I want to know what evereyone thinks about the possibility of a Gears of War esque PC port for Halo 3. We all know it's a no brainer from a money making standpoint. Do you maybe think it would be a better idea if Microsoft included cross-platform Live play like Shadowrun? Discuss.

The devs of halo 3 have stated that they do not have 1 single line of code written for the a PC version of halo

that means at least a year and a half of development if they started right after the release of Halo

you would be lucky to play Halo on PC when Windows Ironhorse comes out.

I would like that. The reason why I purchased my Xbox 360 in the first place was for Halo 3, but I would still purchase it on the PC in addition to the Xbox 360 if it had a reasonable amount of additional content.

Halo 3 should be experienced by all gamers. If most gamers played Halo then 90% of the haters will be converted

Cross platform play...sounded great for Halo 2, but didn't happen. This time around however, I might finally be able to stick it in the face of Hermits world wide....:twisted:

GS AU: What can you tell us about a possible PC version of the game?

FO: I can tell you for a fact that there's not one line of code written for a PC version at this point. We're not working on it, Microsoft hasn't even chatted to us about it yet. They realise the important thing is to get the 360 version at this point.

It will go to the PC though I would prefer it stay with the 360. All the good games eventually go to the PC and it's a bit annoying.

Hmm, I'm thinking if Bungie hauled ass and managed to find a way to get Halo 3 to PC in a years time it would become a phenomenon! Imagine this huge influx of hermits plus all the existing users; millions upon millions of copies sold. Then again, if there was no cross-platform I wouldn't care so much.

Half the people here won't care about half the the things posted. Do they ask "Why would I care?" or other things close enough to be considered trolling?

Nah, for me I would only buy one version( Most likely for 360), as long as I could play it I'm fine :)

No bias in that poat. Waste money? By that logic we all waste money. Few games? More AAA and AA than all the consoles last gen.

By the time it does come out for PC, you'll be able to scoop up Crysis for $30.

I don't want that thing on my computer. By the time Halo 3 comes out for the PC (if it does), the thing will be antiquated, and there will definetly be better things to play on the PC.

Bungie is Microsofts #1 powerhouse developer. Microsoft is trying to win the console market over, so they are going to tell bungie to make more games for microsofts gaming platform, or make it a priority over pc games. No way willit be released within a year. If anything bungie will let another developer port the game to the pc.

halo's graphics dont warrant buying a new card, its pretty easy to tell that a decent modern graphics card could run it.

Just to clarify, they most likely have thousandsof lines of code ready for a PC version, whether they've started the port is different. It's not like they sit down and start coding from scratch again, considering platform similarities we're talking about a great deal of reuse.

It will happentaikthebate

it will. and anime is not only for children. western people connect it to western cartoons, because they are drawn similarly, western cartoons are made mostly for children. anime is like regular tv in japan. you gotta open your mind.

I know you need anSDK and use a PC to develop. That's common knowledge. I was just clarifying that what they claim (or what you state they claim) isn't true at all.
