Halo 3 PC (maybe) real - Possible announcement this month or uh sometime!

what's really going to bother me is that halo 1 is going to be below 2 and 3 if they all come to steam
These rumors got me so pumped up for this I started watching a bunch of old halo 3 machinimas. Back when machinima wasn't all lets plays and commentaries. I recommend you guys go back and watch some of them, they're great despite how old they are.
I never finished Halo 3 but I heard it was kind of short, so I'd imagine including ODST would be a great way to alleviate that.
also if they fix halo 2 and DON'T let you use your current CD key/copy, that's some insane bullshit right there.
[QUOTE=343N;41224475]man if there's vidmaster for PC we should do it again
doubt there will be though
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
unless they include ODST with halo 3 :o
I doubt it, but cmon they might?[/QUOTE]
IIRC there was a vidmaster achievement in halo 3
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;41227136]IIRC there was a vidmaster achievement in halo 3[/QUOTE]
There were vidmasters in both H3 and ODST. 4 on Halo 3 and 3 on ODST.
[QUOTE=Skyward;41214110]Yeah Halo Wars is good for being a console RTS.
Its a shame though, I'd have liked to see a more in depth Halo RTS for the PC.[/QUOTE]

HaloGen, a mod for Command and Conquer Generals.
Given a C&D from Microsoft in September of 2006, a month before the Halo Wars announcement
[QUOTE=343N;41225156]also if they fix halo 2 and DON'T let you use your current CD key/copy, that's some insane bullshit right there.[/QUOTE]I doubt they'd actually take the time to make a system that redeems halo 2 vista CD keys.
Couldn't they just send messages of a key to whoever owns it on GFWL?

I took a game to a locally owned game store(aka not gamestop), and they fixed a badly scratched Xbox game for like $3. The had a custom built machine, loose wire bundles and everything, that pretty much lapped the surface smooth.
the only problem I see with FOV is that it's tied to the player biped in maps. I don't know how easy it would be to make it an adjustable setting

in halo 2 it is anyway

I'm pretty sure the program is designed to change the biped tags in the map while it's running. I mean as a setting in a menu even out of the game. And in this case it would reset every map change.
Nope, I use it and you change the FOV to like 1.3 or something, x it out, and bring the game back up, and it stays until you quit.
does it stay each map change?
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
wow it does
that's great. then if this guy can do it surely the developers can
Wish I could have it automatically done though, hate having to minimize and enter the value every time i launch.
the only problem I really see is how many people would get angry that it's not in degrees and that it's in some other value

Converting between radians and degrees is not rocket science.
it's radians?
i didn't know
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
good now I know what to put as my FOV
90 degrees = 1.57079633 radians
So has it actually been confirmed or is 343N just hyping people up with rainbows
not yet, but it's looking pretty real!
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
we won't know anything until july, aka at the least, 3 days, cus when we know what happens to H2V most likely we'll know about the rest.
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
so it seems like max fov is 91.6 degrees in halo, even Ambigious doesn't let me set it higher
I'm going on a trip for a couple of days, so hopefully when I get back we will have some sort of confirmation.
[URL=http://www.h2mt.org/repository/notes.html]RADIANS[/URL]
Halo 2 uses radians instead of degrees for rotation stuff, so here's how to convert between them.
1 degrees = 0.0174532925 radians
Degrees = Radians * 180/pi
Radians = Degrees * pi/180
I think that 3.14 is as far into pi as you need to get...
So if in halo 2 you have 2.15 as the rotation of something, it's 123.25 degrees.
I just used google, but thanks, now I know how to actually do it
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
just encountered another problem with the program
zooming in resets your FOV
What? I've been playing H2V MP for days and zooming hasn't reset it for me
it is for me

also fyi guys MS PR decoding;
"we do not comment on rumour or speculation" = "fuck, how'd they find out?"
"we have nothing to say at this time / we do not currently have any plans" = "were not ready to announce this"
"Microsoft deny rumours / story [x] is based on inaccurate rumors and speculation. We have no further comment" = "not true in the slightest"

beautiful stuff, we can expect when halo 3 comes
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
just made a halo waypoint thread, hopefully to get this shit across

now I have to go find all the skulls again, that's gonna be fun.
when it releases, if I get it/can get it, does anyone wanna get the skulls with me? i know i'm way ahead of myself but I don't care I'd rather get the skulls with 3 other people than with myself
Played through the campaign again. God that level "Cortana" is a bitch.
also guys can we try to avoid making other halo pc related threads, at least, until this one is dead cuz i don't want information spewing everywhere. when it hits july 1st, I'll ask BSAngel when we can expect an update. if she doesn't know, i'll suggest RTX (as if it's gonna make a difference, but WHATEVER)
[editline]30th June 2013[/editline]
funfact, never play "The Ark" and use the turret instead of drive on normal difficulty or higher. the ai will just park itself while 3 wraiths shoot at you
Hopefully we will get some solid info on this soon.
Also, Didn't they also deny the Age of Empires 2 HD re-release?
