Halo 5 on PC?

They haven't announced anything. Who knows, maybe one day?

Probably more likely once Infinite's development starts to wrap up.

I would suspect eventually. Microsoft seems to me moving towards the "game from anywhere" direction so I have a feeling a lot of games are going to be across all Microsoft platforms. Which I worry about hackers ruining it for console gamers since you can hack and mod from PC so easily.

I have a feeling they'll have a good anti-cheat, and if they do, hacking shouldn't be a huge problem. There will definitely be cheaters, but since the game won't be free and probably won't be insanely cheap so any cheater can just pay $20 and start hacking on a new acct, I don't think it'll be too bad. Same goes for modders, but I think most modding will be positive and only allowed on certain servers.

Now if the game was F2P or like $10, then yeah, cheating would probably bring about the game's demise, kind of like what's happening with Apex Legends/CSGO, both very popular games, and both free, and both overrun with cheaters.

I would say not at all. Halo 5 currently isnt something that's being thought about when it comes to MCC. Maybe one day in the future it will but that's the distant future. 343's focus right now is on Halo Infinite and MCC for now.

I definitely support this game going to PC as well but I don't think it should be included with the MCC because its not a Legacy game like Halo 4 and before from the Xbox 360 and before. Probably a separate application of Halo 5 should be created, released on Steam and on the Microsoft Store with play anywhere on the xbox one. But you never know and 343 could maybe include it in the MCC if they want to break the Legacy title rule.

Another reason 343 should probably delay Halo: Infinite is having to do with the story leading up to game. I think 343 may need to delay Halo: Infinite now since they are porting over Halo MCC to PC and for PC players to not understand what is going on (without looking at Halo 5 walkthroughs online or getting an Xbox to play the game), they will have no understanding what will happen when they enter playing Infinite. I "suppose" they could create an animated short film (if they want to be cheap about this) of the events of Halo 5 (other companies have done this sort of thing before with previous sequels of other game franchises leading up to a new game on a new platform), but I think 343 should not go that route and work on porting the game over instead (because it will be well worth doing!) if they are having to release Infinite alongside the next xbox (I don't see the reason why they should have to make this happen like this from a market point of view).

I hope 343 can retain a separate legacy team to work on past halo games to port them over to other systems in the future and not just a one time thing working on MCC.

Well if MCC is coming to PC, it could be possible Halo 5 will come to PC too someday, but maybe not as a MCC DLC.

I'm gonna be honest, I do hope that they do bring it to PC. With a controller it makes Halo 5 UNBEARABLE even though it is a great game. Plus, it would be pretty fun to play it before Infinite comes out.

I really hope it does so I can play war zone and multiplayer.

By the years end, it may well be the only/last ever halo console only title. Let that sink in, I hope 343i take an eternity to port it across to pc.

Probably not at all but halo 5 forge is on pc so i guess that's the closest.
