Why am I the leader of Facepunch Spartans.

[editline]27th August 2016[/editline]

I'm guessing this was inspired by the Halo ODST Magnum

Also Spartan Customization in Halo 5 Forge PC is whatever you have unlocked in Halo 5 XB1.

Any changes you make in Halo 5 XB1 or on halowaypoint.com will change how you look on PC.

[QUOTE]Q: How will Spartan Customization Work in Halo 5: Forge?
A: All Spartan customization is handled in Halo 5: Guardians and on HaloWaypoint.com. Halo 5: Forge will reflect any changes made on those platforms.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like there won't be in game customization.

Easy to fix since it's on the PC. I would laugh if it was a simple config file fix.

[Tuskin]

There would need to be a UI for customizing first.

Why don't we just spawn guns on maps like every other Halo? I don't have an XB1 nor am I getting one, so I will be ye ole stock

Also, they kept the weapon bug, right, so we get RPG magnums?

This isn't Halo 4 anymore, weapons do spawn on the map in Arena (CTF, Slayer and all that other jazz) but in Warzone you spawn with a loadout and power weapons are your own single-use REQ cards or what you can grab off of people you kill

[Tuskin]

Yeah, it is still there, they kept it as a 'feature' IIRC.

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;50957626]The only computer I have on me is an Surface Pro 3 with the i5 and 8gb of ram. The Intel HD 4400 inside it is a quarter as powerful as the 650 Ti and can only support up to 1700mb of VRAM, so no, I don't think I will be able to play this.[/QUOTE]

if you can download forza apex from the store, you can download halo 5. whether you can run it or not is a different story but if you're allowed to download it you should be able to run it

[Tuskin]

Finally decided to beat Halo 3 again (first time on XB1)

Now I just need to beat Halo 1, finish ODST and finish Halo 4.

I can apparently download Forza Apex, so I'll try my luck when it comes out.

I remember when I was playing ODST co-op with one of my friends we spent a load of time on the last level trying to ride Virgil

[Bathtub]

the last level is so FUCKING cool [sp]getting to ride down a highway in a gauss hog, seeing scarabs climb all over shit, having the covenant cruisers jump into the atmosphere and start firing on shit, having a last stand.... god DAMN i love ODST[/sp]

My best memories of ODST are doing the Vidmasters with my friends.

I love hearing the hooks of the Halo theme in the ODST soundtrack, they're addictive

I beat ODST years ago. Just need to beat it again in MCC.

[ElectricSquid]

Honestly ODST has probably the best soundtrack in the series. I didn't appreciate it at the time but it's really grown on me.

[Bradyns]

So, I purchased an Xbone S (Halo bundle) yesterday with the sole intention of re-playing Halo - I've played every game except 5.

I'll probably play through the games chronologically, then get gritty with Halo 5 MP.

Any Aussies still active?

Shows off Halo 5 Forge PC Tutorial

[Bathtub]

i guess its the only exclusive thats actually selling consoles so they cant risk losing it

I mean, it technically is. I just hope later on they give us Warzone, they can keep SP on xbone, I've played it, it was horribad.

I've said this before but Halo 5: Forge is testing the waters imo, and the next step would be a Master Chief Collection for PC. It's also a great way of getting people to get Windows 10 because Halo.

Please Microsoft, I just want to be able to play Halo 1, 2 and ODST and get to replay Halo 3, Reach and 4 in HD. :(

[Bathtub]

just imagining using a BR with a keyboard and mouse has made me horny

[xalener]

Man this looks pretty fucking solid so far but they'd better have a FOV slider.

[sb27]

Probably mentioned by others before, but is it just me or did the Halo series go downhill hard from Halo 4 and onwards?

I really enjoyed the Halo games up to ODST (never played Reach or full-game of Halo Wars), but I got an XB1 a while back with the MCC, and I just felt disappointed from Halo 4. Gameplay seemed... poor and stressful compared to Halo 3 (fuck the watchers), the story was ridiculous, Promethean weapons are useless, multiplayer gets boring fast and the gun sounds are really lame. I've been thinking of getting Halo 5 but after seeing that Forge gameplay video, it seems that I wouldn't like it at all.

Halo 5 mp is an improvement over 4 by a fuck ton, still no Halo 2, but still, it p. good. If you have a pc that run it, might as well try h5f

[Tuskin]

I hope to god there is a FOV Slider.

They god Jennifer Hale/Palmer to narrate the Forge Tutorial :v:

If theres one thing I've always disliked about Halo its that the FoV, even on console, feels cramped and makes me nauseous

The UI is identical to the XB1 version of the game.
