> Read the bulletin this week. It says they are concerned with pushing out MCC on X1. After that, you can ask them to consider their viewpoint.
I read the Bulletin, and until I hear something more concrete from them, I’m still going to roll like they have no plans, because for all I could know,after Halo MCC is released, they could come out and say “NO! We’re going to wait a few more years down the road before even thinking about a PC release!”.
> Sorry mate, but for the foreseeable future, it’s not happening. I’m not against it happening, I’m no exclusive purist guy, but for now, it may be better to wait.
And this is a problem, because as I’ve pointed out before, in this thread or another thread, Xbox Players KNOW they’re getting Halo 5, and 6, they’ve known this since before Halo 4’s release. Since Halo 2’s release, PC players know NOTHING about rather or not they’ll see another Halo PC game.

Granted the Xbox One uses the same architecture as PC’s do, I see them finishing Halo:MCC on Xbox One and finishing their touch-ups on the Halo 5 beta, following the feedback and finishing Halo 5. After all that, go start working on a PC port for MCC. But as of right now, I don’t see it happening until around 2016.

> But a port does not require a full team, you would need some coders and testers yes, but besides that not much. Even if that did delay halo 5 by a little, that’s a good thing. that means QA has more time to find bugs and level designers can go over and revamp levels to be more interesting, maybe even add some more multiplayer ones.

> plus, a port might not even need 343 to get directly involved at all and take time away from Halo 5. They could probably get Saber to create a PC port after the game is finalized. Maybe even get Skybox labs(they’ve been updating the old ensamble RTS’s and releasing them on steam) to do a port. and for anyone who doesn’t know Ensamble RTS’s are microsoft games.
This is true, 343i’s main team is currently working on Halo 5, BUT Saber is working on Halo MCC, and if Saber finishes with MCC, and turns around and ports it to the PC, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for them, and wouldn’t require them, or 343i to wait until Halo 6, and what ever other Halo games they have planed. HELL, 343i could have the next 15 years of Halo planned out for Xbox, BUT waiting 15 years for another Halo game on the PC just isn’t something that many Halo PC fans want to hear.
Right now, I get the feeling that EVERYONE on these forums just flat out hate loath PC players, and the idea of Halo on the PC, and the more I hear “products they are already working on then throwing out a bone to the PC crowd just to quiet them” and “I’d rather them finish the current projects before working on a PC release, which they haven’t even started yet” the more it feels like everyone wants 343i to wait another 10+ years just for them to turn around and say no, or “maybe when it’s the right time”, which honestly has been the biggest thorn in my side. You guys do realize that after Halo 5 is released, they’ll be working on Halo 6, and so on, Halo isn’t going to end until Microsoft says so, and I bet you that after each game, you’ll have the exact same threads, asking for more Halo games on the PC, and you’ll have people who respond with “Let 343i finish with the current and planed projects first”.
Okay, maybe Halo PC is never going to happen, maybe it’s worse than Half Life 3, maybe it’s just a myth, maybe I should spend my time and energy chasing big foot and getting the general public to agree that big foot is real, than trying get both the Halo community AND it’s developers to actually acknowledge Halo PC and it’s player/fan base, and actually release more Halo games on the PC. Because it’s obvious to me, that no matter how many posts, how many words, excuses, theories, ideas, concepts, and/or points I make, there’ll always be someone who has the “Xbox comes first, PC players can go F**K them selves” state of mind.
Halo is an Xbox exclusive, I realize that, I’m not stupid, I can read, and I’ve known this since day one. BUT no matter how many times people say it, Halo CE and Halo 2 on the PC leave me questioning, what’s the point of releasing those titles? to give in to demands of the players? Is that how Bungie, 343i, and Microsoft do things? give in to Demand?
So I guess I feel that the concept of Halo on the PC is over with, because based on the feelings I’m getting from everyone, and from statement from 343i, it’s not going to happen.
So, someone please explain to me WHY do I keep on posting, trying to change people’s minds? To try to get another Halo game on the PC?
