Xbox 360 exclusive Halo 3 will finally make its PC debut next weekend as part of The Master Cheif collection. PC gamers will be able to buy the title via the Microsoft Store or Steam and will be available for free as part of the Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers.

Many speculate due to its initial popularity, that the title’s multiplayer feature will be the draw for players. The title is known for introducing a Forge mode that allowed players to manipulate where weapons and vehicles appear on a map. Customizable maps were a big part of what made Halo 3 feel so grand, and according to reports 343 Industries has recently been testing the forge, campaign, and multiplayer elements of the game with testers.
