Subject: Reach PC has a chance to Own MW2PC

If you pay any attention at all to MW2's reviews you'll notice that the PC Version [b]failed/b]with flying colors.
Now, I think among other things this is a place where Reach could really shine. I know the possibility is minute this far into the process, but even for a release of H3PC. Releasing a Halo game for the PC right now that utilizes things that PC gamers love/need most (Good Anti-Cheat and Dedicated Servers, or the ability to make both Client and dedi's like in HPC and H2v) could give IW a smack in the face, and allow Halo to once again regain the PC market's throne.
It's just a thought, and it wouldn't be difficult to crush them with the amount of fail they incorporated into their PC version.

I think he's only talking about the lack of Dedicated Servers, which they replaced with a Matchmaking System

And if thats the Case
GO BACK TO 1.6

Answer:
No dedicated servers
No Lean (shouldn't be a problem, as Halo doesn't have lean :))
No mod tools
No consoles (No, not your Xbox, a console is used by admins to kick/ban hackers (sadly common in PC games) and annoying kids, among other things)
Ping graphs (PC Gamers are built on using numbers rather than graphs to represent their ping; a 66 is different from a 100; it lets us know where we stand)

Because they took everything that made PC gaming awesome and did away with it.

Namely:
-Mod tools
-Dedicated Servers

And replaced it with matchmaking and an 18 player cap. It's one of the dumbest decisions ever in the history of PC gaming, and will eventually kill the community for the game.

Halo was never on the PC game throne, except fro maybe Halo CE. BUt for the last few years Valve has been the top PC game company, with Half Life, Counter strike, and Left 4 Dead.

And Halo Reach DOES NOT compete with MW2! They are a year apart, did Far Cry 2 compete with MW2 or ODST? no. Did GoW 2 compete with MW2? no.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Will there even be a Halo Reach for computer? This is something we don't know.
