Any word on if it is only going to be PC or Macintosh. Seeing as how Bungie started on Macintosh i will be sad if they have forgotten us.

They will. Look at it logically: its a game in a series, they're obligated to release all the other parts of the series. Hence, H2PC, and likely coming soon, H2Mac

the thing is that Bill Gates probably wont let them cause he is being mean to his enemies lately but also being an idiot cause he anounced Halo 3 being worked on 4 times b4 the anouncment!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah Bungie i bet you like me getting angry at him for you :D. but back to the point see when Halo 1 came out to PC it Halo wasnt as big as it is now so Bungie wasnt really under Bill Gates and he wouldnt have minded now he would and he probably will not let them do it but im not saying they arent cause you never know cause sometimes Bill Gates gets weird ( see above for an example )

actually that's not entirely true. while sw battlefront 1 and 2 were released for pc, only sw battlefront 1 was released for mac.

it's not a question if they can make ce for mac... it's a question of popularity. if pc use of ce grows, then gearbox, macsoft, or westlake may consider doing a mac ce port.

why would macs not be able to support ce? they run h1 perfectly.

First off, let me grade you on your English. You get an E for Effort.

Secondly, no one here is complaining. And most of us here are PC enthusiasts. Now, any competent gamer should know that PCs dominate the gaming world, and an Xbox pales in comparison. Some people here don't like to play Halo with a gamepad, and just want to play Halo 2 with a mouse and keyboard, and some of us can't wait to see how beautiful Halo 2 will look like on PC. Some of us, prefer to enjoy great gaming experiences on the superior gaming platform, the computer.

Can a wimpy Xbox play incredible games like F.E.A.R., or Act of War: Direct Action? No, because of two reasons: the Xbox cannot handle such a graphically intensive game like F.E.A.R., and cannot play Act of War: Direct Action not only because it is also a game that is very demanding on graphics, it requires a mouse and keyboard to be played. Can you drag a box around a group of soldiers with a controller? I think not.

And even great PC games that have been ported over to the consoles like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, are just watered down versions of the PC versions where you are stuck on a small resolution which do not do the original PC graphics justice. Not to mention, the PC gaming community is more mature than the pre-teens that roam Xbox Live eager to share their potty humor. Plus, not to mention downloadable content on the internet. And don't even get me started on how some of the greatest games ever were on the PC. Command and Conquer, and Doom, just to name a couple.

Before you say what you think, think!

And don't try to throw this crap right back at me by saying, "Oh, well EA is releasing Battle for Middle-Earth and F.E.A.R. for the Xbox 360, a console, which can support such graphically intense games." The Xbox 360 is practically made out of computer parts. That's why it's so good. I'm not saying that consoles suck, but it's easy to pick which is the best if I was to decide between a computer and a console.
