How very nice of them, it's such a rare thing to see on PC
I don't have to buy an xbone anymore. Thanks MS.
>>338292725
Just be happy HALO is coming to PC.
There are hopes for the MCC yet.
>>338292868
The whole series isn't available on PC, so I don't care. Every game in the series or fuck off.
Also >Win10
>People don't realize this is just another part of MS's plot to get more retards to downgrade to BotNet 10.
Why would i play halo on pc when i can play (and don't) Doom ?
>>338292601
>free online multiplayer
Kek, this shit only fly on console.
>>338293038
>Why would i play halo on pc when i can play Doom
I don't know, why play Dark Souls when you could play Sonic the Hedgehog instead?
>>338292868
It's not coming to PC. It's coming to Windows 10. There is a difference.
give us halo 3 or fuck off
343 sucks cock
>>338293151
doom mp is basically halo anon
its even made by the same people
>>338293292
>There is a difference
No, there literally isn't. You need a PC to run Windows 10.
>>338292979
I sure hope that you aren't using Google, 4chan, or windows 7, and browse through a custom built VPN that you have exclusive access to, because otherwise someone already knows all the shit you have and all the sites you've visited.
>>338293417
yes, but you don't need windows 10 to run a PC
>>338293463
Are you pretending to be retarded?
>Halo
>Need online friends to play
Hmmm
>>338293417
Halo 5 is on consoles! Just going to play it on my PS4 right now.
Nice, sucks for those tin foil hat cucks tho
Win 10 is fine
i've been pirating shit non stop on it and never had any issues
i don't even have a microsoft account
>don't download win 10 it's botnet
>has a smart phone in pocket
I'm not really interested in Halo, never have been.
Guess it's nice for peasants that actually want to experience the game properly though.
>>338293569
I fucking hate retard Pepe, as if regular frogposting wasn't bad enough.
>>338293703
>>338293352
reach too plz
dat sweet sweet forge world and customs
m8 i legitimately miss good halo games fuck 4
>Only forge
>Have to use W10 and the Xbox App
>Can't play multiplayer unless you load it on Xbone
What a dumb thing. It's essentially for people who want to forge with kb+m, that's it.
Is it possible to dual boot Win7 and Win10 in such a way that you can limit which partitions 10 has access to so Microsoft can't fuck up my computer?
I can get Win10 education edition for free from my uni, but I want to keep using 7 for daily tasks, general gaming, and other shit until 10's privacy/security/compatability/usability flaws are fixed.
>>338293352
There's Dewrito
It's even got the shitty 3 forge you faggots seem to love so much
Most PC games are Windows only anyway, you may as well call them Windows games. Don't get Windows 10 though, it's a pile of trash.
>>338293880
>until 10's privacy/security/compatability/usability flaws are fixed
when would that be exactly anon ?
you can disable the spying shit
if you really think they're spying on you anyway with the shit turned off than guess what, they're probably doing it on win 7 too
>>338292601
>free online multiplayer
What the fuck? Every MP is free on PC. This isn't onconsole, that's not a marketing plus.
>>338293998
tell me why please
i love halo but i also love w7 and everyone badmouths w11
>no master chief collection + online
Into the trash it goes
>>338293880
It has almost no compatibility issues that I'm aware of. It's as secure as any other modern Windows OS. Usability is just fine other than some advanced options having to be searched for.
There are fixes people have made to deal with privacy issues, search up Stop Windows 10 Spying on kat.cr.
>only custom matches with people on your Xbox Live friends list
Literally nothing.
>>338293430
Implying i give a fuck
>>338293862
>>338294236
This. It isn't Halo 5 at all. Not that I care since its shite.
>Even better, Microsoft says that this friends-only multiplayer mode in Windows 10 will fully support mouse-and-keyboard game controls.
Wow I'm so fucking stoked.
>>338292601
who gives a fuck about Halo 5 I want Fable 2 for pc.
>>338292601
Referring to Forge as Halo's "multiplayer experience" is like saying Gmod is Half-Life 2's multiplayer.
>>338294290
>Implying I give a fuck
>after giving a fuck about Windows 10
Ayy
>>338294290
If you don't give a fuck what's your problem with W10?
>>338293539
point is, it really isn't for pc, it is for windows 10
>>338294159
Master Chief Collection never had online, hell, it still doesn't.
>>338292936
What a little bitch
>>338293539
>>338294591
also, I am not the guy who originally replied to you
>>338293862
>It's essentially for people who want to forge with kb+m, that's it.
Exactly.
>>338294595
I'll have you know H4 works completely fine. I mean, who wants to play Halo without sprint and perks anyway?
>>338294595
kek, too true.
>"I HATE MICROSOFT, THEY TAKE MY INFORMATION AND SELL IT >:((((( WINDOWS 10 MORE LIKE SKYNET 10"
>continues to browse 4chan after someone suspected of selling peoples' information became the new administrator of 4chan
I truly, truly, truly do not understand /g/ posters.

Halo 5’s Windows 10 debut to include 4K support, free online multiplayer
Coming "this year," multiplayer will require jumping through level-builder hoops.

