No, sounds pretty accurate to me. Alex Seropian took the rest of the people in Bungie after Halo 1's release with a soul to start Wideload Studios.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Nope. There's a reason that you need an Xbox console to play the Xbox version.


Any bets on how long til Obi Wan gets in here? :p

Pfft. This guy's not even worth it. You'd have to be one hell of an asshat to believe that an Xbox hard drive and a USB slot is going to allow you to play Xbox games on a PC.

Run along little troll, you'll find no amusement here.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Yeah no doubt. Shenanigans.

Wikipedia, the most reliable source of information, states that Bungie is...

Yeah most reliable, so reliable little asshats like this can put information in?! I'm not thinking so.

the creators have betrayed us!
halo 3 is decent...well, i can't say its boring.
halo 2 is sh1t
halo 2 vista is like sh1t mixed with horse c um
halo 1 is really old but still really fun and faithful
halo wars will probably suck since it will probably be like CC3 tiberium wars for 360.....terrible controls/gameplay.

-blam!- MICRO$UCK! Bring peace to the console/mac/pc games, bungie! Please give equal priviliges to all of your gamers, instead of just catering to every complaint of the console gamer. I doubt bungie will because they are just too damn greedy sometimes.


Ensemble is making that game so it is good. They spent 6 months on controls so they are near perfection.

Which is complete BS because there is no way to improve the control scheme they have, which is practically no different from what EA implemented in LOTR:BFME II or C&C3. Do you honestly think it can match the mouse and keyboard?

Ensemble has worked on great games, but nothing they do will prevent the controls from being mediocre.

Not saying you haven't... but anyone who has not played C&C 3 or LOTR on the 360 needs to. It will make you feel warm inside about how awesome the PC is, and it will make you realize that unfortunately, Halo wars is going to be a watered down, stupidly controlling RTS that can't hold a candle to what Halogen was going to be.

You guys need to step back and visit the real world for a few minutes. As I have said in another post (and have been quoted here) Bungie is primarily an Xbox company. There is nothing wrong, nothing sinister or inherently bad with that. It is what it is. As an Xbox company their primary focus is on Xbox games and they have been very successful with that approach. I applaud them.

People here are badmouthing Bungie because they don’t develop games for the PC platform which is sort of like badmouthing Mercedes Benz for not manufacturing BMW’s. I have no doubt that the people at Bungie care about the PC gamers but due to the resources available and their focus on the Xbox platform – the platform they have been successful with - they are unable to dedicate resources to develop for the PC in conjunction with their Xbox development. They do after all have to run a business, pay salaries and ultimately generate the revenue required to create new and better games.

The reality of the situation is that the PC market for Bungie games will always be behind because Bungie is primarily an Xbox company. Sure it would be nice, and as a PC gamer I would like it, if Bungie’s Halo 3 game came out for the PC but to start painting Bungie as a careless ogre with vitriolic outbursts and verisimilitudinous proclamations of character deigns the real fact that Bungie makes no bones about their being an Xbox company and with that fact there are limitations; like not developing for the PC. You may not like that fact, but getting worked up about it is a waste of energy and insultig them for it shows less care and empathy than you are attributing them as (not)having.

I think Bungie Might care about its PC fanbase if it was a good choice for profit to make more new and better games but since it is not a good idea for profits they don't really put any efforts towards the PC people.

I know this was a little late but I never put my word in this topic yet.

I just wanted to check up on this poll. So far 26 say Bungie doesn't care about the PC games, 0 say yes, 0 say abstain. I think I proved my point.


Bungie cared... at one point. But I'd give up too if it required kissing the ass of such a high mantanaince fanbase. Jesus, you all are a bunch of crybabies.

"were"? Correction: You come here to flame and tell us about how ever noob who posts here is inferior to you. We, on the other hand, are a superior forum when it comes to the inteligence of the posts. I see you hop in around all the time, actually.

Please cease fire! The English language is unarmed!

There are three types of people in the Halo 3 forum. There's the people that played Halo 2 a lot and now hate Halo 3 cause they suck at anything that takes skill, there's the people that play Halo 3 and see that it's a better game than Halo 2, and then there are stupid noobs. A lot of stupid noobs.

If you think Halo PC is filled with noobs, you'll probibly have something close to a heart attack if you play Halo 2 Xbox.

I can feel you guys' pain. But it's a fact that you can buy Halo for PC low price and run it in your dad's crappy computer. For alot of those kids, this is their first ever online FPS game. Just like it was for me, I played Doom when I was very small bot not online though.

If anyone took it the wrong way,ill apologize now, and what i meant by my post is that Xbox players whine more than PC players do and testament to that is the constant bickering on another forum. I'm just offended people think im not trying to make a constructive argument, but i wrote that post in anger thank you very much.

I agree that Bungie itself has not abandoned us, but us Mac users would really like to see H2 for the Mac, just because Apple makes better comps is no reason to denie thier loyal fanbase from having more multiplayer fun (seriously you all know that H1's campaigne was way more fun than H2's but H2's multi is more fun... sometimes).

Oh look, a Mac fanboi. How cute. Tell me, has there ever been a definitive study by a neutral third party comparing the performance of Macs and PC's? Do games just plain run better on a Mac than on a PC? I'm sure the handful of titles created for the Mac run just the same on a similar computer. But please, don't let me deny you the chance to make a baseless, uninformed comeback. Since you seem to believe that Microsoft is jealous of Apple for making a "better" computer, would you care to elaborate on your little hypothesis?. For the enlightened must always wallow in other peoples ignorance before they can truly reach transcendence.

As it stands, I'm still a firm believer that personal preference is the deciding factor in the Mac vs. PC debate. But just because it's your opinion doesn't mean you're correct. You would do well to heed my words young one and refrain from making any more comments on the subject. Lest someone whose not quite as nice as I am comes by and sends you crying to your happy place.
