Re: Halo tools to be windows only?

In Response To: Halo tools to be windows only? (PsychoBean) good question, it upsets me a little that i can't make any UT levels, or Q3. Hopefully Peter can do somthing about it. mabye, if there are editors and good maps come out, other game makers might think making mac tools would be good? Look at WW2 for Myth, as far as i know it was made on a mac. Creation Games, i'm sure there are some mac's there. Vista, problaly macs. The way i see it as, Macs are for multimeida and graphics, so professionals use macs, and some play games and make professional quality additiions. Such as FM, i'm sure there's others but that's the only one that comes to mind. > It's been a long long time since I've posted here but I just had > to ask this and hope for some clarification. > Looking at the job opening posted on bungie's web page about the > tools programmer, I noticed that the qualifications are for MFC > (microsoft foundation classes?) and windows programming skills. > Now, although this hasn't been completely clarified, it's been > my understanding that Peter Tamte's new company was going to be > doing the mac port of halo.
