finally in college and the same old RTS addict that i am. been modding for C&C3 tiberium wars lately, and doing some a little step up in challenging myself in 3d modelling. from doing tanks i currently am modelling gundams, in the hopes of being able to establish a gundam-based game on the UDK after i master animation and texturing ;) but i doubt that's gonna be any time soon..

Report RSS halo series says goodbye to PC

Posted by on

ah yes, old scrap of news.. i'm gonna bring it up anyway since i can't get it off my head no matter what i do.

halo: one of the most revolutionary FPS games of the 21st century that transformed the meaning of combat and turned every non-gamer to a hardcore gamer. its first installment: halo combat evolved launched into the Xbox, then later to the PC supporting online gaming that widened the gaming experience of the game. then a few years later, halo two was released, continuing the story that masterchief left unfinished. with a fully hauled graphics, new weapons and new enemies, halo two was one that kept the gamers begging for more. another few years later, halo three released to the Xbox 360 and wowed the crowd and forced them to make smiles that reached the backs of their heads, but alas, PC gamers do not get anything that is labeled "halo 3" other than a soundtrack and a wallpaper. that was a clear message that halo was saying goodbye to the PC, leaving PC gamers who do not own Xbox 360s to cry themselves to sleep and envy the Xbox gamers.

as time progressed, more of the ever successful halo series were released, such as halo 3 ODST, halo wars and halo reach, and two more games coming in the next few years. and as time progressed, PC gamers cried to put halo in PC. some, to solve the dilemma, attempted to create an xbox 360 emulator for the PC, but sad to say that it required more than just mere software. it required expensive hardware as well. as fans wait for halo to say hello again to the PC, they would have to cry themselves to sleep seeing Xbox gamers play halo reach on their LED tv sets and Xbox 360s.

Wonderful exposition, comrade.

As you might have figured out by now, Microsoft as a firm produces mostly software, but not that much hardware; when it comes to full systems they do produce something - the XBOX 360 itself.

Halo being Bungie's flagship and thus also Microsoft's, they would be VERY dumb to not restrict the newer games to the XBOX 360 to artificially boost sales, because this is the sole reason "exclusive" titles exist to begin with.

i get it now... exclusive titles earn a lot. though it still depresses me to not see the rest of the halo series on the PC platform.
