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.

Woot, 100th GET.

Anyway, I like the ideas I've seen so far in this thread. I wonder if there could be any way whatsoever to somehow persuade somebody from Bungie to actually take a look at this. After all, as soon as they're finished with Halo 3: ODST they should have a lot of free time, right?

Right?

At the rate this port is going (if one even exists yet), Windows 7 will be the main OS (and for good reason, due to the fact that it is like a less system intensive version of Vista, which makes W7 awesome).

Heres hoping too that Halo 3 PC is a flagship game for the recently announced DX11.

So long as it supports DX9 too.

Around 77% of HPC players are XP users, and although I expect that'll decrease somewhat, it'll still probably be a pretty big chunk of players to alienate.

Has anybody noticed that Gearbox has a few secret projects coming? One is rumored to be Halo 4, but I say that it is Halo 3 PC. I mean, Halo 4?! Come on, that is not going to happen for a while, if ever, and it will be done by Bungie. Keep your eyes open for news coming from Gearbox for Halo 3 PC.

Only if they do a bad job of porting, so by going on past experiences, you're probably right.

you don't need a incredible graphic card to play Halo 3 on Vista.I hope it is Vista.And you could just set the graphics to LOW,it doesn't need to lag as much.I play Halo 2 Vista but set it to a low quality.800 x 600 screen resolution,56hz,and the quality set to LOW which makes the game still High Quality.Halo 3 has alot of colors and yeah.If you have a 32-bit Vista set the options very low like me if it comes out.

If you can read this, you are looking at my signature

I wonder how Halo 3 PC would score on the "Windows experience thingy" i.e: what will be minimum and optimal score.

win 7 has upgraded the test from 0-5,9 to 0-7,9in possible score.

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.

While Googling I found old text referencing a release date for Halo 3 PC.

http://www.node357.ca/img/halo3pc.jpg

The text in the actual site referenced is only about GoW 2 for 360, but it's something to chew on with all the speculations.

I believe Bungie announced back in '07 that there would be no Halo 4. Halo 3: ODST is a non-standalone expansion. Guess its the end of the gravy train, sorry mate.
But back on topic, I've also heard of Gearbox having "secret" projects going on. Might be true, might be bull-blam!-. Who knows?

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.

Although i think it should include an Rcon system like Halo PC did so the host or admin can keep tabs on his own game.Posted by: Lat3ksi
IAL had lots of very good suggestions and I would be happy even if they just added a server lobby, ability to spectate and a demo recorder ...Oh yeah, it's already there.

Balancing the overall gameplay and custom maps, with item modifications would be nice, though.

I found this... its a rumor of course, but if Micro$oft really has Halo 3 PC listed as a "Microsoft Game Studios' listings" then there's a chance we may see Halo 3 PC this year... if it is an announcement they are holding back... then I would expect this at E3 2009.

Just my 2 cents :P

Microsoft NEEDS to read this before they start porting Halo 3. It outlines why H2V failed so hard.

The Last One: Ohshi! I love that editorial :]

I do believe I already have that in either my 2nd or 3rd "<reserved>" replies.

Good stuff.

I play video games, and I like halo.

Halo 3's File Share and Community features are still one-of-a-kind services for 360 and PC. If they do port it (slight chance) then a freaking awesome feature would be to have custom maps as well as variants to forge and stuff like that. And just do everything that the developers of H2V did not do. Because honestly I tried so hard to enjoy that game, but it looks worse than the original xbox version and it plays like I personally went in to their offices and programmed the whole thing myself. Which would make it suck. Which it does. I love halo, but i wish they would combine Halo 2 PC's netcode with Halo 1 PC's not-suckiness. Sorry if that seems harsh, but man does that game really infuriate me

I'm not being an advocate to any side, but: Can you cite this?

Edit: And in imo, I consider this thread more theoretical, than anything it's. It's more of an "IF Halo 3 came out for the PC" thread - a thread where we can talk about how H2V was so flucked-up, and how we want Halo 3 (if it ever came out) to be different.

That's all. Nobody's complaining, or screaming here. Just giving our 0.02 dollars :]
