Microsoft owns the rights to halo, email them.

I just want someone to read the paragraph. I was going to make a Halo: CE machinima but when I heard the rumors of Halo 3, I stopped and waited and to this day I wait. It has been 11 months since then...

We all wait patiently.. hoping for news. (:

I guess the closest we get to Halo 3 and Reach is this:

DOESNT THT SPEAK FOR IT SELF HALO 2 AND VISTA PU IT TOGETHER!

  • 09.24.2010 7:32 PM PDT

Halo 3 was released for Xbox 360 EXACTLY three years ago -do you remember? it happened on 25th Semptember 2007- and now, three years after, there isn't even a rumor that it is coming out for PC. =(

I often wonder why HALO 3 has not appeared on the PC. Most of the sourcecode is written. The art is complete. The levels designed.

Even if the single-player campaign was the only component to appear on PC, it would no doubt make enough sales to generate a profit.

(Yes, Piracy is an issue on the PC. But Activision still releases games on the PC, so there *has* to be some money left on the platform).

Plus, this far after release, they would not be stealing XBOX sales.

Thus, I am kind of puzzled as to it's non-appearance. Either A) Microsoft hates money, or B) Microsoft dislikes the idea of the PC as a gaming platform, or C) There are weird legal issues involved with the rights to the sourcecode and game assets I am not aware of.

I know that Microsoft owns the IP to the HALO franchise - does anyone know if this is different to the ownership of the games sourcecode somehow?

Microsoft only ever seems to release PC versions late.

They don't even have the brains to develop the games at the same time, but give PC version 1 or 2 more years + modding support.

Halo 2 Vista - the game which proved how Microsoft hates the PC.

Well, to be fair I think Halo 2 Vista was supposed to be the 'killer app' which would entice gamers over to Vista from XP.

Of course, we know how that story went. They woefully misunderstood the market *and* screwed the pooch on implementation at the same time.

I would agree that Microsoft certainly seems to hate PC gamers though. I'm not convinced they actually *do* hate PC gamers, but their actions indicate that they certainly seem to.

Considering their recent action on PC gaming (Delaying Fable 3 on PC) would only increase sales of the 360 version, giving MS more money, then when Fable 3 PC actually comes out, it will generate less sales for MS, but by then MS would have already had their target amount of money.

Bottom Line is: I don't think MS has given up on PC gaming yet. But they are struggling trying to revive it.

apparently Microsoft wants to lead PC gaming, under the slogan:

Releasing one bad port at a time. >:(

Yep - and I can understand delaying the PC release of multi-platform titles. Financially, it makes enough sense and usually the PC title will benefit from a little extra polish before the release.

The treatment of the HALO and GoW titles puzzles me though.

Even if delayed for a year, each release would no doubt make enough money to cover the cost of converting to a PC game. Even if they do a crap job, it would make financial sense to make the release eventually.

Good News.

After Fable 3, now also Dead Rising 2 comes out both for PC and xbox360 (Dead Rising 1 was a xbox360 exclusive).
Will Halo 3 be the next? =)
I hope so.
