New weapons, maps, attachments, and additional content will all be part of the latest Halo 5 update for PC. The suite is called “Halo 5: Force”, and it lets developers and users create maps and play new levels across Xbox One and Windows 10 platforms. You might be able to notice that the UI in the game has been made for a mouse and keyboard, so that players can quickly adjust settings like look sensitivity.

Apart from accurate map-building and controls on Windows, a content browser and multiplayer matches with up to 16 matches will also be available on the Windows version of Forge Mode.
To keep the loyal players engaged yet again, we have Anvil’s legacy, dropping September 8th, as the latest addition to the legion of maps, weapons and armor.
Forge is about a week away from launching on PC, but we’ve got some of the first gameplay footage you can see right now. New additions to the roster weapons include the Tactical Magnum, as well as Wicked Grasp and Berserker’s Claw, which have been classified as rare and ultra-rare respectively. Skybox Labs helped MS & 343 bring this previously Xbox One exclusive mode to the PC with the full toolset available across both platforms. However, PC is only limited to custom games, so there will be no cross-play between PC and Xbox One. There will be two new maps – Temple (Warzone Assault) and Mercy (Arena). The Wicked Grasp should make it easy to hold on and defend.

“Halo 5” has been launching expansions nearly every month since November 2015. 343 will provide more insight into Anvil’s Legacy and show it off during a live-stream event on September 6. More updates and details on “Halo 5” are expected to follow soon.
