What games are included in Halo: the Master Chief Collection?
The set will include five major hits of the series – Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4 – plus a DLC to Halo 3 called ODST. Unlike a similar bundle released a few years ago on Xbox One, the PC release will not appear as a complete collection right away. In December, we will get Halo: Reach, with subsequent installments being released in the future. Halo: Reach can also be ordered separately for about $10.
OUR EXPECTATIONS
I've always wanted to play the Halo series. The reason I haven't done it so far is prosaic – me and game pads just don't get along well in shooters. We have a very different opinion about where the bullets should go. That's why the announcement of the PC version of Master Chief Collection was like manna to me. Manna, which – as manna does – came completely unexpectedly while I was hoping for mouse and keyboard support coming for Xbox One, announced a year ago. So it worked out beautifully, and I'm rubbing my hands... I just haven't asked myself one important question yet: aren't the first parts of Halo already too archaic for today's FPS standards?
