Those are some pretty fucking demanding specs, hopefully they're just playing it safe but ehh
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;50954253]Why in the fuck does forge alone require 40gb of hard drive space?[/QUOTE]
Because devs have forgotten what compression is

Assets?

It seems fine to me minus the CPU, because I don't use Intel CPUs and saying "or AMD equivalent" doesn't exactly tell me much.

There really isn't an equivalent AMD CPU.
You'll probably be fine if you have an 8 core FX.
considering that halo doesn't run at full 1080p on xbone, it seems reasonable to me

Maybe when Zen comes out and AMD single core performance (hopefully) stops being shit there will be.

im wondering why you need 12gb of ram
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;50956682]im wondering why you need 12gb of ram[/QUOTE]
Probably extra RAM for Windows itself.
funfact: halo 5 is 85gb. forge being only 40gb means its only/less than half the size.
also, ram requirement is probably just being generous

How in the fuck? No, seriously, how in the fuck? I mean, the game doesn't even run at 1080p, so unless the assets are all 4K ready, I'm going to assume the maps are humongous and decompressed for no reason.
We really need faster internet if games are going to start hitting 100 GB in the next generation.

Are the cut scenes pre-rendered or realtime ?

Isn't Star Citizen meant to be 100 gigs when it comes out?
halo 5 is 85gb. it was about 50gb at launch meaning 35gbs of addons are multiplayer (this is including Warzone assets (i'm assuming things like props/textures from their maps shared in other maps are included in Forge), as well as all armors, and the engine and everything.
unless they're using just a bunch of uncompressed sounds LOL

[QUOTE=AntonioR;50957342]Are the cut scenes pre-rendered or realtime ?[/QUOTE]
real-time except for 2 in campaign (which isn't in this version of h5)
Is halo 3 really worth all the hype? Because every time there's a halo PC thread, everyone says halo 3 is the bee's knees and we need just that one on PC for sure, that would make our PC halo collections much better.
But honestly my friend picked it up from GameStop back when it was brand new and the game, or at least the first part of the game, was so boring that we were relieved to get a ride back to GameStop to trade it in for something else before they closed for the day. I think we got some guitar hero game instead.
Maybe I need to go back and give it another shot? Maybe if it ever gets a PC release I'll see how it is? All I remember was the default controls being extra retarded, completely different from any halo or any other shooter I had played, and we didn't make it through the jungle level in the beginning before we got really really bored. This is coming from two people who have spent thousands of hours on halo 1 and 2 and love them very deeply.
i mainly want halo 3 for modding capabilities than anything else. same with halo reach, but i guess that might be cause i already know what i can do with halo 3/reach. i have no idea how moddable/open to modding halo 5 is (able to be).

Isn't it UWP?
And so like, nonexistent modding?

UWP is easy to get into.

If it's anything like Halo CE or Halo 2 then it should be no probs.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50958280]If it's anything like Halo CE or Halo 2 then it should be no probs.[/QUOTE]
And Halo 3, and Halo Reach, and Halo 4. They all used every similar structures, all of them have been modded.
Halo Online was modded as well.

343 heavily modified the engine beyond recognition though.

Halo 4 used a different structure which is why they could do armour DLC

The download buttons don't work, it's just neat to look around.

Still works fine for me.

I can't connect at all, just gives that error. heck even just going to microsoft.com gives me it.

Opening it in an incognito browser tab worked. Maybe one of my plugins caused it.
Just takes you to the shitty spartan strike store page

Well yeah, Dissolution already said it doesn't work.

Aww, I was about to check if I could download it but I played Forza Apex instead.
