Wow, after voting and seeing the results myself, I must say this is pretty bad...

We should definitely see what we can do to bring this thread to Frankie's or Achronos' attention...

EDIT: Ok. yeah this is REALLY bad. this thread was made back when? October? we REALLY need to get a mod's attention on this thread, or anyone who has influence over the Bungie staff...

Well, I've been trying to get everyone to work together and have everyone send a letter a week to the webmaster, asking for a simple link to this forum in the "community" tab. I think everyone gave up except me after the first week. I gave up after the second. The problem is that we don't really collaborate together, because we're too busy fighting one another.

(BTW, I didn't really think this thread would make it to 300 posts, but now that we're here, I think we can go alot further, lol.)

I think the amusing thing would be that under the 'no petitions' rule if you did manage to get someone's attention in that manner the thread'd be locked.

Any news yet from Bungie on Halo 3 Vista? Seems like everything is too quite. I think the gears are moving behind the scenes. Maybe something will sprout up soon...

It's not Halo 3 Vista, it's Halo 3 for Windows 7. And no, not that I've heard of. Although Bungie, I'm telling you right now, I will NOT be buying Halo 3 PC if:
1. It uses Windows Live. Windows Live tried to bring the scam called Xbox Live to the PC, charging outrageous money for services that us PC gamers have never had to pay for or will pay for.
2. There is more than 1 version of the game. I know this was Microsoft's idea, but just make sure Micosoft doesn't make a Halo 3 Standered, Professional, Super Professional, Ultimate, Ultimate Super............
3. It does not include the cross-platform play we were promised with Halo 2 PC

Nobody promised cross-platform play over H2V. Nobody.

Yeah, I don't remember hired gun saying anything about cross-platform. They only promised that for shadowrun.

Btw, I think they promised dirextX10 support, but half-way through, they cut it out.

Also, does anyone know when windows 7 is coming out? I heard a little bit about it, but I never really looked into it.

Face it Bungie wont port it themselves, EVEN THOUGH that now that Halo 3 is done Bungie is practically free to do anything they wont, dont tell me Halo wars etc etc, Halo wars is developing under Ensemble studios and Movie is under WETA and friends, and yes Bungie is still involved, but not completely, so i says either their too lazy or they just dont see the profits >.<

What makes you think Microsoft would even allow for Halo 3 to go the PC? After all, porting games isn't about appeasing a fanbase, it's about getting more sales. When Halo 2 Vista proved to be faulty in that department, what makes you then think that Microsoft will give it a second chance?

That is exactly right. Because Microsoft is all about getting more sales, they would use H3V, or w/e it may actually turn out to be, as a game to promote something else, like maybe Windows 7. Halo 3 should definitely come out on the PC. Perhaps it will be one of the REAL (excluding shadowrun, whcih bombed) first games to actually fuse console and PC gamers together, with cross-platform multiplayer. The bottomline though is that Bungie is for the most part out of the picture, and everything that would be going on, would be by Microsoft, or one of their affiliates.

Hmmph fat chance, if that was the case, Bungie and Microsoft would have developed it on PC in tandem instead of letting the console go first >.<

You're right, I think someone who is well known in our 1337 Maw should confront one of the great mod gods and get them to do something.

PLUS, I for one hope Halo 3 comes out for PC... why? Because every game usually falls back on PC, because PC is one main system, well ... PC. So if you had an xbox for a year and halo 2, thats about 200$? I dont know, a year later the 360 comes out and you buy that and halo 3, thats around 300$? If you get a decent PC, it stays with you for a good amount of time, and usually all games fall back onto PC. :D

Well, what we as a community were just hoping for is recognition.

What I mean by that is, if you look at the community tab on the top of the page, you see a list of links. The forum that represents the entire Halo computer gaming fanbase does not even have a direct link. We are a part of the "Other". I find that troubling, being that Bungie started their company, surviving off of the dollars of computer gamers everywhere, and now we are being tossed aside, and the PC ports kicked under the carpet. When we ask for attention and action, we are not refering to this thread. This thread is just to bring attention to the issue. What we refer to is this lack of care on Bungie's part. All that we request right now is to have a link to these forums, in the community tab, and that the PC games have some Bungie hands-on development. We are being ignored. The main problem is that we are being ignored.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Actually Hired Gun definitely did promise cross platform play for H2. Later on they retracted that and said it wasn't going to happen.

The point is even with all the stuff the PC fanbase does, we dont get jack -blam!- recognition for it, heck do you ever wonder if Frankie even knows what the CMT team is?

Heck Xbox modders get more recognition for crap that is mediocre as opposed to what we could do, i mean Forge, they're giving kudos to people making maps that compared to the maps the PC community Modders come up with is trash, think about it

I would say yes to that Frankie knows what CMT is. I think it was posted by Frankie... Edit : Nevermind, I don't think he did. It's so old, I can't even find it.
