Man, I've said it before but I really did choose the best time to invest in a PC didn't I?

If you can rent servers this will make money too, which would be great for 343's end of the deal. I've been clamoring for this for a long time.
I would pay (small) money to curate a playlist.
'Nilla's Remake Suite'
awesome remakes 24/7.
* to explain the difference in my mind
custom browser: relies on live hosts and populating with players
curated server: custom playlist that can be populated regardless if curator is online or not.

If we can rent custom servers I'll make a competitive one.

Xbone as well? Thank god this games multi gets better and better.
Yeah recently I went back in Halo CE PC and the server browser was a lot of zombies and rockets. Hopefully in this it's more competitive and stays that way for some time.

You can already create private matches on dedicated servers. They won't charge.

Will my progress from Halo 5 (customization unlock) transfer to the PC version?
Time to finish my build by next Summer.

I'll admit, I haven't been keeping up with the halo news (recent move and incredibly busy). I'm confused, is PC getting Halo 5? I was under the impression Forge was coming to Win 10 so you could craft levels, but nothing beyond that. Can you play the campaign, co-op and multiplayer?
Yes it will transfer
You can play Forge and Custom Games, now there will be a game browser so you can play with more than just friends
There is no character customization on Halo 5 Forge, you'd have to use either your Xbox or Halo waypoint to customize emblem/armor, so yes.

That actually reminds me, I wonder if they can add something like this for the MCC. It's shit how you can't get any good games for anything that's not H2A. I tried to play CE for the first time in awhile and it's now a fucking 2v2 playlist. Why even have a fucking CE playlist at that point?

Whoo, fucking ace.
No "clarification" yet. Unless he's getting spanked by Phill Spencer or Bonnie Ross right now.343 yes oh my gawd.
Please don't come in the thread and "clarify" please Stinkles.

I wonder if a custom option would be controllers only? I'd love to give it a go on pc but I'll get destroyed by m/kb players.

Can someone explain to a layman why this is a big deal? I just want to play Halo 5 on PC, will I be able to?

This is huge because you'll be able to play with more than just your friends / pre planned games. You can click on the server browser, see games that are being currently played, and if there is an open slot jump in.
It's the best thing we could ask for other than matchmaking. This will probably ensure a solid player base will exist on PC

No.
A server browser is a screen that lists available servers to join (as opposed to matchmaking that automatically joins you into a server). It would be a big deal for PC because there's otherwise no matchmaking.

Man as someone who has played and loved Halo since CE I can't wait to try this with M+KB. Never played a Halo title on PC before.
Sooooo excited

GAF custom server. Otherwise known as thunderdome, the last place you will call home.
Halo 5 ends up being such a big game. Best game support I've seen and experienced for sure.
With all the things Halo 5 now has, I really wonder what will be at launch for the next big title in a year or two. I don't see them doing a continuation of the Halo 5 multiplayer (it'd have to have be done differently for it to be still functional in two years), so launching an all new multiplayer will be a massive task.

Halo 5 needed this.
As great as it is I think it's being held back a lot by being an Xbox exclusive.
Now it'll be accessible to so many more players, you don't have anything to lose by downloading it on PC so I'm expecting it to really explode... The game is just that good.
