Subject: Reach Please come to PC! [How it could work]

Well I just wrote this post on another section of the forum, and I liked the way it sounded, so I'm going to paste it here :b. Basically it's a way to make Reach work as a cross-platform game, so it could be played on the 360 and PC. Read before you flame, please :)

It would have Fully customizable maps and map editors (like in Custom Edition.)

Also cross-platform capabilities, with the option to play Cross-Platform (possibly a "Cross-Platform" Playlist) where people playing on the 360 can play people on the PC. Especially good in the fact that I can finally shut up my friends who think they could beat me on my computer playing them with their 360's :)

The "Cross-Platform" Playlist would be the only way to play PC vs 360, other than Custom Games, of course. Thus eliminating the people who know PC kids would dominate, and others who are afraid of aimbotters (which are, sadly inevitable, unless there are no 3rd party devices aloud to be running along with the game on PC)

Not allowing third party software to run with the game might help a little, but it would annoy people trying to record. Yet the porters could always allow Fraps and Gamecam to be used, or seeing as how we'd have Theater; enable 3rd party apps only to run when in Theater (allowing people to record there, or with Bungie Pro we could always save the vids and let Bungie render 'em :D.)

Just a few quick things that could make the game work. Address more issues and I may have an idea to get past it.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I doubt they would release a PC Reach before a PC Halo 3...
