So we can use this for custom games too though then pretty much? Either way this is awesome

Well yes, Microsoft is still very much in the business of selling Xbox One consoles.

Thank you! Getting tiresome to read comments from people thinking the whole game is coming to PC.
As I was reading. Once I finished I realized what it was and was extremely disappointed (again, I understand the reasoning for bringing Forge to PC). You're missing my point.

This is pretty cool. I'm excited to see what maps come of it.
It's obviously not for PC gamers.
I think people's disappointment is that it could have been for PC gamers.
No one is asking for full Halo games missing the Forge mode, or for MS to not release a standalone free Forge mode. They are just saying that they'd like Microsoft to fully commit to their stated position of wanting to do PC gaming properly.

But it's not even for them, it's a companion app for the console game- like the Android/iOS Destiny apps.
Have you considered it's possible to both understand that and still be disappointed?

Does the testing need to be done with players on Xbox One, or will PC players be able to play Spartan?

Shame, they should be in the business of selling software given that Halo is selling worse with each iteration.
Also yawn wake me up when Halo comes to PC.
And they can also play on these maps. Obviously has no full MP with matchmaking, but you are on a goddamn Game Forum, so you will most likely find people to play with. It's also free, you know?

So make them and play them? I get the first, but if they aren't planning on a proper Halo release on PC, the latter seems rather ridiculous.

Custom Halo matches on PC at 4K/60fps.
I'm surprised they are allowing folks to play and test on the platform. That's a sweet addition. A tiny portion of Halo 5's multiplayer is going F2P, essentially.

EXACTLY. So fucking pumped
test mode is intended solely for PC clients. Published levels and creations will be 100% Xbone compatible. And of course we'll have more to discuss about the implementation of those creations in the Xbox environment at a later time.
I mean they can buy a console like everyone else just like I did.

Can you confirm this Stinkles?
No, actually it's not. You are just delusionally entitled ¯\_(ツ

This. Thank you. Not that difficult to understand. I understand the benefits of releasing this on PC, but it's a huge slap in the face (unintentionally) to those who want this franchise to release on time via Windows.
MS says they want to properly support PC gaming and bringing Halo on board would be a fantastic way to deliver on that commitment.

youre not seriously trying to suggest microsoft, a business, is trying to sell their product?
whats next, are sony and nintendo businesses too?! puuhhhleeease
cmon dude, really? a slap in the face?
if you lived in one town, and a restaurant you really like opened in another town, would they be slapping you in the face? A feature that didnt exist now does and isnt the feature YOU want it to be. thats not slapping you in the face.

Shattering my dreams.
"Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re bring this same spirit of creation and collaboration to the PC later this year with Forge – Halo 5: Guardians Edition for Windows 10."
Since I haven't be in on Halo news, I thought this was an addition to announcing Halo 5 for PC (a separate announcement before this one) and got excited. It's confusing the way it's worded and I totally understand initially confused.

I love how misused that word is.
God forbid people are disappointed that they can't play Microsoft's biggest FPS on PC.

aka, forge community maps will now be part of the sustain project after June 2016. Forge team will hold a bigger role in the sustain as the main team moves onto the next project.
I totally get it

Yeah, the war is strong.
When i saw the header they posted i read it as Halo 5: Guardians Edition is coming to Windows 10, just to read Forge a moment later.

Sounds good, I'm anxious for more quality forge creations in mm. Thanks for answering.

I agree. However for folks wondering why we don't "just" port the whole game - realtalk:
While I personally believe it's an evergreen masterpiece of whimsy and wonder, it would be a year old by the time Forge released, and given the architecture, cloud, matchmaking, etc etc etc etc differences between platforms, it would be neither trivial to port, nor uncompromised in that process, given it was designed with targeted Xbox One perf in mind to begin with.
Both audiences deserve better than that, as you'll see with Halo Wars 2 onwards, which was designed with Xbox AND PC in mind from scratch and makes the most of each platform's relative strengths.

I don't think Halo 5 proper is going to end up on PC... but Halo 6 will, day and date.
Because every time I don't get 100% of what I want, it's a "slap in the face".

They're just being bloody spiteful at this point with not wanting to put proper Halo on PC -_-

It's that shooter from ten years ago which ended on a cliffhanger in it's second part and was never seen again on Windows platform.
Yep please Frankie, this one in particular
A band on the run.
It's a slap in the face because MS constantly talks about wanting to deliver on the PC gaming front. Obviously the first step in doing so would be bringing Halo to PC since it's one of their most popular franchises. If you're going to release Forge, why not just go all the way and port the game over to Windows and support it? If done right, would it really not sell and thrive in this environment?

I think they will keep that for E3 and announce the Master Chief Collection as "Available Now" and Halo 5 for the Holidays 2016

I do hope we'll continue to see more in the way Halo Wars 2 is showing Microsoft going forwards. I assume the already in "end development" games are not coming to PC but rather the new upcoming projects.
However let me just say Crackdown would be amazing on PC.
