Why is nobody talking about this?
From what I gather, you will be required to use an Xbox Controller to play as well, so maybe it'll have cross platform multiplayer?
>>340506712
Because we had a handful of threads about it two weeks ago.
>>340507145
Well, shit. I'm sorry I missed that.
Any idea if it's legitimate or not?
I don't fucking want that abortion, I want Halo 3. I would be shocked if they actually fixed the problems that the MCC had just for a PC release.
>>340507232
If Halo MCC is released on PC, and they do it the RIGHT way (which is very doubtful) it would be fantastic.
I would love to play Halo 2 and Halo 3 online again.
The ability to play with my friends that have Xbox One's would make it particularly awesome.
>>340507205
The guy who leaked the Dead Rising 4 shit (Which is all but confirmed to be legit) said that Halo 5 and Sunset Overdrive were to be announced as having W10 ports this E3, but MCC was staying put. However, M$ explicitly said that Halo 5 isn't going anywhere when PC Gamer contacted them this morning, so really, I don't really think anyone knows for absolute certain.
>>340506712
>Windows Store
And nothing of value was lost.
>>340506785
>you will be required to use an Xbox Controller to play as well
Phil better not let this happen
>>340507497
I'd personally rather have MCC. The only reason I would play 5 is to beat the campaign.
To each their own I suppose, but I miss playing Halo 3 online.
>>340507497
Halo 5 is going to windows 10, but i believe it is just for forge. So you can build maps that will be used on xbox one. Still good for me, but pc users shouldnt get their hopes up.
>>340507606
If they were to make that requirement I'd say that it should only be enabled if you choose to enable cross-play.
>>340507661
Nah, it was aside from that Forge thing. He said that the full game was actually going to receive a port in the near future, which turned out to be false.
>>340507631
Some of the custom game maps on halo 5 are fucking insanely fun. And even a couple of remakes from halo 3. I wasnt a fan of halo 5 the first month but i cant stop going back to it now
>Windows 10
No thanks
>>340506785
But you can use a kbm on xbone
>>340507661
Nah man, forge AND custom games are coming to win 10. Which I think personally is pretty legit.
Halo 5 has some pretty phenomenal customs and I think it'll be nice to share games with pc bros. I've enjoyed my xbone through thick and thin but it's about time Microsoft went back to it's PC roots.
>>340506712
>Why is anyone not talking about this game that is shoved in w10
I don't know man
>>340507497
It's also worth noting that another reputable (or someone with some heft) neofag user called that user's prediction into question, however I've heard a few people say that his opinion too is questionable.
It's been a bit of a roller coaster. Who knows what the fuck is going on now.
>W10
>WStore
>Windows 10 exclusive
10 years too late. Nobody gives a shit anymore.
I hope this happens.
Since mods have always worked with UWP, it'd be nice to see what the Halomaps and Eldewrito community can do.
>>340507983
WStore has way better customer support than Steam. I have no problem with it. I'd rather they bring us good ports like KI and Forza than focus on backporting an entire api that's still being developed.
>>340506712
Uh because it's going to be Windows 10 only and require Windows restricted shit store service.
>microgay store
>win10
don't give a fuck
why do people actually give a fuck about halo
it's been dumbed down console shit since day 1
I'm sure all the people who had W10 forced on them would love to purchase this :^)
Would buy it no problem if it wasnt w10 exclusive.
>>340506712
>Probably Maybe Coming To PC
>/v/ acting like they're protecting their privacy by not using windows 10
Oh you autists. Literally the XPfags of this decade.
>>340506712
Because if it comes out exclusively for the Windows Store then I don't give a single shit about it.
