>The PC version of Halo: Reach will not include the Forge level editor or the Theater replay modes at launch, the development team for Halo: The Master Chief Collection has confirmed. 343 Industries doesn't know how long it will take to get them ready for PC, but it will likely be "a very lengthy amount of time".
>"We need to properly give both features enough time, so they are a true PC-first experience," lead PC producer Michael Fahrny said in a development update yesterday. "When you look specifically at Forge and what it truly is, it is a 3D editing tool that was built completely for console. In some cases, it’s built to have mouse and keyboard support, and in some it’s not—and that’s one of our biggest challenges right now with the feature.
>The team's main focus is finishing the main game, after which it will try to get Forge and Theater finalized "as soon as possible", with help from studios Ruffian and Splash Damage.
>In the same update, the developers revealed that players will be able to import custom maps from previous Halo games on the Xbox 360 to PC. Maps made in the Forge modes on Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4 will be playable on PC: to prepare, all you have to do is boot them up on Xbox 360, or Xbox One if available, and upload files to your file share. When the time comes, you'll be able to play them in The Master Chief Collection on PC.
the best halo on pc is custom edition and this won't change
Camden Reed
Good thing you can import maps from the 360, that should last long enough until Forge releases. Theater sucks though. Honestly this isn't that big of a deal since it's coming anyway
Brayden Thomas
I already knew this, it doesn't matter in the slightest.
Also, I will instant-quit/leave every match set on Forgeworld. I do not miss that garbage one fucking bit.
But user-kun, the good shit is only the Forgeworld variants.
Hemorrhage can die in a fucking fire. What a fucking shitty map. Fucking fuck you for whoever voted for it back in the 360 days.
Colton Lopez
Nah, fuck that shit. I never want to see the cage in my entire life ever again.
Cooper Perry
Forge was great. Being able to build crazy custom maps was what made Reach multiplayer worthwhile. They absolutely need to get this working with an unlimited mode so you can place as many blocks as your computer will handle.
Leo Morgan
So?
Forge and Theater were niche things in the original!
Campaign and Online are whats important nigga.
Matthew King
Once you quit thne your team might have a chance at winning
Lincoln King
Nothing wrong with forge but recycling forge garbage in matchmaking is terrible. It should be forbidden. In Halo 3 there weren't that many forge maps on matchmaking so it didn't matter, not to mention Foundry and Sandbox were pretty easy on the eyes overall.
It's better than a broken, unfinished product (looking at you bioware)
Ayden Green
>In Halo 3 there weren't that many forge maps on matchmaking That's wrong. They made so many maps from foundry
Nolan Miller
Each game is $10. ODST is $5.
Lincoln Foster
They already announced the pricing, animenigger
Joseph Fisher
it feels like they were more popular in the mlg playlist, maybe I remember wrong
Ian Powell
Have they announced a more specific release date for MCC PC?
Landon Cox
This news is just to soften the blow so to speak, to the fact that the pc version is actually never getting forge editor.
Oliver Lee
If you played ranked playlists most of the time, you would barely see custom forge maps. They were more common in social playlists, but still rare. Bungie get less shy about them in Reach because they were lazy fucks.
Wyatt Stewart
are you boys ready for a more juiced up version of Forge?
Adam Edwards
It was cool to see change compared to the same constantly. I really hated that towards the end of reach they removed that elite vs Spartan game type. That shit was dope
Mason Adams
Oh for fucks sake someone please forcibly remove Halo from Microshit's goddamn hands. They do not deserve this franchise. A bunch of fucking nerds were able to put out a fan made Halo game for free and much better than what this shitty company can pull off.
343 and Microsoft absolutely fucking suck.
Levi Torres
What game? Halo online isn't fan made. It's Halo 3 with hitscan BRs
Caleb Martin
why is this a thing with literally every halo game 343 has launched?
Alexander Rogers
is the author of this article braindead? We've known about this for over a month at this point. Why do writers always feel the need to overemphasize trivial details that no one had a problem with
>Halo on PC is gimped again Why don't you guys just get an Xbox already?
Josiah Jackson
no
they were able to do a tiny tiny flighting of 100 people or so for june and that's it.
reach will probably be out by september/october at this rate
Brandon King
Nobody can make Halo anymore dipshit plus Microsoft owned the Halo universe since 2001.
Lincoln Gonzalez
Who cares, Forge Worlds shitty grey garbage makes every map hideous I only want reach for another legendary campaign to play through, game is just a gross middle ground of Halo and CoD
Samuel Ortiz
At this point literally any other company can do better than 343. Even Snoy, even fucking EA for christ's sake.
