Title: What do 2003, Microsoft and Gearbox have in common?
Post by: Fineus on July 13, 2002, 06:42:04 pm: They're all related to the PC/Mac edition of Halo!

That's right folks. Speculation is over, the date is set - Summer 2003. Gearbox will be porting over the X-Box giant to the PC (and the Mac I think...). I'm not sure what changes will be made but the article did indicate advancements of the multiplayer code.

Read 3DAPs article on the topic. (http://www.3dap.com/news/fullstory.asp?id=3650)

Horray!

P.S. And it was ours first, bloody X-Box stole it from us :mad2: :)

Post by: VW-Dynamo on July 14, 2002, 03:41:05 pm: I was going to post some wiseass comment about them taking so long to port it before I realized that most of their time will be spent on the multiplayer code. If they can write netcode that doesn't suck, I'll wait a year. :)

Post by: Admiral LSD on July 15, 2002, 01:23:16 pm: Halo, meh. Didn't look too appealing on the Xbox and I doubt it'll win me over on the PC. FPS have been done to death as a genre but unfortunately, its the only genre the PC is ideally suited for so publishers just keep churnin' 'em out.

Post by: Fineus on July 15, 2002, 04:07:34 pm: Unless Gearbox get clued up and give Halo all kinds of amazing stuff that the X-Box version doesn't have, thus drawing a much larger audience since even those with the X-Box edition might be tempted ;)
