I don't understand why Bungie doesn't just take on some decent Windows developers. They could do Halo 3/ODST in-house and have direct control over the final product. I don't want Halo 3 PC, but a perfect Halo port is deserved after all this crap with the previous versions.

H2V was made under Bungie's control, basically in-house, with a team hired by Microsoft. What you're asking for is a repeat of H2V. When you ask for a "perfect Halo port", you ask for a literal clone of the console version.
343 Industries will take the Halo Flame, hopefully make it for PC.

Yes, Halo is out of Bungie's hands now. Microsoft owns the rights to the series. Bungie was contracted by Microsoft to make Halo: Reach. If we see another Halo game, or a Halo port to the PC, it will come from 343 Industries.

Halo Reach PC über alles!

They might make that new game with activision for pc. But knowing them, it would be $60 and a bad port.


343 owns Halo now, so it is safe from the EVIL (and greedy) clutches of Activision.

I was a huge fan of the first Halo for Xbox, since then I feel the developers realy have torn apart what once was one of the best games of its time.

Moving forward I'd like to see Xbox 360 Controller compatability, splitscreen and co-up on the PC version of Halo 3. Many people these days (myself included) preffer to use PCs over consoles and as such have there computer in the living room which is perfect for playing with all their freinds and family.

Splitscreen and co-op is my favourite part of the game, I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't included and I'm sure there are many of you out there that feel the same way. If you take this feature out you'll be lossing a good deal of support, keep it in and you can count on me and the thousands of other splitscreen enthusiasts! Please, it's not much to ask for. :-D

What we need to ask for is, Halo:Reach for PC.
When Halo:Reach for 360 is out, we go straight to 343 Forums.

Best reason to release Halo:Reach PC, is because someone or a group can remake Halo 3 and ODST campaign, we won't miss out on anything.

Really? Splitscreen on a PC game? Isn't that what LAN is for? And I doubt there are many PC gamers who game on a monitor the size of 40'. Regardless, I think Co-op will be in the game if it was in the original. and would be even more fun teaming up with random people.

Remember Black Mesa: Source? It STILL isn't out and the project began after HL:Source was released... And besides (considering it is a microsoft title,) the chances of them releasing a Mod SDK for halo reach PC is VERY SLIM. And even though I would like to see a Halo 3 with the Halo Reach engine, I doubt it will even make it on the 360 let alone the PC... Don't get too exited..

People in the more populated forums are pathetic. There were more No votes in that thread than Yes ones. Gotta love baseless loyalty to a corporate giant. "Nah, it shouldn't be on PC because Xbox is cool n junk lolol. Oh and PS3 suxorz."

So true about the reach beta forums lol. After posting legit complaints about something, they start bashing me.
"U R GARBAGE you suck we wont miss u lololol."
That's the response to any feedback in the reach beta feedback forum.

pointless, it's better if Halo Reach came out, then we don't have to worry about Halo 3 and ODST campaign.

Xbox 360 supports tessellation, because they use modified DX9.

Fable 3 isn't out yet. But fable 2 was an xbox exclusive.

  • 05.23.2010 6:37 AM PDT

well recently fable 3 was announced for xbox360 and pc and they said they arent gona make fable 2 for pc. Since halo3 is old they might just make halo reach for pc and forget about halo 3.

Halo 3+ODST can be ripped and ported to Halo Reach PC, so that works too.

Unless halo reach PC turns out to be as moddable as H2V.

  • 05.25.2010 6:51 PM PDT

i have a few things to say.

1. 343 industries are making an un-named new game, according to halopedia

2. I really want halo 3 pc

3. New maps and weps like previous are a must.

4.im 99% sure this game will be ported just like the other halo's before it

5. if, wehen, it is made then it should be a pc game, not a console game on pc like H2V

6. H2V was good but it seemed to be lackingt hat x-factor from Halo 1 PC.

7. Halo ODST could easily just be an expansion pack thatm just adds firefight mode and the odst campaign.

8. MOre armour

9. campaign could get a slight adjustment

10. keep good music.

11. try to keep hackers nad modders out

I don't think those supermodders for H1PC are going to ignore a better engine than H1 and H2V.

go back to your console. modders are beneficial to PC games, and hackers can be kicked.

Fable 3 is not simply coming to pc. It is coming out with the writing "Only on Xbox360 & Windows". A logo that I've never seen before. This could mean that Microsoft has completely changed his mind with Xbox360 exclusives and it might mean also that Halo Reach will come out with the same logo.

I have seen that on my Pre-PS3 copy of Bioshock, it is nothing special. =/

The boxart for Halo: Reach has already been released and finalized. The only thing it says on it is "Only on Xbox 360".

Realistically speaking, you're not going to get Halo: Reach on PC yet. Not until Halo 3 is on PC first. True, Fable 3 is getting released on PC while Fable 2 isn't, but that's a different story.

Now if you guys have been keeping up with console sales, the PS3 is starting to catch up and the Xbox 360 has been starting to slow down a lot recently. Microsoft needs these exclusives to remain Xbox 360 exclusives for the time being. That's the only way they can keep the Xbox 360 sales strong until the release of Project Natal.

Perhaps once we're out of this economic recessions and once the Xbox 360 sales are very strong again, then Microsoft may consider porting Halo: 3 and Halo: Reach to the PC. Unfortunately, that's reality. As you may have noticed recently, Microsoft is also starting to lose its exclusives like Bioshock. Therefore, they need to hang on to as many exclusives as possible.

But hey look at the bright side (sort of), now that Bungie has partnered up with Activision (EA would've been a better choice), all future Bungie games will be multi-platform which means PC. Unfortunately this does not apply to the Halo: Series as that is owned by Microsoft now.

And considering the hack/slash job they did with CoD:MW2, I don't call it good news at all.
