	In Response To: Re: Just out of curiousity... (archon) : Yeah, you're correct about that whole console devolopment thing, except for : the fact that Bungie themselves said that they didn't even have an xbox to : develope the game on for most of the time they worked on Halo... : Even IF Halo were designed with only the XBox in mind, a PC port would not be : that hard to do especially because of the similarities between the XBox : hardware and PC hardware, let alone DX8. You're right, it's trivial. Change two lines of code, recompile, boom you're done. They finished it on November 16th, actually. They've been sitting on it ever since, because Bill Gates wants to milk as much as he can from the Xbox version first. Hell, that's a lie. They finished it in 2000, just before the buyout. In fact, they play the PC version most of the time in the office, instead of working on games - in between laughing at how stupid fans are for believing how long it might take to do a port. Joke's on us, isn't it?
