Altered Halo 5 box-art sparks PC announcement rumor

Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has done a bang-up job of announcing games for both Xbox One and Windows PC with cross-play support, including Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, Sea of Thieves, Killer Instinct and many more. However, one game that was conspicuously missing from that line-up was Halo, as the big “M” has yet to confirm any sort of titles featuring Master Chief for the PC front.
We’re not sure why, mainly because the Halo games would probably find a huge audience on the PC front. But based on some new box art design, it seems that the company may finally be ready to relent, with an announcement that could be happening down the road.
This comes in the form of an Amazon UK product listing, and the updated box art that it includes. As you can see from the box art below, it shows “Xbox One Console Exclusive” in the upper part of its box art.
Previously, Quantum Break had the same "XBOX ONE CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE" label when it got it's PC port.

Rumor
"We want Halo on PC"
"No, not that one!"
Since the announcement isn't official yet and H5/MCC are frequently paired and two of the biggest Xbox exclusives of yesteryear, ontop of the HUGE update to MCC after 4 years, and their flirting with the idea of MCC PC in the past..
I'm hoping they'll announce both.
Still won't beat halo online unless they pull some magic.
The last time the box art was changed to 'hint' at it coming to PC, they said it was because of Forge being available. Isn't this most likely just because of that, especially when they said only a few months back that they weren't working on a PC version?
Snore. How about Halo 3 with modding/mapping tools as powerful as Sapien was for CE?
halo mce and or halo 6 because 5 sucks ass
Please no.
Just vanilla, but good Halo 3 PC port with mod tools.
Pls, MS.
pls.
Halo 5 custom games and Forge is already available to play on PC btw.
Infinite is coming to PC.
This also makes me optimistic for MCC on PC - which will be the next best thing.
Yeah, the real story here is that just after a major patch for MCC after 4 years there's a possibility at least one Halo game is getting an announcement for PC in the near future.
Nah man, garbage main menu, loading screen, and lobby. Give me OG Halo 3, with skulls I need to find to unlock, and that sweet sweet ring loading screen

The improvements outweigh this.
Especially since it just had a 73 GB update not even two weeks ago. Also who gives a flying fuck about the menus? You can already watch those on PC.
Literally what improvements?
The only good thing about MCC is it runs 60 FPS and HD. Both of which are a no-brainier for a PC port anyway.
Get that post-launch non-bungie UI trash out of it.
halo 5 is fun so kinda ok with this
People will do that anyways.
sadly we do need halo mcc because 2 doesn't run very well due to gfwl and no server support even though it had local server support, and halo 1 is not even sold anywhere other than old boxed copies for win 98, and 3 never got a port. it would be better for us if we could get one game with the original trilogy on it instead of a bunch of different copies with varying levels of playability
Halo Reach for PC when.
I mean the actual toolchain à la Halo CE / Halo 2
MCC also has Halo 4, so it's 3 more games. Much better than having them start from the ground up on porting a decade old game just cause muh menus
just port MCC you cockwads, it's not like Halo 3 PC already exists over here as a fan project or anything
I hope this won't get overlooked, next stop, Reach and ODST baby
Plus MCC PC would mean Halo 1 Anniversary and Halo 2 anniversary.
I love H2 anniversary.
Halo 2 you can just use Project Cartographer, which patches in a bunch of fixes anyway.
Well ODST is already out for MCC so that will come first if MCC PC becomes a thing.
ElDewrito has that main menu (with the Halo 3 Beta version that's scrolling through Valhalla), But I don't think we'll get that loading screen.
Keep in mind there ARE preliminary Halo 3 and ODST porting tools for ElDewrito, they posted this in April 2017:

Maybe someday those tools will get out and we can get the actual Xbox 360 Halo 3.
I must've missed that when I borrowed my brother's xbox
Halo Online was based off the ODST engine wasn't it?
