Im curious more on the possibilities, obviously we can assume, greatly halo 5 will be on pc, I really hope 343 takes a page from rockstar in this case, because i know people in a certain community already creaming their pants over this, as its obvious that forge would be a seperate platform, this opens the modding community up so much, and the build for halo online and halo 5 cant be that much different, but the one has been closed up to us for so long that this could be fun to tinker with, Non matchmaking Fun

This was exactly what I was wondering as I read it. I starting thinking maybe we will have the poor mans Halo MP. I know I've had some good fun bashing objects over my friends heads while in Forge mode, so at the very least I could have some cheap Slayer cheats playing with them in Forge on the PC. I thought it weird not to bring the multiplayer experience over though. Can't imagine it isn't on the list otherwise who the hell cares it's in 4k other than to bog you down as you build a map. All signs point to MP on PC.

As a side note, for a long time now I have wanted a low resource build of Forge on a handheld device. I would love the full meal deal, and with the power of the latest phones it's totally doable, but even just something that does low poly precision builds would be fun. Then when you get home (or out of bed) you could turn on the Xbone and there is your map in all it's shining glory.

But it's windows 10... Eww

Clearly this Warholic is trying to let us know, custom games and possibly custom game servers will be available on the PC. Its impossible to test anything other than slayer in forge and i doubt they'd put that restriction on us

look i just got windows 10 and i have no complaints thus far, if youare still stuck on xp, get over it, at least its not metro 8

Weve seen this before with halo 2 vista only. microsoft has the right to try and sell their product, the difference here is vista was ****

Windows 10 is a privacy nightmare. I have 8 with a classic shell and everyday recieve a new pop up to "upgrade" to win10 for free. No thanks.

See how they only mention aesthetics and mini games? That should show you what they think of forge. They never think of it as a level design tool, let alone respect the arena maps we make with it.

Just an FYI, if you have automatic updates on or just regularly keep Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 up-to-date, they were updated with basically the same "spyware" and telemetry gathering Windows 10 has in the past year.

I just don't get that at all. Read it again. You can push the maps to xb1. If that isn't map editor for playlists what is?


Oh.. you're fishing warholic for more... carry on..

If you honestly think that you're somehow maintaining your privacy because you're not upgrading to Windows 10, you're delusional. Do you have a smartphone in your hand? That's 10x worse. No one has privacy any more on anything, who cares. It's not like Windows is actively watching you.


Honestly, Windows 10 is the best OS I've ever used. If you're not upgrading to it, you're making a big mistake.

I'm not so much talking about forge coming to Win10, I'm talking about how their language in the post betrays how they really feel about forge. They don't think of it as a level designer, they don't respect the "core" maps we make. All they think of forge is that it's a cool toy for making aesthetic maps and mini games.

Or they just recognize the fact that that type of content is more marketable?

I will agree with you that it's the best OS if we totally ignore the privacy issues.

My phone is about as locked down as it can get considering how sharetastic it wants to be. The real problem is that most apps say you must share immediately but hey you can disable that feature after we grab a snapshot of all your data. Trick is to disable internet before the install. Windows 10 is just as bad. You really have to run around disabling so much **** just to prevent it from data mining your pc. The biggest one is insuring you don't log into your live profile on boot. Your privacy can be had but it's a frickin nightmare.

I swear to god, I was just hardcore dreaming last night that I could forge on a PC, I could FEEL it in my hands...and I opened up this site...

I just immolated myself

I think that really depends on who you ask at 343.

Seriously have been wanting this for years... I wonder if they'll give us the tools to completely create maps like theirs. I wonder if this will bring mods to the table more easily.

Nope. They don't respect the core maps we make. That's all there is to it. Otherwise they'd feature more real maps and we'd have a 4v4 forge playlist by now.

guys windows 10 is fine, almost all of the tracking stuff you can turn off, when it's all turned off about the only thing being sent is basic information of your search queries, everything else stays off. just be aware that some windows 10 updates might turn the privacy stuff back on though.

also, Microsoft have been updating both windows 8 and windows 7 with similar but not as extensive tracking stuff how ever i don't think you have the option to disable it like you do in windows 10.

windows 10's performance and stability is a lot better as well, worth the FREE upgrade IMO.

This is pretty cool!

I have plenty of time to forge as it is, so this won't do much for me. I'm just hoping this will let Chunk forge a little more
