Subject: Will Bungie Halo 3 PC right?

Halo 1 > Halo 2
PC > Xbox

So that means Halo PC freakin pwns.
Its basic logic, even an xboxer could understand it (mmmm, maybe thats asking a little too much)

Because, Mr. I-Don't-Use-Common-Sense-And-I-Don't-Type-Correct-Eng lish, would it be good for business to release Halo 2 PC and Halo 3 PC in the same damn year? There would be a strain between who would buy which game. It would make more sense and better business if Halo 3 came out a few years later after H3, Vista, and H2PC arrived in stores.

You realize that you can't compare a game like Shadowrun to Halo2, right?

Shadowrun is an RPG game. It allows cross-playing likely becuase of the mere nature of an RPG game. However, in an FPS, everything is different. You've got people running around wtfpwning Xbox-goers with keyboards and mice, as opposed to the Xboxers.

It just wouldn't work too well. Let's say H3 PC does support cross-platform gaming between the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista, but it's released two or three years later. Xbox 360 gamers will have a three year headstart, and despite the fact that Windows Vista gamers will be using a keyboard and a mouse, it's still going to be somewhat difficult to level the playing field. Also, what if you had to pay to play H3 PC online? It wouldn't be fair for Xbox Live gamers if they had to pay fifty dollars a year to play Xbox Live, but PC gamers could play online for free for the same game?

Ask yourslef this Spartacus, Do you really want to play with whiny 7 year olds on Xbox Live? So now we KNOW it's a good thing we play to ourselves on H2&3PC.

Tis the high price of being a console gamer, Kim.
Also, Will Bungie Halo 3 PC right? is not a complete sentence.

Which shadowrun? Isn't there only one, and that's an RPG?

No, there's two. I'm surprised you didn't know this, me15ter.

There's Shadowrun, the RPG, and Shadowrun, the world's first cross-platform first person shooter for the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista.

I don't think Vienna will follow on the heels of Vista, by the by. I would expect perhaps a gap of at least 4 or 5 years before Vienna even begins to take shape.

Remember this is supposed to be the new "next best thing" to happen to computers, so it might take a while.
