"343 Industries announced that the Slipspace Engine, the engine powering Halo Infinite, was developed with PC in mind. As such, the engine will scale on numerous PC hardware systems...PC will be treated as a first class citizen"

Thank you Microsoft, and thank you 343 for supporting the PCMR.

Don't be so willing to thank them. This all plays well with their next Xbox iteration. It only makes sense to take this route with multi performance system within the Xbox ecosystem.

Bungie? Thank you, good guy 343.

@fedor: Bungie, where did you see that? It says 343 :P

@XVision84: Maximum edit skill ftw ?

So it could be first good Halo game?

As long as I get another great Halo game to play on my Xbox console then I’ll be very happy indeed.

i'll believe it when i see it

This is awesome news.

its kinda strange a series that started on console. avoid PC. microsoft never acknowledgement of PC gaming now becoming PC oriented franchise.

even more if microsoft stop making xbox consoles due to xbox one flopping. Halo will become PC exclusive??

MS made it clear that Halo Infinite will return to PC and as for this new engine "Slipspace Engine" I'm now looking forward to Infinite and please don't let this Halo be anything like Halo 5.

2 of the games were on PC, not counting spin offs and the Forge

ported later. while this being made for PC in mind.

Before I join PCMR, Halo Combat Evolve on Xbox was like owning a PC on console cause Halo CE was so ahead of it's time at it's time. It did however revolutionize console first-person-shooter and Halo CE & 2 are the only one' in the series ever made it to PC and it's nice seeing MS bringing back Halo on PC now.

So, all the xbone players are going to get PC?

Anyone wondering why the next Halo was taking so long? Well they took the task on of creating a whole new gaming engine. Expect this engine to be used across the board on MS exclusives. They do not want to pay Unreal Engine or Unity any more royalties if they don't have to.

Sure there is a lot more to this. But great for PC 1st gamers and Xbox console gamers.

Isn't it obvious the next Halo game is coming for Xbox Scarlet? Come on, even Halo 3 made it to Xbox 360 and why even release the new Halo on Xbox One now? This gen is almost over, so it makes sense for the next Halo to be on Xbox next-gen console.

Read this info on Neogaf but i knew system wars would focus on the fact that its being made with PC in mind, treating it as a first class citizen.

My guess is that it'll be a cross-gen game. Kind of like how The Last of Us released at the end of PS3 and got remastered on PS4 but in this case the game will work on scarlet and the previous xbox ones (graphically gimped) without needing a remaster.

Totally!

It's probably the headlining Launch Exclusive, and IMO a smart move. Bigger install base is tempting but this on a launch bundle especially with the different SKUs they are planning is the best way to go.

Seriously, I'm struggling to find an eyeroll GIF that does your posts justice...

Anyway, sounds like 343 are doing things right for Infinite, which is good since 5 was so underwhelming. But at the end of the day, they need to nail the campaign!

they are not bad. but are mediocre anyways.

Halo CE was average game with repetetive level design ie not very good. so my point is this could be first good Halo game??

If the interface has nice huge elements and it takes 2 to 3 screens just to customize a weapon, then probably not.

Right? Instead of dicking around with the X, they might as well go the whole distance.

@ghosts4ever: Lol, ok then. Pretty much all the Halos (except maybe 5) has scored better than most (if not all) of the games you always go on about... same with Witcher 3. But whatever you say :)

Lol only the PC, Switch and PS4 have exclusives. Xbone dry of games.

Yeah, I don't really appreciate the series as a whole, but I will say that Halo was a landmark game.

I also think the next console-gen is going to be a lot more fluid with the current one, in terms of cross-releasing. I'm curious if the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X were also experiments to see if they could work in the same way cell phones or computer OS's do: support them all simultaneously and eventually phase the oldest one out.

Imagine Halo: Infinite coming out, and the disk you buy works on the Xbox One, Xbox One X, or the next-gen Xbox.

@IMAHAPYHIPPO: I hope they do!

Yea nothing about Halo will ever be PC in mind..

@XVision84:

Oooooooh! The Slipspace Engine!! I like the sound of that! Can't wait to see gameplay footie of the actual game!

@ghosts4ever:

"Halo CE was average game with repetetive level design ie not very good."

Many people would disagree with you on that. Actually...ALOT of people would disagree with you! Halo is one of the most popular fps games around!

Im pretty sure thats how its gonna be. I wouldn't mind if Halo Infinite was a scarlet exclusive either but i think Microsofts vision is to be able to play their games across all xbox consoles, thus their idea of ending traditional console generations. How it will pan out? We will have to wait and see.

As much hate there was towards DRM this gen, if you think about it all these disks really are, are digital keys! The games are still downloaded.

I'm hoping 343 don't mess this up 5 was ok but had massive room for improvement. They worry me.

Infinite will most likely be PC leverageable rather than cross-gen.

But I predicted this very thing. Once again...

MS can't help but to participate in the generation transition if Sony is going to start theirs, but the development for games on MS's next upgrade is turning out EXACTLY like I outlined it here.

And I pitty the dimwit dumb enough to buy MS's hardware next gen. for anything other than being invested in it's ecosystem, otherwise It's worthless!

You can clearly see MS wants to start out the gen making XboneNext hardware simply a generic BOX that can play games in 4k, while offering all their games to every other platform. They are developing Halo around PC and not the Nextbox's strength for god's sake.

No one besideds xbox fans already deeply invested in MS's ecosystem have any reason to buy the next xbomb, this announcement solidified it for me.

Xbox is officially DEAD.

NextBox = any random PC build from 2019 except with added online fees.

Lems may not have been completely wrong about gens may be dead...but it's only for xbox. MS treating their own hardware as a generic box, kiss any possibility of a graphics king goodbye lems.

@ghosts4ever: Oh please, for once try and post something halfway relevant, witty or worth posting.

Agreed. I love 5 mostly for the MP which is the best in the series but a new game is highly anticipated.

Yeah!! Make it a turn based game, JAPANIMEEEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I mean, I just want a good campaign like the good old days of glory. And plus, I already got my JAPANIMEEEEEEEEEE Halo, it's called: Halo Legends ;)

I played Halo 1 and 2 recently and it didn't age well.

People realize that all new Xbox games are going to Game Pass and as far as I remember most exclusives are Play Anywhere, so it was definite bet that Halo would be on PC...

I like my options, so I rather Halo be built for PC, than not.

LOL All in fun brother. I totally got what you meant. I actually like certain levels in H5 like the Sanghelios and Genesis.

Finished 1 a couple weeks back and playing 2 again. I play through them all every 18 months to 2 years. Time hasn't damaged them for me. But like I say, entertainment is subjective.

already have one called xbox one X :)

Well pretty close and next box will be closer still I suspect.

Best played on Super Mighty Scarlet XXX MonsterBox.

It's good to be MasterRace. :P

Rip xbox. You have been a good competitor

Good, FPS games are better with mouse and keyboard.

I agree and disagree. Halo 3 was amazing. But Halo CE was as you said, Halo 2 was a better, Halo 3 was at it's peak and it was kind of down hill from there imo. Reach just got boring.
