Halo: The Master Chief Collection is well past its first steps on PC, Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 2: Anniversary being available. Players get almost the entire package, including the campaign, playable both solo and in co-op and multiplayer modes.

But how can you play Halo: The Master Chief Collection in co-op and does it feature all co-op options that its Xbox counterpart had?

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Co-op

On PC, Halo: The Master Chief Collection features both online co-op and LAN co-op that supports up to four players. Sadly, splitscreen wasn't included with the launch version of Halo: Reach on PC and hasn't been added so far.

Nevertheless, this still gives players ways of playing the Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 2: Anniversary campaigns in co-op alongside a friend or as part of an entire squad of four.

In order to do so, the designated host needs to first invite the other players to their game sessions. On Steam, you can invite others by right-clicking on their name and selecting the Invite to Lobby option.

Once you've invited everyone, simply select the desired mission and difficulty, and you'll be well on your way to playing Halo: The Master Chief Collection in co-op. Alternatively, you can also take the party into multiplayer or Firefight.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection's crossplay multiplayer support also extends to its co-op mode, some users report. As both Steam and Microsoft Store versions require an Xbox account to play, you can also invite players using the other version to join your session while in-game.

A new update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection has added "experimental" cross-platform co-op for both Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.

The feature will let anyone on PC, Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S play these games' campaigns co-operatively online together.

In patch notes, developer 343 Industries said the cross-play had been tested internally - though the company now needed "additional insight from real players with different networking setups". If you experience issues, you're encouraged to report them so 343 can improve the feature further.

Other changes included in the patch include improvements to ODST Firefight and Floodfight, Custom Game Browser tweaks including a new Quick Match option, fresh skulls for Halo 2, 3 and ODST, new medals in Halo 3, mod tools for ODST, and dozens more general bug fixes.

It's a little surprising to see 343 going to the effort of adding campaign co-op to Halo 3 and ODST now - but perhaps this is a precursor to work for Infinite?

Halo Infinite's second season, Lone Wolves, is set to arrive on 3rd May and will contain new maps, modes, themed limited-time events, and a fresh Battle Pass.

It won't, however, contain Infinite's long-awaited campaign co-op and Forge modes.

Recently, 343 community director Brian Jarrard said the studio understood some fans were "simply out of patience" with the game's various frustrations, and that his team was "certainly not happy to be unable to meet player and community expectations".
