HALO’S RELATIONSHIP with the PC has always been rocky. We had to wait for 2019’s Master Chief Collection to finally bring the Xbox games (which began life on the Mac) to Windows, but even then they were slowly drip-fed to PC users over the course of a year. It’s a lot to expect Halo Infinite to make up for these 18 years waiting for a proper Halo PC launch, but this is a darned good attempt.
The Halo story has become convoluted across the last six or so games, but the basics are that a war between the religious collective known as the Covenant and humanity ended up including mysterious ringworlds that were built as a doomsday weapon system to wipe out a voracious species known as the Flood. The fact this means wiping out all sentient life in the galaxy doesn’t seem to have sounded like such a bad thing to the weapon’s creators.
