Man, I really hope this happens. Halo CE was my first ever experience with an online game. Wish I could play it now, but I lost the disc and key long ago.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;39966473]nah its the begging for every game in existence to be ported to pc[/QUOTE]
Erm, maybe I'm just failing to see your logic but how exactly is desiring a game to be ported to your platform of choice elitism? Elitism is inherently thinking your platform of choice is better than other platforms no matter what and looking down on the other platforms.

you guessed it.
but what i'm thinking of is the whole "Dark Souls would be better on PC because PC gamers like hard games more than console gaming peasants"
honestly wanting a port is ok as long as people aren't saying pc gamers deserve it because console gamers are peasants or whatnot.

the dark souls thing was mostly Totalbiscuit and his ilk though
No one said anything like that at all here though.
If Halo 3 never comes to PC that'll be disappointing, but if Halo Combat Evolved/Custom Edition and Halo 2 don't come to STEAM, I'm going to cry.
Microsoft isn't retarded, they just stick to what they know best, deny the shit out of everything and announce release dates when they are ready to be announced. How many times did I read as a kid that MS said: "No no, no plans for X and Y." and a few months later I was playing X or Y. We'll just have too wait, because the only thing sure, [I]for me[/I], is that it will be at least near the end of 2013 before we are playing Halo 3 on PC.
I suppose its a cliche to say at this point,
but i really never gave a flying fuck about halo.

Then why bother posting in this thread?
i actually own halo 3 but i hate playing FPS with a controller because of how accustomed i am to the keyboard and mouse. i've always felt it was better.
also i never had xbox live because i would have had to buy a wireless adapter and also pay monthly and never got around to trying it.
if this happens it should fix both of these problems. with mod support it'll be a definite purchase. i have fond memories of halo 1 multiplayer.

I dont wanna brag but i have every achievement for Halo 3 and its multiplayer is really fun.

Id like to learn what the fuck that shits appeal is. because i dont see it.
I still prefer Custom Edition to Halo 3, but I would still buy it and play it a ton if it came to PC.

It's a fun game. That's it. You might not enjoy it much, but plenty of people do.

why don't you look up some reviews and perhaps play it for yourself instead of declaring that it sucks and asking fans of the series to prove you wrong
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;39963005]Isn't it a bit late to be worrying about Halo 3? What about the newer ones?[/QUOTE]
The newer ones don't feel the same and Halo 3 WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME TO MOD! Or at least I assume so. Halo 3 has a lot a of cool artistic assets and with an SDK, I could see a strong modding community.
In my opinion, Halo 3 is the best in the series to date.
1 was alright but I only played through it once to be honest. 2 was the same, but I played the multiplayer for a little while. Reach I have played a fair bit, and while it's alright I don't think it is the best or anything. 4 I haven't played yet.
3 kept me occupied for an incredibly long time. Easily one of the better games I have ever played. Despite being a part of a whole story, replaying the story never got old and the multiplayer didn't either. Then you go into custom games with friend and Forge and it just made an amazing game.
I would love to be able to relive it all on PC.

Because anyone who doesnt like your game must be full of shit right?
No, ive played Halo 1 and 3.
I do not fucking see the appeal. Its painfully mediocre, terrible gun-feel. Mostly boring enemies, forgettable characters.
Imagine Halo 3: Custom Edition. That would be rad.

Congrats! You have an opinion just like everyone else here, doesn't give you a reason to come in here and be so negative.

sorry for judging.
i can't honestly tell you, i haven't played halo 1 in years and i've barely scraped the surface of halo 3.
nobody in this thread said that everybody had to enjoy it, though. you should respect peoples opinions. i'm sure that there's plenty of people like you that don't like halo that have chosen not to post in here because they aren't interested, but there's no reason to be so insulting towards fans who enjoy it.
Gotta be honest, never liked the the single player campaign in the Halo games, but man oh MAN, did I spend a lot of time in the multiplayer... I would pick this shit up on day one just so I could play the multiplayer again.
Come on Microsoft... Let me give you my money.

