Why haven't they released any halo games on PC?
Do they hate money?

It's a console seller, plus they have CE, 2, and Halo Online on PC.
>>
>>322676624
Halo 1 and 2 are both on PC and have been for years. Halo 3 onwards are console exclusive and will remain that way forever. Or until a viable emulator gets made. Sorry brah.

Why do consoles still exist?

Wouldn't everything just be better if everyone made their games for the same platform and we didn't have exclusives?
Only handhelds actually offer a single thing that a PC can't, beyond the artificial monopoly created by the existence of exclusives.

Close, but not quite. While indeed dependably shipping a ton of units, Halo's true power is in actuality selling Gold LIVE subscriptions.

I had this pic on my Halo 3 file sharing page way back in the day. Good times thank you anon

>Why do consoles still exist?

They allow developers to breathe and develop for fixed hardware they get to know better as the years go on without having to optimize for millions of configurations so they can balance out costs (for your information, a modern videogame that isn't pixel shit has a 45% chance of costing more than a fucking CGI film ), you call this "generation".
>>
>>322676756
Wait can you still actually play 2 online on PC? or do you have to use gameranger?
>>
>>322679885

nigga what, xbox gold has more value in the "free" TV shit you get like hulu and shit like that, if you saw the charts back in 2012 it was even reported by microsoft that people used gold less for actual multiplayer gaming and more for multi-media services, it's pathetic
>>
>>322680518

You can play 2 online by connecting with H2 Shark, you don't even need a legit cd key anymore, just a xbox account lol.
>>
>>322680795
but you still need gold?

>>322680434
Games cost that much because most of the budget is spent on marketing.

Why would they
Halo is literally a console shooter. It can't deal with MKB, it was made explicitly to try to get around using MKB.

>>322678942
It has been leaked

the game feels really good as a twitchy arena shooter thoughq

You have no fucking idea how badly I want Halo 3 on PC.

I am 21 years old. The most fun I have ever had on a video game was Halo 3 customs. There was so fucking much you could do. I hated CoD because it was nothing but "shoot the guy". In Halo 3 you had Jenga, Journey, Fat kid, Wild goose chase, cops n' robbers, cat and mouse, Colosseum, Elephants in the sky. There were so many glitches and easter eggs that the last Easter egg to be found was literally discovered 7 years after the game came out in 2014. You could get Elephants to fly by cleverly attaching a Hornet to it, There were so many ways to get out of the map and secrets there that showed you were supposed to get there. It was fucking increadible. The least casual big hitter AAA game to have ever come out.

They're working on pulling the Halo 3 files out of Halo Online.

However, Eldorito (Halo: Online without the p2w), is making a large amount of progress, new maps coming too.

Halo 3 was released in 2007 though and it remained fiercly active for years. That's a lot of months that millions of players had to pay the sub free for. And that's not even mentioning the subsequent games.
Obviously Halo's popularity and draw as the premier multiplayer game has steadily vaned but that was at the time the undoubted reason why a PC port never came.
>>
>>322682846
Does it have it's own server thing like Halo 2 or is it through gameranger?
>>
>>322676624
because the retards who would buy those games have call of duty already
>>
>>322682846
Will it be able to be modded like Custom Edition was?
>>
>>322676624
Microsoft pays them more than what they would earn on PC. Simple stuff.

The PC market is actually tiny compared to the console market for triple A titles.
>>
>>322683353

People like to blame Halo as the reason FPS games turned to shit, but even then they still had a lot more to them than CoD, with high mobility, and high time to kill required, even if an opponent got the drop on you, unless they had a power weapon, you still had a chance to pull out of any fight, unlike CoD where it's a game of who sees who first.

Combat Evolved and Halo Reach even gave you a layer of non-regenerating health underneath your shields that made you much weaker once your shield popped unless you got a health kit.
>>
>>322676624
custom games on pc would be amazing

but halo still somehow ships xbones. anyone know how many xbones were sold in correlation to the release of mcc? microsoft must make a shit ton if they don't even bother with a pc release.

I know exactly how you feel. Whenever anyone says Halo 2 was the last good Halo multiplayer I feel like hatefucking their armpits until they die.
>>
I'm more interested in knowing if mostly single player games cost more to port than they usually make. And if they do make more money then this opens up a lot of questions.
>>
>>322682256
go play CE
even if everyone speaks Spanish, it's still fun
haven't encountered any BRs or anything (no one is speaking Portuguese)
