Neat, I'm not a big Halo fan but if it's on Steam I'm sure it will get discounted eventually. Would be nice to play 3 and Reach at last.

It's one of a few reasons I ended up liking ODST when it came out- the music and the dark city/situations and eventually felt like a Halo game. Something about the sound and music in the MCC ODST remaster sounded 'off' though, I think it was muffed or played at a lower bitrate. It's been a long time since I played it so I don't exactly remember.
Edit - Are the Windows/Steam versions getting XB1 cross-play capability ?

People who game on PC tend to give a shit about refresh rates though...most console players don't give a damn about it(or resolution for that matter). It's one of the major differences in a console gamer vs pc gamer. So yes...you're right..you can build a PC and have something to game on immediately...it's just not ideal.
As far as the 2nd part...The X and Pro will have a lot of releases on their newer variant as well as on them for the first couple years. They know doing what they did this gen won't work two times in a row if they don't. So an xbox one x has a lot more lasting power over the potato pc you can get for $500.
Hate to break it to you but just like on console the amount of people who give a fuck about Frame Rate and Refresh Rate on PC's is also as small as the console counter part.
Like do you think every PC gamer has a $1000+ PC with a 120hz display, If so I got bad news for you.
MS has bowed out of the console race and is becoming a service. As time goes on they are going to give less fuck's about hardware. Don't be surprised if they drop the XB1 (and X) within the first year of their new system.

I have always been interested in Halo games tho never had the chance to play them as I never owned consoles.
I really would like to play this one. I was just wondering that, since halo universe is huge, just exactly when this game is taking place?
Is it from the start of the story or somewhere in the middle?
I would like to start from the very beginning of the story.
@AwkwardSquirtle so if i get this I can follow the story with ease you say. I am definitely buying this.
I haven't owned a Microsoft console since my 360 crapped out years ago and no plans on owning one again. Super excited to play this series again, was is still my favorite FPS series of all time.
I still remember running Halo 3 couch co-op with a friend on highest difficulty and we were corpse tossing on the flood stage. Those were some good times.
I liked two, but for some reason I found Halo 1 to be a bit of a drag at some parts.
I'm curious, have they said if Game Pass subscribers or current owners of the game need to repurchase the game? Also, what about Guardians? It's still part of the series, even if people didn't like it as much.
The only halo game you won't have is 5....but with MCC coming to PC And them showing off Infinite at E3 I would expect a Halo 5 PC announcement at E3 as well. This way PC players can catch up with the story as well.

They haven't...I'm wondering about this too..would be a good way to sell a lot more subscriptions to games pass tbh. Halo 5 I am expecting to come to PC as well. Possible announcement at E3 after they show off Infinite...It would be really stupid for them not to have Guardians on PC if they have Halo MCC going to PC.

A Fetus is not a person under the 14th amendment.
Christians are Forced Birth Fascists against Human Rights who indoctrinate and groom children. Prove me wrong.
Another rumor that ties into this is that this is also going to be included in the announcement of XBOX games pass for PC.
LMAO the One X and PS4 Pro are not going to get any games past typical cross gen support for the first 2 years which are also on the base PS4 and Xbox One.
If you honestly think the One X or PS4 Pro will be getting next gen exclusive games downgraded for them lol...
Also what do you mean by do what they did again this gen? The X and Pro make up a tiny portion of the install bases. There is no reason for them to support them past the support of the original systems due to this. They can do it next gen as well because people who care(which are a vast minority) will buy them once again if they offer them. Although there may not even be a point for them next gen unless 8k gets adopted much faster then it looks like it will.
Also that $500 "potato" PC will probably have a better CPU then even next gen consoles will have. If you play at 1080p or even 1440p it would probably play games well into the gen.

The Xbox Brand is most likely going to do what Nintendo did with the 3DS and then the "new" 3DS. Their goal will be having an ecosystem for Xbox....between Windows and the consoles. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if their next gen is just an upgrade in hardware from the xbox one X. You're probably right about the next playstation. Although I do think if Xbox goes this route, then Sony's hand will be forced.
As far as the comment on the processor...lol...if you honestly think a shit cpu can handle 1440p you'll be greeted with a kick in the face by modern games. It may do 1080p medium to high...but it won't handle 1440p. Hell my 2500k sandy bridge...which is better than both the ps4 pro and xbox one x processors(which came out late 2010/2011) will either be on par or still better than next gen console processor...It started showing it's age when I went to 1440p gaming. So you're an idiot if you think a meh processor in a meh $4-500 build will handle 1440p.

Even still, the main word is capable...a $4-500 PC isn't going to be able to support 1440p at medium settings never mind 4k.
If I can buy them all individually then that would be a pretty cool thing. But I imagine it'll just be one bundle.
Only two I really care about are 1 and 2 because those days as a 11-12 year old on Xbox Live getting yelled at by angry adults who were still living with their parents was the best thing ever.
