Halo Reach looks coming to the PC? Very likely.

I'd like it on PC but I don't think it will come. Oh well at least bungie's new stuff is multiplatform.

I don't think it will, the gearbox hint was nothing more than a load of rubbish - that the employee himself hinted at being a joke. Was the dig at Halo really necessary btw?Ravensmash

gearbox ported Halo:CE to the PC :S could be the same setup bungie does the xbox version and porting duties are shifted off to other companies and why loose out on all the potential extra sales?

I was thinking about the rumours that gearbox dudes hinted it was coming and it makes perfect sense. Bungie is now independent, MS is looking back at PC gaming, if you drop you fanboy hats an look at the situation it makes perfect sense for it to be a timed exclusive. It's been on the PC before, Fable 3 is coming, Kinect is coming, Bungie will make more money, I bet it was in the original Halo Reach contract. What are your thoughts? Personally I don't care, Halo on the PC is lame, controling the game with mouse and KB shows how slow it is, and how lame the weapons are etc. But I know a lot of you would like it. FriendlyGaimz

Dear god no. Like we want that generic noobified excuse for an FPS.

I'd want it.... unlike popular thought there are people who enjoy these experiences on PC, and that's the great thing about PC, we got everything for casuals, hardcore and inbetween.

Halo 3 wasn't on the PC. Why would Halo: Reach suddenly make the jump? And before you go dropping that talk about Bungie breaking away from Microsoft, Microsoft owns the Halo IP and already has 343 Studios working on another Halo project. PLUS Gears of War 2 never came to PC as well and that was developed by Epic Games. Oh and let's not forget about the death of the PC version of Alan Wake either. If anything your talk about there being a lack of exclusives on the 360 is more of a reason for it to stay exclusive because Microsoft realizes they need solid support for the 360, hence no Halo 3, Gears of War 2, and Alan Wake on PC. They are keeping these games exclusive to give people a reason to buy a 360 because there are hordes of fans out there for them that will drop the money on a console to get the new Halo or Gears games. And also I'm a PC gamer myself and I had to laugh when you said Halo is a casualized FPS game. I never cared for Halo before but after picking up 3 and running through the multiplayer quite abit, it is still a pretty solid experience and holds up very well despite a few minor issues.

What does art style and graphics have to do with how casual a game is? Last time I checked it wasn't designed for all ages..... And actually it requires a fair bit of skill to get kills in and the action can be pretty fast paced too. Maybe you just aren't that great when it comes down to the FPS genre and things seem to move slower for you because of that. I'm not saying Halo is the best FPS multiplayer experience out there, that awards goes to Team Fortress 2 on PC, but it is definitely a solid experience. And a total noob can get a clean up kill on any game, it isn't that hard.

You said there was nothing casual about Halo because the ones in the MLG lists are such pros. Halo is for casual players plain and simple. Games like CS and Quake Live (since you mentioned it) do require skill to be actually good at. Halo is just a FPS which moves at the pace of a snail.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Halo 3, and Halo 3 ODST. If there was a time for a Halo game to go PC, it would've been ODST imo - seeing as it had the entire MP from 3 included.Ravensmash

Halo ODST was a poor excuse for a game.

Oh really is that why MGS: Rising, DMC4, Lost Planet, Lost Planet 2, Street Fighter 4, Bionic Commando Rearmed etc all came to the PC this gen because only pc is losing games to consoles? It looks like both the pc and consoles are losing franchises to each other.

[QUOTE="Dead-Memories"] two very different games, you also assume that everyone that plays halo can't play on PC, which is a questionable stereotype. and besides, CS is nothing compared to quake competition, sorry. try out quake live and see what I mean. Dead-Memories

I don't even play CS and Quake I don't like FPS that much but I do know they take more skill than Halo. And anyone who excels in either CS or Quake is alot better then someone playing MLG Halo.

Halo has always been accessible, but accessible =/= casual. There's a fairly steep learning curve to the game that you'll never see unless you play with the best.
