I hope Halo 3 PC gets a decent FOV and more options.

People have made hacks for halo 2's FOV. Some guy on halomods made one named "S1r 0WNs A L0t FOV HACK", and yes, it does work with all the latest H2 updates.

I'm mainly a console player, but I own Halo:CE for the online multiplayer. What frustrates me about Halo 3 is Bungie's fascist view of how weapons should perform. Let us modify weapons as a gametype feature. We can change gravity, shield strength, and damage, but not weapon behavior.


what do you mean their "behavior", like how fast they shoot?

I know my nickname is absolutely stupid. Consider it a sin of my youth...

I'd love to play Halo 3 now on my PC...would be the right moment for a release now - especially the fact that Games for Windows Live is absolutely free now would make the game a lot more enjoyable ;-)

Woah. That is pretty cool

Yay, very nice :-)

So there's new hope again...although it was clear that H3 definitely would come out for PC, the question that remains is "WHEN".

Being cross platform multiplayer and being able to play with people on the xbox 360 would be awesome.

Two days ago there was that banner in the games downloadsection of Microsoft Download Center - but now it's gone, probabyl they removed it....only the text is left

I made a screenshot how it looked before they removed the banner

Could have beend a mistake of a graphicdesigner of Microsoft, maybe it was a joke, or it really was a little note ;-)

Nice job finding that, germanhalofanboy. I'll post it in the topic-post.

That just seems like a mistake...really.

And I really don't know if it'll come out good. If MS makes it, they probaly won't give a -blam!-, and will release another crappy port. And if it does come out, I bet it'll be poorly optomized...

And H3 is probaly gonna have LIVE, so it probaly won't have support for XP either...

And sorry if I spelled "proboly, prabaly, or probably" wrong, I don't have my spell checker on internet explorer.

The Microsoft Game Studios site seems pretty empty...

Well, Microsoft already said short time after the Xbox360 release of Halo 3, that they're thinking about a port for pc, but this time they want to do everything right and not to repeat the mistake they did with Halo 2...they want to make it better - at least they said that...so let's hope again. I mean, almost one year ago Halo 3 was released...I don't want to wait another year for the confirming of a H3 port, they really should effort now...time is money and I'm tired of waiting for something that should happen, but nobody confirmed it.

well...look at the success of Halo 1 PC..Like Sawnose said a couple weeks ago..over 96000 people still logging on to play that game. I believe they should make the gameplay more like H1

I'm sure, porting Halo 3 to PC is really worth it....like CV Steel said, lots of players still log on to play Halo 1...and the port of it wasn't pretty good too!

Microsoft and Bungie should have been working on a 360 and a pc release at the same time. I would like to think, that as a vista user, Microsoft would have given me, and others like me, as much incentive to buy and use my new OS as they would a 360 user to keep their 360 (in terms of games)!
Great mistake MS, I would have done it in a different way, seems like you'll never learn it, how a consumer is thinking. Don't know what the people of MS imagined when they released H2 for Vista exclusive, such a long time after they released it for Xbox and without any real graphics improvements and bad ported too.

Since I would never own a 360 and a pc (for gaming) at the same time, I think there is a large PC only market for games that doesn't like waiting a two years for a game that will be out of date by the time it reaches the pc.

They should have ported Halo 3 much earlier, that would have been worth it, I'm sure many more people would have bought Vista, instead of porting Halo 2 for Vista only, what a stupid idea....omg. (and I don't want MS to port it, when Windows 7 is going to be released, like they did with Halo 2 for Vista, that won't work...believe me MS!!!)

I really, really wanted to take part in the halo launch - imagine how cool it would have been playing together with the 360 users from the first day - , but it seems, as PC gamers, MS rates us as second class - and that really pisses me off!!! Some might say, "get a games console, they're for games, pc isn't" - but I think they're wrong, since anyone with Vista is likely to be into pc games, as Vista demands the kind of hardware that only gamers would usually invest in.

I can't tell you how much I want Halo 3 for pc, I finally want to know how the story ends - and I want to play the great multiplayer mode together with other pc gamers AND 360 users ;-)
I think, waiting another year for the H3 port or maybe just a confirmation will kill me...I mean, they didn't even confirm it yet....how long do we have to wait!?!
In one year the game is an oldie again, like the Halo 2 port was....they really, really should effort and hurry up!!!!

Gaming Systems:
Intel Core i7 720QM (4 cores, 8 threads)
4Gb DDR3-1333mhz
1Gb AMD Radeon HD 4650
Windows 7 64bit

Xbox 360 w/ 20Gb HDD (2008 edition) & XBL Gold.

I love the way people say "PC Gamers will never pay for online functionality", and yet millions upon millions of us (well not me) pay up to £11 ($20) per month on MMO games. Which is roughtly...ooh...three times the price of Live. That's just to PLAY the game at all lol XP

Oh and everyone can stop whinging now anyway, MS have made ALL MP on Windows Live completely free. You won't get a Gold account (so don't expect to go on the 360 and get it free there too), but accounts no longer matter on the PC basically.

way to go mr.obvious. well I have to agree with the link that shaveridan found of what ever the -blam!- your name is that most MS rumors end up being true remember the gears of war pc rumors??? I think MS is trying to turn around their GFW live they made it free and are working on a new marketplace for GFW live and I believe they need a game to sell that. I cant think of a better game to do that then halo 3.

Everyone check the first couple lines of text. It is rather important, I feel.

  • 08.15.2008 12:10 PM PDT

Like I said, as long as Halo 3 PC [I refuse to call it "Halo 3 Vista"] is developed by a professional studio, rather than a bunch of mediocre code-monkeys that climb the social food-chain by the water-cooler in some generic high-rise office building [like Halo 2 Vista was], I'll be content.

And if Halo 3 PC doesn't make use [or intentional, unnecessary use] Vista/Windows7.0 technology, I see absolutely no reason to make it run on a proprietary operating system.

I am confident the same thing will not happen as it did with Halo 2 Vista; I will have faith.
