Halo 3 doesn't say "Only on Xbox 360" anymore
Either they were lazy and removed it, or they ARE making H3PC, Only one hope though. MAKE IT GOOD!!! This is just Wild speculation, but hey a guy can dream.

Since Halo 3:ODST has still the writing "Only on Xbox 360" at the top, I think you are are right.

Thank you for the news ;-)

He just likes Halo 2 PC, maybe you dont. People have their own opinins. Also, maybe you are the trolls.

And even then, there are FAR worse games than H2PC. LIke Shadowrun or MW2.

And if you really hate halo 2 PC then why are you guys still talking about it? Sure, you guys might have been here "longer than me" and know more about games than we players do, but we arent stupid. At least we have fun with it. You might not and that's your opinion.

Since this thread is now mostly just a H2 PC fans VS Halo PC fans flamewar in a forum where mods dont usually go, and where there are loads of "VALVE ROX!!11!1" people, lets attempt to get back on track (even though it probably wont get back, and even though this post will be taken as flamebait).

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I know that. But its when he tried to pass off his obvious inexperience and lack of credibility that he crossed the line.

H3PC needs input from PC gamers if it's coming to the PC. Not console gamers pretending to be PC gamers.

At least MW2 was good for consoles. Halo 2 wasn't good on any platform.

That idea of fun (incredibly nerfed gameplay tailored to players inexperienced in the FPS genre being treated as a competitive platform)) should have stayed on consoles. Bringing it to PC destroyed what could have been a great PC game. That's why no good PC player will pick it up, which is why the population's so low, which is probably why MS all but entirely pulled the plug for support.

I'll reiterate: We want a good PC game. If H3PC is a possibility, it needs support from people that know what a good PC game is. If all you've played is Halo, Halo 2, and Crysis, and you've never touched a PC game made by Valve, Epic, or Id, you don't know what makes a good FPS.

Oh, I know it's not. If H3PC is a possibility, I definitely wanna keep the thread on track. Of course, that can be a little hard when poser players come in here and try to claim they know better than real PC gamers.

I enjoy playing ALL of the Halo games, the platform doesn't matter. :D

I'm pretty sure some would fall into the asshat category but still really think other people value their opinion.

I'm just glad I don't limit myself to enjoying games from 4 different game devs.


And even then, there are FAR worse games than H2PC. LIke Shadowrun or MW2.

I haven't played MW2 but I completely agree about Shadowrun.

I agree, but its amazing what assumptions some people make...

If all you've played is Halo, Halo 2, and Crysis, and you've never touched a PC game made by Valve, Epic, or Id, you don't know what makes a good FPS.

I hope halo 3 PC comes and has less issues than H1PC and H2V, only problem is, it would be harder to port due to the fact the 360 has a PowerPC based cpu instead of a x86 cpu like the original Xbox.


This is a good point. I'm sure that considering its still built on DirectX its possible.

I'm sure considering how bad H2V really went for them, it would be of high priority to get H3PC right.

ok, enough with the mass quotes.

I'll start anew.

Halo 3 has a good engine, and nice graphics, it has many game modes,
and Bungie has fixed the netcoding to support Online co-op.

which is pretty handy if anyone were to make custom campaign maps, or multiplayer maps,
with ai, scripted objects, custom cutscenes etc.

maybe we could have mods, where Infection gametype lives up to its name.

Flood Infection
AI flood spores & carriers and "human" players, as soon as you're dead or flood spore grabs you, you change, unless an ally shoots it of you.. XD (just like in campaign)

VIP = Prophet, and Brutes = Guards. ;)

Juggernaut = Hunter etc...

recreate Halo 1's Campaign to Halo 3 PC.

There are many more fun things that could be done with Halo 3 PC.
add to it, and no negatives needed.

It should also have serverside mods like AMX mod or voting mods or other mods. Then, halo 3 PC would be more fun.

Map voting would be a good idea, but I could only hope the game doesn't end up full of little kids like the Xbox 360 version. Can you imagine 15 12-year-olds arguing during the map vote?

JUMP FEET FIRST INTO HELL!!

Wow! That really sounds epic dude. I'm loving the $h!T out of Halo 3 on the Xbox 360, but i would also love to see it hit the pc. The main reason i want it to be on pc is the graphical upgrade. Now i'm one of those people who think Halo 3 is one SICK @SS LOOKING GAME! But on pc with AA,AF, and real resolutions the game would be one very impressive looking game. Not to mention that it is much easier to play games in 3D on the pc. Weather it be with Nvidias 3D set up or just anaglyph 3D on any monitor you can get your hands on 3D if you know what you are looking for. I know for a fact Halo 3 running in 1680x1050 in 3D would bring tears to my eyes.Did i forget to mention that Halo 3 might have a chance to be running in DX11. PICTURE THAT RIGHT THERE!

He mentioned Crysis to point out that Halo 3's graphics really aren't anything special.

Ugh. Usually, I'd be all up for something like that, but with all the problems with gameplay that H3 has on the 360... Ugh.

Maybe if they were to remove the fail aspects of gameplay from the game (the ones I mentioned in another H3 thread) cross-platform might be good. But as the gameplay stands now, that would be an awful idea.

They must do cross-platform,
but think of it as an add-on,
ou should be able to "see" an indication* there are 360 gamers in your party, and you shall take steps to remove them, or customize your Browser or matchmaking searches,
a party restricted to only PC gamers would suffice.

Console users can miss out on the custom content exclusive to PC gamers.
Custom Cutscenes would be great.

*Like the ones that showed a noob with no controller, or failed to load map.

Ok and your point is? I already know what level crysis is on but why would you bring it up? Are other PC titles not beautiful in there own right anymore? I know for a fact Halo 3 on PC would be epic looking in its own right.

Halo 3 isn't even made in HD format. I believe it's in a 480P, which is sad for a Next Gen game. Also Just saying it wont be that amazing...really was never that amazing to start with

This.

They did a cheap upscaling technique for players using higher def TVs in order to preserve HDR (which is an odd excuse, considering how many 360 titles use HDR and full HD resolutions, i.e. Gears 2). The HUD's in HD, which is nice, but the graphics look like ass. Jaggies everywhere.

But hey, if the PC version were to not use that upscaling technique and give us support for real resolutions, it would actually look kinda sexy. It wouldn't be UT3 or Crysis, but it'd still look nice.

ugh, sub-HD is horrible, and 360 hardware is full of crap.
Bungie said:
it was either HDR or anti-aliasing, not both.
A PC Gamer says:
We r betta cuz we can has both. :P

I also get annoyed when Bungie shows a render of their new games, and the finished product looks crap.

example1: Bungie's 2006 Halo 3 Announcement Trailer.
The Visor's realtime reflection.

some items were taken out due to crappyness of 360 hardware.
we can has for PC?
Vortex - Equipment, could possibly be a blackhole, absorbing enemies and projectiles.

Smoke Grenade - FPS killer, lol.

and other Halo 3 Deleted content please.

Halo 3's Campaign should be updated to reflect Halo 3 ODST's because they've given more permutations to select enemies, like the Buggers.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

The only way such a port could be successful is if it was done in house by Bungie, but most likely it would be done by MGS, it would be buggy, poorly programmed, and most likely only to be developed for vista or windows 7. There is really nothing that seems at all appealing in a Halo 3 port, id love to see it happen, but i just know it would be a catastrophic failure.

Right there's where I've gotta disagree with you. I really don't think Bungie has any clue how to make a good PC game. Gearbox does, and made a pretty good game, despite all of MS's mandates for the final product.

If Gearbox did it again, and didn't have any dumb restrictions, I think we'd see a pretty appealing port.
