I truly understand why people would be "mad" at this since they want Halo on PC, but jeez. I can wait until Halo 6, Halo Wars 2 is coming this fall with PC (granted I probably won't buy it as I'm not that much of a RTS guy).
Funny how some people are talking about MS and their lack of commitment to PC gaming and they've been releasing and announcing games (and in this case tools) for PC for major Xbox Games. Ori, Gears: UE, Forza: Apex, Killer Instinct, QB all have been released while ReCore, Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2, Cuphead, and I guess Gigantic...lolololol, are all coming this year. So 343i releases a tool for their Halo 5 community on PC and it's (as I've seen numerous times) a "slap in the face"? Smh. As far as announcements go, the only Xbox One exclusive this year is Gears 4 (and I think that's gonna come to PC as well)
I would like a Halo on PC, and having the Forge part does suck since you know it is possible. Time and money-wise, it probably doesn't make any sense for 343i. Taking all that time to port, they could be working on a PC/Xbox version of Halo 6 and making sure that runs well on UWP (as it will be on UWP). I'm just making sense out of it. I do think a Halo 5 on PC would be awesome as Halo 5's gameplay is probably the best Halo gameplay to date, so I do empathize with PC gamers who want to play, but honestly it just seems like a lot of port begging.
Can Microsoft do it? They sure can. That's obvious. Will they, probably not this year...maybe after Halo 6 comes out and they release a "Reclaimer Collection" or something. We'll see what happens.
Either way, good stuff 343i, I tried out Forge but using a controller is just meh, I'll try it out on my PC (if it can handle it...lol) and see if I can come up with something.