Justin Anderson
So they WILL add it. Just not at launch. Okay? Disappointing, but only temporarily.
Why is this bad?
James Gray
Reach is shit anyway so who cares
Sebastian Gray
>dude, just pay us for a part of the game and we promise that we'll deliver on the other part later on >dude, just trust us Fuck off, /hg/.
Thomas Martin
This is bait and you know it, Snoy makes shitty movies, you want that garbage in Halo then you were probably a fan of them pushing gameplay and level design aside in Halo 2, 4, and 5. EA is shit and you should be shot just for even thinking of their names, Bungie is dead and it's time to give up on them.
Nicholas Walker
/thread
Gabriel Ward
They're taking so long with reach I highly doubt we'll get halo 2 this year
Cooper Brooks
that's what I meant
it's more or less halo 3 but not quite
Tyler Carter
What monkey paw? We are still getting it.
Josiah Martin
at least input settings are pretty good this time. The time is needed if we don't want shit again.
Is the mouse sensitivy working right or is it more sensitive in the horizontal axis like halo 5 forge on windows store?
Connor Brooks
Fair enough. But 343 has been pretty good on their delivery times, so I doubt they would leave it unavailable for very long. If it's not planned to be released some time in July, then that's a definite problem
Camden Walker
it might still be off but it felt good, we need to get them to fix that. I know why it happens, the horizontal and vertical scale has never been linear between the two even since halo 1. I assume they use the default settings (which is NOT the same for both) and do a multiplier on that. For example you need to set horizontal to "4" and vertical to "7" in halo 1 to get 1.0x speed either direction. The default value is "3" for both.
Kevin Nelson
Too bad it has shit netcode and is filled with like 90% sub human south americans
Evan Lee
If anything you MIGHT get Halo 3 this year. I feel like they're saving halo 3 before pushing out halo 4 because of how popular 3 currently is on mcc.
Jacob White
How is the aiming on PC? It it actually good or is it trash like Halo 5 and Online?
Why can't they just release games in a finished state?
Cameron Lee
Yeah, they delayed Halo 5's forge for the same reason. It was still a piece of shit producing maps that look and play like garbage. This bodes poorly.
David Ross
When the FUCK is this thing coming out?
Gabriel Martin
Oh man, you missed out
John Barnes
Nah 5's forge is fantastic, well worth the wait.
Nicholas Clark
Never
Dominic Wright
Halo 5 has the best Forge in the series, go suck Bungie's dick somewhere else.
David Cooper
>Halo 5 has the best Forge in the series Post launch content doesn't count you actual underage zoomer.
Alexander James
>DURR IF U DUN DFEND 343 U LIEK BUNJIE!
Yeah, no. Their series had been arguably in decline since 2 and most certainly in decline since 3. You'll learn about false dichotomies in freshman English, champ.
Oliver Smith
I liked how Microsoft is consistently dabbing on PC players by gimping their selection.

its not even a remaster, just literally the same game everyone already played why is it seen as the second coming of christ
Gabriel Ramirez
Microsoft may not be complete dogshit but 343 is. they didn't even have the balls to do this one themselves.
Luis Peterson
halo is garbage anyways, who cares
Connor Nelson
>still caring about this trash fire when they showed everyone live on stream that it's a lazy port emulating controller stick movement with the mouse instead of raw input
Literally what? Fucking proof? Nothing stood out in the gameplay footage shown, and the game supports 4K at unlocked frame rates, how is it lazy?
Grayson Anderson
It doesn't feel like it's emulating stick movements, but the framerate is definitely locked at 60 in the current build. The mouse aiming feels slightly off because of that.
Ayden Ward
It does and it has a better Forge than Reach and wasn't grey, I really don't understand why it was so hard for Bungie to just build off of Halo 3, you fucking cock sucker.
>decline >selling better and better each game
Andrew Campbell
> gearbox software > making anything good They fucked Combat Evolved up and Custom Edition doesn't make up for it. Go commit neckrope.
Evan Morgan
>> gearbox software >> making anything good half life 1 expansions
Jason Adams
3 is literally a straight upgrade of 2
Hudson Flores
Literal garbage that stands on its own two legs as a cult classic, made from copied assets made as a cash-grab to finance Borderlands. Just like Combat Evolved.
Luis Jackson
At least they're releasing the game one by one. I know that might seem bad when you see the xbox version with of all the games at once but that's what made the game broken in the first place.
Too much over one huge release instead of working on each game one by one
Cameron Morales
while we are on the topic, anyone else know the cause of this error?
