343 Industries has announced that the public beta/flight phase for Halo 3 will begin next month. To be more precise, the team aims to launch the public beta in the first half of June.
As 343 Industries stated:
“Halo 3 is next up on the menu for coming to MCC on PC. We are already underway with early stages of flighting in Ring 1. Next week, we aim to get the completely paired down flight build into our partners hands, which is much sooner than usual. Our goal is to have the Halo 3 public flight kicked off in the first half of June.”
Do note that Halo 3 in Halo: The Master Chief Collection is not a remaster. In other words, don’t expect the same graphics overhaul we got with Halo Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary. Also, and contrary to Halo and Halo 2, this will be the first official release of Halo 3 on the PC.
In Halo 3, the war has come to a climax; the Flood continues to grow in numbers and strength, the armies of Earth are scattered and decimated, and the Covenant threatens to activate the Halo, effectively destroying all life in the galaxy. Master Chief’s mission is to stop the Covenant, destroy the impending Flood threat and, ultimately, save mankind.
After the release of Halo 3, 343 Industries will focus on Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4. These will be the final two games that will be coming to the PC.
Lastly, there are still no plans to release Halo 5’s single-player campaign on the PC.
Stay tuned for more!

No HDR, Halo 2 lags, low fps, freezes, bugs… Bad, Bad this Game… Horrible port
Yeah they are rushing these out with hardly any time to fix anything. It is a shame that after all the time PC players had to wait they are treating the ports like this.
What? Halo 2 and 1 were flawless. Had 0 issues with them. Good lord, you ni**er loving faggots whine about everything.
There are many issues with both and if you didn’t notice them you didn’t pay attention. Halo 2 suffers from stuttering and Halo 1 is COMPLETELY BROKEN in multiplayer.
No need. Beat them both with 0 issues. Oh btw, ur still a dumb a*s ni**er loving f*g.
These videos do a good job of showing most of the remaining issues with this version of the game. The choppy looking cut scenes and effects are very noticeable.

A lot of what’s mentioned in that video is factually wrong not to mention the entire video is admittedly “pre-release” and wasn’t using the ACTUAL Halo CE anniversary release.
All of these issues are in the release version of the game. The flights last like a week before going full release so not much changes. They are rushing them out. Reach still has a ton of issues.
Halo 2 has insane stuttering for no reason but other than that yes it’s perfect.
No HDR, yes. They should add that for PC.
Halo 2 lags, maybe.
Low fps…? No… unless you’re on a ancient PC.
Freezes…? It only froze once on my PC (after many hours of play)
Bugs, yes. There some bugs. Like almost every game that releases nowadays.

Cant argue with bots and stupid people. ofc they
hey are rushing these out 343 are terrible
Why not just have a beta for everyone who bought the collection. Instead of theses bullshit flights
Because then we would be complaining about how unfinished it is.
I think Halo 1-3 have had more work done because of the xbox version. They took forever on Reach because it wasn’t a simple copy&paste.
