Were Halo 1-2 considered exclusive?

Exclusive to Microsoft.

If a game is exclusive to one company's OS and or console, then it is exclusive. Exclusive as in competitors are excluded.

No one here seems to know or to be able to understand this, but when your product is only available through you, it is an exclusive product; Otherwise, it is non-exclusive and available through other means.

A game published only for MS systems is a MS exclusive. Platforms cannot be the deciding factor for exclusivity, as a company may own more than one platform.

Before they were released for PC, yes. Then the "definitive versions" were released and made the Xbox versions defunct.

God of War 1 and 2 don't anymore since they've gone to another system. Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and virtually every nintendo game evermade aren't exclusive either.

They are spiritual exclusives. Imo if something is exclusive for more than 2 1/2 years then its a spiritual exclusive. Kind like sonic is an exclusive genesis game, it was released on like a milllion consoles since but its still pretty much an exclusive.

Both the xbox and pc versions of halo1 got about equal mileage out of me. I loved it online.

Doesn't really matter to argue the exclusivity of Halo CE... It was such a revolutionary FPS for consoles, and one that challenge the best PC FPS that the after shock alone has yet to be duplicated on the opposing console platforms. So there is still a degree of exclusivity if you look beyond petty semantics and realize that Halo and Xbox are synonymous... Nevermind the fact that it was built for the Xbox and then ported to PC by GearBox.

[QUOTE="_BlueDuck_"]Let's say for example we take the top ten games on PS3 and the top ten games on Xbox 360. Let's say for the sake of argument that all 10 Xbox 360 games are only company exclusive because they are on both 360 and PC. Now let's say all PS3 games are on PS3 only. In this case, the fact is that to play all of the 360's best games, I don't need to own a 360. The fact that the other platform is still a Microsoft platform is irrelevant to me, because if I have a PC I have absolutely no reason to buy a 360, and that is a strong argument against the 360. On the other hand, if I want to play the PS3's best games, I need to buy a PS3, no other way around it.

We do not follow the real definition of exclusive here, either. :P

I know it isn't particularly on topic, but I've always found this funny

Realistically, yes. In System Wars, then no.

It was exclusive until released on PC.

omg ppl company exclusive now.

console exclusive

platform (business model) exclusive

company exclusive

:roll:

If you have to put a word in front of exclusive its not really exclusive.

For a time.

The only exclusive that really matter in the real world is company exclusive, where it's only available to to the customers of one company. Anything else is just ignorance of the meaning of the world perpetuated by those who have absolutely zero understanding of even the very basics of video game publishing. This isn't surprising, as I wold venture a guess that most of the people who visit this site are between the age of 12-22, and are still wet behind the ears when it comes to understanding and having experienced how the world really works.

What does your post have to do with your statement? It's not exclusive to MS especially when it can be played on the competition's hardware and one of the competition's software.
