one of my favorite IPs.
But Hood still looks like this.

Oh god please don't be a shadowdrop, I'm broke this week
If it's a Play Anywhere title, you can pick up one of those $1 14 day Game Pass trials from eBay.

I can see 3 out of those 4 happening. (Blur H3 cutscenes are my dream too)

Lord Hood always looks like someone took a hair dryer from 2553 and blew it into his face on full power.
Did the first Halo have co-op for the campaign? Been too long since I played that game to remember.
Man this is great news! I am gonna play all the Halo games back to back, loved the original on PC
YEP! Halo CE had both Splitscreen Co-op and System Link. Halo was a fucking godsend for couch co-op. My gaming memories have all revolved around playing the Library on Legendary with my best friend when I was 12.
I hope that the PC version has LAN multi-player and co-op.
I think most of my waking life as a teenager was spent playing Halo 2 and 3 online. My group of friends all moved to PC when we got older so it'll be fun to rekindle our love of this series. (Im going to flip my desk if this thing isnt about MCC for pc)
I wonder how much Twitch and online game streaming has contributed to the resurgence of PC. Could it be that with many viewers watching PC games being streamed that bad ports really do not do a company any favours.
I would say good luck on these two ever happening.
Full armor customization would be awesome, but I just cannot see it being a priority for them.
As for Blur cutscenes, I would argue that Halo 1 needs them way more drastically than Halo 3. Halo 1's Anniversary cutscenes are not very faithful to the original vision at all. Blur giving the same love and care to Halo 1 as they did with Halo 2 would be amazing.
Halo 3's cutscenes (aside from a few human faces) hold up really well today, unlike OG Halo 1 and Halo 2.
My dream scenario:
- MCC on PC shadowdrop
- Reach & Firefight coming to MCC
- Blur Cutscenes for Halo 3
- Armor customization (no sets)
agree with all these except Blur cutscenes for Halo 3. I would vastly prefer to see the cutscenes in-engine with the new models and lighting rather than the kinda freaky CGI cutscenes
I would rather Halo CE got another remaster faithful to the original and maybe even a mild Halo 3/ODST update too. Blur cutscenes are amazing but I like in game scenes, it's too much of a gap and costs probably a fortune that would be better spent on the gameplay remaster itself and a Reach remaster.
If they shadow drop this tomorrow it could make waves, Apex Legends style. PC has a massive hardcore shooter audience and most gamers have strong memories of social Halo online from Halo 2 and 3 that would cause many to seriously jump on this. I'm heavily leaning towards the announcement being near definite for tomorrow.
They say no smoke without fire - and at the moment there's like, a power station's worth of smoke. Has to be coming tomorrow.

I doubt it.
The odds are stacked against it. Halo as a franchise is not the "it" thing, hasnt been for over a decade. It is (I am assuming) going to be on the Windows store, which is already a death knell. The stink of the awful X1 launch will be all over it. And I am not sure PC has the market to buy a Halo collection at $60 or whatever they will want for it.
Unless MS does something out of the ordinary, expect a handful of sales. MP dead in a month.
You are diving into the quantum reality. Don't hurt yourself. :p
I'm like 99% sure their main goal with MCC on PC is having it be a sweetener for game pass.
I honestly feel like most hardcore halo mp fans who still game have moved to PC. I also think there is a gap in the market on PC for a good shooter that isn't a friggin BR.
With gamepass being a thing, I'm already making sure all my friends are aware and ready to dive in when it drops.
Wait, that's the games price now? What? There's no way they're charging people that little on PC, that is absurd.
If it's PlayAnywhere - and there's no reason it won't be - they don't have much choice.
I think so too. But I dont think its gonna make waves.
EA already offers a better deal and I think their Origin Premier service isnt doing amazing on the PC. And their catalog for Origin access on the PC is ridiculously good at a fraction of the price of Gamepass.
If my choices Halo MCC + some other games for $10 a month vs 180 games for $30 a year, I know what I am picking. And PC gamers have made their peace with Origin unlike the Windows store.
Not gonna be many takers. I dont think console only Halo fans understand how little goodwill MS and its store has amongst the PC fanbase.
It's not absurd, it's the maximum they should charge for a 5 year old game.
Going by social media (Reddit, Twitter, etc) nah a lotta people are hyped for this and at $30 people will eat it up.
I don't think we'll get both at the same time, I bet PC launches and then they'll add Reach next.
I played Halo 1 on PC. I found it interesting at first but it got stale after a while.
I would still pick this up at some point.

Solid counter argument.
Nope. Not on that store. Not for that price. Not on the PC.
Not happening.
I dont think you guys quite grasp how little the PC crowd engages with the MS store. Gears of War 4 is on the PC store. As is the latest Forza. The newest entries on their two biggest franchises. Crackdown 3 is there. AFAIK Halo Wars 2 is there as well. No one gives a flying shit.
This site has a VERY heavy console skew and I dont think most people here understand just how little the PC crowd cares about buying from the Windows store. It is delusional to think a 5 year late $30 port of old Halo games will change that.
