- Thread starter BraXzy

Nope, though with how MS is going I am expecting a MCC or H5 PC announcement at sometime now since they've gone full Xbox == PC (which is great)

Nah, just a lot of interseting stuff said by Phil. Maybe we will get a surpise post on halowaypoint about hcs, idk.
As long as my profile transfered I'd buy it. AA and potential removal of 30FPS animations works be so nice
ok yea didn't really consider the fact profile could potentially transfer. All my reqs and stuff instantly on PC? Yea I'd buy it lol
If you have room throw an invite my way. GT: sB Arcade

Added, but your're showing offline.
Oh man better texture res and AF would make this game look so much better, same with AA
Yeah, the Pirate Emblem is unlocked from the Ghost Destroyer commendation. Made very little sense.

If Halo 5 went to PC...
:3
It would have the controller requirement, no keyboard love, no no, no keyboard love

Nonthing maybe lol
I'm having connection problems, jhoul. I don't know if it's Halo servers or my Internet. Sorry :/
It's solved lol
It might be the servers because I was randomly kicked after our match.
This is my #1 worry... although Halo 1 on PC was fine, I'm worried what a kbm crowd will do to my beloved.

Guys you know damn well Halo 5 or MCC wouldn't go to Steam, don't kid yourselves.
Games for Windows live 10 is teh futurz!

Honestly I still play my FPS on PC with a controller where able, and I originally grew up playing them on PC. Just what I prefer. If there were crossplay I'd almost expect they'd need some weird compensation so KB players wouldn't wreck.
Or they just bring back Halo Online and use a similar REQ system.

its so weird going from halo that gave you daily/weekly goals for mp, campaign and firefight and had campaign medals and scoring to none of that

Inb4 we see Halo MCC for Windows 10 PCs at this year E3!
I'm expecting both MCC and 5 honestly. H5 will already be near its year of sales so it would make sense

Yeah me too, obviously they will not say anything before the Halo World Championship but a Halo 5/MCC W10 PC announcement at E3 makes sense

it would be cool if MCC PC was paired with a Reach update for it but thats just a pipe dream at this point

Again guys, it won't be on Steam. you will be locked into buying it on the Windows 10 store and it won't be a full PC version.
Yes I want a H5 and MCC port to PC but I want it done right.

The former does not preclude the latter. I get the whole "I want everything through Steam" but MS is perfectly within their rights to sell you a W10 app version. It's not the end of the world.

The new NeoGAF weapon skins look pretty good in game!
That looks pretty nice, like it could be an actual weapon design and not just a MP skin.
I'm okay with it honestly, they are looking into updating things to allow more user modification and fixing Vsync. It's not like it's another app I have to install like uplay
And I'd turn all that off and try to run the game at +200fps
Ah, the true next-gen feel
I wonder how many of the Xbox One-specific optimizations can just be "switched-off" and how many need to be re-engineered if you are going to put it on another platform. Like how much of the dynamic resolution changes, dynamic shadow detail changes, animation changes, etc. are on a set algorithm while how much is on a scene/level specific. We see the algorithm at work in Forge (i.e. depending on budget use, dynamic lights will be turned off at a certain distance) but how much of that crosses-over into campaign, for example?
If it can be just turned off, PC gamers will have to get the same limits of Forge as Xbox players because then the forged maps in PC would be incompatible with Xbox's set restrictions.
The only downside of the Windows store to me right now is mod support. It was huge for Halo: CE and party the reason much of my time was played on those modded Custom Edition maps. It should be possible to add mod support considering Fallout 4 on consoles is getting it. Games on Xbox One are just UWA so ¯\_(ツ

Well finally met a group taking advantage of map exploit on Grifball matchmaking so guess I won't be playing that until it's patched. The best part is sitting there and riding out the match so that I don't get banned for quitting lol. Reported them but not sure if MS/343 does anything about that kind of behavior.
I assume we're getting an emblem for placing in the February season? Have they shown that off yet or given an ETA for when it should show up?
And just after I post that, Looks like it should be fixed today: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/updates/Hammer-Storm

Yeah it would be interesting. The "simple" solution you assume would just be tweaking knobs where all that stuff comes into play and at what distances, but I have to assume especially if you're focused on set hardware you might hard-code certain stuff or have inflexibilities due to other underlying elements.

Figured it was something. Danny and me ended up winning most of the matches (7-3?). He placed Plat 5, I placed Gold 3. On to the next placements.

Im actually afraid to finish placement games today. My last game was an embarrassment and it felt like all my shots that should have finished players off werent connecting. Yesterday I got to gold 6. If I get placed in gold again this month I'm not even going to try and climb. The problem is that I don't have the time to play a large volume of games each month like everyone and the only reason I've been playing as much as I have lately is that I'm on vacation. So in theory even though i should be able to climb the ranking ladder, it's not going to happen for me with limited games. I feel like when I play well I only win half my games. When I play bad I'm rarely carried by my teammates. Its probably a miracle I win 50 percent or more of the games I play. Fewer games played, quitters, bad teammates and the occasional hiccup bad performance makes it ridiculously hard to solo oneself very high.

343 should have never made an armor that is solely attainable through spartan companies. It has screwed over just about every casual spartan company there is. Or at a minimum they should have had the requirements scale with the size of the spartan company with perhaps a minimum spartan company size.
That sounds like Hearthstone.
Veryone who is a little bit smart knows this and understands this, fuck this steam boner everyone has

yea, same shit happened to me. got booted from a spartan company just as we were getting close
I disagree, I think the game needs more stuff to make SC matter, TBH. If you're a casual player, this stuff isn't intended for you in the first place.
