In Response To: Platforms... (fatboy18)

: Okay, yes, I know ye olde "listen to Bungie" spiel... But doesn't
: anybody find it odd that Microsoft has made the "only for Xbox"
: mistake so many many times?

: I have my faith in Bungie for providing Halo eventually for us PC and Mac
: gamers... But ultimately, isn't it Microsoft's call?

: I'm worried...

Chicken Littles 'round the world will keep pointing to that little "Only On Xbox" icon like it is some kind of oracle even though we have explained the real situation in public numerous times.

I encourage you to avoid worrying about this non-issue.

There is no PC or Mac SKU yet; those products are not even in active development yet. There is no info, no hardware requirements list, no screenshots. Can you blame Microsoft for not putting PC Halo on their list of upcoming titles right now? I don't see Windows Whatever-Comes-After-XP listed on the Microsoft site either, but I don't see anyone claiming it won't exist.

The people champing at the bit to say "Halo isn't coming to computers, I told you so, nyah nyah" don't bother me, and they shouldn't bother you either. I don't claim omniscience but I know a bit more about the situation than they do. (Even the ones who "have the inside track with a high-ranking Microsoft official"!) Let 'em talk.
