Halo 3: ODST For PC?
It's probably way to early to ask this but is there a possibility of ODST coming to the PC if Halo 3 is eventually released to the PC? I'd like the convenience of having all the Halo games on both the Xbox 360 and the PC.
I know Halo 3 hasn't been released to the PC yet but it's very likely it will. And if it is, wat about ODST? Will it be released in a similar way as a standalone game like for the 360? Or would it be like an expansion pack where you need the original game like most PC expansion packs?
PS. I pre-ordered ODST and can't wait to play as Sgt. Johnson! Yes, that's the only reason why I pre-ordered.

Not in a million years. Microsoft have to release Halo 3 for PC before they even consider releasing ODST and I see no evidence of Halo 3 surfacing on PC anytime soon. Additional to that, no matter what Bungie say on the matter, Microsoft will want to maximise profit. Even if by some miracle PC users got Halo 3, I could still see ODST being sold seperatly and not as a double pack. This would result in an even LONGER wait for ODST PC. As I said, it would be nice for Microsoft to cater for the PC only Halo fans (although they are now few and far between) but it won't happen.[/quote] Wouldn't making a PC port help Microsoft milk more money out of Halo 3? [/quote] No because the fan base isn't there. The only reason Gears 1 and Halo 2 were put onto GFW was because Microsoft needed to give PC gamers an incentive to upgrade to Vista and GFW. Unfortunately the plan failed. EPICALLY. That's why GFW has seen no big 360 titles ported to it since Gears. Both Gears 1 and Halo 2 had PC exclusive features and yet the sales still slumped. Microsoft propably spent more money on marketing etc than they made back from Gears 1 and Halo 2 PC. Think about what Microsoft would have to do to get people to invest in Halo 3 and ODST PC. It just won't happen.[/quote] lol i bought a whole new computer with Vista to get Halo 2 PC and I don't regret it one bit. I would've upgraded eventually with or without Halo 2 PC so it didn't really matter. [/quote] Thats fair enough but you must realise that you represent the minority? GFW gaming is adequetly more expensive than any other gaming platform as not only do you have to pay to play online but the hardware is also more expensive, especially if you want to run a game at its best. People prefer the ease and familiarity of console gaming, and Microsoft aren't going to make Halo 3 and ODST PC just because you took the plunge and upgraded. You can hold hope if you want but it just won't happen for as long as Microsoft have any business sense.[/quote] Actually, Games For Windows Live gaming is free to play online now.
