Re: New Thread, Same Old Story

In Response To: New Thread, Same Old Story (Matt)

: We still plan to do a Mac and PC version of Halo, but there are a lot of
: questions that must be answered before we can make the Mac/PC
: versions happen. It's like driving across town to a friend's house. You
: could take the highway, but it's rush hour; maybe it would be better to
: take side streets? Do you have enough gas for the trip, or do you need
: to make a side trip to a gas station? Can you park on his street for free
: or do you need to bring cash for a parking garage? These are all
: important questions...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I think what is rankling some people is that Matt's post comes across sounding like Clinton defining what "sex" is and isn't. I mean, it's clear, but then he wouldn't just say it, either. Sort of the same thing here. Bungie "plans" to do a Halo version, but that doesn't say that it may not be:

1. Financially possible, if M$ decides a lower priority (supposing that M$ has some say in this).
2. Be tied too closely to the XCrock features that a port experience would be so degraded that it would suck hard.
3. When push comes to shove, Bungie get's shoved and all their "plans" are for naught.

Of course, I'm still smarting from my percieved sellout of Bungie to the Evil Empire. I know that everyone is way too tired of hearing that, but hey, I can't change how I feel about certain things, get over it. Time will tell if Bungie can walk the walk after talking the talk. I'm willing to defer the doubt and give them the chance to prove me wrong. In which case, I'll gladly be shelling out my dinero for a MacOS X port of Halo, eagerly even.

I look forward to being proved wrong.
