Hopefully there is a PR about this soon, seems like not a lot of people know about it or keep on assuming it's the content browser
Hopefully. I'm also going to assume it will be part of the October update but that's just a guessTheir big livestream is this week for all things Forge for PC and the Anvils Legacy update so it'll likely be announced during that
Yup, which makes the PC release being free insanewait.... so i can play on peoples custom maps solo or in a party from a server browser showcasing user made maps? i dont need a full party to play? ON PC???
Yup, which makes the PC release being free insane
Testing bed for future games on PCThere has to be a downside to it.. i dont believe it!!
Yes, a join-in-progress custom games browser is currently in development for Halo 5: Forge (Win10) and Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One) and is planned for release in a future content update,
Is there a discord set up for Halo 5 Forge on PC for Gaffers? I'm assuming that's the only way to get custom games going as of now.
Right here https://discord.gg/4ZZ9A
Well, it is custom games. It should support join in progress.PC Gamer actually picked up the comments by Frank. http://www.pcgamer.com/halo-5-forge-will-have-a-custom-game-browser-on-pc/
It had this to say from a 343 Spokesperson:
Join-in-progress you say?
Well, it is custom games. It should support join in progress.
it sounds like halo 5 is taking a bizarre shape on pc. why they dont just port the whole thing idk.
If true, Halo's back, and Halo 5's king.
Legitimately a megaton. Have wanted this for a decade.

Why's it so big? Legit question - I'm not in "the fps scene"
To be clear, it's a new feature that will provide similar functionality to a custom game browser, extending the existing file browser. It's something we've wanted to build for years and managed to get done as part of our ongoing support for the game.
We'll be talking in more detail as we near release, but yeah it's pretty megaton for Halo and will be a great addition on both PC and console.
I've finally triggered the Win 10 anniversary update manually in anticipation for this alone. Hopefully the Forge Win 10 release will still be in people's mind when the custom game browser gets added some time later.
Until then, using discord/reddit/etc will have to do for finding people to play with, it'll require some effort, though.
I've read Josh Holmes' comment on the topic in the teambeyond forums:
Emphasis by the author. What does he mean by "similar functionality to a custom game browser"? If you can't filter current public custom games by game mode, player count, map etc, it's not really something one would call a custom game browser. And if it has this functionality, then why formulate it in this way and not just call it a custom game browser?
Or is he referring to Xbox Live's upcoming "Looking for Group" feature? That would "just" give us an ingame ability of finding strangers that currently want to play Halo as well. Which beats looking for them on discord/reddit for sure, but it couldn't exactly be described as a custom game browser (or functioning similar to one), really.
Edit: The unnamed 343i spokesperson clearly talked about a "join-in-progress custom games browser", I missed that bit and it appears to be the latest information. Well, we'll have to wait and see, I guess.
Anyways, Halo 5 multiplayer for PC, I'm on board.
Conner fought the good fight, and every battle was worth it. Those of us who never gave up hope, who never stopped posting about a CGB, this day is for us.There was a member here long ago that fought and campaigned for custom game browsing and dedicated servers in the Halo series every day until he was banned, looks like he was right all along.

I predict this will come in an October update on the anniversary of the release date: Oct 27.
I mean it only makes too much sense
Yes but the server browser isn't coming till after the initial release. So probably October like he saidI thought halo for pc was releasing in September?
What's left for Halo 6?
Hopefully they'll simply build upon this foundation rather than starting from scratch.
Yes but the server browser isn't coming till after the initial release. So probably October like he said
Think so? I was expecting longer, and for a bomba like this, I was thinking like next year lol.Yes but the server browser isn't coming till after the initial release. So probably October like he said
May I think? It's just forge and customs (though with a server browser that's amazing now)Wait wait...when was Halo 5 confirmed to be coming out for PC??
Also server browser aka region filters.......YAAHS!
I think they've been working on this for awhile along with the content browser (remember prefabs were discovered super early too)Think so? I was expecting longer, and for a bomba like this, I was thinking like next year lol.
