Here's our Halo 3 PC review. Halo 3 was originally released back in 2007, at a time when full HD resolution was considered the pinnacle for visual acuity. The game marked the conclusion of an epic trilogy, wrapping up all loose ends from the previous games, including addressing the very frustrating cliff-hanger that was the ending of Halo 2. After 13 years, we finally get the game on PC, not as a port, but a remaster. Halo 3 for PC has been “updated” keeping modern gaming systems in mind. Using the 2014 remaster as the base, the PC version for Halo 3 brings support for resolution up to 4K and also unlocked frame rates. Additionally, there is also the ability to adjust the field of view, which is great if you’re gaming on an ultra-wide monitor. The Master Chief Collection will include all the Halo main games, starting with Halo: Combat Evolved and ending at Halo 4, all released in chronological order of events.

Storyline
Halo 3 follows Master Chief across a host of worlds as he fends off Covenant, in a final battle against the Flood. The storyline has not changed in any way from the original game and there is no extra content here in terms of levels or cut scenes. If you haven’t played the previous Halo games, you will still enjoy the campaign mode, although you will have plenty of questions. You could always just read the synopsis of the first two games before sinking your teeth into Halo 3.

Graphics And Gameplay
We played the game at 1440p on PC and got a stable average frame rate of 92 fps with the graphics set to Enhanced, the highest graphics settings that can be chosen for Halo 3 on PC. The game also offers “original” and “performance” graphics settings, but no granular. When we dropped the resolution down to 1080p, our frame rate jumped up to 108fps. The system we played the game on has the following configuration:

Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K (stock clocks)
RAM: 32GB DDR4@3200MHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
Storage: 1TB SSD

Conclusion
Overall, Halo 3 for PC continues to be as exciting and engaging as the original game, albeit, with significantly improved graphics. If you have the PC hardware, you can enjoy the game in 4K 60fps glory, on a large format TV or even a gaming monitor. The new Master Chief collection for PC is great of both fans of the franchise and even first-time players who finally want to get a taste of Halo. Master Chief Collection for PC can be purchased from both Steam and Windows Store, although, if you have GamePass for PC, then the game is included in your subscription and can only be downloaded from the Windows Store. This now only leaves two more games in the MCC collection; Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 that are yet to make their way to PC. As things stand right now, Halo 5 is not headed to PC, mostly since it wasn’t a part of the Master Chief Collection, and 343 Industries so far have not made any mention of the game coming to PC. However, Halo Infinite is expected to launch later this year, on both the Xbox and PC, so leaving Halo 5 out of the PC list would be a very undesirable choice. Hopefully, 343 Industries might announce the Halo 5: Guardians remaster at the Halo Infinite launch, but for now, what we have is a visually rich rebirth of a classic Halo game.
