[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;50647676]Halo 3 anaversery on pc confirmed[/QUOTE] Makes me wonder if they'll do anything with Halo 3, considering it's already on the MCC.

I couldn't even install it for a day because I had to switch the install directory to a different drive, and the changes wouldn't take until I restarted it and redid it about 3 or 4 times. I'm not exactly sold on it considering how stupidly annoying it was just to get into a game.

[QUOTE=ghost901;50647685]Makes me wonder if they'll do anything with Halo 3, considering it's already on the MCC.[/QUOTE] Not for a while at least, MCC just bumped Halo 3 up to 1080p and added AA I believe.

[QUOTE=The freeman;50647969]Not for a while at least, MCC just bumped Halo 3 up to 1080p and added AA I believe.[/QUOTE] And bumped the fps from 30 to 60. Plus I think they fixed up the lighting a bit? Not too sure on that though.

[QUOTE=Egevened;50648089]origin is a friendlier, better to use, smarter system and noone wants to put their games on it[/QUOTE] As an EA launcher, Origin's pretty great. You can even configure it to automatically exit once your game closes, so as long as I'm not using it, it's only taking up a small amount of extra disk space (which I've got no shortage of at the moment).

[QUOTE=Makol;50648129]And bumped the fps from 30 to 60. Plus I think they fixed up the lighting a bit? Not too sure on that though.[/QUOTE] Yes, all MCC games run at 60fps. If the lighting got 'fixed', it's because the game was transferred over to ODST's engine which has better lighting. Thankfully, we get Halo Online from that since HO runs off of the MCC ODST engine.

[QUOTE=Egevened;50648089]origin is a friendlier, better to use, smarter system and noone wants to put their games on it[/QUOTE] Not to mention customer service that is actually competent.

[QUOTE=Amez;50648523]Not to mention customer service that is actually competent.[/QUOTE] EA/Origin customer service is pretty amazing compared to most companies. Once I got disconnected from a chat with support and they called the number attached to my account to continue working on the issue I was having.

[QUOTE=Amez;50648523]Not to mention customer service that is actually competent.[/QUOTE] I remember that during the Titanfall Closed Beta, if you asked for a beta key they just gave you one.

Origin was practically spyware at first and didn't have nearly enough titles at launch to really justify using it unless you really wanted to play shitty EA games. It might be objectively better than Steam in every regard other than titles available nowadays, but it's too late to undo the damage. If you're looking for Steam alternatives, GoG and GoG Galaxy are great. But it faces the same problem of a lack of triple A titles available.

[QUOTE=Makol;50648557]EA/Origin customer service is pretty amazing compared to most companies. [/QUOTE] Getting voted "Worst Company in America" ended up being the best thing that ever happened to them

I just want the original Halo 2 and Halo 3 on PC. I couldn't care about the anime known as "Halo 6".

[QUOTE=Egevened;50648089]origin is a friendlier, better to use, smarter system and noone wants to put their games on it[/QUOTE] Origin has the problem of being unable to gift games, and that's a massive oversight. I wanted to buy my friend BF4 since it was $5 but you know what, I would've had to get on his account or PC and enter my card information, and I don't want to deal with that when I could just click "gift" instead.

There's even a mod to reinstate multiplayer. The problem is that nobody plays it minus a server or two.

I would like it being on Steam but it is better then not getting them at all. Now if only the Windows store wasnt a piece of shit and they had decent launches for PC.

[QUOTE=LZTYBRN;50647602]yeah but we have to deal with yet another fucking storefront and launcher get over yourselves and get your shit on steam already[/QUOTE] I'd rather not. The windows store fails to function for me and I have never found a fix no matter what I've tried. I can browse it but can't download a single thing

Now just put all previous Xbox games on PC, I just want to play Brute Force and Need for speed underground.

Oh man, in just about 6 to 7 years when they make a new Halo collection for when the current trilogy is over we'll finally be able to play Halo 3 to Halo 6 on PC

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;50649523]Now just put all previous Xbox games on PC, I just want to play Brute Force and Need for speed underground.[/QUOTE] Uhm, NFSU is on pc. :v:

[QUOTE=Furnost;50647645]so far basically every other attempt to make a new storefront has been awful to use or not as successful, people need to step their game up[/QUOTE] Origin isn't bad and many people use it for battlefield

Cool, now I don't have to buy an Xbox One!

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50648668]I just want the original Halo 2 and Halo 3 on PC. I couldn't care about the anime known as "Halo 6".[/QUOTE] halo 2 has been on pc for nearly a decade now

I always said that Microsoft would be the first of the three to pull out of the console race and integrate their stuff into Windows. Back to Nintendo vs. Sony, then.
