If you've been waiting to continue Master Chief's story on PC, another chapter is nearly here. Today, Xbox announced that Halo 2 would arrive on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on May 12. Much like Halo: Combat Evolved, this includes both the original graphics and the newly enhanced visuals from the Anniversary edition.

You can also pick up a special Halo 2 mousepad while you wait for the game to arrive. At the current rate the games are being ported over, it's likely that every entry in The Master Chief Collection will arrive on PC before Halo Infinite, which is set to release sometime in Holiday 2020.
