We live in a world where I will play Halo Reach through steam on my fucking PC.
Where do we go from here?

So excited for Reach remastered. I was playing the 360 BC version and ewww it didn't age well. Probably my favourite Halo, love Noble team.
No news yet, but if I were to guess it would be MS Store yes, Steam no.
Agreed, they are probably avoiding using the term with the steam version not being to stop confusion.
I am surprised that MS did not use this opportunity to unveil a better Win Store and use Halo as their "flagship" game to introduce it.
I wonder what this means for future MS games like Gears. Is there an expectation that it will also come to Steam now? Probably not but the way MS has handled the Halo series is interesting as they seem ok with dropping those on Steam. Are 343i not MS first party? They seem ok with letting them give us a Steam version but not Gears or maybe they let each studio decide on that themselves. Pretty cool of MS if that is the case.
Anyway I am glad to finally be able to see why so many people have such fondness for this series. Personally, I don't remember that last good FPS campaign I played since the Darkness 2 :/

My guess is they're using it as bait - getting Steam users hooked into Halo and then given no choice but Microsoft Store for Infinite.
I played the first two games of the MCC before accepting the fact that I just don't like FPS with a gamepad. Looking forward to a Play Anywhere version.
It's great to see these games coming to PC. I'm hoping in time it becomes an industry standard.

They haven't announced any details, though. Maybe keep the despair bottled up until we receive some actual word on features?
Steam page lists a bunch of standard features, but no split screen.
It's exactly the kind of feature a lot of devs leave out because PC gamers "don't care" about it. I feel like that's sufficient reason to worry. Especially since it appears it's not Play Anywhere, since usually that is heavily advertised.
They won't, they'll just being happy to take everyone's money.
I Imagine most of the the Win10 store customers will be those who are playing on gamepass or play anywhere.
MCC still had splitscreen support for co-op/multiplayer, right? If so it'll probably be in this too. I wouldn't worry too much if it isn't explicitly listed as a feature on Steam. It's early days and they might not have everything listed just yet.
I think they are reusing all halo line of MCC to re-hook players to Infinite and then launch it exclusively inside the new store.
Perhaps. But it's a great gesture anyway ^^
How are crapgamer and timdog reacting on this news by the way? :D
I'm bracing for like an August release for Reach, October for 1, December for 2, etc.
Not sure where is the good(or accurate) part unless replace Xbox logo with Epic logo.haha good one
Too bad the games are releasing by stages, but i fully understand this. We're talking about SIX Halo games that need tinkering so they can work flawlessly on PC. Failure is not an option with such an important franchise as Halo.
Cyclonic death torpedo levels of betrayal here. Friendship ended with microsoft, google now my best friend.
Yeah, I'd be really surprised if they didn't at least give timed exclusivity to the Win10 store.
I think microsoft understands that they have to make their store competitive in other ways. I respect their decision a lot. It's almost like a big middlefinger towards epic game store which is throwing money towards all these money driven companies and microsoft being known for that signaling the absolute opposite. I respect that
Microsoft has changed a lot in the last few years. I like it a lot

Fuck you, M$. No EGS, no buy.
Seriously, this is great news and it's wonderful to see Microsoft delivering on their promises re PC gaming after so many false starts. It'll be interesting to see if this heralds a close relationship with Steam in the future- day and date releases on both Steam and Windows Store, with the Store games having the additional carrot of GamePass/ Play Anywhere.

You watch it be September 2020.
There's been barely any mention of anything other than it's existence. Hold your horses.

We're getting more news and I think we're finding out how we can get involved with MCC.
