Last month, 343 opened testing up to all “Halo Insiders”. Having signed up on a whim again after they began porting this stuff to PC, I jumped in to play a little bit of Halo Three on PC. While it’s not gotten the (often quite iffy) remastering therapy bestowed on the primary two, I’m glad to report that Halo Three remains to be an absolute banger – a collection excessive topped solely by its jazzy standalone growth, Halo 3: ODST. The visuals have aged a bit of, positive, however leaping a jeep onto an enormous robotic crab to beat everybody inside to dying with a hammer? That’s timeless.

Halo 3: ODST and Halo four ought to discover themselves introduced over to the MCC on Steam and the Windows retailer earlier than the tip of the 12 months.
