I know the Halo games usually don't stack up real well against the top of the line PC shooters, but is anyone actually anticipating Halo 3 PC? I have both Halo and Halo 2 for PC, and while they are not the best games ever I still really enjoy them. Live Anywhere is also pretty nice as long as you stay with the Silver Account, because I'm still not paying for what should be free.

I agree on that... which means I'll probably pass on it. I didn't even know it was coming to PC.

It hasen't been announced, but it's pretty much a forgone conclusion, since the first two came out on PC as well as other "Exclusive" games.

Well it likely will (on Vista and Games for Windows Live), but not for at least 2 years.

It's known for being a console shooter so I wouldn't expect it to stack up against PC shooters, but mouse>analog so I'd definitely get it if I had a better PC at that point.

The controls affect the game alot. Playing Heroic difficulty on an Xbox was hard for me, but playing it on PC is a breeze. A mouse gives you so much more accuracy, it makes a ton of difference.

I agree, controls are so important in an FPS that I was much better at Halo on PC than Halo on the Xbox. It was a far better experience for me. Metroid Prime 3's controls so far are the only console controls that rival the PC FPS experience in my opinion.

A lot of console shooters have decently adapted to analog, but I don't think anything can be more accurate than a well-tuned mouse.

I agree that MP3's control on the Wii has been adjusted very well by Nintendo, and after getting used to it, aiming can be more accurate than any console shooter (I like the highest sensitivity on MP3).

It probably won't come to PC for a while though....

But it's OK since I got it for 360 and have the Orange Box on PC to keep my busy there. Also, if it's Windows Vista only, which it probably is, then I'm not getting it. I'm determined to try to stay with XP until the next Windows comes out, because of how bad Vista is.

What are you nuts? Why the hell would anyone want to play Halo 3 on the PC? As soon as you remove Halo 3 from the console it immediately transform into a below average shooter. Talk about a small fish in an ocean of sharks. PC games like UT3, or any of the big three PC shooters totally crush Halo 3. In fact if it weren't for trademark issues any decent moding group can make carbon copy, if not a superior, Halo 3 experience from the Source engine without breaking a sweat.

Any PC optimized shooter will play better on PC versus analog, heh..

But if you have/are getting a 360, waiting 2 years isn't worth it.

I didn't say you didn't. I said if anyone happened to have a 360, waiting for a PC version isn't worth it.

Thank you Cpt Obvious. Whats your point? Every FPS play better on the PC but that doesn't mean any sane person would want to play Halo on the PC. Halo is a piece of crap compared to other PC games. In case you didn't noticed Halo is huge on the console for a reason. I'm not going to spell it out because "if you call yourself a gamer", you should know this.

Lets put it this way, Warhawk is an awesome PS3 game. Put it on the PC and it'll be completely crushed by games like the BF series and Quake War.

Obiesly you did not know the reason people will rather play on the pc then a console.
Your name speaks for itself and I already feel like I waste my time with you so be my guess.

Its pretty clear that you have no idea what you're talking about. That or you have no point, other than Halo running better on the PC, which is as informative as the sky being blue.

You could go back to reading my post beyond the first sentence for starters, but seeing how you need to be spoon feed I'll spell it out for you. Because Halo 3 doesn't exist on in a freaking vaccum on the PC where there are superior shooters already crowding the scene, and thats just today. In about two or a year and half time when Halo 3 MIGHT be out, games like CoD 4, UT 3, Quake Wars, Crysis, and god knows what will be around. By then whatever passing interest you have in Halo 3 will fade and your precious PC version of Halo 3 will be ignored by you and everyone else. Hence my question.

Is that clear enough for you or do I have to draw pictures?
