It would be really cool if they made this possible as I’d really like to have access to these maps on Halo 5: Forge. It’d instantly add a ton of new content with minimal work on 343i’s part and reinject some energy into the custom games scene. And they’d be able to spruce the matchmaking playlists up as well with the new forge maps. I personally happen to think that H5s warzone maps are the best in the game, especially for scale - They’d be perfect to support BTB in H5 for example. Has anything like this been discussed as a possibility before?

This sounds amazing! We can only dream of this happening. They haven’t touched Halo 5 besides swapping the playlists so I wouldn’t expect to see them add forge for warzone.

Hey you never know. My hunch is that they will eventually add H5 into the MCC fold and once they do it’ll start getting the same sort of treatment the other games are in terms of enabling never before seen features.
I have not played much customs or forge in H5 but I thought the same thing. It would be a wicked custom game lobby. I guess we have to wait for infinite.

My personal hope is that they just consolidate Halo 5: Forge into MCC as it would take minimal additional legwork on the 343i teams part and sort of tie off one of the loose ends of that game which is it’s lack of H5. Once H5: Forge was in MCC a lot more people would start playing custom games making the conversion of the warzone maps worth it IMO.

I can’t see Halo 5 being rolled into MCC. Perhaps released standalone given we’ve seen its Forge on PC but if 343 were going to do it I think we’d already have seen it. It does seem to have been moved away from though

Honestly I understand if the full game integration is far away still, but since they have a build of H5s MP & forge already on PC, they might as well consolidate the two. This would also provide a ton of temporary solutions really easily.
The only fortunate thing is that there exist a player who has managed to place each of the Warzone maps in his fileshare which has resulted in making it possible to play Custom Games on the Warzone maps. However, Forge is a different stort and the game will unfortunately crash if you attempt to play forge on the Warzone maps.
On the other hand, I would definitely love to see Custom Games on the Warzone maps as an intended feature and not a featured allowed due to a glitch and the ability to forge on the Warzone maps. The maps do at least offer some unique environments like a forerunner island themes which could be used. One use would be to use Raid on Apex 7 as a race map.

The question would be resources to port, test, then support and fix. Plus do they want to dilute the PC population from MCC?
Given the SR152 reward: releasing right now isn’t giving PC players much of a chance

Well if they embedded it within MCC it would keep the entire community in one place. As it is right now seems to me like they are splitting the pop on PC.

Yeah but that would be a huge amount of extra work adding a whole new game into MCC. Reach was already a huge amount of work. I can’t see it happening before Infinite launches after which… what’s really the point without splitting pop between old and new games

Hm yeah. My point is just that they’ve already done the upfront work with H5: Forge. I mean, it’s already been ported to PC right? So I’d assume it would be less of a project simply taking what already exists on PC and embedding it into MCC. Yes I would love the campaign and all that but for the time being all I’m saying is make H5: Forge accessible from MCC. Or am I overestimating the simplicity here?

Nah that’s precisely the opposite. If they wanted to put H5 onto PC it would therefore be far easier to use the existing base they have with H5 forge. Integration into MCC would be a huge amount extra work with all the behind the scenes bits with the Engine, matchmaking, statistics etc. etc. H5 is already on Xbox One so it doesn’t need to join MCC for that - the only argument would be for a PC release, but again if releasing as a separate product that would then split players between MCC and 5.
In the time left before Infinite’s release I just don’t see it happening

Absolutely yeah there’s no way we’ll see this before Infinite. Just sort of a general wishlist item. Again even without the full game, just access to H5: Forge from within MCC at some point.
