Halo: The Master Chief Collection Is Coming To Steam
forestHonoring the iconic hero and his epic journey, The Master Chief’s story is brought together with a total of 67 campaign missions plus more than 120 multiplayer maps (including the original Halo Combat Evolved maps) and Spartan Ops maps. Now built for PC with mouse and keyboard support and up to 4K UHD and HDR, this is the collection Halo fans have been waiting for!
The system requirements are pretty vague right now. It's unclear if you'll be needing Windows 10 with DirectX 12 or not. This may have something to do with Microsoft bringing DirectX 12 to Windows 7 today (https://www.anandtech.com/show/14078/microsoft-brings-dx12-to-windows-7)
Halo 5 is missing from the collection, it's also unclear if it will be added at a later date or not.
The PC version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection will include the following games:
- Halo 1
- Halo 2
- Halo 3
- Halo ODST
- Halo Reach
- Halo 4
There will also be over 120 multiplayer maps, 67 single player campaign missions, and there's some mention about "forge", which could mean mods.
On the down side, the system requirements are very vague right now and there's no mention of how much space you'll need. Here are the following file sizes for the Xbox One version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection:
- Halo 1: 3.5 GB
- Halo 2: 44.1 GB
- Halo 3: 11.7 GB
- Halo 4: 18.8 GB
- Halo ODST: 8.2 GB
- Total – 86.9 GB
The PC version may be different, but it's probably safe to assume we're looking at 70 to 100GB for the PC version of the entire Master Chief Collection.
