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

Never thought it would.....don't care either.

and yet, here you are

Halo has always been fine with a controller. This dynamic resolution thing sounds a bit weird though, hopefully I won't notice it. Totally hyped either way fingers crossed it produces the goods.

@blueinheaven: It will be noticeable, but it is better than framerate dips.

So then using your logic..........you care about what I think. Thanks dude......

I guess I'll have to wait and see. I play at 1440p on PC too and I am okay with 1080p on consoles, much below that though and I will start to notice. No way to know yet how much below 1080p it will go when things get hectic on screen.

I found the sub 1080p (1320x1080) Halo 2 graphics distracting in MCC.

Yeah that's a weird one. The cut scenes look amazing but the game itself is not so impressive but that's to be expected considering how old the game is even with a remaster IMO. I was actually impressed with how good Halo 4 looked in MCC, never played it on 360. ODST was great as well when it turned up.

I played Halo Reach on 360 recently and that was bearable too (amazing game). I think Halo 5 will be great I don't expect it to hit full 1080 the whole time I'm just slightly concerned at the dynamic res thing I would rather they had fixed 900p than the damn thing jumping up and down but maybe that's not how it works.

People still play halo?

Halo 3 and 4 are pretty good on the MCC. They run at 1080p/60fps most of the time and the graphics transfer over well. Halo 3 has some really bad faces though. lol

I think Halo 4 was one of the most impressive looking games of last gen. It was really pushing the 360 hardware. It looked good, and was technically impressive for a last-gen DX 9.x based game.

Yeah I was kind of shocked at Halo 4 specially since the MCC reviews said they hadn't done much to it. It really doesn't look or play like a game conceived on the 360. So I suppose 343 aren't such chumps after all and there is reason to be optimistic about Halo 5 :)

It's an alpha of a F2P game. I loved the UT games back in the early 2000s but that was 12 years ago and the F2P model in it now makes it at best questionable. How can you compare a game in pre-alpha as a great FPS you can play now lol

the game is Free..not free2play.

difference being Epic aren't releasing the game with locked content

Unreal and OverWatch >>>>>>> Halol5

Thanks for your input. And you played Halo 5 when? And come to think of it... Unreal and Overwatch when?

You've just woken up from one of those 'dreams' haven't you? Have you taken your pills?

Don't put so much stock in what you see in trailers. It doesn't mean a game cant/wont end up on another platform in the future.

"To pay for the game, it will eventually create a marketplace where developers, modders, artists, and players can buy and sell mods and content, or just give it away for free.^[54] Earnings from this marketplace will be split between the content creator and Epic.^[55]"

Oh no...

None of that makes this game any less free. It means it'll have optional community created content that may be sold, should the creator so wish.

It's already a far better multiplayer shooter than any version of Halo has ever been.

It makes it as free as killer instinct or drive club.

And no it isn't even close lol

I don't think PC gamers want to play a console game though.

Unfortunately jealousy cannot change reality; potty young people words mean nothing, the precedence was set, the bar has been lowered, an unchangeable fact as steely and solid as Big Bens chimes.

Those who aspire hate those who have aspired, such is the way of the world.

lol young people words. my kids are probably you age. I like how you couldn't respond to anything i said. but yeah i'll go give UT2015 a shot this weekend, i loved the one form 2003, but it still wasn't halo

@darkangel115:

Are you really comparing user made hats to purchasing characters in Killer Instinct? Dafuq?!

This in no way shows that the Unreal Tournament base game from Epic won't be 100% free just because they will allow for users to charge for custom content. UE4 is free and they provide free content in the marketplace but they allow for other user created assets to be purchased. That doesn't mean UE4 is pay to use...

Actually, the highest played FPS on consoles currently are: Destiny, CoD, and BF. I do believe that Halo 5 will have high amounts of traffic for the 1st couple of months, but will die down kind of quickly especially after BO3 drops. Current Halo titles have been shown to not have the lasting legs that it's competition seems to show.

FYI, TitanFall 2 have been announced, as a multiplat.

Their loss.

lets try this again...Epic are developing this game with full content(maps,weapons,ect) and ALL of this is free. Anyone will be able to download the game and play UT without being locked out by content designed by the developers themselves and will be a full packaged game . What wont be free however are the mods and maps that modders release If one chooses to charge for them.

How exactly is this similar to buying season passes to unlock fighters in killer instinct?

...well expect for the part of drive club not being free

Not true now. Possibly true in 4 months. Released on pc in 6 months... Microsoft for you.

This. Your loss MS, but I'm not buying a shitbox.

Are hermits begging for this game?

i lost interest in Halo after the original game, like 15 years ago. I couldn't care less if it ever comes to PC

Oh well, got a hundred other video games to play.

You're comparing a tank aim console MP to Unreal?

Even in it's alpha state it demolishes halo.....the skill cap, maps, and gfx are just substantially superior.

I don't know about that....they seem to want console games on PC.

Wait, the PC gets Halo 5.? Wouldn't yall at least want Halo 4 first story wise any way? I mean while it doesn't add a ton to the story there is still a key enemy add to the series.

uh....Where does it say Halo 5 is coming to PC?

I didn't realize there was much demand from PC gamer's for Halo 5. Though it is a shame nobody can experience the game at an acceptable resolution. If any PC gamer really wants to play Halo 5 they would just buy a Xbox One, it's a fairly cheap piece of hardware for anyone with a job.

I doubt many care.

Zero shits were given on my part

Who cares, I'll take Arma 3, UT15 and Insurgency over Halo 5.

In all honesty, never understood the hype for Halo games, I've played all of them on the X360 and will be getting Halo 5 only because there are no other FPS games to play...Its a generic shooter with bulky as f*** enemies who jump around like maniacs and Halo 5 graphics is only a little better than ps2 graphics...

Maybe a few. But in general, no. Most PC gamers lost interest in Halo when Halo 2 became Vista exclusive and MS tried to pull the ol' charge for online play crap with GFWL. It was then boycotted into the ground so hard MS forfeited their entire scheme and they never tried it again on the PC platform. Fairly recently GFWL was shut down entirely and most of their game copy protection was handed over to Valve and their games now use Steam.

For those reasons Halo 3, 4, and 5 are unlikely to ever be on PC, though stranger things have happened. But it's been so long since a Halo game was on PC few probably care. And looking through this thread, I'd say that would be an accurate assumption.

There are lots of far better shooters on PC anyway.

FPS's are basically designed for consoles. I have never played one on a computer. Couldn't careless here.

Ignorance is Bliss! No I'm not downing you, but honestly the less you know, the better life is.
