Während "Halo 2" morgen für den PC erscheint, steht schon "Halo 3" in den Startlöchern, das bald getestet werden soll.
Während "Halo 2" am 12. Mai 2020 für den PC erscheinen wird, will 343 Industries so schnell wie möglich mit "Halo 3" weitermachen. Der erste Beta-Test soll deswegen in den nächsten Wochen stattfinden, zuerst aber nur mit einer kleinen Anzahl von Mitgliedern des Insider-Programms ("Ring 1"). Später werden jedoch mehr dazu kommen. Ausserdem haben die Entwickler passend zum morgigen "Halo 2"-PC-Launch eine Liste mit bekannten Fehlern veröffentlicht, und es sind nicht wenige. An vielen Problemen wird bereits gearbeitet.
