There simply isn't a demand large enough for Halo on PC.

Halo was awesome on PC! In fact, I could play halo 1 in accounting class on free days and the first 10 minutes of class! Aw, the memories.

I honestly think it's bubkous to the fact that there isn't a demand for a Halo game on PC. I'm alwasys hearing people complain that they would want a new PC Halo game. I guarantee you you could find thousands of PC gamers who would want a new Halo PC game.

Bungie itself has never developed a Halo game for the PC. Halo PC was developed by Gearbox, and Halo 2 for Vista was developed by a Microsoft internal team.

Just saying... you're probably asking the wrong people, especially since we're not part of Microsoft anymore.

It has not been confirmed by Microsoft, but some suggest it will be done for the fact that several months ago, Microsoft sent out marketing emails to Games for Windows subscribers and in that email there was a curious picture showing all the games users would be able to download onto their PC from the Games of Windows site. In that picture, many users noticed that Halo 3 was listed as one of the games that users would be able to download from the service. This might suggest we might see Halo 3 coming to the PC; which might make sense seeing how they have a history of leaking information like this through marketing campaigns on accident...

I think it's just because M$ is a biatch and wants more people to have to buy a 360 in order to play halo. The reason they waited so long to come out with them for the PC was because they were reaching the point where not that many people were buying the games for console anymore, so they would make more $ by porting them to pc.

Alright I'll wait. I enjoyed Halo 3 but I was wanting for Reach to come out first :)

  • 06.07.2009 8:21 AM PDT

several reasons actually

1. Bungie never did those ports
2. gearbox who did do them is more so oriented in original games now
3. microsoft doesn't really care about pc any--> no time during conference, haven't ported a game since gears 1 to the pc that was original suppose to be only on xbox--push to xbox gaming
4. halo2 sold like crap

I'm honestly shocked that there have only been 2 Halo Games on PC out of the 3 released and total of 5 that they're are going to be. I just wish Bungie would port at least Halo 3 to PC or one of the new games like reach. It would tie in better because most PC players have played the first game of halo and would recognize the story more. I guarantee and new Halo PC game would do well on the PC. I would like some explanation for this as well as a couple reasons for starters.

They managed to break the chain that would tie Halo 1 PC and Halo 3 PC together in that they've lost potential players, but I'm pretty sure that if they did a good job of a Halo 3 port that it'd sell quite nicely.

I can't remember how many copies Halo 1 PC has sold, but it stood at over 2,000,000 when Halo 2 was released for the Xbox, and Halo 1 on the Xbox was at 5,000,000.

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

Bungie is an Xbox studio. They have been since around 2000. They don't make PC games. Trust me, H3 will definitely come out for the PC because M$ owns the rights and will try to make money off of it. But Bungie surely won't be doing the code that's for sure.

Bungie isn't a PC-developing team. They can be the publisher at times, but they mostly/only develop games for the Xbox 360 (used to be Xbox).

Like the user above me posted, MicroSoft will probably have Halo 3 for the PC as they want more money, etc.

This is an old account iDarkWint3r is my new Bungie.net user.

You know why Bungie was involved with the PC games.Because Bungie gave all the Various Things in the Game itself in Halo 2 Xbox and Halo 1 Xbox.Yes,I know that this controversy is quite complex,But Bungie is Credited for the Uses of the Various things of the Xbox game itself.Bungie were the ones who created Halo,before all the media started to make Halo comics and Various Ads of How to get cheats and glitches and also,Recon armor or some -blam!-.If Bungie hadn't release the game,Microsoft wouldn't be able to make the port.In fact,There won't be Halo 1 PC either.We all know they aren't involved with the programming but they did all the character sprites which are animated fully,Also, Halo 2 Vista has great graphics if you have a Vista that has high NVIDA Graphic cards and such.The Halo Community,Fansites or the Web has been Globally Established because the Fan base Comparison of the game.Rant all you want but it won't help much.This is my opinion which reached the certain standpoint that Bungie is part of the group.However They did not program or develop the PC port.That is all I am going to say.Go ahead and hate on me or rant it's trivial so why bother anyway.

You must be stoned! or living under a rock.

Halo 3 made millions, and lots of people also bought xbox 360's and Xbox live Gold accounts during Christmas 2008. Xbox live even got overloaded due to the influx of people.

Surely Microsoft knows potential for PC.

Bungie should give us their PC version of Halo 3.

Let there be CHAOS!

I have reasons to believe Halo 3 will be coming to PC fairly soon.

1. They just announced the 4th Halo game (as usual, coming out 3 years after the last one) and the PC version of the previous game always seems to come out within a year of the release of the next game.
2. With Halo 2, they released exclusive maps for the Xbox version just before it was ported. I think they are doing the same thing for Halo 3 now with the ODST expansion. I don't think ODST or its content will be coming to PC (at least not yet) so with those 3 maps that come with it being Xbox exclusive, everything seems to fall into place.

I expect Halo 3 Vista (or Halo 3 7? lol) to come out sometime early-mid next year. Just my 2 cents.

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.

And who knows, it might actually rock. You know, unlike Halo 2 Vista.

My two cents.

lol, I'm still having fun with Halo CE. I have been playing it for three years and its still fun. And I wouldnt care if there was Halo 3 for PC because my computer couldnt run Halo 2 very well on lowest settings. Now if I was to build a gaming computer...

That's not Halo 3 PC. That's Halo 3 Xbox that was modded by Bungie for the specific purpose of making those videos.

I agree with Quix, still playing Halo CE and loving every minute of it. I'd never be able to run H3 on PC, and I don't want to. I only wish it were possible to patch HCE's netcode to make lead less pronounced, but oh well...wishful thinking.
