H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

I do already know as well that PC gamers are abandoned by only MS and Bungie. UT3-out for PS3, 360, and PC. PS3 and PC- get free maps and patches. 360-NOTHING
Bioshock-PC and 360, PC better graphics and both have LE.
CoD4- PS3,360,PC- PC has mods and up to 64 people! Unlike consoles. We also get custom maps. 360 and PS3 get map pack though! The CoD4 staff says they are trying to find a way for pc, but they want to charge us money, and it will cost more for the PC! They didn't abandon us, just had difficulty because of differences.
Quake 4- Graphics can go to "ultra high" on PC, PC gets custom maps :D.
Crysis- PC only, might go on 360, but will loose it's specialty because of toned down graphics.
Eragon- Kinda crappy on everything, but is the same I guess.
So I guess PC isn't completely abandoned.

Its not whose abandoned us, it's the outrageous claim that the PC is not a viable gaming platform, for god sakes you condescending idiot advocates of that grotesque hunk of scrap plastic and metal you call a console, it is a bloody PC albeit an older, MUCH older generation PC which was phased out long ago and trying to market it again is in my opinion and i believe could be the opinion of many others that the Xbox was just M$ trying to milk the cow that was.
To their credit that would be because M$'s products are beginning to fail and they saw that, to their credit they madea bold decision take some crap PCs and slap a shiny new caseand name on them!
Oh my F ucking god!
We made a pC everyone can enjoy!
Oops! Were putting PC gaming in a bad light!
Oh who cares! Were making cash! Those suckers can rot in the gutters for all we care!

=========================================================
End rant
=========================================================
Back to the topic, may i so boldly suggest that it is announced and expedite? Just because your Bungie, doesn't mean you have to turn your back on the roots of your success, i suppose original Mac MC is just a mere memory to you now?
I suppose Oni, a very interesting game i might add, is just
another foot note on your history?
I suppose Marathon was just something you guys wave around like a banner because you want to tac on the sentiment for yourselves and try to convince yourselves that the PCs are not where you want to be?
New buddy the truth is here : I'd sooner eat s hit and die than letting my self buy an inferior product just so i can play a game which has spawned such monstrosities as this :

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.

Bungie could make up for the problems with Halo 1 and 2 for PC by porting Halo 3 themselves, including cross-platform play and on-line co-op.

Remember that they didn't have a PC programmer?
Well thats a clear indication that they DON'T want to port it themselves...

  • 04.15.2008 6:16 PM PDT

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

Well, I don't have anything against Bungie, I simply don't understand why they can make such a great game (H3) for Xbox360, but not for PC. Damn, they should effort... I don't think it would be a good idea to let Epic port Halo 3, I think it will lose its "flair", the typical Halo feeling...Gearbox, hmmm...don't know, maybe they could do it right, too, but I still prefer Bungie.

Google wins. Anyways, on-topic : I would agree with the person above Enders.

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.


And that's your life to live, your cash to give. If you dig Halo that's fine - Halo 1 was AMAZING in my humble opinion. Maybe cause it' popped my game cherry in '01 but I still believe that Halo 1 on the xbox was an achievement.
And then the broke Halo 2 with glitches and balance problems and a "so so" story that, yes, fleshed out the covenant but left us hanging for YEARS and finished with the arbiter... wtf.

And Halo 3 was not as good as one... too short for my taste and Multiplayer was not quite as good. But definitely an 8/10 on my list.

Is it better than TF2? Cod4? Sins of a Solar Empire? Counterstrike? UT? Audiosurf? Halflife? Fear? Battlefield? the Sims? Civilization? Supreme Commander? Homeworld?

The short answer is that a lot of those games are simple better man. And you haven't expereinced them: I can already tell you that. And don't tell me you played the xbox ports.. doesn't count my man.

Oh guys, I'm so tired of waiting...everytime I think about H3, I realize that the game was released only half a year ago...but it's like I'm waiting for ages...Bungie, better very soon than in 2 years, when H3 is old again and has bad graphics! It's similar to Blizzard, over 10 years we waited for the sequel of Starcraft and nobody, really nobody of Blizzard said anything about it because they can keep a secret...but anyway everyone knew, that the 2nd part of it will be definitely released...and now, already the 3rd part of Diablo is going to be announced pretty sure. BUT, with Blizzard you can be sure, that these games will come, unlike Bungie. We know nothing, we just hope...and nobody of Bungie, Microsoft or someone else says anything, and not for the reason they want to keep it secret...that sucks! I think they really don't care about us poor pc users...everything's just for making profit, despicable!
[irony on] Slowly I don't belive anymore that Halo 3 ever will come out on pc, you just hear nothing about it [irony off] ...they made 300 million dollars with H3 in the first days after the release, a selling record, great...what uses to me? Microsoft said, they want to make everything right with the port of H3, fine, but I want to see sth. of their progress...probably they still didn't start with coding for a port...I'm so angry about lots of developers who do such stupid things for example like porting H2 just for Vista ? I'm wondering how they can be so naive, sometimes I think they don't really think about the things they do...I would have released H3 for pc at the same time they released it for xbox360, I think they would have made much more profit with this "strategy", sure, they sold a few more xbox360s on this way, but I'm sure they would have got more money, if they had released it also for pc...but you never know - probably they never know, too...Bungie and all the other developers should finally note the wishes of the customers, but they don't...they have no idea what the people want, really sad!

It could be like halo custom edition, where you can mod maps, put AI, make your own stuff. and also with a space map with drivable giant frigates with cannons, and you can board them.

What a vivid imagination...

Hate to say it, but that sounds far more plausible with Halo CE than it ever will with H3Vista...

Guys, I hate to say it, but it looks like we may not have much of an audience to appeal our case to...

I believe he just told us to do that. Port Halo 3 to the PC ourselves... of course, doing so would be illegal...

I remembered hearing about a team in Dallas that ported Halo 2 to the PC, but it wasn't quite... "legit". a lot of it was source code copy/pasta.

I meant something more along the lines of "remake Halo 3 on the H2V engine" but I certainly wont stop you. Personally if I had my heart set on running Halo 3 on my computer I would emulate an Xbox 360, has more bang for the buck, so to speak.

  • 05.03.2008 5:40 PM PDT

I was thinking that maybe something similar to the Xbox 360 dashboard would be included in Halo 3. Something to manage all your games where the disc status thing is. (The thing that says what game is inserted in the tray). A drop down menu with all your games. Oh, and include all the map pack maps as well as a marketplace for the PC Live.

aside from the feeling that this thread needs a bump (hasn't been replied to in a month.) I couldn't help but notice how very little detail was given to Halo 2 Vista on Wikipedia.

that would be because it has no relevance to anyone, really. How many people play a night? even the socialist nightmare that is wikipedia recognizes that.

At night, there only 3 full matches at the MAXIMUM. Otherwise, theres one full match and people hosted servers with gold accounts. So at the maximum, 50 people online at ngiht.

Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

There are those who said This day would never come. What have they to say now?
You got that from halo 2, on gravemind.
It is when you are hunting truth, and he broadcasts that exact message as drones fly through the hallway ahead.

I would like a good port with more video options (so it can run on lower-spec pc's), no paid LIVE (why would i pay $50 a year for 1 game?), and a better editing kit (one that u dont have to buy 3ds max for and is more like the halo custom edition editing kit.).

I also want a racism policy. Advanced server stuff. I just got lots of racism from my last game of Halo 2 Vista.
