Halo2 (PC) release
Posted By: Bill Huebner <bill.huebner@tenethealth.com>Date: 3/17/04 5:01 p.m.

**puts on flame resistant shorts*** I tried searching, honest I did. With keywords of "halo 2 pc version release", you can imagine how long the search was taking. Poor Louis probably noticed the server groaning.... anyway....

I'm a regular reader, seldom poster and have not seen this idea discussed.

Is it at all possible that the Halo 2 release delays might be due to Bungie trying to pull off a "hat-trick"? Has anyone from Bungie officially said "the initial release will be X-Box only, with the PC/Mac release coming later, just like Halo/CE"? After all of the heat that was caused by the less than satisfactory PC port, perhaps Bungie decided to do it all themselves and make a Bungie title that was not ported, but done to their satisfaction on all intended platforms?

Releasing Halo 2 for X-box, PC and Mac simultaneously would prevent/solve all of the difficulties that occured with another company performing a port. (no finger-pointing, just stating the obvious) Sales would absolutely KILL. I know that I would end up with 3 copies (1 for my PC, 1 for my gf's, and an XBox copy for when we wanted to play co-op while lounging on the couch). Consolers and PC gamers would get their teeth into it at the same time, not years later.

Anyway, it's wishful thinking in the form of a question. "Alex, can I have videogames where you play as an AI guided cyborg fighting alien hordes for $1,000 please?"
