Sir Iron Wolf:

With the keyboard and mouse support that is being implemented as well as the optimized UI for those additions, will players be able to customize the controls to their comfort?

Sir Iron Wolf:

When forging what can people expect the experience to be like when they are moving around and editing in the environment? For example will it be like working in slightly simplified industry program like Unity and 3Ds max or more along the lines of Project Spark?

Sir Iron Wolf:

We know that you and some buddies will be able to hop into the same forge game and work together on the PC version and what is made can be exported to the Xbox version. With Xbox and Windows doing more with cross platform play, will people playing on the Xbox be able to join someone forging on the PC? If not, is it something that might happen in the future?

Sir Iron Wolf:

Many of us are grateful and excited that Forge is coming to the PC and if there is something that current forgers wish Forge was able to do is be playable when not connected to the internet, which is something we heard had to be done that way for technical reasons. You can probably see where I'm going with this, will Halo 5: Forge be available if offline?

A Chunk:

Did you know early on in the developmental stage of H5 forge that it would eventually be coming to PC, and if so, did it have any impact on how you setup the control scheme or any other aspects of Forge?

A Chunk:

Do you anticipate any options being exclusive to either the console or PC versions of H5 forge in the future, or will they continue to mimic each other?

A Chunk:

Is it possible in H6 and beyond that Halo's forge mode will take advantage of the greater capabilities of PC's and allow PC forgers to create their own objects and textures, or even that the PC version of forge will move more towards functioning like a traditional PC editing program like Maya, Unity, etc.?

A Chunk:

We know that content created on PC can be published on Xbox One. Is the reverse also true? Will we be able to download content to PC that was originally built on Xbox One?

343:

A Chunk:

Historically, it's not been possible to truly see how a map performs until you load it up in a custom game. With the performance between platforms obviously being different, have any specific measures been taken to allow someone building on PC to gauge how their map will perform on Xbox One (particularly regarding framerate)?

Online tournaments utilize custom games on Xbox as a primary means for players to compete. With the ability to host cross platform custom games, what measures are being taken to separate or identify PC players using mouse and keyboard from those using an Xbox controller?

WARHOLIC:

What are the hardware requirements to run Forge on Windows 10? The Surface Pro 4 has an i7 processor with 2.2 GHz and 16GB Ram, would that be sufficient enough to run the game?

343:

WARHOLIC:

Will forging on PC require an Xbox Live Gold account or will users be able to simply forge while connected to the internet?

343:

WARHOLIC:

What are some of the defining characteristics that make Forging on PC a more efficient or convenient experience than Xbox?

Given To Fly:

Will the forge menu allow for more item choices to be visible than the current set up?

343:

Given To Fly:

Will there be a dimension filter? (typing in a size and receiving a list of all items of the relative size?)

343:

Given To Fly:

Are there going to be more color options for pieces? Perhaps a color wheel to select any?

The custom game browser is an amazing feature that the community has been dreaming of for years. When may we expect to see this feature fully implemented?

343:

It will release on PC and Xbox at the same time later this year.
