Unable to Download

Previously it said that I owned it even though I never downloaded it, then it gave me an option to manage it but not to install it. I am not sure if it has something to do with my computer or if its an error on microsofts end.

I hope this is the start with more to come.

Halo 5 on Xbox one is fantastic, the only way it could be improved is on PC in 4K, with the option to max the graphics and on an SSD. Also master Chief could use to same treatment, also on halo 1 and 2 removing the old graphics overlay would improve the performance of the games.

Longtime Halo fan, bittersweet about this release

I'd love to give this 5 stars, and I absolutely would, but there are some glaring issues with this game that take away the fun of it for me. First and foremost is the lack of any form of matchmaking or server browser. Instead what I have had to do is scour LFG forums/chatrooms and add countless people to my friend's list so that I can join games. The other thing that bothers me is that chat seems to be limited in some ways. You can't chat (in game..not using the microsoft app chat which sucks in my opinion) with people while waiting for the next game to start, and while that's not a huge deal I think it'd be better to be able to chat to kill time between rounds. Another thing I'd like to see field of view options. Other than that, gameplay-wise I don't really have any big complaints. It's Halo 5 multiplayer, and while it's not quite Halo 3 or Reach, it's fun.

Fun, Bad port

Its a fun game and it was worth the download and had a good time with friends but when it comes to the port it is horrible can hardly web browse when launched and it seems to have a problem with my cpu I have a core i-5 4690k overclocked to 4.5 ghz and a gtx 1070 and I seem to have frame drops to 10 fps at times and multiple crashes and has crashed my pc 3 times by playing this game and gave my friend the blue screen of death though no damage was done to the pc but overall it seemed like they didn't even try to make it a enjoyable experience overall if you have friends and you want to play some games youll have some fun but i wouldnt necessarily suggest downloading it

Great app launcher, could be so much more

I am glad this app exists, because it is a great one-stop app to get Halo news and watch professional Halo matches. It is not perfect, but hopefully this review highlights the areas in which the app succeeds and where improvements could be made. Pros: - I love being able to easily watch HCS matches. I never went out of my way to watch these eSports on Twitch proper or the Halo Channel, so the low-barrier to joining is appreciated. - Easy access to the latest Community Update - Very smooth experience and easy to access installed Halo games on my PC Areas to Improve: - I would love to read the Community Updates within the app itself instead of going through an internet browser. - Integrating a way to see my Halo service record within the app would also be nice - Bringing this app to Xbox One would expand the usefulness of this app. That way I could easily launch Halo: MCC and Halo 5 on my console, and keep up on the latest Halo news while I am gaming!

Great App!

This is a great front-end for the dedicated Halo fan. I miss the days of entering secret codes into Halo Waypoint and getting some cool reward that isn't automatically given to everyone. I hope this can be used to reward the faithful Halo community, while providing more information about everything Halo and serving as a good starting point when I want to play any Halo game or find information about anything Halo-related. When I am in the mood to be immersed in the Halo universe, I want one place to start, whether I want the latest news, to learn more about The Banished, or to kick some alien butt... or butt-like parts!

For what it is , it works great

For a long time my friends and I have been looking for a game to play and practice our shooting one on one or against each other in teams. This is where this game appeals to me and that side of me, dont get it wrong would love to add more players and play custom matches and when the custom browser comes i see more fun to get had. Now to the map creation tools, seems easy enough and is really neat. Optimization wise this game runs smooth in the multiplayer section on everything highest it can go ,but i am waiting on my friends to download to get their experience as their rigs are a little weaker than mine.

Great game.. Needs Better MP!

Glad Halo 5: Forge is on PC. It's a step in the right direction after it became an Exclusive. Forge is loads of fun but 343 really needs to add a server browser as well as dedicated servers. It would also be amazing if the player limit could be pushed from 16 to 32 (MAYBE 64, seeing that PC hardware is considerably faster) Ignoring the MP issues, this game is a lot of fun! Thanks 343 for adding H5:Forge to PC. It's a step in the right direction!

Very good!

I am so glad this is finally on PC. The last time I have ever used forge was in Halo 3 and the tools they give you now are so much better. Heck, even the graphics are so much better than I remember. One thing I would suggest would that there be a windowed option. EDIT: Yep, it has windowed mode. Putting this to 5 stars now. Well, maybe I do have one more suggestion. A proper quit option on the main menu would be great. That way if you're using a controller and the game is fullscreen, you can quit easily.
