I have Halo 2 for the pc and Halo 3 for the xbox, but I thought it would be great to make Halo 3 on the computer. What do you guys think?

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.

Hard to say. Halo PC was a smash sucess (as far as I know), but Halo 2 for Windows Vista appears to have been a flop. Which result will Microsoft bank on when it comes to Halo 3?

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

I think not. Halo 2 Vista proved that Bungie (or anyone else) cannot successfully port a 360 game to PC. There's just no way to reconcile the differences between console and PC gaming.

If H3PC was made exactly like H3 for Xbox, it'd be a very crappy, restrictive port, since console-style matchmaking doesn't mesh at all with PCs. If H3PC was made with a traditional server-browser style, it'd have a separate population from matchmaking and die a slow, painful death (like H2V).

Either way, it's just not possible or feasible to make a PC port of H3. Too many technical and networking obstacles, for very little return in terms of new players buying a game which has already been out on 360 for over 2 years.

I don't see them making a Halo 3 PC mainly bc it would take a pretty good PC to be able to run the game how it should be ran. If they do by chance make it, I hope they don't limit it to Vista OS only.

You'd need a very, very powerful computer to run it.
Just look at the hardware of the 360 on Wikipedia.

That would be amazing, but I really don't think it will happen... it would be very slow on my computer, and the online will be even slower.

I think that MS will watch how Win 7 does. If they have fixed all the problems that Vista had, then they may consider H3 for PC. H2 may run better on Win 7. We can always hope! I am going to jump right over Vista from XP to Win 7, in about a year or two.
