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.

That's a good sign. Releasing while Halo 3 is still news could be a great move.

It's a good sign that Halo 3 PC will be more then likely out by mid 09. Since there looking for someone to do a UI, and port. So it's hopefully not in the not so distant future.

Guys, I might be on to something. Look at the Bungie Jobs section. They're currently looking for a contractor that can port.


The fact that, the job ISNT filled is more disturbing than hopeful
It shows that they DONT want to port it themselves...

Halo 3 has officially become a global phenomenon, garnering more than $300 million in sales in the first week alone. The critically-acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusive is the fastest-selling video game ever and one of the most successful entertainment properties in history
I quoted and underlined, italics, and bold the important info. This is from xbox.com, And to me looks bad for pc gamers.

That's they said with Halo and Halo 2.

Now after some thinking, i suppose we shouldn't be fussing over a game that well... Is not where the PC gaming community should be highly concerned right now, i mean Halo 3 isn't really pushing any boundaries is it? Sure Online Co-op and competitive play, but still Halo 3 is becoming something of the past extremely quickly, not to say it is not popular its just that its just another game, just another cow being milked. What in Halo 3 is really innovative? Seriously, Online Stats tracking has been around for quite a while, and hot spot plotting is easily doable (Grid the map, then record where the kills are), sure its because its all on the console, but then WE the PC community are worried about whether we receive it or not, well of course you would buy it for fun, but then after a while it loses its shine, i mean we all know that their going to make it ridiculously over priced.(Ahem H2V)

Point is, Halo 3 should be of no real concern to PC gamers, just because we want it to play it, if we want a good game with good value, we should really look else where, i would buy Halo 3 if it gets ported, but right now it seems that the gaming market has already moved on (Frontlines anyone?) So many new games making consoles look like crap, of course consoles are more popular, but that doesn't reflect quality. Now buying Halo 3 for a reasonable enhancement and a good price, well yeah of course, but for the price of the consoles? No way.

And we care about this Why? Halo isn't supposed to be invative. It's suppposed to be fun to play with friends and just to have a good time with it. Halo is what a FPS should be, fun. Simple as that, sure other games have better graphics, and better weapons, but really what game would you weather play in your down time. Frontlines fuel of war, or get a group of your friends to together and play halo 3 over live?

And everyone knows that LIVE sucks?
And no thats not what i said, i said that if Halo 3 is ported RIGHT then its worth it, if its just making it playable on PC for an exorbitant price, Just No.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Bur were not talking about the 360, were talking about how a Halo 3 Port to PC should be, not how you are happy to play on your 360, if that makes you happy go and play it, don't bother those who want it on a platform that they can play because the 360 simply isn't worth buying JUST for Halo 3...

Hey i bought halo 2 twice, once for the xbox and once for the PC and in enjoyed even more for the PC becuase didn't have live before I bought it. I still don't live and I always enjoy the game each time I play it. And anyway have cross-platform play is almost a given so Halo 3 for the PC wil already be a buy for me.

Um what? Why would I buy Halo 3 then? you just made my point bro. You're talking about cross platform play, but why would I do that when there are superior games? you can only play whiny jackasses on live so many times before it gets boring.

The point is, to make up for its gratuitous shortcomings it better be a DAMN good port and have more than "crossplatform play omg omg omg". To say otherwise is ignorant. You're obviously bungie's target audience : /

  • 04.05.2008 2:09 PM PDT

Yeah, if it doesn't have cross platfrom play and some othe features I'm more then likely just going to play it on my 360. What i ment by better graphics and guns was that -blam!- that the halo series is fun and great to play and you don't need a huge selection of guns and over the top graphics to enjoy it.

Well yeah, but they also ported the marathon series on to the 360 via XBL arcade. Really hate to burst your bubble, I got really giddy and all that stuff when I read that too.

But think a little more. Bungie and microsoft are now separate companies. M$ owns ALL rights to Halo. *sigh*...

EDIT: So what I'm saying is they might be trying to port some of their older games to the 360, like the one with Soffish, or maybe something to do with the Myth series. *shrugs*...

No I just enjoy playing halo, their's nothing wrong with that. I think halo is the best FPS I've played, CoD4 was great and all but still at the end of the day I would play halo over it. Unless it's halo 2. I play halo just to play it, I don't try to find problems with games, I don't try to con myself into believing that Halo isn't a great series. To me it is and I honselty don't give a -blam!- aobut what you say about it.

Try CS: Source, Half Life, Quake III, and tons of others. I tend to think of myself as a "speed-gamer" because if you can think fast in a game like Unreal or Quake, then you can pwn at almost any console game.

MC ender was last active 4/8/08 and I've think he was backlisted before that, mabey a new one.
And with H2V being, well a bit of a failure (it's fun for one, but still....), who knows if MS will change? They own ALL OF HALO RIGHTS. All Bungie has got it halo wars. MS will not learn, I don't think they care. I just don't think they care. They might release a crap port with LIVE you have to pay for, or look at how unpopular halo 2 vista was and choose not to make it. The PC gamer group isn't too big. Compare this-CoD4 PC, 3000 people, CoD4 Xbox360-MILLIONS.
UT3 pc-1000, PS3 and 360- probably thousands/millions. There is also CD cracks and downloads which will make them loose money. MS is the last group I think would care about this. It'd be nice, but I don't think MS gives a crap about us....
