I’ve been a console gamer my whole life, but I took the plunge and built my first gaming pc last week. I mainly wanted something to program on, edit photos, 3d modeling etc, while also having access to play games with the majority of my friends who play on pc. In any case, I downloaded the Halo 5 forge and started messing around with buddies in custom games. I have to say, Halo 5 never looked and felt so great. I started getting the itch for some matchmaking and warzone so I decided to boot up the xbox last night and wow did I play like complete garbage. I think the hardest adjustment for me was my aiming/controller sensitivity. It really makes me realize how clunky it feels and how adjusted I become to that clunkiness. Obviously there is a huge difference between mouse aiming and thumbstick aiming, but I didn’t think I’d have that much trouble adjusting back. Just curious if others have experienced the same. I will also mention that while I find mouse aiming to be superior, I would give anything to have a device (like the wii’s nunchuck) that has a thumbstick for the left hand to control player movement. I find WASD abysmal considering that it takes 3 fingers to do the work of 1 thumb. That said, I think it’s great how much free content they’ve brought to the PC and I look forward to finally playing all the amazing forge content everyone has contributed to this game!
I wonder if they should still call it Halo 5: Forge, given the custom games browser provides more than just Forging now. Maybe “Halo 5: Lite”? Since it’s almost the full experience - for FREE - minus actual Matchmaking and what passed as a Campaign.
Here’s to Halo 6 having a dual-release like Halo Wars 2 is getting! Just so everyone can be included. I don’t have Win10 so I’m sticking to the console heh, I’d get both if I could though. So Nice, I Bought it Twice.

They have to make Halo 6 a full pc release. It’s been leading up to this. Halo is in need of a larger player base and that’s exactly how they are going to get it. There is no doubt in my mind that the Halo 5 forge was just a beta for Halo 6 on pc. It will be epic!

It does seem like it yeah. Never know what they’ve got up their sleeves, but if H5:Forge and HW2 both do well enough on PC, they may very well make H6 a full PC release. Which while that wouldn’t affect me personally, would make a lot of people happy and make a lot more money for them. Which is always a good thing. More $ to fund future development.

They could even potentially bridge the gap between console gamers and pc gamers within Halo. If xbox scorpio supported keyboard and mouse and 343 allowed for cross platform matchmaking…BOOM!.. profit profit profit!!!
