Have you been enjoying everything that Halo 5: Forge has to offer on Windows 10? I know I’ve been enjoying some stunning Halo action in 4K recently, and it’s certainly a big tease for a future Halo release on PC! However, like any game, it’s far from perfect and there’s another huge update coming on March 7th that will address a wide range of issues. One of the most important is the mouse acceleration issues, which should soon be resolved. There’s also some improvements to rendering performance in Forge, which is always a good thing to see.
Check you the full changelog below to see what you can expect. The game will auto-update on the 7th, and then you’re ready to rock!
