Crossplay. That's the kicker for everything. If crossplay was enabled, it'd be great but there'd be such a serious divide in skill just because it's so much easier to aim and play for PC players.

I agree, keyboard and mouse is stupid-easy compared to holding a controller.

Yeah, I built my first gaming rig a few years back and tried to play BF4. I wasn't used to keyboard and mouse so I grabbed my Xbone controller and got absolutely wrecked in every server.TheLegendary117 wrote:Right?!?!

Unless it were to have cross play, like Halo Wars 2TheLegendary117 wrote:I think it would be split.

Yeah but crossplay would divide the fan base even more because the skill level would be vastly different. A PC gamer vs console gamer in Halo 3. It'd be like watching a professional gamer play against someone who is playing for the first time.AnubisTheDeath wrote:Unless it had cross play, like Halo Wars 2TheLegendary117 wrote:I think it would be split.

If they pushed it to pc and allowed mods on non match made systems I'm sure the community would come up with something similar to what every Bethesda release gets, an "Unofficial Patch" that fixes 90% of the ugs and makes the game manageable.OneTruePantaloo wrote:The game barely works for the XBOX and you want them to try and port it?! But seriously it would be awesome if they could get a PC version, its not likely to happen though considering... well, you know.
Why not wait for the patch instead?Horror is OG wrote:Also i want to add since the MCC has been re-released for xbox 1 X doesnt that mean technicaly they just voided the whole "exlusives come to xbox play anywhere" ? so where is the windows version 343
Yes, but many people just moved on from Halo especially because of either MCC or Halo 5. Halo is in a weird cultural place right now. Also, PC keeps communities alive. Half-Life is a good proof of this. It would hurt, yes, but I wonder how much...SII SPARTAN XXX wrote:Halo is Xbox big seller they won't ever put it on PC it would hurt Xbox sales.
If it was Xbox Play Anywhere, then any sale on Xbox would technically count as a purchase on PC. So, theoretically, it wouldn't damage sales at all, or possibly improve them.SilentRebel38 wrote:Why not wait for the patch instead?Horror is OG wrote:Also i want to add since the MCC has been re-released for xbox 1 X doesnt that mean technicaly they just voided the whole "exlusives come to xbox play anywhere" ? so where is the windows version 343Yes, but many people just moved on from Halo especially because of either MCC or Halo 5.

343 said they would like to expand Halo to the Steam market, so it might still damage Xbox sales.Delta5931 wrote:If it was Xbox Play Anywhere, then any sale on Xbox would technically count as a purchase on PC.

If it wasn't, then it might hurt a little more, but not much. PC gamers despise Win 10 Store.
Guess we'll find out when Halo 6 drops.
Damage to Xbox sales wouldn't be the big deal, it'd be the rift in the player base. Players would be torn between Xbox and PC. Even if, by some miracle, crossplay was allowed between Xbox and PC, the skill gap would be monumental.SilentRebel38 wrote:343 said they would like to expand Halo to the Steam market, so it might still damage Xbox sales.Delta5931 wrote:If it was Xbox Play Anywhere, then any sale on Xbox would technically count as a purchase on PC.

Well, the Halo community on PC is still very much alive. Putting Halo on Steam wouldn't be bad for total sales, as it would likely attract new customers who might not have bit otherwise.SilentRebel38 wrote:343 said they would like to expand Halo to the Steam market, so it might still damage Xbox sales.Delta5931 wrote:If it was Xbox Play Anywhere, then any sale on Xbox would technically count as a purchase on PC.
