Now I know there is a lot of PC users that prefer playing on the PC but I cannot but help but think that it is kind of weird that it is on the PC it was meant to be for the xbox exclusively and that’s what halo was the master of console games anyone have thoughts about this do you think Microsoft is just trying to sell out more?
EDIT: Fixed a grammar error.
I highly doubt it’s because Microsoft is “trying to sell out more” since Halo 5 Forge is free on PC. I think it was more of them dipping their toes in the water for possible upcoming PC releases.
Halo 5: Forge was designed to allow Forgers to create more accurate maps thanks to the precision of mouse and keyboard. It was never intended as a full Halo game, though you can play multiplayer on it.
There is nothing wrong with Halo being on PC. Halo Combat Evolved was on PC since 2003, worked well and was very popular (and still is). It also holds the distinction as the FIRST Halo game to ever have online multiplayer, beating Halo 2 (though Halo 2 has the record for console). Halo CE was also extremely easy to mod, with Bungie releasing ‘Custom Edition’, specifically designed for modders. You may have heard of SPv3, who have done a re-imagining of Halo CE on PC (check it out on Youtube).
Halo 2 Vista (PC) also holds the distinction for having the first ever Halo achievements in the series. However, Halo 2 Vista (PC) was an absolutely terrible port that really soured PC gamers tastes in the franchise. To give you a few quick reasons:
(Oh look, a 7 reference :D)
Long story short, Halo can work on PC and has been on PC since the beginning so it isn’t really weird to be honest. Bungie and Gearbox had it right with Halo CE on PC but Microsoft dropped the ball with H2V. For Halo 6 to be successful on PC it will need cross platform co-op, server browser and mod support.

Halo CE was originally meant to be a PC game.

Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2 released on the PC.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea for Microsoft to release the Halos onto the PC, they’d make a hefty profit given how Windows is a pretty enormous part of the PC community, especially how XBOX isn’t doing too well recently with a general lack of exclusives to feed it money.
I would prefer playing Halo on Xbox. I played Forge but creating a map was just too awful with the controls. But i don’t have the patience for that. Anyway i think there won’t be a classical installment for due to Xbox Play Anywhere. If Halo 6 comes with this you will able to play this on PC anyway, but i hope this is not the case. It should stay n Xbox just like it always was.
I don’t think that will save it from the bad sells numbers, or at least the multiplayer population
it´s only forge and custom games bro
