Subject: Halo 3 to PC!

The title says it all really.

I used to game extensively on an Xbox 360, but after switching to PC Gaming I have barely used it. I just went on it for the first time in months and I have fallen in love with Halo 3 again. What I am craving right now is to be able to play that game on my PC.

I'm just wondering how many other people want Halo 3 on PC and if there is ever a chance that it might happen.

Probably not, since 343i would have to hire someone to port it over to PC. Right now, 343i is only concerned with releasing Halo 4 on time and everything else has taken a backseat.


Also, your better off posting this on their website because... Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

Here's something I posted in the Halo PC forum recently:

These sorts of things are not up to 343 Industries. It's ultimately up to Microsoft. The only reasons Microsoft ever ported the Halos to the PC were for a special reason.

Halo: Combat Evolved PC - Steve Jobs was extremely upset about Microsoft taking in Bungie to make Halo as an exclusive for Xbox after he had shown Halo off as a Mac game. Microsoft agreed to port Halo, along with a few other games, to the PC/Mac.

Halo 2 Vista - Vista was already being rumored to be a terrible operating system for gaming and Microsoft was already planning to start their initiative to take over the PC gaming market with Games for Windows Live. It just made sense that they could use their most profitable franchise to win gamers over while keeping the newest in that franchise (Halo 3) as a Xbox 360 exclusive.

If they were to port another Halo, they would need a good excuse to do it. As of right now, there's no real mention of anything that would suggest there is. No amount of messages, protests, petitions, or hate will ever convince Microsoft to do it if they don't see an absolutely clear business opportunity in it.


Also, what Noshotskill said as well. :D

Bungie no longer has rights to halo anymore

Yeah, I know Bungie doesn't own it and there's probably no chance that it ever will end up on PC, I just wondered if anyone felt the same way as me.

In that case, I most certainly do! This isn't the right place to discuss that, though. :P