I WOULD FUCKING BUY IT DAY ONE AT $60, JUST ALLOW IT ON STEAM AND WIN 7, 8.1 AND 10, FUUUU
>>340508028
doesn't Microsoft remember windows live. why are they pushing the same shit again
maybe they realize the PC audience has gotten dumber and it'll work this time
>>340508106
microsoft is fucking retarded and doesn't really care about the consumer base
>>340508078
This
>>340507232
>I want Halo 3
Then download Eldewrito
>>340506712
It fucking better
>>340506712
>windows 10 only
>on microsoft's steam equivalent
meh. its exceedingly easy to ignore games these days
>>340508106
GFWL was an actual disaster though. It was very difficult to get your game activated and was a general mess all around.
The W10 Store is shit but at least it works. They aren't even comparable.
People just hate the W10 store for the same reason they hate Origin, GOG, etc: it's not Steam.
>>340508078
yeah let's ignore the forced updates and compatibility issues anon
>>340508158
It's not the same thing. Judging by the early posts about a possible port to PC on Eldewrito forums, they're all gonna jump ship once this releases.
>they still haven't upgraded to windows 10
Epic
>>340506785
>>340507606
>>340507697
Still not a good idea since PCfags are huge cheaters. They would find a way to use KBnM to beat controller/console users.
The game shouldn't have cross play. In fact they shouldn't even bring MCC to PC. PC fans deserve better than that piece of shit product that shipped broken and even to this day doesn't work like it's supposed to.
Just make Halo 3 for PC.
>>340508097
No fuck Steam. PC gaming needs competition.
>>340508191
Nice memes, did you get them from /g/?
https://youtu.be/Tzrme9yWens
HALO ANNOUNCED FOR MAC, WINTARDS BTFO.
>>340508239
>PCfags are huge cheaters
>PC fans deserve better
>>340508239
But Xbone is getting KB/M now.
>>340507232
Master chief collection contains 3, just the multiplayer plays maps from 1 2 and 3 sadly so you cant pick if you just wanna play maps from a certain one
>>340508296
Fuck off retard HALO 1&2 were on PC long before MAC
>tfw the steamdb "leak" for Halo 3 still never came to existence
Being able to play BTB on Sandtrap at 120fps is something that I've wanted for a while.
>>340508304
With mods you can :^)
>>340508303
You realize just because a console supports kb/m doesn't mean a game does.
PS4 supports kb/m but I can think of only one game that actually lets you use them
>>340508303
Source? Do I dare hope for the mainstream revival of the RTS?
Why the hate for the Windows store? This means that everyone who already bought the game doesn't have to buy it again on PC. Now us Xbone owners who bought one for Halo can finally get rid of our Xbones.
>>340508362
Yeah you're right. Either way, I'm just glad i'll be playing Halo again.
>>340508347
>UWP
>mods
lol
>>340508332
>accuses me of being a retard
>doesn't get that I was joking because Halo was going to be a Mac exclusive before Microsoft bough them off
>>340508338
It was most likely real.
M$ changed their mind though with the release of W10 and made it exclusive to their store because Steam takes 30%.
Ironic thing is this game would've sold 10x better if it were on Steam.
>>340508078
Except this time Windows 10 is actually completely shittier than 7.
>games are a pain in theass to deal with because they're "apps" now
>shitty mobile metro design
>missing loads of customization features that were present in 7
>telemetry shit at base and forced updates
>both of the 2 listed above are a pain to change or configure manually if you care enough to do it
>rumors of MS hoping to use win10 to detect and terminate illegally pirated files
>older applications not working on the OS because not updated yet
>all of the games released for Windows 10 have been unoptimized trash and mobile ports
>literally forcing people to upgrade against their will if they're naive enough have windows update enabled still
>comes pre-installed with BOTH Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, so you'll have 2 shitty browsers to remove
The ONLY good things about Windows 10 have been the weather/news apps and the future of DX12, and that logon screen cover. They don't even let you customize the retarded blue Windows background at the actual "enter your password" page. The most you can do is edit your registry to make it a flat color. Then DX12 won't be worth actually using for years when game devs start giving a shit about it.
>>340508389
Steambabbies and retards who think UWP can't be modded.
