The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge

[Makol]

Still waiting for my new CPU to arrive, but with my i3 6100 paired with a R9 380X the game runs wonderfully on max settings at 1080p.

oh yeah, GT is "Ze Mako"

[Tuskin]

[QUOTE=Kinky Frog;51013795]also the game is showing up as "no longer avaiable" for me in the store. Hoperfully that changes once I update all my shit.
[/QUOTE]

The official release date is tomorrow, which is why its saying it is not available.

It being out today was a mistake.

Well, fuck.

[Tuskin]

Yeah because you need to 'buy' it from the stores. So only people who grabbed it last night from the store when it was available can play.

No 21:9 support and I have a feeling it's not coming any time soon

Anyone trying to play on PC?

Fianlly got Halo but but not really sure what to think of the multiplayer... all the boosty things and aim down sights is weird

Tweet them or something. Could be part of a first patch including a well needed fov slider

[CabooseJr]

[QUOTE=Delta616;51014204]Anyone trying to play on PC?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it runs fantastic on my rig I just built.

[XUZUL]

A huge hassle to even be able to download and when I do it goes at 100 kb/s :suicide:

Don't think of it as ADS, think of it as zooming in. :smile:

Yeah, people need to give attention to the developers. 343 Isn't Turn-10 but Forza Apex received quite a few updates including the long awaited wheel support which they are adding to FH3.

So with that in mind I am assuming Halo 5 Forge is a test-build. They'll going to use this to make a better port of either the full game or Halo 6 down the line.
Making it loud and clear what PC gamers need will hopefully ensure we get FOV and 21:9 support.

[QUOTE=343N;51013242]updated pastebin with more links

Hi, i will show you or well tell you how to download and install Halo 5 Forge without the store, reason? It doesn't show for everyone... aka me. Before we continue make sure to do the following...
 
1). Download Halo 5 Forge, Unsure about the link? look at the domain.
 
Direct link: goo.gl/2D5T4J
Torrent: https://mega.nz/#!y0BGwCLC!18IsLpSJO61TfZIeXLgZnyBGOmOkUdHDG0GttiKcJ6A
 
2). Make sure your OS is up to date (MAKE SURE ANNIVERSARY UPDATE AND ALL NEWER UPDATES ARE INSTALLED!!!!!!)
3). Use that brain of yours, if you need coffee get it before we continue because this is vey basic stuff.
 
Now for the actual guide... this is real simple, follow it and go back if you do not understand.
 
1). CHANGE YOUR REGION TO US
2). Once installed move the file where you want, i just left it...
3). Open Windows Powershell as admin.
4). This is where it gets even easier... Type the following into Powershell
 
add-appxpackage D:\userfiles\Downloads\Microsoft.Halo5Forge_1.114.4592.2_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe.EAppx
For you this may be a different directory... just point it to that directory... hit enter and it should look like this. (click to expand)
 
5). Go and get some more coffee while it's installing... and it should start looking like this... click me boi~~
6). Once the box has gone check that it has installed.
7). Run the game.... proof here i guess: http://i.imgur.com/DWOJdNU.jpg
 
EDIT: Some people are having issues downloading... i would highly suggest using https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/
Just change region to US and open https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/halo-5-forge/9nblggh51mwp
EDIT GUIDE UPDATED!

Where are you getting these? It's obvious there are meant to be images to click in those instructions, but I can't find anything other than this thread when I google search it.

[FlandersNed]

I am so close to it working but it crashes every time it finishes loading :(

[GrangeRover]

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;51014671]I am so close to it working but it crashes every time it finishes loading :([/QUOTE]

I feel your pain, it starts up for me, and then closes with an error saying "you don't meet the minimum system requirements".

[FrEeKy ThInG]

"halo 5: forge is currently not available"

depressed

[Ghost901]

I wonder if the directory structure is the same on xbox.

i feel like I should note THERE MAY BE LAUNCH DAY UPDATES PLANNED THAT WE DONT HAVE YET SO IF STUFF IS BROKEN DON'T COMPLAIN TIL OFFICIAL LAUNCH[/QUOTE]

Chronicles? Isn't that that cancelled Peter Jackson game project that was gutted and turned to recon/ODST?

[The Gubefather]

[QUOTE=xalener;51015032]Chronicles? Isn't that that cancelled Peter Jackson game project that was gutted and turned to recon/ODST?[/QUOTE]

I believe that was the internal name for ODST

[Cmdr0ddball]

Mmmmm nice and easy 1440p at 60 fps. The game doesn't look half bad at higher resolutions. Except for the pretty obvious low fps physics animations (they are most definitely at 30 fps).

I cannot wait for the custom game server browser to be a thing!

[FlandersNed]

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;51014671]I am so close to it working but it crashes every time it finishes loading :([/QUOTE]

So If I let it sit on the menu for long enough, the map will deploy. I can't get past the wheel though.
