Do you think Bungie is making this game compatable for XBL/PC Live compatability if they decide to port the game over to the PC? I think it will happen after two years just like it did with Halo 2. I would love to own some PC players over Live.

Microsoft has Live Anywhere, which allows PC users to play on Live. I highly doubt we'll see cross-platform play though.

no listen the whole cross-platform thing is actually going to be used soon

games like shadowrun are gonna allow people to play online where one person could be on a 360 and another could be on a pc

i don't see why an update wouldn't allow halo 3 to do the same if they're not already incorporatin that into the game

True but that was when Live anywhere hadn't been announced. Bungie is always one to think ahead and I think they would put something like this into Halo 3. Sure the game might be a little unbalanced but it wouldn't be in match making. Only custom games and such.

The PC verison of 2 will not allow Xbox users to play....they fact that one group is using mouse and keyboard and the other is using a controller makes it imbalanced...


what?? no kick your nuts comment?!?!?

and chief - bungie already said H2PC and H2 will not be able to be played against each other, so i doubt they will do it in H3.

It's a balance issue more than anything. Maybe we will be able to have Xbox and PC gamers play against eachother in custom games, but not Matchmaking.

well i think that there is a small chance that it may happen [not that i'm looking forward to it] but the 360 is a next-gen console, so it may happen

but don't take my word for it

yeah. but theres only one problem. i dont know if youre talking about MM or not, but if they were ranked, the xbox 360 players would have an advantage over the players who have crappy PCs, and then the PC players would get mad at bungie.

yeah, maybe bungie will make options so people who want to play cross-platform can and those who don't, won't.

then there's the chance that PC gamers will mod the maps and all.
