Mods on power trips crack me up.

Why cant bungie admit they got Halo PC very badly wrong and left it to rot?

The Xbox 360. The customers are the beta testers.

It seem's as if Bungie is caught between profit, and professionalism. They send the message, no answer is the best answer. The vibe I catch is, "Ignore them untill they quietly go away."

I don't understand their logic on just focusing on one gaming system. They made it obvious it's all about the duckets, but for some reason don't care about the potential profits in pc gaming.

To me it's a little ridiculuos that a company so big and popular would only make the game for one system. If it's about the profit's, why don't they maximize the potential and capitalize on their creation?

I think that they think this would put a dent on the sells of the new 360. But the fact of the matter is, the majority of pc gamers will not buy the 360 and go onto other games.

If Halo 2 does not come out for pc, I will never play it, (even though I know several people with it.)

To me this taint's M$'s image in the pc market, as Bungie ride's behind on their coat- tales.

Remember that Bungie is owned by Microsoft. I doubt it's Bungie's say as to what systems their products are released on. I'm sure Microsoft is trying to get as many people to buy an XBox as possible.

It's not in Bungie's profits to do it that way. It would be more profitable to them to release it on pc. But, since they're owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft can get a lot of money by keeping it exclusively on XBox...

Like I said before, they don't plan on issuing any statements about H2. Not that they told us that, but, just going by their history with H1. They can't even comment about the game they helped screw up. So my answer is probably never.

We will be lucky if they even say anything.

You know, there is a group of people creating Halo 2 for the PC. They're progressing quite nicely, but I'm not exactly sure they'll completely pull through. Very dedicated group, already have a test demo out for their special members.

Yea but if you read some of the stuff Bungie says, it sounds as if Bungie forgets that Microsoft owns them.

If we're lucky mabye someone will make a decent X-Box emulator.

Aside from that I doubt we'll ever see Halo 2 PC simply because Microsoft dosen't want to see it. Bungie is owned bt MS, and whatever MS says they gotta do. If MS said work on a new project, they'll work on a new project. If MS said to bring Halo 1 to X-Box Live, they'd bring Halo 1 to x-box live. It's as simple as that.

  • 11.15.2005 1:32 AM PDT

Basically, you can never say it's not coming, since you'll never actually know unless Bungie says something.

Come on, how many developers actually give their fans a forum in the first place?

Bungie is owned bt MS, and whatever MS says they gotta do.
From what I understand, the relationship is more like publisher-developer. So this is probably very true ;-)

Does that mean that Microsoft forgets that they are the publisher? Does that mean Bungie can do what it wants, then? No, not really. The fact still stands that they are basically under MS's authority. They still remain their own entity, though.

I believe the ONLY reason they've chosen not to release Halo 2 for PC, is because of XBL. As long as MS can make a killing on XBL, they're not going to release a game for PC that everyone can play MP on, that is free.
