Taking place in the distant future, Master Chief must save Earth from total destruction after a religious pact of aliens known as the Covenant invades the planet. With the lack of remaster, most recent systems will have no problem running it.In Halo 3's main story campaign, players control Master Chief, a super-soldier in the United Nations Space Command military. It's a fine time to lose yourself in the adventures of Master Chief again. For your money, you get Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, and Halo 3, with Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 set to be included in the future.

It's possible to pick up Halo 3 separately for £6.99 but the better deal is the full Halo: The Master Chief Collection for £29.99. Other changes have also been implemented such as the addition of challenges for all titles, tweaks to the skill rank backend for Ranked Matchmaking, and a few adjustments to audio for both Halo: Reach and Halo 3.

It's been updated with new features including "object physics, rotation, coordinate snap and precision edit tools." For those keen to design their own multiplayer maps, this should be rather appealing.

For instance, Forge game mode is now back for Halo: Reach, Halo 2: Anniversary and Halo 3. The introduction of Halo 3 has also led to a bunch of new features and fixes for The Master Chief Collection. As the site points out, that's to be expected given the age of the game and the fact it hasn't been remastered but that's still pretty nice to see. Anecdotal reports suggest that the game runs pretty well with TechPowerUp reporting that they managed to achieve 150+ FPS on 4K and maximum quality settings with an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. It has support for 4K and 60+ FPS visuals, along with the ability to work effectively with ultra wide monitors, FOV customisation and more.

The game comes with some enhanced features compared to its original release. Halo 3 is widely regarded as the best Halo game out there (feel free to dispute that until the end of time) and is sure to delight many. Now available on PC through Steam, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and the Microsoft Store, it's part of the continuing efforts of the Master Chief Collection on the PC, offering enhanced versions of all the main Halo games. Halo 3 has finally launched for the PC, a mere 13 years after its original release on Xbox 360.
