If you are anticipating Halo 3 for PC, good luck. It's going to be years for it to come to PC, and by then, no one will give a damn.

Dexter was playing it. But my guess it won't happen for a couple of months or later this year at least.

Halo 1 for PC still stands strong, probably because it is the best of the console-to-pc ports in the Halo series. Halo 2 PC wasn't that popular because Microsoft naturally got greedy and decided to charge people for playing Halo 2 online (which was REALLLY popular on Xbox live), and ALSO because they made vista a requirement (which was relatively new and buggy at that time). Did I mention the port was somewhat meh?

The recent Halo console-to-PC ports have admittedly been somewhat botched, and I think fanboi's point is that the Halo series were born to be only attributed to the Xbox. If taken out of its niche (aka "role" in the grand scheme of things), it would just be fazed out by other games that were originally meant to be on PC.

I hope that whoever ports Halo 3 to PC isn't a complete money-seeker and carries out the change effectively, therefore giving it a better chance of developing its own PC player base.

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.

if u got nothing good to say about the game, then i suggest u not to say anything at all since all your posts in this thread are practically spam and flame

now on topic its quite obvious no1's gonna spend 300 dollars on a console just to play halo 3 for 2 weeks. personally im waiting for halo 3 pc and i hope its not windows 7 only or a shytty direct port.

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.

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.

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'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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
