343i:Forge on PC Is Just the Beginning;HaloWars2 To Take Full Advantage of Each Platform's Strengths

343i's Josh Holmes teased more Halo on PC, while Frank O'Connor explained why Halo 5 isn't coming to PC while adding that Halo Wars 2 will properly take advantage of PC & XB1.

[CoNn3r_B]

Doesn't change the fact that Halo 5 sucks though.

[Alexious]

Personally I think the series has gone downhill since Halo 3. The best Halo games were 1 & 2, those were masterpieces.

[ninsigma]

Definitely can't beat 1 and 2. Those games belong with the greatest.

[CoNn3r_B]

@ninsigma Don't forget to how some love for Halo 3

[ninsigma]

@Con3r
3 was good, don't get me wrong, I just though one and two were on another level.

[Zeref]

Bullshit, that's just the nostalgia talking. Halo 5 is the best halo to date. It took everything that made the original trilogy great and made things better.

[Fin_The_Human]

My personal list is
Halo3
Halo Reach
Halo ODST

If you didn't like ODST you are not a gamer.

[Aurenar]

Did you play Halo 5? Or it's just a complaint? Halo 5 works perfectly. If you don't like Halo it's your personal judgment.

[CoNn3r_B]

Yeah I played Halo 5, bad campaign, next to no content for the price, microtransactions linked to the customisation and the most repetitive boss fight in any game I've ever played. Just cause a game "works perfectly" doesn't mean it's without flaws.

Plus the gameplay is a copy and paste of Advanced Warfare and that game was just as bad. When I buy a Halo game I expect to get a Halo game not CoD, if I wanted CoD I would buy CoD.

[holin4]

@CoNn3r_B
A copy of AW lmao! you most certainly didnt play halo 5 dude.
BEST MP SO FAR, BY FAR!
GTFO!

[ShadowKnight]

The campaign was awful but the multiplayer is great.

[slate91]

Youre a tool. Give me your gamertag and Ill gladly look up and compare our hours played on Halo 5 to verify your nonsense.

[CoNn3r_B]

If you want my gamer tag just click my profile and go to the "About" page. When you finished and see that I have clocked over 6 days in Halo 5 do me a favour and be a prick somewhere else.
In fact Slate, I just checked your account and you've played less time than me, excuse me while I bow to your infinite expertise on the subject. You fucking tool.

[ShottyatLaw]

@ Conner, So you played 200 hours of a game that "sucks?"

[Khaotic]

I really love it . Best multi-player fps this gen

[Erik7357]

It's multiplayer was great....

[Yetter]

still is

[Paytaa]

Halo 5 is the best Halo since Halo 3. I played A LOT of Reach and H4, but Halo 5 destroys both in the gameplay department.

So many people jumped on the bandwagon to put this game down. Sure, criticisms about the campaign are 100% justified when compared to old titles. Multiplayer though is a different beast.

I already have around 15 days played in multiplayer alone. It is that good.

[Trekster_Gamer]

Doesn't change the fact that Conn3r is a childish troll who should really STFU!

[Lenrulesdaworld]

I have to disagree, Halo 5 was much better than halo 4. And the MP is arguably the best in the series. Not sure what u mean by extra content, as the MP got tons of free content. Maps & Modes and finally, halo had thruster packs before cod.

People always want the same stuff, then complain its the same and what games change for the better.

[aconnellan]

The story sucked, but everything else - gameplay, multiplayer, forge, post game support - is the best in the series so far

[christocolus]

Nice. I'm sure 343i is working closely with Creative Assembly on Halo Wars 2. Enjoyed the first game a lot...Can't wait to see the sequel at E3. I hope there will be crossplay btw Xbox and Windows.

[Alexious]

Crossplay in Halo Wars 2 was confirmed since the very beginning!

[Paytaa]

The Halo Wars 2 cinematics are going to look absolutely ridiculous. I remember watching the Halo Wars 1 cutscenes over and over because they were so beautiful for the time.

I'm assuming Blur is doing them again and their work on Halo 2A was phenomenal.

[Trekster_Gamer]

They still look incredible even for this time frame 😉

[christocolus]

Yeah. Blur is in charge once again. They've always done a great job with the cinematics and I cant wait to see what they do with the sequel. I want to see the Brutes.

