General Heed, I honestly can not agree with you more. But the sad thing is, ignorant a**holes (cough DusK cough)

I stopped right here, when the pot called the kettle black.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Not to sound like a dick, but you could make one using a game engine like UDK.

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 doesn't work like that, kiddo.

-Super High-Res Textures (#1)
-Improved Models (A Bit of Extra Detail on the Suits,Nothing too much though,Because i already love the look of the Suits XD) (#2)
-16xAA,16xAF (#3)
-Uncompressed Audio (#4)
-Native 1080p (#5)


1. Super high resolution textures consumes memory

2. Improved models -- more space on HDD and memory consumption

3. 16x AA and AF -- This > Not many people have a decent enough graphics card to support 16x Anti-Aliasing and Antiscoptric Filtering. This also needs a minimum of 3.2+ GHz with a 512 MB internal CPU cache + 512 to 2048 MB on-card RAM.

4. Uncompressed audio takes up an epic F**K-ton of storage space and while having high-quality sound, you take away from the user the amount of page-file, CPU and RAM usage. Even Halo PC with it being a low-level game takes 100% of my 3.06 GHz @ 1022.42 MB internal cache Celeron D CPU ALONG WITH my 1280x1024 (and higher) @ 2048 MB on-card cache graphics card (by ATi).

5. Most modern day screens are designed higher than 1080p and normally have been configured to use every last one of the pixels so I don't think we'll be having to worry about that.


All-in-all, you need a computer as good as Bungie's. IF you read, even their server PC's have a what? 5-6 PB (PetaByte) storage? That's well beyond what the novice computer user even knows about at the very least. Their CPU's are probable octo-core with each core registering at 15-16 GHz and their on-board RAM cards probably are 1024 to 2048 GB. That's 1 to 2 TB (TeraBytes). Halo 3 will not be on the PC's til' we normal computer whiz's get near the point of Bungie. I estimate this to be....... 2-4 years. Maybe 6 or 8. Don't get your expectations high. And also at the very least it probably costs a s4!t-load of money to convert the game from XBOX to PC format. So again. I would abandon this thread before too many people start bothering Bungie with the useless.

1. It does, but Reach's textures aren't even that special anyways.

2. Crysis had higher quality models and apparently that was possible on my 50 dollar NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO.

3. Then they can turn those settings off.

4. Then they can include a setting to lower sound quality. Apparently high quality sound is possible on other games so I don't see why Halo Reach would be any different.

5. Yes, a lot of modern day screens are designed for above 1080p resolutions (although they're mainly just computer monitors), but most console games render at or below 720p (including Reach), meaning they're stretched to fit that screen resolution. As such, they look blurrier and more jagged. Banjo-Tooie on the XBLA is 1080p and looks much sharper than Halo Reach.

For this whole paragraph, I find it adorable that you think you know what you're talking about. Remind me, if PCs would require those futuristic high specs, how come the game is running on an Xbox 360, the equivalent of a low end PC (and not even by today's standards)? How come it would be so impossible for them to port it to PC but they can get it to run on 360?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, bud. But I highly doubt this will ever happen in this decade. Halo 3 and reach are extremely unlikely to appear on the PC even remotely soon. Theres really nothing to say other than the fact that it will just not happen. Or at least not happen within this decade.

Lol I know, but the reason being is that Microsoft likes to alienate PC gamers, versus the reason being technology-based.

JUMP FEET FIRST INTO HELL!!

H2V was released well into the life cycle of the X360, perhaps Microsoft is waiting to release Halo 3/ODST,(Combo Pack)[Logical to release them in a combo pack btw.] and Halo:Reach on PC during the life cycle of the next Xbox.

I'm almost offended by the level of ignorance on display here. If it's a troll, well played.

Sorry to tell you this, but a tri-core processor @ 3.2GHz and also the ATI Xenos aren't exactly cheap or low-end.

If a Xenos isn't low end then how come my Mid-Level card (Radeon 6870) has more power in it alone than an entire Xbox 360?

Sorry to tell you this, but processors have been out-performing that Xenon for numerous architecture generations, and the Xenos is about as powerful as a Radeon 4870, which is not only considered low-end now, but has been discontinued. Also, the 360 only has half a gig of RAM. Convenient little tidbit to leave out, considering you could buy a 300$ OEM with 4 times that.

The 360 is crap as far as hardware strength. It doesn't hold a candle to any decent gaming rig since its release, and nowadays you can't hurl a brick into Best Buy without hitting some cheap OEM that beats it in terms of raw power.

Really? Cause I was thinking about scrapping my old H3 360 for its parts... Lol.

Yes, I know, I know, it's not possible, blah blah blah. I'd make it work. Also, didn't know the RAM was so low. Good processor, though. At least for me. Though I'm getting a six-core AMD for less than $110.

Does your motherboard support hexcores? And I doubt you'll be able to do anything with the parts from your 360.

You know, just a few years ago (About 4), I thought I could use my 360's graphics card in my computer... -_-'

*Spoiler alert*

He doesn't manage to do anything with his Xbox 360 parts, and the hex core processor doesn't work with his outdated motherboard.

Also, Harry Potter dies but gets brought back to life, Decoy Octupus has been dead since before the fight with Ocelot, Darth Vader is Luke's father, and Halo is a device that wipes out all life in the galaxy.
