If you look at the job openings for bungie you will see that they are looking for these four positions:

Graphics Programmer (PC)
Audio Programmer (PC)
Network Programmer (PC)
Game Programmer (PC)

It's pretty clear that Bungie is going to be developing a pc game if they are looking for those positions. I really hope they skip halo 2 and just release halo 3 for the pc the sametime as the xbox 360. Bungie was a huge developer in pc games. Lately they have been making console and relying on other companies like gearbox or macsoft to port their games over. I really like what Bungie is doing. Going back to old school bungie which is a lot better then new school.

Doesn't mean the game has to be Halo. There are other games out there. Maybe Bungie wants to make a different one for PC. I think it's about time they did.

I personally dont wanna see halo 2 on pc. They wouldn't make a complete different game Too much work to do while they are making halo 3 (that is if thay are even making halo3). This way they can just port the game to pc.

Eh...maybe, but I don't realy think they should make Halo 3 on Pc and 360 at the same time. Just my opinion...

Well Gladiator, if you don't want to join in the Halo 2 on PC forums then don't do so, people are starting to get more clue's about this development and want to know more on Halo 2 PC. I know this isn't a Halo2 PC forums... but their will soon be one :P It's too obvious i can't see why Bungie just don't frigin anoounce the god dam game already!!!

> Everyone loves a bit of gossip... join in on this people !!!

Intrepid 408 : I really hope they skip halo 2 and just release halo 3 for the pc

Well, thats one of the most stupid things i've heard lol , Its stupid because its bad for business, only because you've played Halo 2 and some people haven't... and generally a silly idea lol .

it annoys me when people talk about halo 2 pc in here. not because its out of place, but because the entire halo 2 issue is what caused many, many, people to completely leave the maw as it got completely ridiculous. i believe me15ter and mr ma5b were here around then. chewy gumball was too. it was so dumb. id rather just wait for news than discuss it... when anyone brings up halo 2 pc it brings all the halo 2 xbox people in here saying "itll n3v3r c0m3 0u7 on pc j00 n***z!!!

yeah. it gets reaaallly annoying. thats why they finally made a sticky.

I'm not sure this ad says anything. I mean, they can't ask for Xbox 360 programmers, since that barely exists. However, if they are looking for Xbox 360 programmers they might start looking in the group of people with PC programming experience.


He's got a point. Who here has "Xbox360 Programming Experience" on their resume?

Besides, what software does the 360 run? Anyone?
Hint: The 360 is a Microsoft product.

No-one?

From what I understand, which is probably a whole lot less than I profess, most of the code for the 360 and it's games, are derived from the Visual Studio package. We're talking C++, .NET, etc.

This programming package was originally designed for coding on PCs. What is the Xbox (Original or 360)? A console-ized PC. It's got PC hardware, so we know that the hardware can communicate with "PC" software, especially MS software. Therefore, in asking for persons with PC programming experince to apply, Bungie/MS can increase their talent pool of applicants, rather than the maybe one or two people who would be qualified to apply for an X360 programming job

And there you have it.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Actually, the 360 dev kits were/are souped up Macs.
