Can we at least still have Halo 3/Reach/ODST please?
Atleast it hopefully means that future Halo games do come to PC.
Fucking finally. They finally gave a good answer to the question and not a beat around the bush. he said no, that's all I was asking for MS.
now what about Halo 3 :v:
That line sounds pretty funny after Dead Space backwards compatibility was announced yesterday or so.
Microsoft is really on point these days.
Fuck halo 5 I want halo 3.
All I want is the MCC and ODST, don't care about anything else in the series.

not all hope is lost.

Man, they really like being vague. "Hey there's tons of stuff we can do. I'm not going to say any, btw."
He doesn't want to look back... the same guy that brought backwards compatibility to Xbox One, Master Chief Collection and Gears of War Ultimate Edition.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably getting the same treatment

at least now he's gotten over his remaster/port phase.
honestly I'd rather see the next iteration be what they work on instead of bringing back older games for fanbase brownie points. I want a good goddamn game built with PC play in mind from the start, not an xbox port

and a rerelease of halo CE and 2 with their mapping tools i would be so happy

not any HD remakes, i want the originals, especially with 1. a custom edition updated for higher resolution and better prefromance on modern machines that still lets me play the old maps would own hella hard core
MCC and ODST/Reach or bust.
JUST DO IT!

Please read, he says deving halo for PC would be fine but working on halo 5 itself would be looking back
Isn't halo 3 pc already done but not officially released? Like I remember they had a f2p russian only game that was literally just halo 3 mp that got shut down but there's mods for other countries to play it that still work
[editline]31st March 2016[/editline]
Didn't halo 5 just come out recently? I'd imagine they mean that they'd rather not work on something again that they just finished, but remaking something thats like 8 years old would be fair game, like with MCC.
it's not like phil is even involved with it anyway

Yeah move out of the way PC, Xbox One is here.

He's a PR guy, so he has to speak on behalf of both Microsoft and 343i when people ask him Halo related questions. If he's a good PR guy then he says exactly what he's told to say, and the people that tell him what to say are Microsoft.
So [I]technically[/I] you're correct, Phil Spencer's word isn't important. But he's speaking on behalf of different groups of people, so you have to take what he says seriously.
On top of wanting Halo to come to PC, why the fuck did 343 stick with the horrid designs they made? Halo 3 and Reaches' armor designs were leagues better than what they ended up settling with.

How are the Halo games not meant for PC? Halo 1 was originally a MAC game and Halo 2 was on PC too. Worked just fine.
I just want to play Halo 3 with a mouse and keyboard and 60 (or more) FPS.

Fuck man, Phil can keep that Halo 5 garbage, just let me have the classic games and you'll make tons of money. Listen to reason Phil!
Gotta remind people that Phil is still a PR person and there is a still a big chance we might get 3-5 (including ODST) for a remaster that is built for PC. If the current whispers about 343's business state from what I heard is true , They will have to do something sooner or later.

i'd hold back on expecting halo 5 on pc, that might happen when halo 6 comes out at earliest.
Imagine the modding capabilities for more modern Halo games, though. That shit would explode in an instant.
UT-like mutators, even

So working on the PC ports of previous games would be looking back, but porting the newer games, in which you would need to story of the older games to know what the fuck is going on, is A-OK?

Worked fine for MGS. Then again knowing what the fuck is going on isn't a possibility.
