Halo: The Master Chief Collection PC Version Announcement Incoming?

I am an assumed, and unabashedly proud, Halo fan, so yes, I believe the fact that the games' definitive (but by no means complete) The Master Chief Collection is coming to PC is a very important matter. The Halo series' efforts on the PC have been extremely lackluster, until now, barring the excellent Halo Wars 2 (in terms of how it runs and its PC-centric features; not talking about the game per se). Now, rumors of Microsoft being hard at work with porting the game to the PC platform have gained substantial traction, as Brad Sams, a tech journalist whose track record with Microsoft leaks has been notable, said that "Microsoft's open secret is that they've been working on the Master Chief Collection for the PC, and I'm hearing that that's getting close to release."

This "getting close to release" plays well into the upcoming E3 event, starting July 11th. The Master Chief Collection's release (and for wow factor, immediate availability) during the show would be an amazing way for Microsoft to market the Halo saga's true PC vision come to life. This would pave the way for a later Halo 5: Guardians release and the already-announced-for-PC Halo infinite, which is expected only with the next generation of consoles.

enxo218I hope this is true I'm still miffed about how combat evolved anniversary didn't come to pc and also m$ better not make a too faithful port bringing all the bugs associated with the console version to pc ala copy - paste
I wouldn't mind a few bugs/glitches so long as they aren't game breaking. Keyboard and mouse control. Oh yeah..

I am cautiously optimistic. As long as it doesn't have to much crap DRM, I might make the plunge and install Windows 10.

They also said that they were releasing it in stages. So does that mean we have to buy each and every single one?

The second the pre-order button pops up, it's mine in steam. They're not going to pull a metro exedus on me with this

Surprised they're using Steam. I figured it would be UWP only.

Maybe it will be an episodic release schedule like Telltale and others use, buy the whole thing and get them when their done, I wonder if owners on the Xbox will own it through the Store.
