Subject: Is Halo for comp cross-platform?

Kindly refrain from Frog-Blasting my Ventcore.

I was just wondering if Halo for the comp is cross-platform. For example, if I started a multiplayer match on a PC, could a friend join if he was using the Mac version? I had heard something about this being possible, but haven't found anything to confirm it.

No,Halo PC is not Cross platform to Xbox,Xbox360 or the MAC.Halo PC is just a game for PC users to play.Halo MAC is NOT a cross-platform too.Halo MAC is a game for MAC Users to play though it is like Halo CE you can mod and make custom maps.

-Edit:Final Boss FTW :3

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

It is cross-compatible. Not sure if the latest patch is supported on Mac, though.

EDIT: Apparently, the idiot above me didn't understand the question. lulz. You should really keep your hands off the keyboard if you don't know wtf you're talking about, Johnston.

Well my guess can be right or wrong.And who told you to criticize me I didn't want any.Guesses are guesses,Okay?I was just thinking Halo CE and Halo PC was different from Halo MAC.Because you play Halo:Combat Evolved on the MAC while PC users play Halo:Combat Evolved PC and Halo:CE.Even once a guy told me they made a machinima on Halo MAC and I said were you playing on Halo CE,He said Halo MAC and said it was different and all.Never heard it was Cross-compatible because I don't really want to learn about this.I just want to play the damn game.I'm not in to halo that much.I just want to post suggestion,answers,guesses or even threats (Idk)I play monthly on CE and Halo PC so why are you even constantly bicker and quarrel over one mistake after another.

Well Halo PC is apparently for PC users(duh) and Xbox and whatever the f**k

Wow. I can't believe you're not done yet. Lemme spell it out for ya so you don't look like an idiot next time, Johnstupe.

Halo PC and Halo Mac are cross-compatible.

There. Now you know, so maybe next time when someone asks that question again, you can give them a correct answer instead of looking pants-on-head retarded.

Looks like I touched a nerve. All I did was call you out for spewing crap on a topic you obviously knew nothing about. AGAIN. Nothing new; You do stupidity better and more frequently than anyone else on this board.

I think I'll coin a term for that.

"Johnstonitis" - An ailment which causes a person to repeatedly show stupidity in forum posts based entirely on assumptions and uneducated opinions, resulting in a decrease in the overall value of the thread and a possible spread of misinformation. A severe case of this disease might result in one thinking he has a decent hold on grammatical skills or the English language as a whole, despite providing obvious examples to the contrary within his/her posts, or involve stating opinions, rumors, and uneducated guesses as if they were factual. Maybe also cause one to harbor a delusion of being "kind of like an MLG pro."

Sound about right?

BTW, even playground bullies know that HPC is cross-compatible. :D

If you have Halo: Combat Evolved for Mac, then you need to update it to version 2.0.3 in order to play online with the Windows version of 1.0.8. Trust me on this, I do play Halo almost everyday on my mac.

No, it's not cross-platform, but there is a Halo mac out there somewhere.
It's like $120, though.

Yeah, I mean, gosh. You know I MUST be wrong then. I must be making up the fact I play with my Halo PC using friends all the time on my Macbook Pro. You know what else? Macsoft is also big-time liars like me then. I mean, they even spell out their lies on their product to! LOOK AT THIS HUGE LIE GUISE!


Version 2.0.3:
This update will update the 2.0 and 2.0.2 versions of Halo to 2.0.3. Issues addressed in this update: Mac Universal Binary build is now in sync with PC version 1.08. Server-related crashing security bugs have been addressed. CD-ROM copy protection removed. This update also improves performance for PowerPC based systems and some Intel systems, fixes graphical errors, custom multiplayer game type issues and also allows the program to run properly from a case-sensitive drive.

How is DusK being a prick? I completely agree with him. You do not know what you are talking about, so why do you even bother posting to give people wrong answers?
