Halo 5: Forge is now running on Linux with its own dedicated multiplayer server, no Microsoft services required. (I am not in any way affiliated with halo)

People will claim Halo 5 'failed'
When in reality data shows that it was the fastest selling game at the time, had the highest player retention since 3 with a much smaller console install base and having far more competition in the FPS console market
5 was a huge success

Breakout 3.0 👀,
- Revive? ✅
- Classic Breakout Loadout? ✅
- Classic Breakout Rules? ✅
- Bot Backfilling if your teammate rage quits? ✅
Note: Bots will likely not stay here, and rules for 3.0 might be adapted to make it more fun!
#Halo5Reforged
You know that massive ship on the main menu screen? This is it, spawned in forge. Imagine making it playable 👀. And here’s some more tiny Spartans for you.
Just to give a little insight. I’ve been working on this port for over a year now. There’s a reason why @H5Reforged and myself are taking long. “Playable” and “stable while playing” are two different things. And plus what’s a good port without extra features 😎
