Many PC's can process faster and generate better graphics and such, but what the PC gaming community lacks is standardization. Every XBox 360 performs to the same specs, which leads to a more uniform community as a whole. Developer's aren't concerned with having to support their software on obscure equipment, and players won't be concerned that other players with more time and money will be able to outplay them because they have better equipment.


PC users aren't getting screwed, there are many great games for PC that were never developed for consoles. And for anyone that can afford to spend 12 grand on a fancy toy, they can afford to drop another $300 on a 360.

They must focus on Halo 3 for the 360! When it comes out for PC it will have more features, so you might be content when it arrives for PC, just be patient, buy a 360 if you don't have one, and play it on there, enjoying a much better online experience, and most likely a online co-op campaign which will be pimp.

No, i like PC's better man!

PC Ports Suck, and Bungie knows that, that is why you will not see Halo 3 on the PC untill 2010.
So you are saying you hate the company to ported and made Halo PC, and upcoming H2PC, look around, consoles are good for gaming, PCs are too, console arent the best, PC's can do many more things, browse the web, play games ( of course ) watch movies, and more. Please do not insult those who are pateint and who wait for more features. Of course, people want this cheap, cheap isnt always good, expensive has its good things, cheap things has its good things, they are the same, i dont want a platform war against the Maw.

Microsoft doesn't care what you want. With 360 no more halo 2 sales, so they can milk halo 2 by giving it to you pcers. then you guys want halo 3 and you become new xbox 360 customers,

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

Microsoft is a big supporter of computers and gaming... but what do they do to the people who have $12,000 gaming computers? they go off and make there games for only x-box, NOT VERY SMART!!! i have just recently got a 360 to play h-3 but i did get really ticked when i heard i wont be able to play it on something with REAL gaming power.

Any other PC gamers out there who are annoyed by this?


1. They are eventually going to make Halo 3 for PC just like they did with Halo and just like they are doing with Halo 2.

2. Anyone who spends $12,000 on a PC is freaking insane. I spent about $1100 on my including Windows Media Center Edition, and it runs everything fine except for GRAW, which takes a supercomputer to play. It runs Vista fine, and it will run H2 Vista fine.

3. The XBOX 360 has real gaming power. Consoles are awesome just like PCs are. You just proved yourself to be a fanboi in my eyes.

Though, I do believe PCs are superior to consoles due to their raw power and high-res gaming, and the mouse/keyboard which without it playing RTS games (and RTS is my favorite genre) and MMORPGs would be much more difficult, that doesn't mean I'm a console hater. I love my Xbox 360. I am a PC gamer at heart, but I'm not one of those purists who believe that games can only be played with the mouse and keyboard.

The Xbox 360 does have gaming power, but will pale in comparison once DX10 arrives. PC gaming will always dominate.

  • 07.18.2006 6:24 PM PDT

Wrong! PC's can do many more things than consoles, that makes them better.

Not true. I believe PCs are better, but not just because they can do more things than consoles.

Anyway, that doesn't mean you can't have more fun on a console than you on a PC. Though I will always enjoy my computer more than my 360, I will always have fun on my console. (But if I wasn't such a diehard PC fan, I wouldn't have known and met you guys. I'm so glad I am.)

I now realize why they made you a Ninja, Recon. Your overwhelming intelligence and common sense truly humbles me.

(I prefer hammers over screw drivers, but whatever, dude. PCs > consoles.)

Bungie is not Microsoft. They are owned by Microsoft, but they are not the same company. Also, does EVERY Xbox or Xbox 360 game become available on pc?
Well, I would like to see Conker:Live & Reloaded for the PC.....

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I'm saying that direct ports to the PC are usually crap unless the developer takes time to perfect the ported version of the game.

I don't really understand the point of this thread. I'd just like to say though, a 360 is not like a highend pc. A highend pc has 4 processors each with dual cores, 16 gigs of low timing ram, 4 or more 10,000rpm sata150 hdds on raid, 2 or more 7950gx's, xfi sound card box etc etc Which does infact equate out to about $7000. Don't be an idiot and think your $1000 pc or 360 is comparable. Think thats unneccessary power? Try rendering a high def video and playing a game while burning a dvd at the same time.

That is called overkill and a pointless waste of money. My PC with an upgraded videocard(a Radeon X800 AIW) will run any game I throw at it with no problems. I don't need to waste roughly $6000 of my money to build a new PC when I can spend around $200 to upgrade my video card.

When did I compare my PC that fits my need or my 360 to a waste of money?

Who really does that? You? Ok, maybe you and a few other people who wasted $7000 dollars. Who really has that money in real life? Someone with rich parents who spoil them does. Bill Gates does. Not many people with jobs, rent to pay or a house to pay for, and a family to take care of does.
