Microsoft is now sending out redeemable download codes to early Halo: The Master Chief Collection adopters through Xbox Live, according to incoming reports.
Late last year, developer 343 Industries promised a free Halo 3: ODST campaign download to anyone who purchased Halo: The Master Chief Collection on or before December 19, 2014. Like other titles in the collection, the campaign’s visuals have been upgraded to a 1080p resolution and 60 FPS frame rate.
As of this writing, a specific announcement on the game’s official release date hasn’t been made, but users are definitely getting messages with the redeemable code inside. Have a look at your inbox, if you meet the requirements. Also expected soon for the same group of users is a free download of the new Halo 2 Anniversary map, Remnant.
UPDATE 1: Official patch notes for the latest content update are now live, mentioning the new Halo 3: ODST campaign and Remnant map. You can read the full list of new features and improvements right here.
UPDATE 2: Check out the new video commentary with 343 Industries Senior Game Designer, Max Szlagor and original Halo 3: ODST Developer Joseph State embedded above.
