Will the HALO PC version even make 2003?!?

The article and interview

The gist:

Right now, they aren\'t even developing the port.  When they do get around to it (and it\'s not even close to a priority), they want to drastically improve it over the XB version, by taking advantage of the PC\'s online status, so it will take a while.  With HALO 2 on the horizon for the XB, it\'s looking like this will get pushed further and further back... maybe until it\'s forgotten.

That sucks, I was gonna buy it for my PC.

Keep dreaming.  It\'ll come out just before Halo2 ships, stirring up interest in the xbox and driving sales.  Halo is too important to MS.

yeah, it was thier bread and butter

You guys expected something else?:rolleyes:

Yeah theyre the same thing.  It sounds awesome to me!

HALO Online is NOT HALO 2... Why do so many people assume that?

HALO Online is just a version of HALO packed with the incredible multiplayer that Bungie originally wanted to put in.

Ya know after spending $300 for the Xbox and $50 for Halo, I seriously think the multiplayer should be in the form of a bloody add-on disc...


hmm.. bloody, guess i ran out of native cuss-words to describe my anoyance at the lack of bots or other costumes... seems like a waste to bother puting so many modes when you can\'t have bots and everyone looks almost identical... and could we get some more weapons and a level maker please.

They would have done that if it wasn\'t for Microsoft being the greedy sumbizzitches that they are.

Including all the things you\'ve said, I want to be able to play as a Covenant Elite(Hell, I wouldn\'t mind using a Grunt. ), or a Marine. How about those massive multiplayer co-op play in Campaign mode that we were looking foward to?(That\'s what got a lot of people interested in HALO in the first place) I want those water vehicles that Bungie talked about way back when. I want the flamethrower back in... And for mm, 60fps, locked.

Lot\'s of stuff they could do with this.

It\'s quite a shame really that this game will probably never come out on PC (or sometime next year when noone wants it anymore). After all, it was intended for that platform, until Bungee was bought over by Microsoft. I know a lot of friends and PC gamers who are mad about this - and being the PC-gamers that they are, they certainly won\'t buy an Xbox (also because they have Microsoft to thank for not seeing HALO on PC).

I guess that\'s kinda like me being mad at Square for being Sony only...sooner or later you just give in.   Tell your friends to get over themselves...if they want Halo now, then buy an Xbox.  Doesn\'t get much simpler than that...  

And don\'t worry, Halo will come to PC...right around the time Xbox is getting Halo 2;)

Hexen is better than Halo.

Might and Magic is better than Final Fantasy.

No really... any game where you can turn your opponent into a pig and then chase them around with an axe is great.