The Xbox app will eventually have a purchase option on it anyway, so you won't need to see the other shit.
>>340508486
>wahhhh all this bloat I can get rid of if I actually did some research to learn how!
You're still the XPfags of the 2010's and you're only delaying the inevitable.
>>340508302
Just because they are cheaters does not mean they deserve shitty products. No fanbase deserves to be fed shit like that no matter how cancerous.
>>340508303
Sounds like a real shit idea if they enable it. Will it be all games or only some? Even if they enabled it for MCC on Xbone you will still have many people use a controller for reasons. Sounds like a boring time since a KBnM player will destroy a controller user.
>>340508486
All these dank memes.
Anon, you sound like a fucking idiot and you have never used windows 10.
>>340508449
Both Killer Instinct and Minecraft UWP have mods. DLL injection is rather simple UWP.
>>340508537
>responded to my post seconds after it was posted
Shoo shill, and read completely.
implying this isn't just Xbox purchase listings on the Windows Store
>>340508486
Quantum Break is the only shit port so far.
Forza Apex, KI were all great ports. Gears got fixed like a week later.
>>340508338
I just bought a 144hz monitor and it's still shipping. If Halo comes to PC just in time for me to get my 144hz g synch monitor and gtx 1070, I'll be in heaven. Especially since they probably won't be very demanding and can probably be maxed out at 1440p 144fps.
>>340508569
>DLL injection is rather simple UWP
Asset modding I can believe, this I'm going to need proof of.
>>340508659
OOOOOOOOOH SHIT, I wonder if my 7870 could run it.
Eldewrito lagged like hell.
>>340508705
You'll definitely be able to run the 360 games. Halo 5 (also rumored to be coming to PC) is probably the only one that would be somewhat demanding.
>Win 10
Why do they keep trying?
>>340508687
Nope, it's the full thing. Anything from changing a few processor instructions in the executable to full-blown mods that change or add new functionality to the app can be done.
Halo 1 and 2 already exist on PC and don't require you to use spyware to run them.
3 and 4 suck.
>>340508553
I have it dual-booted. I couldn't even add the Xbox App to Steam because it's not an .exe.. I looked at the Microsoft and it was 90% mobile and about 4 triple-A title ports, with reviews talking about poor performance. I even played Forza on it as well. That actually performed well, but OBS couldn't capture it unless I did complete monitor capture because lol it's not an .exe. Took a hit on performance for that.
>>340508654
When I played KI it still had garbage screen-tearing. That combined with the ridiculous amount of particle effects the game had made it suffering to play.
All I ask is for Halo 3 to come to PC. If that happens I can die happy. It'll be even more orgasmic if it has a huge modding craze and people make more levels.
>Inb4 Hornets on the warthog run
>>340508804
The only way to legally obtain 1 & 2 is to buy a used physical copy, it's ridiculous that they aren't available for digital download anywhere.
>3 sucks
Sour grapes.
>>340508805
Steam needs to implement UWP like Dxtory and Action! have. There's also an overlay on github if you wanna try that.
I'm pretty sure they're fixed the tearing, because it plays flawlessly on both my PCs, and my mate's.
>>340507887
I was honestly surprised to see how great Forge was in H5, might actually get the game just for that. I recall seeing some shit like adding these spatula looking things at the end of banshees to scoop other vehicles into kill zones
>>340508805
Killer Instinct requires that the game runs at 90fps for ultra smooth online play. That has to be why.
>>340508906
Is H5 forge better than H3? If so, how?
And what about custom games settings? Halo had a ton of custom game options.
>>340508802
Okay that's great if true, can I check out a POC of this somewhere?
>>340508969
Yeah, they added a ton of features. Like you can change the textures of objects and stuff.
>>340508659
You do realise gsync is really just a DRM chip you paid 200 dollars for, right?
The rest of the industry giants like LG and Samsung are offering Freesync for free and without added cost, because it's the VESA standard.
