Adding my name to the list who wants a PC port of Halo 5. I’d love to see it with the better visuals I can get out of my PC. It really wasn’t that bad a game either.

i mainly want it on PC so we can mod it… set up a discord and try to get some servers up so people can play… you would have to own the game first and then download an install a script it would make it so your version of the game is offline and only finds modded servers, it would be easy to disable you just delete the script file
if you think of the game as a while with its online being its tires this script is like tire chains it dosent effect the main game its just an addition that alters it behaviour
the mods themselves would reflect what you see with halo 3 mods + personally ill be trying to make halo 5 closer to how it was in its beta
modding is one reason why i want a full port too, might even finally get proper lan co-op. no online only crap.

Here’s hoping Guardians gets the MCC treatment soon. Id really hope they hint at it in the summer or something.

it won’t due to it’s size being almost as large, data wise as the mcc. 100+gb. That would make the mcc 200+gb.
They’ve said many times they can’t / won’t do it.
it would have to be a standalone port, like halo 5 forge was on pc.

I really hope its a full port. But heck Ill be happy with a H5F Steam port with Mod Support. At least then we could piece it back together ourselves

I have moved on from xbox to PC, its been quite some time now. I was just about to buy a series X just to play Halo 5 with the enhancements like 120hz but that hasnt even happened…so disappointing 
I remember playing Halo 5 everyday back then, it is my favorite game. I would like to attempt to have 343 bring it to PC or at least give it some attention. Has anyone created a survey for bringing Halo 5 to PC? Something that can be linked and spread out so one can easily vote. Im sure seeing some high number votes will bring some attention to it. If not, what could be done to start getting the train rolling? Im down for any ideas

You could certainly try creating a survey, but I am not sure how helpful it will really be. The biggest thing that I think will bring this around is if people keep badgering 343 for this PC port, and most of all that forum topics like this one stay active with new people joining the conversation, that will hop fully show 343 that there is money to be made by making this port, and hopefully they will eventually do it. I personally do some light respectful badgering on the 343 community managers twitter posts from time to time, just to try and cover more angles, but alas we still don’t have the port, so all we can do is keep this conversation alive, and hope that 343 takes notice one of these days.

I agree. Us talking about it still should show that there are enough people interested. Id love to do a survey but I dont know if I could get it to anyone at 343 or if it would even mean anything to them.

Obligatory “STILL WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!” Bump.
Been thinking, with the COD:Warzone 2 stuff on the horizon too, Do they have to do any work/worry about the confusion of Halo having a thing called “warzone” ? (even though they beat COD to it in 2015?) Since McdonaldsSoft is still trying to buy Activis-BlizzLard, Does this next COD product try to cement/pivot into being the fortnite-ified version of the COD series by just calling itself Call Of Duty:Modern Warzone
IDK, just a conundrum i’ve been thinking about.
PUT H5 ON PC! PLEASE!

It really does make me happy to see so many people still enjoy Halo 5. Come on 343, if you cant do it I’m sure Splash Damage or somebody else would be up to the task

Look, if for no other reason I think 343 will port Halo 5 to PC at some point to fill in the hole in the story currently missing for PC players. Probably whenever they finally completely cut off doing MCC updates, they’ll transition that team over to porting Halo 5. Just my guess though.

I’d bet Infinite will be the first game to break that cycle. 6 months, 2 new maps, 2 new modes, and ZERO major bug fixes. Does not bode well.
But yes, this is the community in a nutshell, which is why I don’t take the Halo Communities opinions on ANY of the games into consideration.
From my own experiences, this is what I’ve personally felt from Halo after going back through all the games before the og servers went down:
-
CE was awful gameplay wise solely due to the terrible vehicle physics.
-
Halo 2 was the peak of Halos story telling and character development.
-
Halo 3 is vastly overrated and not anywhere near as good as people claim. Yes it was fire back in the day, but 2007 is 15 years ago.
-
Reach was peak Halo multiplayer, due to it’s versatility and wide variety of ways to play.
-
Halo 4 is overhated and underrated, the multiplayer aspect of Halo 4 is actually good, and to the people who say it plays like CoD, I say “You’ve clearly never played a CoD game in your life.” Yes it has ordinance drops which suck, but you can avoid those modes fairly easily, especially on MCC.
-
Halo 5 still has plenty of technical issues, but it has the best sandbox in the franchise and honestly for me, were it not for the technical issues, would be the peak multiplayer of the franchise.
-
ODST was and still is the best Halo Campaign for actual gameplay, you aren’t an OP Spartan, you are an ODST, you’re weak to Covenant weaponry, and death could be looming around any corner, this game I cannot praise enough for it’s campaign.

Halo Infinite…was a game built on lies. We were told it would be “players first” regarding customization, yeah that aged like milk. Then there’s the lack of polish, quality control, and any kind of adequate bug fixing since launch day back in November. This game launched and sunk within the first month of release, I know 343 can do better as Infinite is their first title I genuinely dislike. I hope Infinite’s failures get Microsoft to wake up and get things running smoothly at 343 again back like in 2012/2013 when Halo 4 launched as a content complete game.
All in all I would absolutely pay retail price for Halo 5 on PC, especially if 343 decided to fix up the bugs, and restore scripting to what it was like BEFORE the Monitor’s Bounty update ruined it.

Dude if Halo 5 came to PC I’d literally pay $60 for it again just like I did in 2015 for Halo 5. It’s such a master piece of a Halo title, even though realistically I know it’ll probably come to PC at like $20 or something.
Still, Halo 5 is the superior Halo experience out there for most players I’d imagine. It runs incredibly smooth at 60fps, feels great, plays great, and more.
