I hope they allow custom servers. As I really want to play Halo Tribes:

Oh no doubt, this is fucking Halo after all. Windows store isn't the worst platform, though it does have a fucking awful and convoluted UI and is extremely bare bones as a store, it'll let you buy your games and will keep them up to date and won't interfere with you playing them (I have state of Decay 2 on Win Store) so it's definitely less of a hastle than people assume.
ODST is already out as DLC for MCC
Custom servers if not allowed at first, will be made. You can do lan already with halo 3 by default, so I can't imagine it'd be too hard to go from there with servers.
That, and we have Halo Online dedicated servers made by the community near exclusively so I imagine people who actually know what they're doing will be able to make dedicated server software if microsoft doesn't give us it.
Could be even sooner than the article says, as there's supposed to be a big Halo announcement at SXSW this year during the Halo Championship Series, and that is literally this month.
Honestly, I think that seems more likely. MCC on PC announced during SXSW, while E3 is dedicated more to Halo Infinite.
Brad Sams himself has begun posting under the Reddit post for the video:

For fuck sakes just take my money already.
I'm quite surprised to see so many people eager to get this when, after hearing a lot of disinterest against 343 as a company at all.
I mean it's a collection of xbox games ported to PC which alot of people want to buy, I for one would happily buy the Halo Trilogy on PC due to such fun memories of Halo CE developing a weird as hell mod community and the fact Halo 2 had a terrible vista port.
I'm so fucking confused as to how we don't have Halo 3 on PC yet.

Nail in the coffin.

YO, it has to be it.
Someone with a cold dose of reality give me an alternate reason why they would push forward the announcement, outside of knowing that the jig is up.
If it's something that will disappoint everyone who is expecting PC MCC, it would probably be better to move it up so the rumor has less chance to spread.
I think the "the jig is up, announce it earlier" explanation is more likely but it's not the only explanation. I'd give it 3:2 odds.
God fucking dammit. It's starting to put a smile on my face. I am going to be so fucking disappointed if it isn't a PC announcement now.

Sounds like speculation for it being Gamepass only, but he is thinking marketing wise, so it could be the possibility, they did try to sell Vista with Halo 2, that last actual release of a halo game on pc
That would be 100% bullshit and lead to 100% piracy day 1
Only because of the games they made themselves. The Bungie-made games are, imho, timeless classics.
Personally, my only problem is that when they released Halo Anniversary, they removed a line of 343 Guilty Spark's dialogue in order to make it fit in with the retcon they made in Halo 4 that Forerunners are no longer the ancestors of humans like it was implied in the original trilogy. I REALLY hated that retcon, and I hope the MCC didn't do a similar thing with Halo 3.
They didn't and it'd be pretty hard, considering 343GS literally says it as the twist in one of the last cutscenes. They'd have to give Halo 3 an Anniversary overhaul with completely new cutscenes to change that.
The line You are Forerunner, but this ring is mine is still there. Though I'm not sure what line in Halo 1 you're talking about, I don't think they touched the classic mode cutscenes.
I hope I'll get the PC version for free as I already purchased it on the Xbone storefront
Them not making Warzone a f2p release on Pc continues to weird me out
I can't remember any lines being removed for Halo CE Anniversary. Got a link to the cutscene?
Also, they made a line that he says in the 'Two Betrayals' cutscene that's supposed to be out of rampancy an actual part of the story ("Last time you asked me...")
WIndows Store regional prices fucking suck ass, but I wanted to play Halo 3 for a long time, and getting an Xbox One X for this purpose is stupid, so maybe I'll actually buy it, even though it will cost 2.5-3 times the usual price I'd see on Steam
In the final level, where 343 talks about raiding the Pillar Of Autumns data banks for "all our lost time! "Human History", is it?". That line is gone, last time I checked.
That line is still there

As someone who has never had the occasion to own an Xbox and therefore missed out on a big chunk of gaming history, this is exciting

I like that 343i pushed the 360 graphically with h4 and I can appreciate that they're trying to make "their own" Halo but it is a shame the direction they took things in
I can't really get too mad that they're retconning stuff, considering Bungie themselves retconned what happened in many of the books, but eh oh well
Hrm, either it was a bug in my version (it was the version for the 360, not the Xbone MCC version) or it got re-added later.
It's probably a bug in the 360 version because Saber Interactive did NOT do a good job with the original CEA. The effects of their bad job still echo into the current version of the MCC.
