[QUOTE=ThePanther;39478352]Yay! Halo 2 & 3 for PC![/QUOTE] Microsoft said they didn't have any plans for it. Sorry.
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;39477993]When did I call the hardware crap? If I were you I'd read the post again. I said that the part of your statement about it is crap, as in untrue or incorrect. Microsoft gains much more profit by encouraging the sale of their hardware via exclusives than it does by supporting PC gaming. And while in my own opinion PCs are the best platform I completely appreciate consoles and their ability to deliver a good experience, I prefer the openness and customization of PC. And my PC isn't even above lower to mid-range, and didn't even cost more than a few hundred so whatever you say. And I realize it was originally on Mac, but let's not be crazy here and assume Microsoft would ever want to put Halo on the Mac. Halo 2 was to sell Vista, putting Halo 3 would only hurt them by that logic of trying to encourage OS sales. I'm personally a bit offended that you seriously felt a need to pull the baseless "PC elitist" card as if I was calling all console gamers dumb or insulting the console, I was stating how it strikes me as selfish to insist that a certain game be exclusive to a certain console for no real reason, denying potential fans access to something you obviously enjoy as well. And it's not even crazy to ask for a port, we got the first two games, so it's not like what I'm asking for is crazy or impossible. And then invoking the whole "you'll rate me dumb" just strikes me as a bit immature, seriously?[/QUOTE] eh, sorry. I read the "hardware part is crap" as "the hardware parts is crap" and I just didn't like how you said that it was previously on PC before it moved to the console should be a reason why it should be released at the same time as console. I guess I jumped to conclusions about you being "Glorious PC Gamer master race" But you have to realize that the moment PC gamers start getting exclusives like Halo on their PC's at the same time as the actual console exclusive, the majority will take the oppurtunity to rub it in everyone else's faces as a justification as to why PC gaming masterrace I know I'm being extremely and irrationally selfish here when I say this but I don't want them to have that pleasure

[QUOTE=jordguitar;39479240]Lets break this down That means that they can change their minds and suddenly have plans (or already have plans but not ready to go public with them) Basically, a game ruined by 12 year olds could still come to steam[/QUOTE] What? you want the game to be ruined by 12 year olds TWICE?
I wonder how absurdly OP the Sniper Rifle would be on H3PC.
Why did any of you think the Xbox's killer app would be on steam, seriously? Halo sells consoles. Halo will always be the Xbox's baby.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479709]Why did any of you think the Xbox's killer app would be on steam, seriously? Halo sells consoles. Halo will always be the Xbox's baby.[/QUOTE] I don't think Halo 1-3 are selling any Xboxes today. Maybe Halo 3, but so few that it doesn't matter (not that they'd have any way of knowing anyway).
also second point why would anyone get excited about Halo 3 halo is mediocre at best if you want good shooters please look harder than Halo
I dislike Halo as well, but it's certainly not a bad shooter.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479744]also second point why would anyone get excited about Halo 3 halo is mediocre at best if you want good shooters please look harder than Halo[/QUOTE] Your recommendation for Fallout: New Vegas: "If you haven't bought this, well, then you're a complete silly since this is one of the best games I've ever played." Let's listen to this man, people. He clearly knows what he's talking about.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479744]also second point why would anyone get excited about Halo 3 halo is mediocre at best if you want good shooters please look harder than Halo[/QUOTE] Are you fucking kidding me Great Story Awesome soundtrack unique gameplay elements solid multiplayer gameplay dafuq are you smoking if anything I'd say it and Half Life 2 are on the same level
[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479709]Why did any of you think the Xbox's killer app would be on steam, seriously? Halo sells consoles. Halo will always be the Xbox's baby.[/QUOTE] Leaving out Halo 3 after porting 1 and 2 is silly, and I'm pretty sure no one buys a whole xbox for 3 anymore, only Reach (few people) and Halo 4
I can't be in this thread anymore Halo is a decent training wheel for your shooter bicycle [quote]unique gameplay elements[/quote] would these be shooting things

[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479805]I can't be in this thread anymore Halo is a decent training wheel for your shooter bicycle would these be shooting things[/QUOTE] Funny that you try to rag on Halo 3's gameplay not being unique. Again, from your Fallout: New Vegas recommendation: "[B]Gameplay is almost identical to Fallout 3[/B], with a few new features. The DLC is great, and it's just fantastic.[i] Buy this now.[/i]" :v: [editline]5th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sardonus;39479821]>new vegas >bad >halo 3 >good [img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3tTipvyIj69hqSQJHxmCARRDsTY-F8qn3q4O0lW4hLsdPXe3g6A[/img][/QUOTE] I think it's time for you to leave, and never come back
[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479744]also second point why would anyone get excited about Halo 3 halo is mediocre at best if you want good shooters please look harder than Halo[/QUOTE] Nah, Halo 3's Campaign was absolutely amazing. Gigantic in scale, amazing encounters(Scarab battles were DELICIOUS), and just constantly fun. One of the best console shooters I've ever played.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479805]I can't be in this thread anymore Halo is a decent training wheel for your shooter bicycle[/QUOTE] Excuse me while I enter VATS to take out all of my enemies with my superior skill and gaming experience.
right for starts Vegas is an RPG to begin with so comparing it to Halo is kind of a lost cause to begin with but really Halo 3 is just another generic as fuck shooter bulky space marheen protecting earth from ALEENs and he's letting his GUN DO THE TALKING with his 2 guns and regenerating health NEVER BEEN DONE A++++ I like that the way Facepunch works is if you have an opinion against the popular opinon you're obviously an unopinionated fucktard it's not possibly that maybe people just don't like Halo. In a industry full of creativity and excitement why settle for space marines shooting each other?

[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479805]I can't be in this thread anymore[/QUOTE] Just ignore the troll; hopefully the mods will sort it out. Anyway, have we actually seen any proof of said Microsoft spokesperson? All I can find is the Kotaku article and there's no way in hell I can consider them a legitimate source. For all we know, some random schmuck could have emailed them pretending to be a Microsoft official (wouldn't be the first time either).
[QUOTE=BFG9000;39479907]yes, why just why Says the guy with a Mass Effect 3 avatar[/QUOTE] First Mass Effect is insanely good, 2 is good tier 3 is shit tier I swear Mass Effect became retroactively bad just becuase of fucktards complaining about the ending. 3 was awful but not cause of the ending it was just generallly bad and corporate people seem to forget how awe-inspiring and fun the first 2 are

Its an excellent RPG but just like fallout 3 its gunplay and combat in general was lacking.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;39479927]>obvious troll >just because I don't like Halo[/QUOTE] No, it's more you shit out 'gems' like this: [QUOTE=Sardonus;39479821]>new vegas >bad >halo 3 >good [img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3tTipvyIj69hqSQJHxmCARRDsTY-F8qn3q4O0lW4hLsdPXe3g6A[/img][/QUOTE] that makes people think you're stupid, rather than your dislike of Halo.
