Halo: Reach is coming to the PC later today and 343 Industries has confirmed that mods will work on the single-player campaign mode. According to the developers, Halo: Reach is coming with an Anticheat on the PC that players can disable while launching the game.
By disabling Anticheat, PC gamers will be able to play the single-player campaign, as well as some custom matches. Obviously, this will also be a work around for enabling/using mods.
As 343 Industries stated when a fan asked whether the game will support mods.
“We’re still working to improve this down the road, but for now you will have an option when you launch to bypass anticheat. This will allow you to play around with campaign and customs but not allow you to play any match made games. I highly suggest making a copy/backup of anything you modify so you’ll be able to switch back and forth easily.”
Halo: Reach releases later today. Microsoft has not sent us a review code, however, we’ve already purchased the game so we can share our first performance impressions of it.
Stay tuned for more!

Great news. This is quite the turnaround for Microsoft since the initial dark days of Windows 10 Store UWP. Bravo!
Agreed! stoked to play this later today
I’ll most likely wait for the full collection to be complete before buying it. I certainly won’t be buying it on faith before then because I trust Microsoft about as much as the next person!
It seems they really care about bringing the PC port to life properly. Can’t wait to get my hands on it now

They are very greedy. To whom they even send keys? from what i know Microsoft doesn’t send you s***t unless you are some console fanboy with 1mil minimum subs on YT.
Going to be buying my copy today on steam ?

Lol. GTX 770 for Min 4k. Thats awesome!
This game looks great and plays great. And it does so on a massive amount of hardware out there. This is also going to help it sell tons and tons.

It’s almost like the vast overwhelming majority of PC gamers couldn’t care less for the graveyard of gaming that is Windows 10 Store and that Microsoft were consequently forced into recognising that apparent truth. Who’d have thunk it!
Remaster done right (so far)
