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.

So then back to my first question: Why prefer Servers over Matchmaking? What do PC gamers (i'm clearly not a true PC fps gamer) praise?

Lower ping - If you use the server browser correctly, you'll end up in a game with lower latency than what P2P is possible of achieving. This provides an overall better multiplayer experience. A 30-ping game of TF2 will always feel better than CoD Black Ops' 100-ping average.

Reliability - Dedicated servers are significantly more reliable than P2P. No host means no game-breaking host switching or game ending due to ragequit. The server just works, more than what can be said for P2P which has a slew of game-interrupting problems in comparison.

Community - Servers, especially the more popular ones, get regulars. Regulars meet each other and a sense of community is created. This isn't possible on P2P games without the use of third-party tools unless the game's entire population is very, very small.

yeah, thats the only way i play reach matchmaking, but none of my friends have good enough computers or enough interest to play halo ce, and i like to ensure i stick with the same people for a little while so i can see if they're the kind of people i want to be friends with. if i stick on a server i can find people and weed out the -blam!-s, matchmaking i end up with never the same people twice.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

I'm sure a vast majority of Halo's PC community want the newer Halos on the PC.

I don't, unless it's also ported to GNU/Linux. I might get back on the Halo bandwagon again.

I've heard Bungie is developing a new franchise for multiple platforms. I'm interested in that more than Halo, since Halo is threaded by the evil tendrils of Microshaft.

SHUT UP ABOUT MICROSOFT! I LOVE MICROSOFT!!!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Here, look at this. I used to be a fan of Microsoft too.

Halo 2 Vista was a terrible port of an old game, no new features (online co-op)

We see Halo Reach is feature rich, and hope to see this game for PC.

You can also improve/Upgrade it for the PC specifically,Like: 16xAA/16xAF,Very High-res Textures,Alot More Effects, ETC

It's time you paid attention to PC gamers, we want a quality game, we want to have fun.


Are you really that trollish or really dumb!?
I could argee on the fact Vista only but Halo 2 is classic of course it's not gonna have the modern graphics so gives a *beep*?
REACH for the PC!?
personally I would prefer Halo 3 or Wars to be on PC.

Uh, I think that Halo: Reach for the Xbox is enough. Plus, I enjoy my Halo 1 PC, thank you very much! ;-)

All we've got in four years is that Halo 3 and Reach PC threads have just been sticked. Should we move to 343industries forums, maybe?

Hopefully, Destiny will be for PC as well as Xbox360 and PS3.

I have read this WHOLE goddamn thread and am EXTREMELY pissed. Soo many trolls. I signed up for this site JUST to respond. YES- THERE NEEEEEDS TO BE REACH FOR PC. I am STILL HUGELY into Halo Custom Edition modding, and halo 1 PC was one of the best games EVER made. I have 8 licenses now. MS and Bungie can make SO much cash if they just LISTEN TO US! god damnit! I would drop 100$ RIGHT NOW to get a copy of Reach for PC. why do you guys keep straying from the topic?!?!? I WILL sign the petition NOW. and I expect to see some results soon. we DON'T need Halo 3 for PC BECAUSE THATS NOT THE DAMN TOPIC. sorry for my language - if it displeases you- but somethings gotta give! I have been waiting for one whole year for this to come out for PC, and it hasn't. why the -blam!- wont anybody listen to us?? NO it will NOT be ported to Linux/GNU/mac BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GAMING OS's. AND THEY ARE NOT MICROSOFT. how difficult is it with you people- sign the partition and leave(hehe I said partition, did u notice that? didja? lolberger) I want to be able to customise my spartan on my PC, and compete in online matches with it. Halo Reach in my opininion was the BEST of teh Halos because of its Features(eg, Customise armour, emblems, lots of weapons, jetpacks, online play, everything was great) I WILL NOT buy an Xbox 360 because in 5 years there will be an Xbox 720. simple as that. or in 5 years I could have saved a FORTUNE by simply upgrading my PC with new hardware. PC gaming IS the future and is A LOT cheaper. it does not matter who said what, pull your heads out of each others asses and SIGN THE PETITION! halo 2 sucked bc- bc wat? It does NOT MATTER why it sucked- it just sucked. however Halo 1 was effing amazing in all regards. Halo 1 and Halo Reach in my honest opinion where the BEST out of all of them. who gives a rats ass if its for Windows LIVE or for Steam, as long as its out there! stop with all the nitpicking! sooo indecisive! we can ALL agree that if ANYONE tryes hard it WILL be a great game! especialy when the one trying is Microsoft and Bungie, bc they are HUGE developers. when two HUGE companies like that put their minds on something ppl get out of the way and let them work. it CAN and WILL be amazing, JUST DO IT! I have been a PC gamer ever since the early 90's with WOLF3D and Dukenuke1, 2 and 3, ok I know when a game is going to be huge. the money making opportunity's here are IMMENSE MS and Bungie, just get with the program! im tired of waiting for this. its going to be -blam!-ing amazing JUST DO IT. (im sorry if i broke any rules or offended any1 im new here just wanted to get the WORLD'S opinion out there, I dont really no if cursing is allowed srry broski, lol)

Bandwagoning sure feels good, doesn't it, "brothor."

  • 02.20.2012 1:01 AM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I don't get the whole "movement" to get Halo: Reach ported to the PC.

I know it would look good, albeit not as good as it could have if it was made specifically for PC.

I know that lag problems can be all but eliminated with dedicated servers.

I wouldn't really trust Microsoft, (mainly Hired Gun) to port another Halo game to the PC.

imo all this really comes down to is if you enjoyed Halo: Reach.

Well... If you think so shallowly to believe the only reason you could have for wanting a game on PC would be graphics. There's modding, higher sense of community, dedicated servers, (Those have many different reasons. Not just less lag/no host advantage.) the fact you might not want to pay for Xbox Live, etc.

I know that lag problems can be all but eliminated with dedicated servers.The finding host stuff is the only real problem I think dedicated servers would actually fix. Other than that, the server browser would make it to where you always have the choice to find servers with lower ping.

I wouldn't really trust Microsoft, (mainly Hired Gun) to port another Halo game to the PC.Hired Gun no longer exists and I'm sure as hell they'd never make that mistake again. If they ever port another Halo, I'd imagine they would do the same thing they did with Gearbox.

imo all this really comes down to is if you enjoyed Halo: Reach.You don't say?

My opinion is also formed by the fact that my PC sucks, as well as my internet.