>launching without the best part of reach well there goes my purchase
Ryan Williams
you're just angry because you're not a bad@ss
Jose Walker
Halo 3's forge is dogshit, reach one is for master race, you have to admit even if you hate the game

Gearbox is a shit company, shit developer, and you're a retarded faggot.
What kind of incompetent monkeys do they have working on this shit? Isn't half the point of Xbone that it shares similar architecture with Windows 10? At this rate it'll be fucking years before the rest of the games release.
Matthew Scott
So MCC has been released. Which game's multiplayer will die out the fastest and which one will maintain it's playerbase the longest?
Leo Flores
They honestly sound like they have no idea what they're doing. I doubt anyone at 343 has ever developed a pc game, or at least a proper pc game.
Hudson Wilson
1 will die out fastest and as much as 3 fags love to shit talk reach, reach will last the longest
Adam Howard
Didn't play any other game after 4, but even if constructions were bland, the forge in general was far better than Halo 3
Leo Carter
This
Ethan Barnes
I'm kind of scared that they somehow manage to fuck up the optimization and it then requiring a 1070 min or shit like that.
Asher Harris
Both are playable on the xbone. 3 by far has more players. Usually 4 is tied with 1 for the least amount
Leo Sullivan
Isn't 3's forge the best anyway?
Asher Cruz
>Can still play all custom Forge maps on PC. You are not barred from any content at all on release. >The mode has only been delayed for the sole purpose of making it function well on a drastically different input
You need to stop using the term Monkey's Paw because you have no idea what it means.
5's is definitely best, only problem is a lot of the pieces are too flat looking. They just need a few different textures you can apply and it would be pretty much perfect. I mean people have remade Death Island and shit.
Colton Jackson
that's because VSYNC is forced you idiot
Easton Gutierrez
how are you guys playing the game? is there a playtest going on?
Christopher Perez
Someone leaked the game yesterday or something, I missed the download link though
Gabriel Allen
On a technical basis, 3 had a couple solid maps made for it but it's very limited and stingy. A lot of the best Forge content had to use glitches and tricks, as it was intended as a gamemode supplement rather than a genuine map editor. Things like Foundry resulted when Bungie saw how nuts people were about Forge. Reach improved some things, but limited the real Forge stuff to Forge World maps which got the job done but kinda fucking sucked after dealing with them for a while. I didn't keep up on 4's Forge at all. And then 5 technically has the most customization, basic scripting, and can practically build entire maps entirely, to the point that there's playlists of nothing but community Forge maps.
3 had the old-school workarounds, 5 was the diverse sandbox of potential.
Jack Scott
It got leaked and you need a steam emulator (goldberg) and an alternate microsoft account
I'm gonna try to upload it on goygle drive if I can
halo reach was great tho, especially the multiplayer
the speedrunning ones?
Jonathan Green
Bungie = soul microsoft = soulless
Colton Morales
No, but it has the most content in the series.
Dominic Moore
not him but I can live without soulless forgeworld maps
and I don't even hate reach
Jace Long
How is 5's anything but the best? Sure many of the pieces are too simple and flat looking but I'd still take that over the binary industrial and sandy pallets of 3 or the endless gray of Reach. The terrain sculpting options alone make 5 the best, and that's not even getting into all the crazy scripting options.
John Taylor
Did you like waiting for object to spawn in just so you could merge boxes?
Ian Nelson
The multiplayer and campaign were both garbage. Only decent thing was Firefight.
Elijah Jenkins
shitaste
Asher Rodriguez
Whatever you say, tranny, go dilate.
>the speedrunning ones? All of them, it's their favorite Halo game and their campaign.
Xbox Game Studios/Bungie (2001-2007) + Halo = soul Bungie (2009-2010) + Halo = soulless Xbox Game Studios + Halo = soul
Bentley Ross
only poorfag spide like reach
Angel Gonzalez
Even that was garbage.
Hunter Edwards
Why are they taking so long ? Other developers can develop extremely complement PC ports in a fraction of the time this collection has taken
if youre interested in halo at all why do you even own a pc
Juan Russell
I sold my xbox in 2012 after realizing halo 4 is garbage
Wyatt Brooks
Nobody is interested in 343 Halo.
Hudson Stewart
>URL with greentext and a sentence at the end Is this bot posting? We already knew this when it was first announced.
Eli Ward
Xbox Game Studies kept their asses in check, tranny, soon when they left at the end of 2007, Bungie went to shit. Can't believe the Cult of Bungie is real.

in fact, I've heard not just Frankie but MULTIPLE 343i/microcuck employees have resetera accounts. Really MAKES YOU THINK huh? Doesn't it? Microcuck IGN shill?

