For those who are forging, there is no FoV slider, but there is a FoV filter that helps a bit, these screens were taken in the same position

Apparently it was only supposed to go up for people on a 'whitelist'. Tom French saying others would be banned. I think it would be such a boneheaded decision to ban people who have downloaded it through legal means. I mean it is up for a lot of people to download. Why risk negativity when you release it a day or two early? It is free. Not like you're missing out on sales etc.
So I might get banned then? :(

Frankie pls no

Dropped it down on eden and ran around for a bit and it looks pretty good with that fov. Unfortunately it messes with the ADS on most weapons.

Nice. I'm really looking forward to this. I hope they'll consider bringing the other Halo games after Halo 2 to PC. I've always been one of those people that quite enjoys the campaigns.
 
Alright finally got downsampling working. My 980ti is running this at Ultra 4k, rock solid 60fps

Here's 1 screen for now. Image quality is a huge night and day difference from the Xbone when downsampling

What the fuckis with these devs putting FPS games on PC without a FoV slider? Bethesda especially, absolutely ridiculous.

Well it is a forge tool for free. I agree though FoV sliders needed especially as H5 FoV very limited. Maybe in due time. Remember it hasn't even officially come out yet.

That is beautiful. Can't wait for Scorpio to launch and then having the ability to have Halo 6 utilize that much power with the PC port. Halo will return to glorious eye candy. They got the gameplay and design down. Now time to fine tune and turn up the polish. Cant wait for 4K/30fps campaign and possibly 1440p/60fps multiplayer or whatever they decide.

Lol what the hell? My PC was so screwed that the auto updater flat out gave up and never detected the anniversary update.
 
Why is the FoV so low in those video's? I am getting headaches already the weapons take half the screen up..

Halo has always had shit FoV.

There's no way they'd go back to 30fps if they already had 60 on the One.

Never automatically downloaded the Anniversary update for me and a bunch of other people either. Just manually downloading it using the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant worked, though.

60fps was near useless in campaign and also created a few more issues. I say campaign usually eye candy, don't mind a drop to 30fpa for greater visual fidelity. Keep MP locked 60fps. Just saying. That is something they could try and do.

Also this should assuage fears about a possible ban. Seems Tom didn't know it was available for download to public.

They seem to have taken it down.

You realise one of the reasons every one thinks Halo 5 feels so good to play is because 60fps right? Less input latency and smoother visuals = a better experience all round.

They'll probably go 60fps with dynamic scaling from 1080p to 4k.
 
As a long time Halo fan dear god this is a dream come true. To see Halo with such good image quality THANK YOU 343 for finally making this happen!!

Some more 4k downsampled shots
