these screenshots are exactly why Halo remasters and from now on should also be on PC

Also the fact that many many MANY more people will buy the games and that equates to more $$$$$$$

Not sure about many MANY as Windows 10/MS store is pretty damn limiting.

If they released MCC on Steam it would sell shit loads.
 
Thanks, so official multiplayer maps will be available to play, only no matchmaking?

Except for warzone maps cause you cant play warzone in custom games anyway

But keep in mind that a custom game browser is coming in the future. We don't know when yet. Could be a few weeks.

Basically when that comes, you'll be able to look for custom game lobbies created by other people and join them. At least I hope it works that way

Any changes to the player limit? I assume it's fixed to the arena cap of 16, but would be interesting if they did bump it.
 
The Anniversary update took too long to install and I missed the short window in which it was up. SMH MS, if it goes up early might as well just deal with it at that point.

If someone has a custom map saved, you could probably play that, but again, you have to being in your own party to play it. Once the custom games browser is added, it should make it easier.
 
So even though I have a 650 Ti, it's saying I don't have DirectX Feature Level 12.
It crashes after saying I don't meet the minimum requirements even though everything is checked except the direct x mark. Any ideas?
 
As a long time Halo fan dear god this is a dream come true. To see Halo with such good image quality THANK YOU 343 for finally making this happen!!

30fps campaign madness please

I am saying that if push came to shove, wouldn't you want a 4K/30fps visual stunner of a campaign. Believe me, I know what 60fps has added but there are also drawbacks. For multiplayer, having it be smooth 60 fps is amazing. But in campaign, having resolution drop super low in heavy parts, and have it be variable to maintain framerate along with the janky 30fps animations at a slight distance, I wouldn't have minded 30fps for more visual fidelity no? Games like Uncharted and others pull it off easy. Anyways, no need to argue.

I personally thought Uncharted 4 was a big step down going from the Uncharted Collection, shooting felt so unresponsive and sluggish in comparison, and the motion blur was way OTT. 60fps>shiny shine

*beautiful pics from a beautiful gaffer*

Jesus its so good!! One of the things I hate about Halo 5 is the damn "shimmeriness" and jaggidy lines everywhere. This is so...clear...ugh. Fuck you PC nerds.
I'm too dumb to build a PC
 
AF seems low

Its 16x AF

Alright last 4k downsampled shots from me for the evening. My first thoughts without having played any multi online at all is that it feels like a solid build. At 4k on my 980ti its almost always 60fps, though with a few dips on certain maps. Can't wait to give it more of a spin with people

These look amazing! Can't wait to see once it launches and the maps forgers create what kind of visuals we'll see. 4K/60fps customs will be something else.

4K is overrated. It makes shit a bit sharper and less jaggy. 60fps actually makes the game play smoothly. 1080p is perfectly fine for now.
 
On dev maps I easily maintain 60 FPS @4K. Some forge maps are killing the frame rate though and they never caused frame dips on Xbox (High Citadel, Resolute).

Map builder with the option to play maps in custom games. A custom games browser will be added later on though.



Pfft!

Edit: Changed my location in Windows to US and the game started downloading.

Where did u change it? in windows store app or the website?
