CHOOSE WISELY, WE MAY ONLY HAVE ONE OR THE OTHER!

Alright guys, so this is very important. I noticed that many of you want either Cross-Platform support, or a 100% customizable HEK similar to or better than that of Halo: CE, and some of you want both. So, I have made this thread to see which you guys want more: Cross Platform support or a better HEK.

It has been brought to my attention that many of you want cross-platform support and 100% custom content similar to that which Halo: CE had. Take notice that the odds of us getting both of these are very, very, very low. Why? It is a long and complicated explanation, but here goes...

Well, if you ever played against a modder in a game of Halo 2 for Xbox (custom or matchmaking), then you would notice that they tried to put the scarab gun in some maps, correct? but they couldn't, so what they did was they replaced any weapon on the map (lets just say the magnum(s) on Warlock) with a scarab gun. If someone without a modded Xbox picked up the magnum on warlock, and shot at his foot, then he would die, but it wouldn't show the scarab shot or anything like it. So, basically it's like the player gets killed by the guardians or something of that nature.

Anywho, we're pretty much looking at the same issue for Halo 3 and Halo 3 Vista if (hypothetically speaking) Bungie did make a port of Halo 3 for the PC with everything you guys just asked for.

see thread for reference

Long live the MAW.

Better HEK, no doubt.

Kim is correct, the game would be nothing more than the xbox version without the custom and EFFECTIVE editing kit.

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

Yeah, I could really care less about cross platform. I want me server browser and PC gamers, no matchmacking and whiny children. Just my opinion on match making anyway.

Regardless, it's the custom maps that keep me playing Halo 1, so that definately takes priority IMO.

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.

I want cross-platform play including co-op!

United we stand.

I voted HEK personally.... but as far as custom content goes, I think we'll receive little in the ways of the fully customizable stuffz like we got from Halo: CE EK.

I think Matchmaking is fine, as long as there is an alternative to use server browsing.

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

As long as Hired Gun makes it, I don't care! Those guys are awesome! I hope they PORT all the Halo games! When Halo 8 comes out they should port it! These guys were born to port console games to the PC! And Live, it needs Live of course. And haha if you think you'll play it on XP, silly rabbit, you need DX10. Nevermind that 99% of existing video cards can't really take advantage- that's not the point. DX10 doesn't work on XP, we swear dude. BTW we need to sell more operating systems if we plan to pay all those silly anti-trust fines from those wacky European judges... or we could just cheap out on H3v development like we did for H2v...that seemed to work out ok...

There are too many things wrong with that. Hired Gun sucked at Halo 2 VIsta. They are not awesome. I do not want them to port another Halo game. There will be no Halo 8. They were born to suck ass.

Dat be sarcasm dere!

I would prefer a better EK than cross platform play.

Cross platform play with H3 will never happen because it would most likely involve a massive rewrite of the H3X code to make it work with H3V/7.

Long live the Last Refuge!

Even though I would really like a HEK but i wouldn't use it since i can't figure it out, lol. The only reason I like it so much was for the modded maps. Anyway I'll take cross platform play.

This isn't about being the smart one (Because if it was, you would have at the very least been a Heroic member, since you've been on B.net for more than a year.).

I don't need to prove anything. I am working my ass off to see if we can get the most out of H3Vista.

I wasn't insulting you, it was simple sarcasam commenting on how one here can apparently recognize sarcasm.

And forgot my plurals... ones

And this should be in the suggestion thread but I have it on my mind here so I'll just post. If they intend to give us a few more maps, not only make them good, but make a lot of them. Hired gun was a bunch of garage junkies, not enough to get as many maps as we wanted. (even though had PLENTY of time <.<) So like others have suggested, give it to a large experienced company, and it should have as many maps as can physically be cramped into that Made in China disk.

And a note to ender, any idea if anyone is reading this and possibly taking out suggestions into consideration?

I'd want a better editing and Co-op for PC users only. I cant imagine having to play with all the whiny 8 year olds on 360s. It's not like we don't have them on PCs, but at least PCs take a little more understanding than most 8 year olds have. Sice they were raised on just inserting a disk and pressing colored buttons on a gamepad. I could care less about cross-platform play.

To be Frank, I would have to say no.

I have done everything I possibly could to see if someone with some say over publishing Halo 3 for the PC would step in on this. Microsoft has no forums for its PC-gaming fan-base. The closest thing they have to that is Xbox.com...

I tried posting a thread at Epic's forums, but that post was deleted... Microsoft offered to buy them off but epic basically said "We're worth way more than that." in a nicer tone, and they moved on.

So basically, we are preacher's without an audience.
