JJaX is right. Plus those are all just concept pics anyway. None from ingame which is why you have lots of 3rd person perspective on the Chief.

Its cool. I just wished people would read the entire thread b4 posting.

And Lynxfx, I think they did have that PC verision of the game running. Well at least they used that engine to create one of the early e3 videos. The one they debut when it was orginally planned for macintoshs. Where they run and and streal some key and escape in a warthog while being chased by banshees. You can dig it up here if your intrested:

Go to the bottom to see the older build of the game engine in action.

I didn't mean, totally not ingame. I meant not from the same perspective that you would have while playing the game. Like you said, they have the tools to setup the scene then move the camera to any angle to get their shots.

You have to beat it into them: THE HALO MAC/PC PROJECT WAS SCRAPPED WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED FOR XBOX

No, from JJaX's link and the Bungie FAQ


As stated above, the PC versions will most likely be out in 2002.
"Only on Xbox" means "Not on any other console".
It does NOT mean "Never coming to Mac or PC".
Halo WILL be coming to Mac and PC.
This has been confirmed, specifically, literally dozens of times by many Bungie employees, including Matt Soell (Community Liason), Jon Kimmich (Halo Product Planner), and Alex Seropian (co-founder of Bungie).

Even If this isn't it, I CANNOT WAIT for the PC version. NAh, why get the pc version if it is like the xbox one when I got a vga box!?

I think Bungie's FAQ is as up to date as you can get. Why don't you do some of your own research instead of just dismissing those that did theirs.

LYNXFX, Good work in here! At least someone in here knows WTF there talking about. Yeah, Id say Bungies FAQ is pretty solid evidence (Last updated February 5, 2002). Just let them create rumors and speculate when the facts are right in there face. ;)


AHAHAHHA Lookin at Halo pics form 99 "WOW HALO ON THE PC IS GONNA BE AWESOMe!!!"

Tools :rolleyes:

It seems you're correct. However, I'd still like to see a press release or something confirming it.

WoW Master Chief has a Rocket Launcher, I wonder why they took it out of the game. O well, maybe Halo 2 ;)

I think the PC version will be out early next year, I doubt that we'll see it this year if they don't show it in E3.

Not really, dude. There are two types of gamers...PC gamers and console gamers. Yes, I realize that there are many that play on both...but, either way, a gamer that plays both always prefers one over the other. I think it's great that Halo is coming out on the PC eventhough I won't buy it...and probably because I feel that PCs are primarily used for Word Processing, Business, and Internet use. But, that's just my opinion as I am primarily a console gamer. I like to be able to plug a game in and play knowing that my console will play it regardless of the specs on my computer. Also, nothing beats the comfort of a nice soft couch over a computer chair. But, that's just me :)

Why pay 1000-1500$ on a pc for a 50$ game that you can get for 350$ with an X-Box which has better graphics anyways? I think the answer speaks for itself. :rolleyes:

Because when you spend the dough on a PC you aren't spending it just to play that $50 game. When you buy a console, you are only buying it to play that $50 game. Big difference and hardly comparable.

I'm a hardcore PC gamer, well used to be. Slowed down this past couple generations. I bought the Xbox so I could play games that take advantage of the power of it as well as HD playing and DD 5.1 sound. But I will go back to PC gaming as well for the higher resolution and ultimately better 'looking' graphics of newer games coming. I will still enjoy some great console gaming as well.

Well I’m happy with the xbox, and when xbox succeeds according to plan, you can bet your life MS will limit the games to the pc and have them brought exclusively to the xbox first. That’s the Bill Gates way. So for me, i'm not worried about my $300.00 investment.
