They would be ignorant not to make a PC release of Halo Wars, as it is an RTS. They have the potential to make a huge amount of money by doing to. I have a feeling we will be seeing a PC release.
Remember--just because you think it is a good idea, and as right as you are, doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Console-exclusive RTS? Massive fail.

Right, just like the fact that Halo 2 Vista isn't coming out May 8th. :-P
Also, I didn't say they would do it. I just said they would be stupid not to.

Typo in original post: I said doing to, and it should be doing so. Oops.

The reasons that I can think of to sum things up is

1. Halo 2 for the pc, good for people without a xbox

2. Two new maps

3. You can make it brighter, so you can actually now play on multiplayer without using a flashlight
continusly

4. Bungie promisses that the map making process will be easyer to use.

5. Better Graphics

6. Custom emblyms and two colors to have, once again those without xbox.

7. In the end you have the new Windows Vista upgrade.

8. Bridgeing the gap between the two worlds of halo pc and halo ce

9.Custom Content

10. I can now be an elite...i hope.

11. Having a scoring system (if paid for) and rankings for players.

12. Pc clans will hopefully be able to be tracked because of this system.

13. The sword works, and the rocket launcher has a lock-on ability. no more "over use" of vehicales.

14. Destructable scenery will be a new aspect to halo pc gamers...sort of.

15. New weapons and vehicales that will sound, function, and DESTROY ALL THE PEOPLE correctly. in the most
perfect way we might be able to think of.

16. Showing a chance of halo 3 coming to pc as well as the Halo Wars.

And thats all i can think of right now as to why anyone would be excited to have halo 2 for the pc.


The best list so far, Halo wars won't come to computer, It is xbox360 exclusive. Btw, you forgot Live any where, and mouse+keybored the most important things.


Ya but remeber halo 1 and 2 box cover "only for/exclusive xbox" on the top corner. Yet they are on the pc and you can use the 360 controlers on the pc and you can use the keybord and mouse for the xbox. and thank you for complamenting my list

Well, go play it more often.

umm huh?
If i wanted to die of noskill cancer i would play Halo 2 more. Fact: halo 2 is a no-skill game any n00b game. Heres a hint gentlemen- you know autoaim is bad when you're about to kill a guy, the xbox switches targets, and you get raped by two guys who have their shields dropped with no consequences because there is no health bar.

well we'll see if it is stupid. remember our market is harder to cater to- if it is not amazing then people on the PC wont buy it because its Halo(which was stolen from us... my precious). we get more choices and have a higher average IQ then console kidz, so they will blow 60 bucks on a terrible RTS that they cant control because they like spartans. I however, will spend forty bucks on supreme commander and with the money I save I will purchase the legendary edition of Halo 3.
because I am a fanboy- so the pot calls the kettle black ; )

lol thats why I don't. Gears of war, despite having weird hitboxes, never leaves you feeling shafted by what the computer thought you hit.
so am i being a sour grape? yeah. Do I still hate Halo 2 and pity those who like it? absolutely.

Calm down, people. Please, stay on topic.

By the way, sometimes I do feel like I'm getting shafted when I shoot someone in the head with a shotgun and they down me with a lucky active reload from a Lancer.

Heyyo,

Mainly the modifications that are going to come out cause they pretty much said they're porting Halo2 to PC without massive rebalancing of weapons etc.. hope at least there's no button-combo-exploits...

Anywho, Halo2Vista won't be DX10 only but they did say that Halo2Vista will have directx10 optimizations... if there's an actual reliable source where they said the game would be DX10 only, I haven't seen it and I'd like to see a link.

I like Halo 2, but I suck with the controler. Plus H2V will have awsome graphics.