Josiah Torres
>can't look vertically >shit-tier music >boring aesthetics >jewish protagonist
They really ought to just backport features from later Forge iterations.
Jonathan Flores
Wrong on every point.
Jaxson Young
I am
Dominic Turner
WE STILL DONE HAVE A DATE?
Chase Morales
Lol that's fucking hilarious. How did they get the spartans to be so small?
Jaxon Murphy
Reminder that Reach launched with Forge while it didn't with Halo 5 for consoles. Reminder that Reach today, a game at least 8 years old, is going to launch incomplete on PC because for some reason PC's can't handle a game made in two thousand and fucking eleven. What a 343/microshit apologist cuck you are.
Carter Barnes
>wrong on every point >implying doomkyke isnt canonivally a literal jew guess again faggot
Gabriel Hughes
That last point is probably my biggest problem. I never got sick at foundry even after hundreds of variations in custom game. Forge world on the other hand I got sick of it within 4 months.
It's actually a visual trick: the TV is just an open window into a massive room where the other players are bounce padding and dashing through the air.
James Miller
thanks
>lostboy.exe is this the installer?
Justin Cook
I hope i can run doom eternal well, Halo would have been something i could put my time into but doom will probably be out before a fucking port of a 9 year old game
Kevin Diaz
That's great, maybe I'll dl 5 again. Shame about the game being 100 gigs
Chase Perez
yeah bro just run it turn off your antivirus if it won't let you run it
Henry Foster
Does it have the entire campaign? Multiplayer?
Grayson Peterson
Look at that godawful weapon bloom. Reach was shit.

some virus or other fuckery. that wasn't in the one I downloaded
Elijah Gray
did you guys also know it also won't have splitscreen?
honestly this is a huge amount of time to wait for a gutted pc port.
Even the HD version of halo 1 took the fucked up lighting of the gearbox port.
Caleb Turner
And its full of Brazilians.
Anthony Ramirez
we already knew this months ago.
Isaac Peterson
If you just want to play customs, just download the Halo 5 Forge which is available for Windows 10

Jeremiah Roberts
>The team's main focus is finishing the main game, after which it will try to get Forge and Theater finalized "as soon as possible", with help from studios Ruffian and Splash Damage. I'm okay with this.
>extremely complex and time consuming Weren't they developed on PC in the first place?
Bentley Torres
No but with the beta beginning on a small scale its likely it will last and expand over the course of 4-6 weeks so we can expect a release in either late July or August depending on what type of bugs they found (so far they labeled several major ones they were aware of before it began which are being addressed).
James Russell
How come nobody is talking about how they announced
- That they would be porting over maps and gametypes from people's OG fileshares in 3, Reach, and Halo 4 (one time only)
- That in line with the new progression system MCC is getting, older games may get brand new content, like new emblems, armor, visor colors, etc
- That they are going to be trying to resoring the shaders and other stuff from the OG version of Halo CE on xbox to MCC, since MCC is using the PC port as of now without those
I cant be mad, if that shit came out geared to controllers it would be a bitch on mouse and keyboard
Camden Sanders
>- That they are going to be trying to resoring the shaders and other stuff from the OG version of Halo CE on xbox to MCC, since MCC is using the PC port as of now without those SAUCE!
i fucking hate you niggers that just parrot that shit around ever since the 'mcc halo 1 is downgraded' video that clearly haven't got the first bloody idea about hce on pc. yes, gearbox broke several multipurpose maps, bumpmap rendering on bsps without dynamic illumination, an entire subsect of a plasma shader and so on. custom edition moved way past that shit years ago.
Austin Morales
Hold up, thats was fucking made with Forge? This entire time, I thought 343 remade it. God damn, that's some good shit
Aaron Gutierrez
343 stated that it was one of the known bugs for the build to randomly crash, as for cause can't help you much
Austin Adams
I wouldn't say all of it, but a great deal of it at least. I think they also got Kornman working on MCC now.
Chase Ramirez
Can you play the campaign on CE? I always assumed it was multiplayer only.
Asher Wood
It leaked as soon as it dropped, nigger. Everyone's played it
Brayden Hughes
What the fuck happened with the Halo CE and 2 PC ports?
Asher Perry
You just need a custom main menu to get the "singleplayer" button, then you can load in the standard campaign maps.
