Saber only did the Campaign Graphics Layer for HaloCE and Halo 2. They have nothing to do with the Multiplayer part.

Halo F2P? Omg. I can't believe in what I'm seeing - my biggest fear has come true.
Well, makes sense to release in Russia first since Saber is russian.

mixed feelings.
Not going to shit on it until people have played it to see how it turns out, who knows it could be rather fun....maybe.

Huh, cool. Have fun, Russia.
There were multiple companies. Saber only did graphics I think. The company that made sleeping dogs did the turd of a UI for MCC

NO
They only made singleplayer content, multiplayer was created by the BUNCH of other studios.

We are "excited" to NOT give PC gamers a traditional SP campaign experience beyond Halo1/Halo2 on PC. Thanks, but no thanks, MS. We know you will be launching this worldwide. Don't hide it.

Their AAA games could do very well on PS4 as well. They need something to sell the Xbox One, and lets face it, the hardware will not move itself.

The post makes it sound very much that the beta is the only thing planned to be exclusive to Russia. More of a test market deal than anything I bet.

Can't you buy Halo 4 in Russia?
I'm surprised they are calling it "Halo Online". See the logo on Halo Waypoint
If they intend it to exist only in a Siberian exile would they have chosen such a broad (and American?) name?
I would have expected that name for if they were to go ever go after a PlanetSide type MMO.

We can always watch Halo Nightfall here you know.
That is true. My point was that while the F2P segment is profitable it's not the only one worthy of investment and certainly not the only one profitable. GTA 5 as an example is in the top 10 on Steam ever since pre-orders went live. There definitely is a demand for AAA games on PC, otherwise no publishers would bother bringing their AAA multiplatform games to PC.
Microsoft are uniquely positioned to leverage their Windows 10 - Xbox ecosystem, will they do it ? Only time will tell. They have certainly claimed more first-party games are headed to Windows 10 but promises don't have to be kept in this day and age.

What in the hell is this thing?
Can we just get their current list of broken PC versions fixed up and released on Steam/GOG?
Halo, Halo 2, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, etc.
Once I have analyzed her behavior and movement patterns I will be able to properly consume her and take her identity so I can become the booth babe. Begone goat man you are distracting me.

I would rebuy Gears of War. Even if it's exclusive to the Windows 10 store.

Terrible designed spartan suits, check.
There is nothing wrong with the halo 1 and 2 armors yet these newer games try to shove in designs which look overdone and dumb.
This is a PC game, for the russian PC market which is why it's free to play.
The rest of us get to live the struggle with the master chief collection, russians too if they want too.
That's a cut and paste of what's called a "rude qa" which is supposed to be for reference not for verbatim publication.
The more you know.

Will be interesting if some aspects are a huge hit, do they implement them in Halo 6 or whatever.
Yup, good Spartan armor design ended with Halo Reach. The new stuff looks too anime inspired.
i know shikai Wang made the first chief sketch which was very anime inspired, but the final result was anything but
I don't know why you ever expected Halo the MCC to hit PC, that just won't happen.
Why not? We already have Halo 1 and Halo 2 on PC.

At this point, the dream is indeed dead for Halo MCC on PC.
