Weep and cry hermits: Halo 5 is not coming to PC

Oh noes.

Thoughts?

@IgGy621985: Who gives an F ? lolol...

Okay

PR Speak.

Console fps, waste of time.

Doesn't matter to me. I will be ruling with battle buddies asap.

Steam must've been confused with the idea of a finished game coming to its platform.

Completely underwhelmed by what I've seen of the game, so yeah, don't care.

Boom!

Sounds like something someone would say before the release of their biggest hitter on the xbone.

Then completely change their tune 3-6 months from now

I wasn't expecting it to.

I really don't think any PC gamer is holding their breath in anticipation of Halo 5 going to any other platform. If there are they need to stop kidding themselves on.

I'm guessing there would be a 50/50 chance since 1 and 2 are on PC but that won't be 3-6 months from now.

Would look amazing at 4k downsampled, sweetfx and hacking files installed is what a loser hermit would say.

What exactly are those hacking files you mention

Wouldn't trust what MS say anyway!

I'd settle for it to maintain 1080p.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool.

Squadron 42 is a single player campaign that takes place within the Star Citizen universe. It can be played off-line. Squadron 42 will be released in episodes, 3 in total, the first of which will become available in 2016 .....

and it will never come to consoles !!!!

Hundreds of games in my library and thousands more games from past to present to buy........so no i dont care about 1 game no matter what that game is.

Besides im not a massive fan of halo anyway.

I don't get why some Xbox gamers are freaking out about the possibility of it going to PC.. Who cares?!?! We still have it on console so does it really matter if PC gamers get it too?

The more copies it sells, the better, no?

Just means less people will get to play the game.

A single player space combat game in episodes? lol. Or is that the FPS segment you're talking about? That would be stupid in episodes too.

I had planned to buy SC closer to release (once I know it's actually going to be a thing) but if they're seriously going to pull this episode crap I'm out.

I'm surprise and amaze. Next.

Edit: Shouldn't this news be posted on the sticky anyway?

Can't believe this is coming from a consolite.

Kudos to you dear sir.

.

It's the best FPS you can play.

PS4 has killzone which is terrible and I'm pretty sure it's dead now anyway. GG moved onto a new IP

PC has CS:GO which is 3 years old and hasn't had a good FPS shooter on it since

Multiplats are CoD (average), BF series (piss poor), Battlefront (same as BF series),

Console only has destiny (piss poor)

XB/PC only Titanfall (great game but almost 2 years old now and the sequel hasn't even been announced)

What FPS does PC even have besides CS:GO or Titanfall?

I love Halo but PC has a huge backlog of great FPS and they haven't all aged badly. FEAR is still good so is HL2 and Stalker. On multiplats Wolfenstein The New Order was excellent IMO.

FPS is fine on console though, I wouldn't take any notice of uninspiredcup he's a troll.

Halo. Never heard of it.

But recently is the question. Wolf is SP only, so is HL2. Stalker is a canceled series last came out in 2009. Most people don't want to play the same game for 5-6 years. we like new things to play. What Shooter on PC are people playing? Lets face it, the FPS genre sucks right now. The only good FPS franchise still alive is Halo.

Pretty sure PC gamers don't care about Halo and the ones that do also have Xbox..

Meh, i do want to play it so ill probabily pick up an x1 later this year

Why would hermits give a shit about a washed up shooter like Halo? There are much better games on PC.

You're severely misunderstanding the word 'episode' in this instance. 'Episode' 1 is something far more akin to Wing Commander 1 than Half Life 2 episode 1. C.I.G. did play with the idea of releasing episode 1 in chapters of 10 missions each, to backers not on general release, but they ditched that idea and are going with complete games. The following 2 'episodes' being equivalent to Wing Commander 2 and 3. You know that Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Halo 5, Fall Out 4, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate or just about anything with a number after it or a sequel are all episodic series. The biggest movie being released this year is Star Wars Episode 7.

The script for Squadron 42 (call it episode 1 if you must) is 670 pages long and took 66 days to shoot, I'm sure you've seen the clip with Gary Oldman. Now compare that to the average Hollywood script size which generally around 114 pages and most movies are 95 to 125 pages, with each page generally contributing 1 Minute of screen time.

When the Nazi party ran Germany it was the best (and only) party you could vote for; didn't make them good. Comparatively, console fps being predominantly popular, as well as inherently insidious, doesn't make them good either.

Go play Quake my friend, real fps.

Well said.

All games, where possible, should be multi-platform. Exclusive games made exclusive for the benefit of the console manufacturer are not beneficial to gamers.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense now. I thought ffs of all things to be diving into this new episodic crap surely not SC. I really hate the episodic approach in all games. Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

@blueinheaven: No problem. I can understand where the confusion would come from, especially when there is so much wrong information getting thrown about

Glad I picked up my Halo 5 X1 bundle today then.

I've played quake. it's highly overated. I'd take Unreal and CS over it anyday. Still neither of them are as good as halo.

Of course, these require still. For the laymen, a two weapon insta-shield-regen power boosting microtransaction game is the better option. It's specifically why the series is so popular, it's the bejewell soccer mom of fps.

Quake is specifically for alpha males i.e. lucozade drinkers. The kind of people who view challenge as fun rather than the obstacle.

Sadly, this style of "superior people games" are no longer preferred, and much like Nazi Germany, a better option is denied until the darkness passes.

lol quake is pretty much an unreal rip off but not as good. it's hardly balanced or skill based(mostly 1 shot kills like crazy). the last one was 8 years ago and even then Q3 arena was a better game which was like 11? years ago. I'm pretty sure the series is dead anyway. Even if you say it's better, what somewhat recent PvP shooter does PC have?

Halo is the ultimate skill based game, it's completely balanced. Everyone has the same load outs and set up same movement speed same everything. the TTK is higher then most games allowing a better player to get shot form behind and still win unlike the low TTK games form most casual. Even the lower TTK swat is more skill based, 1 to the head 3 to the body, head shots rule all. weapons are semi auto (no spray and pray) . Team modes actually require teamwork like regicide, CTF, king of the hill and the many modes it has. has modes for 4 total players all the way to 24 total players. The fun non competitive modes like grifball and infection. Halo is the epitome of a perfect multiplayer game. Now this one has dedicated servers and free maps. The microtransactions are all earnable in game and don't effect the competitive game

LOL

Games on PC that are nowhere near as dull and boring as Quake:

Doom 2

Clive Barker Undying

FEAR

HL2

Hopscotch

Bingo

Poklng yourself in the eye with a rusty fork

@darkangel115:

This is what PC has that's new. You can play this right now and it's 100% free, it's not on console though.

I'm sorry but this needs a "lol console multiplayer FPS".

Disclaimer: Under no circumstances am I supporting the flick flacking troll, carry on arguing with him until you're blue in the face.

@blueinheaven: I respect your opinion my friend.

I have an XB1 anyway. Sucks that I have to play the game with a controller and dynamic resolution though. I would rather play 1440p/144fps with M+KB.

I would love it to come to pc, I have pre-purchased it for Xbox One anyway but playing it fully maxed with amazing fps and with keyboard/mouse with no auto aim would be the ultimate way to play Halo 5.
