Lets all build amazing levels that we can't play.[/QUOTE]
You can build and playtest the maps.
[QUOTE=solid_jake;50351146]Maybe it's just bad wording but that's just uh.. digging for features isn't it?
I mean I'm pretty sure we kinda need that[/QUOTE]
What they are trying to say is that there has never been a halo forge on pc, and thus forge has never had keyboard or mouse support.
They really need to clarify if we can build and play maps properly on PC. By properly I mean with however many people the game supports in MP not just friends you invite.

They state you can build and playtest with friends via invites.

I'm assuming this is how it will work based off the wording and a few people I spoke to:
-Fire up Forge and enter the lobby screen
-Invite (XBL) friends, or not
-Launch a map in Forge mode or as a custom game
[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;50351245]Forge has changed a lot since you might've last used it.
While you can't start a new map from scratch like Far Cry for example, you can now place terrain pieces on what's essentially a blank canvas map and make it completely unrecognisable. Whatever you have in mind there's probably a direct way or a workaround to make it. Scripting can be done with objects too, people have made stuff like an AI digger thing that tries to swipe at you to splatter you.[/QUOTE]
What about modeling new geometry? Because i really don't like the idea of having to build something from prefabs.
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;50351334]What about modeling new geometry? Because i really don't like the idea of having to build something from prefabs.[/QUOTE]
you can merge pieces together, but there is no terrain brush or anything like that.
Give us the bloody engine so we can sodomize it for the greater good.
Holy shit this is fucking incredible news
Sure its not the entire game but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i spent so much time in Halo 3's Forge mode
PS: This is probably the first time their Halo 5 will be running on PC so getting a small part out there would be massive help for them to further develop it for PC.
Realtalk, Forge is the main game mode we played in Halo 3 anyway so I'm not mad at all. The rest of the game would have been grand but hopefully this is a sign of things to come. As long as it isn't riddled with microtransactions and paywalls I'm absolutely cool with that.
So do people remember the picture a day or two ago showing Master Chief Collection on the windows store? I think this is a sign of things to come.

Only microtransaction in Halo 5 are REQ packs which were hardly a big deal since it's stupidly easy/quick to build up in-game currency to buy packs for customization items and stuff for the Warzone game mode.

That was actually a bug. The listing contained old information and improper platforms. Other Xbone related betas would show up as well and were listed as playable on Windows 10.

Stinkles aka Frank O'Connor on why the whole game isn't being ported
[QUOTE]I agree. However for folks wondering why we don't "just" port the whole game - realtalk:
While I personally believe it's an evergreen masterpiece of whimsy and wonder, it would be a year old by the time Forge released, and given the architecture, cloud, matchmaking, etc etc etc etc differences between platforms, it would be neither trivial to port, nor uncompromised in that process, given it was designed with targeted Xbox One perf in mind to begin with.
Both audiences deserve better than that, as you'll see with Halo Wars 2 onwards, which was designed with Xbox AND PC in mind from scratch and makes the most of each platform's relative strengths.[/QUOTE]

Isn't Xbone x86? Like would it really be THAT hard to port?
I know it all comes down to money but from a technical standpoint shouldn't it be easier than ever to port stuff to and from PC?

It's still harder than most people think, but not as hard as it use to be. If Halo 5 was made with PC in mind from the get go it would be easier to port than it is now in its current state.
There isn't much point to them porting the entire game over when they're already working on Halo 6 and other projects at the moment. I wouldn't be shocked if Halo 6 will end up being on the Xbox as a timed console exclusive and then have a PC release later.

It would have been like Gears Remastered and Quantum Break. Xbox first and then ported over to Windows. QB just had the luxury of having launch on both at the same time because of UWP.
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;50351632]How would they sell xboxs then?[/QUOTE]
They should just turn the Xbox into what Steam Machines were supposed to be. Want a console/set-top box experience; turn your Windows/Xbox machine in "big picture"/Xbox mode. Want Windows PC just boot in Windows mode. Microsoft splitting their consumers never made sense. Software wise Xbox should be a store like Steam, hardware wise it should be a "minimum system requirement" that developers can base their development on.

xbox is running win 10 and will soon have full uwp capabilities.
i think msft is gonna push uwp to the max
So you can play the maps? Can you like play, play them with keyboard and mouse and everything?
Does multiplayer in forge work? Can I fuck around with other people in it?

right in the OP
[QUOTE]Test and Play with Friends – Enlist the help of Friends to help build, test, and play your Forge creations on Windows 10.[/QUOTE]
I wish they'd at least port custom games too and let people host their own servers.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;50351172]You mean the part that no one cares about? I'm really glad they're bringing the sandbox to Windows 10
I really doubt anyone would want to play the disaster that is the Singleplayer on PC[/QUOTE]
Yep you're right they should just quit making campaigns because pfft who ever played Halo for the story right
Even if 343 sucks ass at making campaigns that's still a shit reason to go "it's fine we don't need that whole mode," especially when it's been such a huge part of the games since the very first.
plus, from the way this is worded I don't think we're getting full MP with this. We can just fuck around in Forge. That's it. It's not even like GMod where there's essentially limitless content due to mods and porting shit from other games. It's comparable to having only GMod and no CS:S/TF2/etc back whenever models and shit from those games weren't included in shitty low-res versions for people without the games.
Regardless, I'm going to get this and most likely spend hours on it even if I can't exactly make the fullest use of it. I'm expecting good shit to come out of this.
Yeah, it's only Forge.
I hope with free they actually mean free and not "Oh yeah, pay 10$ for 2 maps and some new props"

Halo 5's SP sucked, but Halo has always had a decent story (except for 4 and 5), Hell, pre-343 halo lore is fucking great.

the multiplayer is pretty good though, same with warzone/firefight. if firefight came on pc through odst/reach/4/5 I'd play that shit forever.
Its pretty hilarious how everyone has been crying for years to have Halo ported to the PC and now they are [I][B]finally[/B][/I] taking a step towards that direction and now everyone has a new thing to cry about because they don´t get the whole thing on the get-go, these guys are doing things in a slow manner which is good
