They shouldn't. It just wouldn't work out. All the technical limitations involved - cross-platform gaming is developers hell. Halo 2 came out two years ago on the Xbox. It will only recently come out. Xbox gamers will have a two year head start. At the same time, PC gamers will have the distinct advantage of using a mouse and keyboard.

EDIT: I took out a few insults.

No, I will not be banned for fake bad feedback because my aim is so good with a mouse.

Ok, the thing about Xboxers and PC players is stupid. Meaning that it's stupid to think that it would even be possible. The game would have to be a perfect, and i mean PERFECT clone of the Xbox version. Also, 1 patch and that idea goes down the loo. Why? Because even in PC games it's rare to have a game with two versions (ie: 1.0-1.1) being compatable with each other. That's another reason consoles suck, no patching, so the game has to be perfect the first time or you just f**ked yourself out of some cash.

This idea would be very hard to achieve for the makers of H2V.

I mean, this would mean they would have to kill the idea of adding PC-exclusive weapons and vehicles, because they wouldn't be compatible with the players on the Xbox.

But with Bungie's cover story saying that they probably won't add PC-exclusive weapons and vehicles, I'm pretty pissed.

So, XBOX gamers have the time advantage and PC Gamers have the ocntrol advantage. It would balance out perfectly.

No, it would not. Not all Halo 2 players have played for two years. Also, Xbox gamers have the incredible auto-aim at their side.

You must also note the incredible technical limitations.

reasons why they shouldnt

-1. we will get zero patches as mentioned before
-2. auto aim or w/e dosent help if your against someone witha mouse and keyboard
-3. PC players tend to be more mature experienced players i dont want a 7 year old Beotching about how he keeps getting killed
-4. uhhh we are better at life?

Heyyo,

I voted no... why? community differences. I hear a lot of bad things about the online community of XBL, and would fear for H2V if it had the same community.

That, and H2V will have some serious modding capabilities. Lots of game creators frown on the idea of modding the software for console, that is why most game mods on console are illegal hacks, so they would pretty much have to revamp Halo2 for xbox in order to get it to work with H2V (my guess is if this idea would come to light, it would be the long-lost idea of Halo 2.5 for XB360).

I'm sure vista will see some game releases that will work with XBL since some features of XBL are intergrated with WinV (XBL anywhere). Remember folks, Halo1 never got MP for XBL, so if H2V doesn't have XBLA compatibility, then it's like the Halo series to do so, so when H3V comes to PC in 2012 it will probably be XBLA compatible. ;)

But you're not considering the fact that Shadowrun will be built from the ground up to be for Windows Vista and on the Xbox 360. They won't release the Xbox 360 version first and then port it to PC two years later, like they will for Halo 2 Vista. Maybe Shadowrun will give 360 gamers some auto-aim to help level the playing field, who knows?

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think it would be a good idea since Bungie made the mistake of putting in Auto aim in H2V. But that's not how it's going to happen.
