I don't trust them. And I wouldn't be surprised to see even Halo come to PC.

They could say " it's never coming to PC" but they dont...So what am i supposed to think ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Wouldn't make much sense to port it to PC.

But then again, Minecraft is still getting support on PS consoles... I understand that Minecraft needs to be on PC, but why PS?

Well, duh... Porting Halo 5 to PC wouldn't make too mch sense, specially since the recent Halo games didn't get ported!

You're obviously wrong. There's no way you could have come to that accurate conclusion. 

xD I see 4 possibilities:

1. My powers of deduction are extraordinary, perhaps even rivaling Sherlock Holmes. 

2. My intelligence and deductive powers aren't exceptional, but rather there are alot of people on the internet who possess below average intelligence.

3. It was all just wishful thinking on the part of PC gamers.

4. People were looking for anything they could find to downplay Xbox One after it's success this Holiday season, so their delusional minds stuck upon the wording of that beta description, and they decided to run with it to downplay Halo 5's system selling capabilties next year.

Somehow I doubt it's the first option, my IQ is above average but nowhere near Holmesian levels. I suspect it was a combination of possibilities 2-4, some were PC gamers who were being wishful thinkers, some were people who were unable to examine all of the facts, and some were people looking for news to downplay Xbox One. Here are 3 things I've learned; never underestimate the stupidity of others on the internet; people will believe any lie or rumor either because they wish it were true or fear that it is; people are always looking for news to downplay rival consoles, Xbox in particular.

I never knew that platforms = games. In fact I would wager most people think platforms = platforms. I guess you're used to Microsoft's wierd and usually awful PR but this wasn't a case of people being biased or stupid. Kind of strange how you immediately insult anyone who might have been confused. I can understand why people might have thought this might be a timed exclusive that could come to other platforms. Probably because Microsoft said it was a timed exclusive that could go to other platforms.  It was worded very poorly from Microsoft's part. They made a mistake and corrected it. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I would never think that MS would release Halo 5 on PC so this doesn't come as a surprise that it's a mistake.

But...Are games also considered platforms now? Since when lolz? First time hearing this. Are you people just making things up to confuse me even more =(

It's halo. There's no way ms would share it's supposed golden egg with another "platform".