if you dont like it then ok but being an aggressive baby about not liking a game in a thread about said game is just making you look like an asshole
so congrats on that
I'm way more excited than I should be
I want to play sticky wars and race mongooses and twat people across the map with a gravity hammer all over again

ok, here is a tip: if you want people to be open to what you say, put "i think" in front of your opinions. otherwise, you look like an ignorant, egocentric jackass.

since you're regurgitating cliche copypasta bullshit, I'll reply with a copypasta reply I wrote last year so I'd never have to work at this again.
[QUOTE]
The thing about Halo that I like is that at its base it's a mix of a lot of good features. They may have not been revolutionary in 2001, but they certainly haven't all been featured in a single game. Since then, additions came to the series that weren't original, but were still novel. Halo 2 brought in dual wielding, vehicle destruction, and vehicle hijacking while omitting Halo 1's health pack system. Sure two of those three additions weren't new, but they rarely show up in the same game. Dual wielding usually shows up in more ego style shooters where the individual player is the focus of the gameplay, and vehicles/ vehicular destruction usually shows up in more tactical team based games like Battlefield 1942. The addition of health regen was the start of a horrible trend, and I personally didn't (and don't) like it, but it was inconsequential in the Halo formula where it's usually death upon contact.When Halo 3 came along and brought Saved Films, a more comprehensive set of custom game options, and a primitive (but serviceable) forge, a whole different set of games grew out of it. Hundreds of unique gametypes grew out of the huge amount of tweaking allowed from the custom game option, and the meh forge tool. Stuff like Fat kid (one incredibly strong and extremely slow player with melee weapons chases weak shieldless players armed with heavy weapons through an obstacle filled maze), Trash compactor (one player chucks vehicles and loose objects down a tube and they're propelled by a gravity cannon into a narrow hallway where the rest of the players have to dodge it all and climb the debris to get to the guy), Dodge ball (two different teams on far spaced floating platforms throw sticky grenades at each other and AOE damage is dampened), and many more. Some of my most fond memories of Halo don't actually involve the vanilla game.
The thing is, this does represent the evolution that I would desire from all games in the future. Persistant leveling, weapon unlocks, or any kind of reward system is fine as a set of tools to let the player interact with the world, but it means nothing if you're doing it in a tube or can only use them to do one or two things (many recent shooters). What has kept me with Halo for the past decade is how the game is loose and simple enough for things to be completely repurposed. The discovery of warthog jumping in Halo 1 turned the whole campaign into a jungle gym. 40 meter high towers put there for decoration became landing zones. It was great. I want more of that in games. After all, that branching experience has always been how I defined "play". It brings me to the mindset that I had when I was ~12 playing outside with my friends. Red light green light would turn to tag would turn to slap boxing would turn to duck duck goose (mixed with slap boxing) would turn to tree climbing, and it would all be punctuated with those cheap frozen popsickle sticks. Say what you want, that's what I equate the Halo experience to. Halo is a game that refuses to stay being one thing. I put the disc in wanting to shoot an alien midget in the face, and end up playing anti gravity golf. I'm aware there are those who are only interested in the base game, and are put off by it. I understand the reasons why too, but the errors just don't get to me as much.
In conclusion: I like a game. I'm sorry.

Keep in mind this news site is trying to cash in on an article posted a few days after the Steam CDR thing, it's just re-quoting it for pageviews.
Oh this is actually from Eurogamer from yesterday, oops, they're probably still reiterating it for views still.
Yeah, but then again if this conversation was in that thread, it would kill the thread. I'd rather this one die than that one.
Just a thought, but wasn't it recently rumored that AMD would be providing the GPU's for the next gen consoles from Microsoft as well as providing the GPU for the PS4. Maybe the steam achievements hints at some involvement of AMD in this supposed Steambox that's been talked about?

I don't think I legitimately came across anyone that didn't like the Halo Campaign. It was just so.. fundamental in many ways. It's like the Star Wars of games.
