Support NeoGAF

[Moa]

Halo 5: Forge is primed to bring Halo 5’s entire Forge level-creation experience to Windows 10 PCs, along with a suite of great new features, including full mouse and keyboard support, 4k resolution display capability, a brand new content browser to makes showcasing and sharing your creations easier than ever before, and the ability play your creations with friends online through custom games.

One of the foremost questions we’ve seen has been on the topic of performance specs for this new Halo experience. Today, we’re excited to share the Halo 5: Forge System Requirements in order to help you prepare for the game’s upcoming launch. Let’s see what kind of horsepower we’re looking at!

Figured it was topic worthy

[LostMyNarbles]

I want it now. ;_;

 

[ViciousDS]

I hate windows anniversary edition!

wwwwhhyyyyyyyy

I can't play wow on it, disabled DVR and everything. Shit freezes for 15 seconds every 4 minutes. Damn it.....looks like I'll have to wait

 

[Darkangel]

It will be nice if a 980TI/1070 can really play this at 4K/60.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

4k 60 it is.

 

[Obliterator]

I reach the Ultra spec, can't freaking wait to play this. We gotta get some customs going GAF

 

[jizzlobber]

Oh man, I only have 8gb of ram... Aiming for 1080/60fps

Do I really need to up that?

 

[Sou Da]

Probably not/

Hopefully that's just for the higher settings.

 

[epmode]

Wait, they're requiring you to be running the Anniversary update? MS, sigh.

 

[NBtoaster]

So you can essentially make bullshots for your xbone maps?

 

[Obliterator]

That and play Halo 5 multiplayer

 

[FyreWulff]

So you can essentially make bullshots for your xbone maps?

You can play custom games too

in 4K 60FPS

 

[Kibbles]

My i7 6700k and 980ti are ready for some sweet 4k60


I wonder if multiplayer controller support works exactly like Xbone with autoaim. It's got to right??

 

[Compsiox]

I can't wait to create one amazingly detailed map and then never make another.

I hope I'll keep goin tho.

 

[jizzlobber]

Hopefully that's just for the higher settings.

I'll try it out before splashing out in more ram
I will have to sooner or later anyway I guess.

This is going to be great!

 

[luckygodzilla]

Looking forward to crushing it with my 1080.

 

[Fata1moose]

Hope it's more than an upgraded resolution. I'd like to see better shadow quality, greater draw distance, etc...

 

[HooYaH]

Isn't Forge just a level editor? If so, is there anything to play unless you have Halo 5.

Full custom games on every MP map in Halo 5, including the non-Forge centric ones

 

[Diablohead]

I hope my gtx 950 can scrape by with nearly recommended settings, I have the cpu and ram easily covered.

 

[Fata1moose]

Full custom games on every MP map in Halo 5, including the non-Forge centric ones

To further elaborate, every Arena map, nothing from the Warzone suite.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I wonder if multiplayer controller support works exactly like Xbone with autism. It's got to right??

Was that a purposeful word swap or just a hilarious autocorrect of autoaim? Lol.

 

[Kibbles]

Fuckkk that was Google keyboard autocorrecting >.<

Questions for Frank or Tashi:

1. Do Custom matches on PC use dedis?
2. Is there LAN support?
3. Does the API pick up custom games on PC?

 

[Elitist1945]

4k60 HERE. WE. GO.

Edit: Wait my OS is 1511 how do I upgrade. I fucking bought Windows 10 like two months ago.

4. Stinkles will you play customs with us

 

[LelouchZero]

Good stuff, I can't wait to play Halo 5 at 1080p!

 

[Miker]

Hoping my 3570k doesn't hold me back from 4K60, although given the Xbone's CPU it shouldn't.

 

[Chizzanger]

Wait, a quick Google search is telling me that this is free?

 

[Zedox]

Wait, a quick Google search is telling me that this is free?

That's because it is free.

 

[jbug617]

it is

 

[Chizzanger]

Huh, I guess they are hoping this drives people to get the "full experience" on Xbox?
I'd be more than willing to double dip on pc though if I could play through the campaign again at 1080p/60.

I think its A) To give people a better way to use Forge using a keyboard and mouse. A feature people have wanted for a long time and B) A chance for the Halo Team to get used to developing for PC similar to Forza Apex. I think Halo 6 will be a PC game as well as long as MS is able to move a decent chunk of copies on Gears 4, Horizon 3, Sea of Thieves etc.

I think it's the other way around. As I understand it, Halo 5 Forge allows 343 to port the Halo engine to work on PC, and lays the ground for the network infrastructure as well. Halo 6 is very likely to come to PC, as pretty much every single first party MS game is, and will probably run on an upgraded version of the Halo 5 engine, so the PC port should be an easy transition.

Yeah that makes way more sense.

 

[longdi]

So wait, this be free, and i can play real halo5 mp on pc mouse+kb, whats the catch? I need to sign up a ms account instead of local account now?

You have to pay for membership using bing credits.

The catch is that there is no matchmaking. Just Custom Games and Forge.

LMFAO

 

[Majine]

Just release the full game, goddamnit.

 

[Moa]

Just release the full game, goddamnit.

You don't want the campaign.

Spoiler

It's not that bad.

 

[Tagyhag]

I've always liked the MS games system requirements tables, especially when they actually add what resolution and fps its targeting.

That RAM requirement seems silly but whatever, RAM is so cheap.

I hope someone makes a good custom matchmaking tool.

I think you just need to go to settings > update and security > check for updates

 

[Elitist1945]

I did and it said it was up to date. I found the update file on Microsoft's website. Thanks though.

 

[Mohasus]

I love the humor of whoever writes i7 or AMD equivalent

Yeah MS system requirements tables are really well done.

 

[longdi]

Custom games be like a server browser with ping and all? Since i got no friends, an invite only system will fail me

 

[Locuza]

I love the humor of whoever writes i7 or AMD equivalent

I like the AMD GPU recommendations even more.

 

[Majine]

I like that 4K 60 FPS is in that spec sheet.

It's what I personally target in PC games nowadays.

I don't have a 4k monitor but I'm pretty damn pumped to see I meet the requirements as that means I'll be able to do some awesome downsampling. Image Quality should be fantastic
