Hate to burst your bubble guys, but it's not happening.
Here's a nice little article; apparently, a Twitter update from Halo Waypoint (that Halo hub thing for XBL) stated the following:
"For the record, Gearbox is NOT working on a Halo title for Microsoft."
So, Gearbox, the guys who ported Halo 1 to PC, aren't making a new Halo game. Suprise, suprise. If Gearbox won't port H3 to PC, who will? Maybe MS Game Studios? Nope, they just formed 343 Industries, a division which will work exclusively on Halo content. And according to their official MS Bio:
343 Industries is the publisher of the blockbuster "Halo" series of videogames and, as part of Microsoft Game Studios, oversees the "Halo" franchise, including novels, comics, licensed collectibles, apparel and more. 343 Industries is home to world-class developers working on future "Halo" projects, including "Halo Legends" and Halo Waypoint, as well as partnering with renowned developers such as Bungie LLC and Robot Entertainment to produce "Halo" games for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.
Note that last part; no mention of the PC or GFWL. XBL and 360 only. So if MSGS isn't working on it, and Gearbox isn't working on it, then who is? Bungie, perhaps? Nope. It's already been announced that Halo: Reach is Bungie's last Halo title, after which they'll be exploring a brand new IP.
So sorry to burst your bubble, guys, but it's not gonna happen. There's no port of Halo 3 coming to PC. Concentrate your efforts on something else, like getting Bungie to fix H2V, or maybe even patch up HPC.
Just because Gearbox isn't making another Halo game doesn't Halo 3 PC won't exist. Gearbox only made Halo 1 for PC. That's it. Halo 2 Vista was ported to PC by a team in Microsoft Game Studios. It's true that 343 Industries was recently formed. But Microsoft Game Studios is huge and they can always put together a small team to make a PC port. just like they did with Halo 2.
