Wat. System requirements means the Xbox 360, however this could be a pointer to a surprise windows 8 gaming integration release, if it happened this would most likely lead the way.

Probably won't happen.

"PirateEggs" gave me a rational and convincing explanation about it on monstermoose.com:
System requirements being Kinect, #GB of HD space for install, like with Reach you needed a HD to play Co-Op because you needed to install the ~7GB game to your HD without that space you could not play the game in Co-Op the files couldn't read fast enough. Halo 4 will more than likely be the same, needing you to install the game to your HD to play Co-Op and / or Multiplayer, there is only a certain amount that fits (safely and properly) and a ~8GB DVD.

I highly doubt it will be on PC. They wouldn't release it on PC without releasing Halo 3 first. MS know how much that would hurt their (already very poor) image.

So, as usually, it won't happen.

Just like they would never port Fable 3 to the PC without first releasing Fable 2. Ah, hold on.

Either way, I have a more convincing argument. Reach is an abandoned game that's approaching its second anniversary and we haven't had a Halo port for over seven years. Halo 4 would be out before they could get a chance to port it.

System requirements being Kinect,There is no way in hell Microsoft would release Halo 4 with it requiring Kinect. All joking aside, they're not seriously that idiotic.

like with Reach you needed a HD to play Co-Op because you needed to install the ~7GB game to your HD without that space you could not play the game in Co-Op the files couldn't read fast enough.You don't even need to have a separate hard drive to play Reach's cooperative mode anymore. Also, you didn't have to install the game its self, you just had to have one.

However, he is partially right about saying system requirements could point to the hard drive. It's not about anything he associated it with, though. It could simply be that you need a hard drive for Spartan Ops which won't be on the disc but is still consider a part of base game its self.

We already saw SmartGlass at E3 and I'm thinking it might have some functionality like what was rumored before. Instead of the PC emulating it you'll just stream it to your PC.... If that is the case though, I'm wondering why they didn't say anything about that specifically at the press conference.

I highly doubt it will be on PC. They wouldn't release it on PC without releasing Halo 3 first. MS know how much that would hurt their (already very poor) image.As Bt said before, he's completely wrong on this one seeing as though they did it in the past. I don't even see how the hell someone would come to the conclusion that this would "hurt their image" either.

I'm disliking the emphasis on installing to hard drive in recent Halo games. The requirement to have a Xbox 360 hard drive for Theater and file downloads is also annoying. Why can't I use a memory unit?!

Since when did Halo games become Halo: Lag Evolved?

playing reach without installing = bodies and dropped weapons disappear faster, game freezes can happen

playing anniversary without installing = -blam!- ton of problems in classic graphics, switching to classic graphics takes forever, game can't retain a lot of dropped grenades (I can get at least 30 grenades with Pinata before they start disappearing)

Afaik, installing Anniversary barely improves it.

Regardless of installation, crossing loading points in H3, Reach, and H4 has a really noticeable moment of lag, though H4 isn't as nearly as bad as it's predecessors.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Anniversary was a great game, just get a damn Hard Drive, they're like 20-30 dollars on eBay.

I have one but it doesn't improve performance too much nor does it immediately nullify (compared to other games) the loud noise from the Xbox 360.

You want to know what I think is facepalm worthy? People asking Bungie about the future of the Halo games. I support them making comments like that to idiots. If that's you, you have absolutely no excuse for not knowing this.

Ask 343. Even then it's idiotic to ask if they're going to release a certain game. It's not like they're going to say anything. In every possible aspect you just look like an absolute moron.

Ah, I see. So you say you got 30 Grenades in CEA before they started to de-load? I'll try and trap an enemy elite and see how far I get.

Yeah I think it was about 30. Of course, it was done without a hard drive.

If you're going with trapping Zealots behind the elevator controls, then you might want to do Normal or higher because they're not very persistent or durable on Easy difficulty. Of course, you could turn on Mythic skull to take care of the weak shielding.

Edit: Oh crap, I forgot about the inactive Zealot at the end of AotCR!!

That would be the better option. All you need is a Ghost to clip through the blast door. There are also 2 other Elites that you can melee for grenades. There's also Grunts.

I can imagine one hell of a grenade explosion if you left them alive, started the controls, and threw a grenade. I'm now wishing I didn't sell Anniversary.

Why would you want Halo Reach for the PC? Why would you even want it for the Xbox?

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.

Because mediocre console games can be good PC games if ported correctly. Even a game as bad as Halo 2 could have been good on the PC if they had done it right.

Halo Reach will still flop on PC, Sliding Ghost aka glitch master would like it though

Thanks for the mention but I'd need more incentive, such as a dedicated modding program to make things right.
