    Will this be hitting the PC?

    The advert is what Microsoft do best produce a heartstopping movie to grab you and then plonk Not Actual Gameplay at the bottom in small print displayed for half a second. Looking at the screenies though the graphics makes it look near enough the same quality.

    I was reading a while back that it was coming to the PC but notice the release in September is only for the Xbox 360.

    Loved Halo 3 hated ODST. Will the final be as good as it should be?

    Have to wait until 9/14 to find out, but from videos on online play it looks to be amazing. Since it's the last one Bungee is doing I'm assuming they're going to go out with a bang. As far as availability for PC goes, it'll probably be a while before its made available.

    Seeing as the market for PC games is slowing down a lot, and since Halo 3 hasn't come out for PC, I highly doubt it.

    In several interviews the developers have stated they will be going back to their roots, the PC made this series great with Halo: Combat Evolved so I don't see why they wouldn't give the PC community it's due! If that rational fails, it would still make sense financially, I would imagine this would be a hot seller on the PC.

    Halo: Combat Evolved originally came out for the XBox as a launch title, and that's from where its success and popularity generated. It didn't reach the PC platform until two years later.

    Truth! I meant more along the lines of the PC community being much more supportive of each other, halo on xbox is like halo on 360, a rage fest of kids learning how fun it is to swear! I was first introduced to halo on the xbox but the PC version was a greater experience by far in my opinion. Gaming for me has always been a challenge on consoles, none of my friends game, and consoles are generally an unpleasant experience playing with strangers. The PC was always my gateway to fun, meeting great players like you guys ;) , and with great forum support and user created content, why not enjoy Bungies farewell to Halo on the PC!?
