Hey guys, for all the unfortunate people who afford to buy the xbox 360, join me, can bungie please reconsider the game format of Halo 3 and bring it onto normal xbox as well, it would be great if they would , lets hope they have read this and are rethinking their decision, they could disapoint alot of Halo fans.

Think about this Real HaRd

I wish they would release it on the original xbox. But it wouldn't be able to handle Halo 3

they could MAKE it for the xbox!!!
its actually not that hard for what ive heard from game mackers.
the only TRUE difference from the 360 and the xbox is this:

360:better graphics

xbox:faster gameply and less glitching

And you know this how?

I haven't invested in a 360 yet, but I wouldn't want to play an original Xbox version of H3 anyway. The sheer scope of the trailer is waaay beyond the capabilities of the Xbox. Besides, I'm hoping for some seriously epic battles in this next one and to play a version modified to eliminate those would not do the final chapter of the trilogy justice.

Just my $0.02

Let me explain something to you the xbox 1 CPU a 733mhz pentium 3 is single core one thread the 360 uses three 3.2ghz PowerPC based cores each containg two threads making six in total now what bungie can do is delegate a specific task to each thread spreading the information aound and everything runs smoothly try shoving all that information down one threeade and you get a CPU overload or a crappy game with a suckass framerate one of the two now the graphics xbox 1 233mhz NVIDIA, 360 500mhz ATi that is more than double the clock speed meaning the can do more quicker thus the awesome graphics you see in the trailer. Simply its impossible to make Halo 3 run on xbox 1

Oh yeah those are exactly the differences, yeah sure. The CPU and GPU are totally different and incompatible, hence the reason we need to run a software emulator to play xbox 1 games on the 360. It would be possible to port halo 3 to the xbox 1, if they turn down the polygons it would complete possible. But bungie will never waste the time to do so.

While not exactly the most accurate explanation of the hardware limitations, he's mostly correct.

No offense Mat, but you might want to read up on the concept of threading a little bit. While it's ideal for a multi-core/multi-cpu environment, the P3 and most other processors are capable of running multiple threads on their single core. The proc in the 360 is definitely capable of taking advantage of this programming concept though, so you were pretty close.

other than a few game manufactures, if you notice on XBox web site, they are slowly not making any more games for the "old" XBox and they have said that also. I have friends that wine that they cant afford one but yet they can go out every weekend and get drunk, buy weed and get stoned, it's clear whats more important to them. If you don't fall into that profile then grab a lawn mower and get to cutting. $15-$20 a lawn minus $1 for gas? you do the math, or brown bag your lunch and pocket your parents lunch money. Try and save your money and in time you will have the money.

Or you could go get drunk and stoned, break into someone's house and steal theirs.

Just letting people know there are options. ;)

yep dam, thats the only differene. the 360 dosnt have a 3 cored power pc processor that has a totally different architecture and is probaly 8 times as powerful as the pentium 3 in the xbox. i mean a total novice game maker can easily make the two totally different platforms work together.

Meh, time shouldnt be wasted making halo 3 for xbox. That time needs to be spent making Halo 3 the best it can be.

If you want Halo: CE so bad, go and play it. I am truly getting tired of people saying this.

  • 06.08.2006 9:21 AM PDT

I sort of agree with you, I don't have an xbox 360, but we have a year (assuming its not 1/1/07,more like 7/7/07) So just start saving up (that means no fruity loopies at the gas station) Besides its going to drop to I think $250 in October, My Birthday:October 13 :)

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)
The Mirratord

Sure H3 could run on the original XBOX. It'd probably run about one frame every two seconds, but it could run if it were stripped down.

they will disappoint even more halo fans if they DID make it for xbox. get a job and buy the 360 if you want to play halo 3 bottom line.
