> > > > > Did you bother to look at the publish date on that article? Its MAR 31, 2016, and that is before MCC was announced for PC, or before we even knew anything about Infinite and that it was coming to PC. Since that article was published Microsoft has gone in hard on PC gaming and making xbox more accessible to all. Also as previously stated, 343 has publicly said said that there are no plans at this time to port Halo 5, not that it wont ever happen. So next time check the publish date on your source first to make sure its not outdated.

> > >
> > > If Phil’s words were true then MCC would never have been ported to PC, also Infinite was delayed for 1 year due to not enough being done on it, so they are currently all hands on deck to make sure its released this year, end of story, so they don’t exactly have a lot of extra man power to spare on an H5 port right now. So they actually have a good excuse for the moment on why we have heard nothing on an H5 PC port.

> Very true, part of me thinks all of the Halo games mp population will tank due to everyone moving to Infinite, while another part of me thinks that certain older Halo titles will keep a good population going, since they wont be festering with 10 year olds getting on the multiplayer for free like Infinite will have to be dealing with, ah the joys of free to play.

Haha, yea I guess the future will tell. I think MCC may be able to retain a good chunk of its pop, H5 I am guessing will drop off extremely and might have a bit of that slow return you described but again I see that as more of an MCC strength. H5 wasn’t my favorite though so I may be biased.

Its the only Halo I have not played. Would be nice to come to PC eventually.

Not that this is the best solution, but if you are wanting to play through H5 campaign before Infinite comes out, I suggest you look into Xbox Cloud gaming for PC. You will need to make sure its supported by Microsoft in your region, you will need an Xbox controller for you PC, you will need a stable internet connection with 10Mbps down minimum, and you will need al least 1 month of Gamepass Ultimate to use the Cloud Gaming during that time. Of course I would suggest canceling Gamepass after you have gotten though H5, but that’s just my 2 cents.

i really hope one day it will come on steam
loved the multiplayer

H5 is a pretty good game, it just didn’t fit well in the franchise.

Really? Nice ill have to check that out. I heard some people complain that its bad, but i don’t think it will be. Iv never played a bad halo before.

For people starting the license via the MCC release, it’s a shame for them not to have access to the game that will allow them to understand a lot of the context of Infinite. But from a porting point of view, it must be quite complicated for them, not to mention that the game was quite heavy.
I still hope to see it on PC one day!

Personally I have started playing Halo 5 on the cloud gaming service and I rarely have issues, sometimes the connection to the server cuts out (like maybe once a week tops) but that might just be my connection, in general I don’t get much lag either, only a tiny amount of input delay with my controller but its tolerable. Grinding for 152 atm through it and its going well

This is what I want for Christmas. Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 on Steam. There is still hope in me.

Playing on Xbox and switching to streaming does have a noticeable jump in lag, but to be honest it only takes a match or two of Firefight before my reflexes start automatically compensating for it.

I wouldn’t suggest going into any competitive matches, to be honest, but it is definitely playable.

Yeah I tried playing swat and realised that unless I camped (boring) or my reflexes were on point I could potentially be losing the game for my teammates or ruining peoples experiences so I figured I’d just stay to firefight

would be a great end to 2021.

It would be awesome but I doubt

Halo 5 + Halo wars 2 on PC would be awesome!! Please 343

Halo Wars 2 is on PC via the Windows 10 Microsoft Store, its just not on Steam is all.

Lucky you! I’ve been struggling with lag from the first day… Despite having more than enough download speed on paper.
I jumped on xcloud with enthusiasm since I’ve been longing to play Halo5 but I’m hating the experience. I wish they port it on pc asap since the atrocious input lag and my inability to play any fps without mouse and keyboard pain me.

Yeah, the stream doesn’t really stutter for me so I’m lucky, but I just wanna say that I only really play firefight, I can’t really play PvP with the input lag lol, its bearable vs AI but against other players you can’t compete very easily, I run into a lot of bugs too but idk if that’s just the game or not

I’d love a PC port of halo 5 just to make the game easier to play but I can’t see it happening for a looking time, if at all

Hmm thats not too bad thanks for the heads up, I have not tried cloud gaming before.

I also still want to continue to show my support for a proper Halo 5 port to PC. Steam would also be appreciated.

Yes! Let’s hope they hear us and start working on that. I don’t think it would cost them too much work, after all forge already runs on PC. I’ve read comments on this forum saying that halo 5 almost doesn’t deserve this because it is not as good as the others but I don’t think it’s a valid reason, it’s a Canon game after all and would make little sense to have halo 6 released everywhere without the fifth chapter.
Moreover being able to play it on your machine maybe with mouse and keyboard would be a great thing.
Pls 343!