[Zeref]

Definitely hoping for cross play. Would be amazing. Also Sea of Thieves. Good time to be an Xbox fan.

[freshslicepizza]

was surprised how well it was and using a controller for an rts game.

[Aurenar]

I'd like to see proper Halo 5 on PC so I'll hold some hope to that end.

I didn't know about Creative Assembly and Halo Wars 2, it's a good combination. With all these remasters I wouldn't mind Halo Wars remade for Windows 10.

[ShadowKnight]

Don't worry it will happen.

[Erik7357]

I mean you can play custom games with it to....so its basically on pc for me

[CoNn3r_B]

https://twitter.com/aarongr...
It's not happening.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yet same thing was said about QB....

[Alexious]

Halo 5 is not happening indeed, especially after the words of O'Connor which basically mean it's not worth it in their view.

Future Halo games, though...Very likely.

[CoNn3r_B]

@Alexious I get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to move away from the Xbox and start a software based console similar to steam.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Not really sure how slow one really needs to be to really buy such a comment.

Seriously bud, they are not going to be 100% transparent with you.

They still want to sell XONE's and Halo 5...UNTIL they can release Halo 5 on PC, ie when they tell you its happening, its likely going to be released within weeks or even days of the announcement.

They didn't just tell you MONTHS ahead of time that QB was coming to PC, my guess is Halo 5 along with MCC are coming to PC, but will be announced at an event.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Alex- "Halo 5 is not happening indeed, especially after the words of O'Connor" ??? He owns the Halo IP?

LMFAO! Buddy, at least know who has the final say on such a thing, he isn't the heads at MS, he isn't Phil Specter, at this point I expect ever major Halo title on PC. I predicted many of their titles would go to PC years ago and got hit with classic "well after the words of ____" or "_____ didn't go to PC so ______ won't" etc lol

Yet....here we are. Forzas are now all coming to PC, ReCore coming to PC, Gear Of war coming to PC, QB coming to PC. We really think its going to some how just stop at certain titles because of wishful thinking?

To me, every major title they have might as well have a PC version being made at this point as none of us can really, really say 1 will NEVER come. Yet how many times have MANY on here been wrong about that?

Clearly.......years later, we can legit say when I stated those titles would come to PC, I was MORE RIGHT, then wrong on those assumptions.

Scalebound is the next one, calling it right now.

[RiseofScorpio]

-ESSAYMIX- is at it again.

[Garethvk]

It would be nice to see more of the franchise on PC.

[Phil32]

If more people get to play games that were formerly only on Xbox One, that seems like a good thing to me.

[TheColbertinator]

Not too much a fan of Halo 4 or 5 but Halo Wars 2 might be more suitable for me these days

[Alexious]

I'm really curious as to how The Creative Assembly will approach it, since Halo Wars was clearly a very different RTS than their Total War franchise.

[TheColbertinator]

Right now they are among the best so they can pull off something stellar in memory of Ensemble Studios

[sullynathan]

Man no one wants that halo wars shit on pc, there are far better RTS games on there. Bring every halo game after halo 2,and release Halo combat evolved and halo 2 anniversary on PC.

[OpieWinston]

A lot of Total War fans would disagree when it comes to the talent at Creative Assembly and how awesome those games are when the bugs are fixed in them.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed. As a long time RTS fan and a HUGE fan of the Total War series, Halo Wars 2 is a easy day 1 for me.

I really, really liked the first Halo Wars.

[odderz]

Teasing more Halo on PC, just not the main Halo games, eh?

I want more Halo, but I can't say I care about Halo Wars...

[mezati99]

they can keep the shit that is Halo 5, i just want the MCC on my PC

[PixelGateUk]

better late than never..right?

[Majister-Ludi]

Ee

[lastking95]

Hopefully itll give custom games a jump for me. Haven't played custom as much as halo 3 and 4. Which irritate me cause halo 5 perfected forge.

[Destiny1080]

a car demo and now this

[ScorpiusX]

With all the complaints of how bad the game is there no need for a PC version .
Best 343i save that time , resources .
Personally i love every halo game .
