You'll be waiting a loooong time then.

No longer than I've waited for any of the other Halo games.

i strongly disagree i doubt microsoft will wait that long too release halo 3 on pc, there is a huge base of halo fans that dont own xbox's me being one because my computer is 10x better than any 360, and for one a few current release pc titles such as crysis already **** all over halo 3, and imagine what we'll be seeing on pc in the next two years, i for one wouldnt even bother buying halo 3 for pc in two years (and im sure others agree), and that would mean microsoft and bungie would miss out on a huge profit.. i doubt two such succesfull business's would make such a poor decison.. i guess we'll have too wait too see if im right or not.

Long, as in a year and a half, just like both the other games?

I would imagine so. Though, now that Bungie is independent, perhaps they'll devote more time to the PC version. Not to mention they're burdened by the next Halo game, since the series is "over."

HALO 3 for PC is not even in development yet. Bungie Studios have confirmed that, they are not yet developing this game for PC. We know Development of games take couple of years, So even if they start developing it today. It will still take a long time for it to release. I don't have much hopes for this game to come on PC.

I would actually expect this fall, with an E3 announcemt ala Gears

A Halo 3 PC version would be a port more than a "developed" game remember, it was developed on the 360 which is similar to a PC. Should be a whole lot less work to convert it (probably throw in some extras or new maps/modes though to increase the warranting of a new purchase for existing owners). I think the Halo series is decent, but overhyped. The story is only "good", too few weapons (c'mon, there's like 8 weapons, 4 for each race in Halo 2, look at Perfect Dark or Timesplitters and their 3 dozen), the single player is only "good", and the controls are only "workable". Still a good game but not the god of FPS's like many make it seem IMO.
 
I bet it'll come to PC but not until MS has milked it's release on 360 for a while.

Bah. I cant wate for Halo 3. Hell, I dont own a Vista, and I play Halo 2 on my XP. I like the storyline. But there are many reasons to get the PC versons, and wate, than get the consol versions.

Halo 1 (PC Version Only):
Improved graphics
Better sounds
Flamethrower in multiplayer
New maps for multiplayer
Rocket Warthog in multiplayer
Turrets in multiplayer
More people in multiplayer
Fuel Rod Gun in multiplayer
Halo Custom Edition
Custom content


Halo 2 (PC Version Only):
Imporved graphics
All Map Pack maps automaticly in
New maps for multiplayer
Custom content


I'd say its woth wateing for Halo 3 for pc. You can garentee that it WILL be better.

That is the most important thing in my opinion the PC has over consoles.  You can make your own mods and maps and stuff like that, I know you can download some on consoles, but modding is way better on the computer, and it would be really cool if one day you could do that for consoles as well, even just transport them over or something. (maybe you can, I don't know)

But halo for the computer?  Nope.. I don't even like halo.

I don't understand all of the halo hate in this thread - the controls on the console version are fine; maybe you just need to adjust the look sensitivity to better suit your playing style.

There isnt a FPS out there that rivals Halo 3 in emergent gameplay and AI

I don't hate it because of controls, i just hate everything else about it lol.   I'm not into it at all.   I don't want start anything, I just never liked halo.

thats fine if you genuinally dont like the game; each to his own and all. I just hate people who **** on halo just because its a popular microsoft exclusive.

Oh that has nothing to do with it, in my case.  It's just the game to me, nothing about Microsoft, there at least.  But Microsoft can be very good at times too, so what ever.   Actually I didn't realize it but i like it a lot more than i used to now that i thought about it.  Vista works fine for me also.  Took a little time to get on it's feet but it's good.

Keep waiting.

thats fine - it just riles me up the wrong way when others, unlike yourself say "halo is overrated lol" when they haven't even played it; just to discredit one of the only major franchises microsoft has.

Not really waiting for it.

I'm playing Halo 3 right now and I'm loving it, never picked up any Halo game for the PC although the map editor is tempting...

I agree, also. it would really just be some control changes, and more than likely importing the games-for-windows-LIVE features.  Since the original xbox is mearly a pc with microsofts xbox operating system on it.  And the 360 is the same with a modified version of that operating system and faster hardware.  The PC version would not take long at all.  Microsoft is waiting.  I just want them to make the halo movie =) costs too much my ass, they're microsoft

I say 2009/2010 release. There have already been a few hints of it coming soon. It will come to help boast and support Games for Windows Live service at some point when Microsoft is ready to release a client and let PC gamers have Games 4 Windows Live.
