Intresting as it sounds, I really doubt Gearbox will port it. I mean this is Bungies "Most anticipated, Game of the year" I really doubt they'd let it be ported to PC. I do hope I'm wrong though.

It wouldn't be up to Bungie, it's more or less up to Microsoft since they own the publishing rights. Funny, there is supposedly a special treat for PC Halo: CE online players in the upcoming months. It's suspected to be some little thing for long time PC Halo CE online players and Bungie wanted to show some appreciation. Anyone who had played a legal copy of Halo CE online from it's release to just before the end of May this year had their CD key saved onto a central server and everyone in that list will be eligible for this special item/thing/whatever. Some are thinking it may tie into Reach. I'd really like to know what it may be. Back to porting the other Halo games to PC, it would surely be profitable for MS to do so. They would be the perfect game titles to really push their own digital download service which as far as I know, nobody really one cares at all about. Making Gears of War 2 and 3 available at some point for PC would be cool too and full mod support for the GeoW and Halo titles would help to boost sales and regain some of the "street cred" MS and especially Epic have lost with the PC world. Yes, pirating is an issue, but there are still masses of faithful who still show their love by legally buying good, quality games that don't demonize good users and inhibit us with ridiculous DRM and software requirements. There are better, easier and less intrusive ways of implementing DRM than MS is known for using and GFWL by no means should be a requirement for any kind of gameplay, online or off.

[QUOTE="Philhellene"]If that is the case then why are they even bothering to release Fable 3 for the PC?charmingcharlie

What you mean the now "delayed on the PC" Fable 3 ? That is probably more down to Peter Molyneux he has always been a fan of PC gaming and you will probably find he has pushed for Fable 3 on the PC. I don't think it is any coincidence that Fable 3 on the PC has been "delayed" it will probably come out 6 - 12 months later when no one will really care and those that are going to convert will have converted then.

Yeah and then they willl blame piracy for poor sales on PC.

I want Halo 3 first. I need an ending.

"finish this fight" isn't bloody good enough!

dont see why it would matter. halo reach chronologically is before Halo combat evolved. so you won't need to play halo 3 to understand halo reach. I'm already buying the 360 version but if there is one for the pc I'll still buy it even its $50 as long as they remove any features. What could be really interesting is co-op/fire-fight with 360 and pc users. But I can wait for the pc version cause Im getting the 360 version.

If there is 360 vs PC(which I highly doubt), 360 users will stop playing multiplayer.

Yea I know, thats why I said co-op and firefight instead of multiplayer. versus firefight would be a problem though.

Not going to happen.

Even if it would happen, it would arrive on PC when no one will care about it anymore.

It's no use speculating about it.

Probably trolling. Idk. He did say in another page of that thread that he had left the thread, Maybe he's trying to get members back?

It would BE nice if he gave them a straight answer beside toying with them.

But why? Halo Reach is before Halo 3.
