Rumor: Halo 3 PC 2009

http://www.split-screen.com/2009/03/31/rumour-halo-3-pc-in-2009-gears-of-war-to-stay-xbox-exclusive/

"Their showing at this year's Game Developers' Conference 2009 may not exactly reaffirm hopes but Microsoft has been very active as of late, albeit in secret. Besides rumours of new IPs from Rare doing the rounds, Microsoft Game Studios, the main in-charge of the Xbox and Games for Windows game division, has been doing the rounds on Gamasutra with about 18 job postings for various offers within the company. These rumours are pretty heavy but none more heavy than the fate of the 360's two biggest franchises and heavy hitters since the console's launch: Halo 3 and Gears of War. In fact, based on two of Microsoft Game Studios' listings, rumours suggest that Halo 3 may be coming to the PC this year and Gears of War could stay exclusive to Microsoft's platforms.

As the listing for Group Program Manager states,

"Microsoft Game Studios' is looking for an Executive Producer to help develop a new game for the Windows platform. Work on one of the most exciting and well known intellectual properties in the industry. We are building products that will define the future of Windows gaming."

What more exciting and well-known IP for the industry and Microsoft than Halo? After all, the first PC Halo released nearly two years after it's Xbox release; the second, after three years for the same platform. Will Microsoft continue this trend and bring Halo 3 to PCs in late 2009? The listing certainly indicates that experience would be helpful: "You have experience shipping AAA current generation games through a minimum of three product cycles."

We all know Halo 3 is coming to PC.

It's just a matter of when.

Agreed, first two were on PC, so the third will be.

lol, if that is true , 360 would be the first console whose number of exclusives decrease with time.

Yeah, I can see that happening, I even played the other 2 on both Xbox and PC as well.

obvious port is obvious

Would people actually buy Halo 3 for PC now?

I could see people buying it back when it was released but PC-FPS players have got to know better by now. :|

cool, a 9.5 AAAE taken from xbox 360 and now i'll be able to have it on my pc while playing PS3:D

the 360 exclusive list is shrinking day by day all they have now is Gears 2, Fable 2 and Banjo

Wiggum: [gets out of the car] I am proceeding on foot. Call in a Code 8.
Eddie: [into radio] We need pretzels. Repeat, pretzels.

Happens to PC and PS2 as well..Nothing new here as developers want to realize full earning potential on their software.

I have a feeling that Halo 3's release for the PC will coincide with the release of Windows 7.

Could argue the PS3 lost the most, what with 90% of it's supposed exclusive libary going multiplat. Anywho it'd be pointless to do but whatever, played it long ago.

i dont want Halo 3 on the pc..they dont deserve it!!!

[QUOTE="_Pedro_"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] Then i guess you don't count that all the games released on wii from the nes, snes, n64...ect makes those games no longer exclusive, the same for ps1 titles releaseing on ps2 and psp, or ps1 titles releaseing on ps3...ect or psp titles releaseing on ps2... Very odd logic.