Our market is harder to crater to? Please; how many people do you think will buy Halo 2 Vista, after it was released on Xbox 3 years ago? If there was a reason why it would be harder to cater to PC gamers, it would be because there are less PC gamers than console gamers. Also, to contradict your statement, we have less choices than console owners. According to the basic laws of economics, lower supply = higher demand for those games that are released to PC. Therefore, we would probably be easier to cater to, as there is a smaller selection. In response to the higher IQ's, I would have to agree. But only because PC gamers are, on average, older than console gamers. And if it does come out for PC, the fact that it is Halo (thinking about the huge halo and RTS and Ensemble fanbase) would be an excellent selling point. On that note, here a Q&A session with Phil Spencer of Ensemble. On the topic of controllability, I don't think it will be an issue in this upcoming game. In terms of blowing their money on a "terrible," RTS, to quote you "well we'll see if [that] is stupid." Lastly, since we are using idioms, "you can't judge a book by its cover." Halo wars has the potential to do very well on both PC and 360. But, like you said, we will just have to wait and see if it is a stupid idea not to release it to PC (though it will be ;-)

Now on topic: I'm excited for H2V because I'm getting a bit tired of playing Halo (though I still love it) and some new freshness is desperately wanted.

Cheers.

I dont know. It might be just my imagination but I always felt the PC had more options. Mostly because it has virtually no genre restrictions like the consoles. and since when you make a pc game you dont have to worry about three different systems' compatibility all games for PC are playable on.... well all pc's. to get the whole console experience you need three of em. I have never felt wanting in the PC game market, while on the xbox i have noticed that I always want more content and choice. not to mention lower game prices.
Im not saying people wont buy H2V in fact, despite me not being truly excited, I WILL probably get it once i get a dx10 card/ Vista because Halo 1 is Dying out too fast.

Although it might be best to stick to my roots
i might get a summer job this year... just get a 360... MAW, Will you ever forgive me???
The main thing I will miss is the map editor =/

PC really is the ultimate console, its just that most people are to lazy to upgrade to play games and its just more convienient to use something like the Xbox 360, WII, or PS3
Or maybe they just prefer not to wait three years for a game that they infact have to pay MORE FOR because you need an OS for the game. Also, H3 will be somethign I want to be a part of... not just wishing I was while standing on the side line (Which in fact Bungie sees us as just that)
I have only now started to realize the reprecussions of my soon to be acts... (sililique FTW) The rampant cheaters, and the players who act like they are seven years old... Damn... Torn between two evils... it makes one think... is Vista more worth it than I originaly thought? But then again, I will only play Halo 2 SP once H3 comes out (funny to think of Halo 2 as a second rate game) Usualy I will probably play the games the most in this order (at least the ones in the Halo trilogy) Halo 3 (because from what Bungie boasts... its suposed to be the big daddy of the series) Halo 1 (I have to stick to my roots! Probably on PC also) And THEN Halo 2 (Just because the second part of a Trilogy is often the worst, Usualy they just bridge the beggining and end, although i must admit Bungie did a good job (on the most part) With Halo 2)
But that only represents the halo trilogy, (Why the -blam!- am I telling you people this? maybe im just morning my PC gamer profession being over... Alas poor Yorik, I new him Well!) BioShock will be clost to H3 and Maybe Gears of war (Those will be the best selling games of the decade probably... Atleast H3 and BioShock will be) BioShock because it will be the game that revelutionizes all games to come (Good news for you guys... ITS ON THE PC ALSO!! YOU DON'T NEED VISTA!!! YAY! Oh, and this game team... IS RELEASEING THE PC AND XBOX VERSIONS ON THE SAME DAY so take a hint bungie...) Halo Wars I won't bother to get anytime soon... Hell, these games in and of themselves should be enough to keep my small mind ocupied for at LEAST several months (give or take about 19 lifetimes)

Not that I won't return regularly to play Halo CE, it is a great game. The unlimited content of Games is the best part! But alas... Fate is cruel

True but even in CS Source the percentage of cheaters seemed less than the ones on H2 Xbox. Every single TS game after level 35 for me was hacked pretty much. Why do people think its fun to hack? still haven't figured it out. But at least on the PC you have admins that can kick and ban players from the server forever.
and yeah- netcode might actually be worth the upgrade ; )

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

I cant explain, its kind of the feeling that Bungie or hired gun or microsoft actually felt bad that PC users missed out on Halo 2 and finally gave us a better Halo 2 then they did to those Console Suckers!