Dylan Collins
They're going by chronological order Reach, CE, 2, 3 and 4
You know I kinda hope they give Halo 5 Forge the same treatment for a good PC port because this shit looks amazing, just imagine what this forge would be capable of with mod support
Alexander Nelson
why would a pc port need split screen
Connor Turner
Actual answer: Yes and no. On a technical point, Reach's was a big improvement. As stated in this thread, getting objects to float and shit was a pain, especially if you wanted a lot of them. Merging also wasn't fun. Reach fixed this. On the flipside, Reach's forge was extremely dull and lifeless. Everything was fucking grey, and the maps were fucking awful for forging. Forgeworld ended up being pretty shitty, being worse than both Foundry and Sandbox, though the landscape was nicer. Halo 5 seems to have the best forge, but I've never actually fiddled with it so I can't give a real opinion on it.
Gavin Thomas
whats forge?
Nathan Hill
How do you boot this?
Adrian Howard
>download goldbergs steam emulator >apply goldbergs steam emulator >run the exe in mcc/binaries/win64
Ayden Brown
I mean when they released, in 2003 and in 2006, how did they fuck that up, I mean the original devs that ported Halo CE and 2 to PC why do they look and play so much worse than their Xbox counterparts?
Oliver Torres
probably because it was a last minute port job along with them having no real interest in PC after two
Jayden Davis
Well the game asks for xbox login. Better not ruin my account with this.
Blake Phillips
Apparently someone posted a pirated version of the insider flight online. Anyone got a link?
As long as Forge limit sizes are increased I'm fine. I know they won't be cause lol consoles. But it'd be great.
Ayden Wilson
...
Parker Allen
It's in the thread user
Liam Powell
it will likely ruin the account you play it on make a new one, all you need is a throwaway email there's two in this very thread dumbo
Connor Martin
Gearbox are the worst PC porters and they must be really fucking cheap to hire if big studios are using them to port games. Just compare 007 Nightfire on console and PC. They're literally retarded.
>Postums: With Halo: Combat Evolved coming after Halo: Reach, a lot of people have been asking about our planned improvements to HCE in order to bring it more in parity to the original Xbox version. Essentially, what we are planning to rework to be more aligned with legacy than the original Gearbox port to PC that is used in MCC.
>Michael Fahrny: We’re not targeting it for the launch on PC, but we are continuing to investigate what we can do to bring CE back to parity of the original Xbox version.
>But, what I can say, is we have dug up some original Xbox devkits that we are looking into utilizing.
>Umm, also we do, well, I don’t want to publish this right now but, but we also have working on so when we’re ready to announce that, we will, but I don’t want to put that in this blog.
>make a new one, all you need is a throwaway email They could ban hardware ID too.
Julian Cook
Thanks, boss
Jacob Taylor
Thanks, I'm dumb. If I play the pirates version, can my main account at all be banned even if I use a throwaway? It's alright if you don't know
Caleb Perez
Forge is the ONE thing that everyone should be able to agree that 5 actually did well (late release aside), yet you still get retards saying that somehow 3's or Reach's is better.
Ryan Campbell
then play on a different machine through a vpn or get a new motherboard
Matthew Perry
if they bean you through ip/hardware id maybe
Ethan Ramirez
WHo cares about map editors and replays, you fucking nigger? I just wanna shoot people's faces as Master Chief. And even if they didn't include it, modders will find a way and probably gonna be better than what 343 comes up with. They're fucking shit.
Asher Morales
Any evidence that they can do this?
Asher Collins
Hope they do the same to Halo 2 as well.
Asher Phillips
no but it's a program running on your computer made by microsoft, using microsoft authentication servers to verify a microsoft account, so the possibility is there the question is more would they put in the effort to do so
Chase Martinez
>literally only have to port it to one OS >literally the OS of the company that owns you >absolutely 0 foresight to maybe think you should get some senior Windows 10 engineers to help the porting process >so fucking scared of fucking up again, you're going to Half Life 3 your game right out of relevancy Only Microsoft, god damn
I'm happy to wait and see if people start screaming about hardware bans, it just seems unlikely. Especially if they are wanting people to buy the game on Steam. Personally I don't give a fuck about xbox accounts because I don't use them.
Parker White
Well that's fine and dandy but some people don't enjoy being thrown on a map that they've never played before. Not knowing where all the spawns are is a bitch.
Ethan Perez
Ah, partially finished games. The TRUE PC gaming experience.
>implying windows 10 engineers have any idea what they are doing >are also porting it to steam and by extension windows 7/8
Logan Carter
>>are also porting it to steam and by extension windows 7/8 oh right, completely forgot about that. But still, holy fuck it's going to be atleast another 3 years for halo 3 at this point.
Jace Barnes
First they mention E-sports and now this. They are fucking it up big time.
