It seems Microsoft are still testing the waters.Ģ004's Halo 2 was the last proper Halo game released on PC (much later, in 2007), though Microsoft did chuck the unremarkable top-down shooter spin-off Spartan Assault our way in 2013. Though as the weird, cut-down, singleplayer-only version of Forza 6 shows, part of a game running on PC doesn't mean we'll get the full thing. Microsoft had teased that a PC release was kinda sorta a possibility maybe, and this certainly makes it seem a lot more likely. This does also mean that Halo 5 is basically on PC now. Here, for an example, is an Xbone Forge minigame where one player controls a giant death robot and everyone else tries to destroy it: I am certainly in favour of big fun free sandboxes.
It'll let folks save Forge creations for people on Xbox One to play too. Only we'll be allowed to use a mouse and keyboard (to build, at least, and presumably to play as well?). Multiple players can join in at once to build and test (play!) creations, so we may not have Halo 5 but we will have a game where we can kinda play a bit of Halo 5. It also has a little logic to tweak, so creative folks can make minigames and things. So! Forge isn't a from-scratch level editor, more a sandbox where players can drop objects and drag them around and combine them to build things, then fiddle with lighting and weather and all that. Good? Cool? This might also bring us closer to seeing proper Halo games on PC again. Players can build levels collaboratively online, but also create and play fancier things like minigames. As I understand it (and I may be wrong!), Forge is a bit like a simpler Garry's Mod. However, they have announced that the Xbox One shooter's sandbox mode Forge is coming as a free standalone to PC via Windows 10, under the rubbish name Forge – Halo 5: Guardians Edition. Microsoft have not announced that Halo 5 is coming to PC.
