Halo 3 is too old.

If it costs more to produce than the foreseeable profit, then they have no reason to make it. Based off of H2V's poor sales, M$ probably has a pretty bad taste in its mouth..

If they ever do decide to reproduce a halo series game onto computer, it would probably be one of newer halo games considering computer technology is advanced and would rather purchase halo reach pc rather than halo 3 pc. Just my 2 cents

Huh. For some reason I think you know nothing on the subject. Can't figure it out though.

For all we know, it could be in development, and Microsoft could announce it tomorrow.

I don't want anymore Halo PC games anyway my computer can only just run Halo 1,2 and ce so more would mean I'd have to get a new computer.

EVERYTHING on pc gets pirated. that combined with the fact that almost everyone who has wanted to play halo 3 has it by now, they wouldnt make any money.

Guys, Shocker is totally right. He said hes computer couldn't handle it so lets not even bother with the whole project, his penny is the prettiest one.

Enough, cut the slack. I'm sure everyone here does not look over their replies like it's the Declaration of Independence. He most likely did not mean it in that sense.

What?

Imho opinion, if mircosoft released halo 3 pc before halo 4, they would make a big profit if the port is as good if not better than the console version.

I've personally enjoyed both pc ports 1 & 2.

Actually, someone asked Frankie (one of the highest people in 343i, who was previously a member of Bungie) during some event if they had plans to make another Halo for PC. He said they have no plans, but it isn't out of the question.

Until there's a chance of it making a profit, they won't release another Halo game on the PC, unless they're confident it'll sell. If they want to do Halo 3, they have to seriously upgrade the graphics (native 1080p support, anti aliasing, Halo PC style options etc) Dedicated servers that actually work, no gimminks (only for windows vista etc) Not to be bug ridden, no features taken out (except maybe splitscreen) and GOOD mod support, Halo CE style.

Halo PC/Custom Edition didn't have mod support. If you consider what Custom Edition had to be mod support, then it definitely wasn't good by any means what so ever.

What needs to be done is proper mod support like you find in Valve games or how the CoD series used to have.

I should rephrase that to modability rather than mod support :P. Compared to Halo 2 Vista, Halo PC/CE had far superior mods, with the only one of note in Halo 2 Vista being the Co op mod, since good ol Hired Gun decides to lock out most of the tags for multiplayer...

Definitely needs mod support instead of just not securing it from us. :P

(Bungie > 343i)

Who knows? I'd love if Halo 3 were released for PC.

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.

I'm gonna make this short and sweet. The reason why H3 isn't coming is because Microsoft has absolutely no idea what PC gamers want, and the last time they thought they did, we didn't bite.

A horse owner feed a horse grass on Monday, she likes it. He feeds her hay on Tuesday, it spits it out, it prefers the sweet grass. The owner continues to force feed the horse hay, expecting it to get used to it, but it does not, and it retaliates, the owner improves the hay quality a little by harvesting earlier but the horse still demands fresh grass. Eventually the owner gets bored and gives up. Leaving the poor horse to die a slow death.

The story of Halo 1 and 2 PC.

Correction, we bit their ass as hard as we could.
