According to web sources the big rumour doing the rounds is that Halo Wars will have cross platform play between 360 and pc!

If it does I think I would buy it for pc and use my gamertag on there instead.

Lol dave i randomly looked at this topic without knowing u started it haha.

if it is cross platform, then i would definately get it for pc, as it's likely that it will be £10-20 cheaper.

Kotaku's not as bad source either.

Agreed. No one will bother with cross platform until it's free.

But not Windows for live gold. PC gamers won't pay for something they have gotten for free since...ever.

Yes and they'll be on their xbox, but who is stupid enough to pay a monthly fee on a desktop to play 1 game.

Xbox Live gold is the same as 'windows live gold'.

I play Games for Windows Live on my PC all the time, it's fantastic.

whats the point... a mouse and keyboard vs a controller... 360 users will be at a disadvantage
