343 Industries is going to add Halo: Reach to Halo: Master Chief Collection – and they won’t ignore the PC version of the package when it comes to the expansion.

The last „flight” (this is how 343 Industries calls the betas), according to the developers, is going to happen possibly as early as Monday, October 28, if the team can fix the issues that prevent them from going to Insider Ring 3 with the beta. Let’s see what the flight will offer us:

„

Campaign Missions

• Halo: Reach Campaign Missions: Noble Actual and Winter Contingency.

Firefight Matchmaking Offerings

• 4-player Heroic standard Firefight: will be played on Beachhead, Corvette, and Holdout.
• 4-player Normal grab bag Firefight: will be played on Beachhead, Corvette, and Holdout.

Multiplayer Matchmaking Offerings

• 2v2 Social: Slayer will be played on maps Countdown, Powerhouse, and Zealot.
• 4v4 Social: Slayer, Flag and Bomb, Zone Control, Asset Denial, and Action Sack will be played on Countdown, Powerhouse, Zealot, and Tempest.
• 8v8 Social: Slayer, Flag and Bomb, Zone Control, and Asset Denial, will be played on Tempest, Breakpoint, and Ridgeline.
• Halo: Reach Team Hardcore: Slayer and Capture the Flag will be played on maps Countdown and Zealot.
• Halo: Reach Invasion: Invasion will be played on the map Breakpoint. Our flight goal is to test our PvP matchmaking and get your feedback, so be sure to load in and play with us!

According to 343 Industries, the beta will take eight days, so it will be going for at least a full week to make Halo: Reach playable on PC one last time before it is being added to Halo: Master Chief Collection proper. Meanwhile, the team is developing Halo: Infinite, which is going to launch late last year on the Xbox Project Scarlett as a launch title, and it will also be available on Xbox One and PC, too. (And neither of the ports will be „a second-class citizen” according to the devs.)
