Hey, you still have like a year too buy a 360. That shouyld be enough time to get that and Halo 3 when it comes out.Besides, Halo 3 won't run on the Xbox because it (Halo 3) has ninja-high graphic skills.

Besides, if Halo 3 utilizes every aspect of the 360, how would they be able to make it to an Xbox game? Your Xbox would explode.

Just buy a 360 :P

They're in stock everywhere, they're not expensive and they wont make Halo 3 on Xbox cos it can't handle it. Also, Microsoft want people to buy 360's so they wont make Halo 3 for Xbox owners

Why then u can't play system link with your friends, b/c they all have reg. xbox. If play halo or halo 2 on xbox 360 it has bad lag. They need to make it for both systems.

its so people will buy the 360 and if halo was for other consoles, lots of people wouldnt buy xbox

Read my post above. There is a time in a systems life when it gets put on a shelf and gathers dust. The time for the xbox has come, it had a good life. Now please, let it rest.

duck it's for 360 only
I dont think it should be for the old black box as it'll be uncomparible to the super 360 graphic wise and they need to concentrate on the new not the old

Halo's a hell of a drug.

Have you played the new Hitman Blood Money on the 360? There's a level on there where you walk through Mardi Gras and you're in the middle of like a hundred people (litteraly). You can even kill all the people if you wanted. You can blow them up or shoot them.

The xbox would never be able to handle this. The new Halo is supposed to have similar events and stages. Bungie would have to dumb it down for the oldbox and it probably wouldn't make sense.

That's an emulator issue, not a system issue. xbox 360 is a far better machine than the oldbox.

Original Poster and all his cronies = First in the Slingshot.

It's not coming out for XBox, kettlehead, get over it and get a job.

  • 06.08.2006 10:51 AM PDT

I don't know what everyone is talking about, I want Halo 3 to come out for my ass. That way I wont have to buy any new console, or even use the one I have!

*sigh*...Halo 3 for 360, period.

Its not going to be an XBox 1 game. Microsoft Game Studios, which Bunige is a part of, has been focused on 360 development exclusively since late spring/early summer of last year when Conker Live and Reloaded shipped. That was the last first party XBox 1 game so there is absolutely no chance no matter how many signatures a petition gets or how much -blam!-ing you do that the game will have an XBox 1 iteration.

Dude,if Halo 3 was for regular xbox,then what would be the purpose of making better graphics? The regular xbox just cant take that kind of detail on a game. The xbox 360 can,so there. Just buy one and stop whinin.

*Rant on!*
Hey, why we're at it, why dont we release it for the Atari? Because it seems some very stupid people think all consoles have the same hardware.

I mean......this takes my breath away. Its amazing. Look at all the stuff cut from Halo 2. The downgraded graphics, limited freedom, etc. The Xbox could not handle Halo 2. And here you are, claiming a game roughly four times more complex than H2 would run just fine on the Xbox. Retardation knows no bounds.

*Rant off!*

Read about my gaming here.

How old do you think the xbox is? hm? OLD, how old do you think the 360 is? hm? NEW, whats the difference between new and old? hm? lots of things, especially the hardware, whats the point of making a brand new console, with no new stuff, just a new skin. hm. It's a YEAR and MORE untill Halo 3 ships and hit the store, let's see, the "super" xbox 360 pack is 400€, let's say Halo 3 comes in November thats 17 months from now, 400 / 17 = 23,54, so you have to save 23,60 € each month, also, the price will most certainly drop untill then and also drop a little extra becasue of Halo 3, let's say to 300 € or 250 €, 300 / 17 = 17,65 and 250 / 17 = 14,70, so you basicly have to save 18 € a month, plus about 4 € for a Collector's edition which we say cost about 70 €, what's the hard thing in saving money? If you can't save that amount then you don't deserve the 360 and especially not Halo 3, make a sacrifice.

People, its not coming out on xbox. It couldnt handle it. But you are correct saying the 360's price is a joke, I could do alot more with that money than spend it on a game system. The price will drop when halo 3 comes out and then I will buy it, untill then lan multiplayer halo 2 on reg xbox is 100% ok with me and all my friends.

Get a job? No kidding I have one, but its called food, rent money, utilities, gas, repairs. Thats what moving away from mommy and daddy after school is all about man, Im not about to blow $300+ on a video game system that doesnt even have halo 3 yet when I can buy good food, go out with my friends, buy stuff for the car, spend it on women etc etc.

Ok, so drop that price a little when halo 3 comes out and it will be in my living room. Waiting till 2007 is a little -blam!- still, its only june 06 so far but oh well. laters.

True. i agree that they need to make games for the 360 and focus on it. It does have the better graphics. I guess its time to retire my xbox.

  • 06.08.2006 11:22 AM PDT

Maybe because the game engine is actually good enough to run it.

This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever read in my life.

You register two days ago, and this is your contribution thus far? Kid, by 2007, the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii will no longer be "next generation" consoles. They will then be "current generation" consoles. They stop developement alltogether for previous generation systems at a point.

This should not have to be explained to anyone.

Lets try to get bungie to stop being -blam!-s and make the third halo for regular xbox too.

If you want it for regular xbox, you are gonna get a crappy version of the game. If you start saving now, you can afford a Xbox 360 by time Halo 3 comes out.

Maybe because Microsoft isnt giving first party support to the Xbox for um...a year now. And the need a killer app for their new system..and...u know what...its just easier to slap u and call u stupid..-SLAP- stupid...there



No no no..... I said make it for both systems stupid. not just xbox. That way they start with a killer game and peopl don't have to buy a 360 just for halo 3.