This Halo 5 combatant looks like he's praying. If he's praying for some actual Halo 5 on PC, then he's in for some good news.
Microsoft's play to bridge the gap between Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 PCs got a lot more interesting on Thursday thanks to a pretty major Halo 5 announcement. Microsoft and its Halo development house, 343 Industries, have taken the wraps off the awkwardly named Forge–Halo 5: Guardians Edition, which they say will launch for free across Windows 10 "later this year."
This limited free version of Halo 5 won't include the game's single-player campaign, nor will it include multiplayer matchmaking with random opponents. However, Microsoft representatives have confirmed to Ars that the free Windows 10 game will support unfettered online play with anyone on a player's friends list. That means players can create or download a Forge map and invite anyone else playing the Windows 10 version to join in and play to whatever "kill count," time limit, or other win condition they've set. Even better, Microsoft says that this friends-only multiplayer mode in Windows 10 will fully support mouse-and-keyboard game controls.
What's the fucking point of this.
>>338292601
/v/ customs and forge nights soon comrades
>>338294595
Halo 4 works actually :^)
>>338294595
It worked fine before 5 released. Now the population is dead(er).
>>338294827
The difference is chink moot can only sell information I let him have. While if I install Windows 10 Microsoft know more about my computer than even I do.
>>338294906
That actually sounds pretty comfy
>P-please come back!
You can't save your dead game, shitheads. You dug yourselves into this fucking hole, and now you're gonna stay there.
>>338292601
Halo is shit past reach. Who cares? Oh yeah no one.
>caring about forge when all you can create with it are ugly, textureless bullshit like >>338294906
>>338294920
>It worked fine before 5 released
Yeah. I mean as long as we ignore
>Constant crashing
>Audio desync
>Host quitting and no migration despite apparently using dedicated servers
>Players dropping from parties
>H2/H3 having wonky hit detection still
>CE not ending if the enemy team quits
>No booting for betrayals in CE except BTB
>Vanilla maps meaning you can exploit the flare double jump
>Power weapons having wrong timers on certain sides meaning one team can have double the amount of snipers
>Melee doing no damage in CE some times
I can keep going anon.

They've added a shit load more for forge.
That's one of the first btb maps so yeah it's gonna look like shit
>>338294896
Multiplayer is provably dying, (moslty because the xbone is a disaster and dudebro games are actually losing a little strength) so they are putting Multiplayer on pc to Revive the game. I guess they will add a paid matchmaking later. No idea about the SP campaing
>>338294920
No it didn't. Not one fucking bit. I bought an Xbone last October a few weeks before Halo 5 came out along with MCC and barely got to play a handful of multiplayer matches, the rest of the time the matchmaking simply didn't function.
>>338295684
But you can only play with friends from your friendlist.
This reminds me of when I used to play games with Hamachi.
If they are going to do it, at least put a proper multiplayer mode.
If they really think console players are going to bail Xbone for this they are delusional.
>>338295684
>Multiplayer is provably dying
Xboner here. It was never in the top ten most played on Xbl. The few times I saw it pop up were because of the free dlc updates. And now since there's no way of checking since M$ removed it from the store, I'm gonna assume it's staying the same.
>>338295684
Halo 5 was never alive to begin with, it took them 2 months to sell 1 million copies. Considering how huge Halo once was, that level of flop speaks for itself.
>>338295413
>Power weapons having wrong timers on certain sides meaning one team can have double the amount of snipers
Valhalla was great for this. Shame they fixed the splaser constantly spawning though, matches turning in to splasers versus snipers were fun as fuck.
>>338293412
I think Halo 5 is more geared towards PROxXxMLG ESPORTS players than DOOM is. Halo 5 has no loadouts in the competitive arena multiplayer and is 4v4, and DOOM has loadouts and is 6v6
>>338293587
>no reply
I fucking hate when people get wrecked and then try to pretend they didn't hear
>KB+M support
Nice! The only reason why I don't play Halo 5 multiplayer is the god awful gamepad controls. I refuse to play multiplayer FPS with a controller.
>MP is limited to playing with people on your friends list
Oh. They can come back and get my attention when they've got matchmaking for the PC version, I assume they'll charge for it when they're ready
>windows 10
>>338294216
Try running Bully or Fallout 3 on windows 10. Can't be done.
Also many disc based PC games don't work because microsoft put out an update a few months ago that can only be uninstalled on win7 / 8. You're missing out on so many great games by downgrading familia
>>338294216
Mate I've been trying for the past three months to run Generals without having to run a virtual machine
You got any suggestions for me?
>>338294906
As long as Halo Gen is not invited, those guys are huge faggots

on pc we get counter strike for that, m8.
>>338295319
wow just like tf2 and csgo, ugly af
Looks like everything from Xbox one is migrating to Windows 10.
Let's keep pestering then for 360 BC. Might as well now they've gone this far.
>>338298484
that's not an arena shotter you retard, doom is terrible, overwatch has ultimates that assrape, other than lawbreakers coming out, halo is balanced af, even Summit1G will tryhard in it once it comes to pc, too bad it's just fucking custom games
>>338298589
lol that's a feature that will probably stay on xbone, it's emulating, not only that it gives a whole new source of income since black cocks 1 just sold 50k copies
>>338298697
why not continue with quake and ut then? will m$ force everyone to play competitive on pc (take away from xbone: their main source of income) or on xbone (where nobody with an iota of brain want to compete on)
>Restricted to friends list
It's fucking shit dude
>>338295206
Halo was shit past 3, get it right.
>>338294896
IT's pretty much giving PC players a taste so that they will go out and buy an Xbone for Halo 5.
>>338299248
They do know that one shooter of a franchise well past it's prime is not going to do much, right?
>>338292868
>be happy that a mediocre game is coming to windows
>be happy that it has the most basic of features that even indie games have
>be happy that it's gonna require the absolutely awful windows store
wooooooooooah
>>338293862
This.
Thank for God halo online

>>338292834
you need xbox one ownership
Still not downloading Win10.
I'll wait for someone to crack it. I'm patient.
