"From stacking up grenades beneath an unsuspecting Warthog to multiplayer film-making, the Halo sandbox has at all times been fertile soil for tens of millions of moments and memories created for, and with the aid of, the fans."
I'm pretty certain that "really enjoying the video game" is principal to the Halo adventure. but right here's what's happening.
Microsoft is bringing the Halo 5 edition of the Forge map editor to windows 10 "later this yr." Forge debuted with Halo three returned in 2007, nevertheless it turned into updated enormously in ultimate 12 months's Halo 5 liberate on Xbox One.
The home windows 10 edition of the Forge editor—awkwardly named Forge – Halo 5: Guardians edition for windows 10 as a result of, neatly, Microsoft—can be free. and it will consist of some aspects so that it will simplest be obtainable on windows 10. These encompass:
Keyboard and mouse aid. In a dramatic stream to 1980's technology, "Forgers" (sigh, sure, those who use Forge) can use a mouse and keyboard to design degrees, permitting a brand new level of precision that should still influence in some pleasing designs.

As you may be in a position to discover—i know, i tried to keep it refined—I consider that Microsoft's choice to retain its Halo franchise locked to its Xbox consoles wrong. And is of direction tied at once to the out-of-date need for console exclusives. however the application huge has been dancing round this coverage for months, with several excessive-profile Xbox are living games transport on both Xbox One and home windows, some even providing go-play capabilities.
Microsoft, tear down that wall. cease teasing your fans and just bring Halo 5—andHalo: The master Chief assortment for that count—to home windows 10 now. You comprehend, whereas there are still some americans who really care.