So Xbone has no exclusive games anymore?
>>340509064
Gears 4!!!
>>340508659
Killer Instinct had to be locked at 60 fps to run at normal speed
Considering 343 kept going on about how 60 fps was vital to Halo 5's engine, you can expect the same thing there.
>>340508876
>caring about legal downloads for games over 10 years old
>Sour grapes.
Nah. Every Halo is worse than the one before it, 5 nonwithstanding.
So it'll need xbox live gold to play online right?
This is just a full jew attempt at more printable money
>>340509046
I got the monitor refurbished for $300 less than the new price, and I don't care about using proprietary standards as long as they work.
Halo 3 on PC.
Do you make your online character
>Elite
or
>Human
I better not be the only one doing Elites
>>340509240
pretty sure it won't because GoW: Ultimate Edition doesn't
>>340506712
It's a unified web store, so just like the PSN Store every game isn't going to work on every system.
>>340509120
Displayed at 60fps, but the game is rendered at 90fps.
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/07/22/killer-instinct-runs-at-90fps-displays-at-only-60fps/
>>340508969
It's an actual map editor now, not just plopping down props in a default map. Textures look pretty bad tho, like those Orange maps from CS or TF2. Its still got some pretty great tools to make crazy maps, so the potential is high.
https://youtu.be/pxCBsfyUJIE
>>340509265
Then you did the smart thing.
The rest of the clowns in the market are literally paying those 200 dollars extra for a DRM chip which locks the feature to a particular graphics card vendor.
This is essentially retardation on an even higher level than consoles.
>>340508036
m'lady
>>340509046
Nvidia are stubborn and don't support freesync yet FYI. He'd have to get an AMD GPU as well and a lot of people are prejudiced against AMD cards.
>>340509008
Using the API functions added in 8.1, you launch the app in a suspended state and go about the injection that way.
Running the mod from outside the sandbox bypasses any securities.

>muh goldeneye 007
>>340509384
New textures are being added, but people are already doing impressive things with the existing tools.
>>340509384
Has anyone made any cool racetracks or that "smear the queer" mode? I only remember the mode for the name, but racetracks were my favorite custom games/maps in H3.
>>340509432
>yet
It's just a matter of time.
In just a few months, the VESA standard has output almost 3 times as many Freesync monitors than gsync managed to make in over a year.
It's kinda sad how Microsoft have clung onto Halo for the Xbox all these years because it's the only thing selling those consoles.
>>340509432
More like I'm just impatient and AMD doesn't have anything equivalent to the 1070 out yet. I saw the deal on the monitor and decided that I'm done waiting and will get it and the 1070 (strix one from what we've seen of aftermarket cards so far). If by the time it comes for me to upgrade (at least 5 years for the monitor), I'll have no prejudice against AMD.
>>340509478
There's a bunch of race tracks, but a lot of them sacrifice aesthetics for functionality due to the 1000-object limit.
>>340506785
I can use my kb+m on xbone though.
>>340509641
>Microsoft having to make Halo after Halo
>Bethesda having to make Skyrim after Skyrim
>Nintendo struggling to compete with those listed above but still coming out on bottom
This is a dark decade.
>>340509641
Most people buy consoles for multiplats. I think Microsoft is headed in the right direction because there's not much overlap between the console and PC audience, so they're trying to turn the Xbone into the best console for multiplats. They don't care about Halo being on PC as long as you can't play it on PS4.
>>340509647
Sorry, I was talking generally, didn't mean to sound like I was singling you out.
>>340509828
I sort of got that, I was just explaining I'm not a fanboy either.
>>340509440
Interesting.
>>340509478
Ignore the shitty commentary, I'm just searching up random gametypes I played with my friends on H3 and it looks like it evolved substantially since then
https://youtu.be/27n3N0nZOqY
>>340509463
That's good, going to be getting that spring bundle since its such a bargain. Glad to see Forge is getting serious loving
