MCC and Reach Launch on PC Today!
« on: December 03, 2019, 08:17:08 PM »
Well, it has finally happened. For the first time since 2007, we have a first-person Halo release on PC. And on Steam no less!

You can buy the entire Master Chief Collection, which includes Reach, for $40 right now. Alternatively, I've heard you can just grab Reach alone for the extremely reasonable price of $10.

The other titles in the collection aren't available yet, since they have to get ported over. The next one to be released will be Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, which may feel somewhat familiar to members of this forum. ::)

Let the good times roll!

Oh it's fun!  I had tried playing Halo 2 on Kiwi Jr's Xbox, but I'm such a noob with an Xbox controller that I gave up.  Really fun to play on PC.
I have a fairly low spec laptop, graphics card is just at the minimum standard, but game plays smoothly.
Can't get audio through my bluetooth headphones - seems to be a common issue with the game thus far, lots of audio problems, but the rest is awesome.

I know, right? I played Reach on Xbox with my brothers a few years ago, and each moment was a drag. The controller was frustrating to use because the aiming is so imprecise. But on PC it's awesome! I'm really looking forward to playing it again tonight.

You know you wanna! :scrim:

I played it last night (which was a terrible idea because I had to get up at 4 to fly to Denver  :doh: )
It's fun! Had to remap a few controls. Vehicles handle really well using the mouse (sooooooo different to playing Reach on a console). It's very pretty too!
So now playing through the depressing campaign  ::)

Looking forward to when they release Halo CE Anniversary. It'll be cool if you can switch between old and new graphics like on console  :)

Tip: a lot of audio and other issues go away if you disable the anti-cheat when doing campaigns.

It does have multiplayer. Think there might be the odd connection problem, but I haven't researched it myself.

Someone mentioned a team race custom option being available for the PC version. Hope it comes true.

Have you guys tried the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary? It was just released. Is there race in the multiplayer?
