https://www.pcgamer.com/halo-the-master-chief-collection-hits-the-top-of-the-charts-on-steam/
Halo finally made the big splash on PC today with the release of The Master Chief Collection on Steam and, if you're into that sort of thing, the Microsoft Store. And in case there was any doubt that PC gamers want it (and want it bad), the collection is currently the number-one selling game on Steam, while the standalone Halo: Reach holds down third place.

MODS/EMULATORS

Play as the Mandalorian in this Star Wars Battlefront 2 mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/play-as-the-mandalorian-in-this-star-wars-battlefront-2-mod/
While you wait for modders to add The Mandalorian's real star, Baby Yoda, to Star Wars Battlefront 2, you can already play his henchman, the Mandalorian. A few mods have been put together since the show was announced, but the latest, created by Claymaver2000 and Savager34, is the closest to the real deal so far.
The Mandalorian mod uses Boba Fett as a base, and along with his armour and equipment being re-textured, the jetpack has also been replaced with a rifle to keep his gear more in line with the show. It's just a cosmetic change, however, so the jetpack ability still works, keeping him functional in multiplayer.
