Halo: The Master Chief Collection announced for PC (Steam/Microsoft Store) - Staggered release, Reach first
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
If they play on the CEA graphics it will look OK compared to Reach but 1) you are really supposed to play on the OG graphics as the CEA one has a lot of consistency issues, and 2) the art direction in CEA is considerably worse.
I'd heard all the teasers, and yet I still can't believe this is happening. What a time to be alive.
Props for them putting it on steam too, really appreciate it. Hopefully we get a date soon considering it'll just be Reach releasing to start off with. (maybe even a avaliable now one?)

People go back and play older games all the time. It might actually be interesting to see how people experience CE after first playing Reach.
Awesome. Staggered release is dumb though. But I'll take what I can get. Halo 16 player CTF bloodgulch baby with the best pistol ever
I know you're being sarcastic, but I fucking love this about Reach.
I'm not being sarcastic. It's hilarious and makes big team battle a ton of fun for me.
MCC on 1X is damn fantastic now, so I hope that the PC version carries on that mold.
Steam version still requires an XBL account. You can count on crossplay.
But does that mean my XBL saves will carry over to the Steam version? That would be neat.
There's not a lot of details, but we do know you'll be able to individually purchase games. Presumably though they'll also have a "pass" or something to pay for all the games at once up front and download them as they release.
With this, I can't help but feel nostalgic. Bring on the old days of Halo and Mountain Dew.
Man, playing original Gears of War 360 right now. I feel old.

It says a lot that this is your first contribution to this thread.
Why are you so mad? I mean, we all know why... but jeez, this is a good thing, not a bad thing.
I didn't even convey any opinion on the game, actually. I'm looking forward to playing Reach with proper PC controls.
I'm just commenting on an embarrassing line on a marketing image. Is that okay?
Edit: thanks for the above posters actually clarifying the line.
The Steam version will likely treat the individual games as DLC modules. See Hitman 2 for an example of how this works practically.
Like the users above said it's apparently from Halo 2 (I did not know as well). Seems like an appropriate use of that line.
Would I need to have Reach installed to play the rest then? I don't recall how it works with Hitman 2 and ep 1.
I am EXTREMELY faithful this will happen, Microsoft has been absolutely great to the fans calling and have recently increased their steam output. I would not bat an eye at them announcing windows containers for xbx1, 360, and OG games and making them perminantly available to us on steam.
I expect there will be a bse MCC game and Reach is the first "DLC" on Steam available at launch.
I presume the launcher will serve as the base "game" and the actual games themselves will be configured as DLC apps, in which case you'll be able to pick and choose.

Likely all the games will be DLC modules. It's possible they'll split the multiplayer off into further modules, too, unless they plan on saving that functionality for the Windows Store version.
It's from Halo 2. Said in Michael Wincott's voice, it's an amazing line.
Recasting him with Terrence Stamp for Halo 3 was one of the worst decisions Bungie ever made. They turned Truth from an evil schemer into a raving mad zealot.
We might find out about when and how we can play it on Friday. Sounds like it will start out as a limited testing thing.
