Poll: Should Halo be on PC and/or PS3

[lukemdizzle]

No, the Halo series is an unfun mess. It needs to be destroyed.

this is why all halo threads turn into flame wars.

The story is boring with no interesting characters. The multiplayers community is just a pain to listen to and the only redeeming feature to the game is forge.

not that your entitled to your opinions even though you present them in a way that basically says if you like halo your an idiot. its that the thread does not ask for your opinion on the game. It asks if it should be on different consoles yet you make fun of it to instigate a reaction. hence this is why all halo threads turn into flame wars

i could see to pc but ps3 is a big no no, it wouldn't go over well and idk what the prices and whatnot would be trying to get that onto the ps3...

microsoft would have to eat shit and burn in hell before they would let halo go to ps3.

(Regarding PS3 only) It would be nice from a Gamers perspective. At best, you can play a popular game without investing in an X Box, at worst you just don't buy it. For a consumer, there's no reason not to. For Microsoft, they would make a little bit of money from sales, and then lose a major incentive for buying a 360 in the first place. It doesn't make business sense. I don't think there's any more elaboration to be done. It be fine, but it won't happen.

(Regarding PC) Eh. I guess there's no reason not to. Assuming porting the game isn't too crazy
expensive, there's probably enough PC gamers out there who are kinda curious and will pick it up for 20 bucks. Id probably give it a shot on PC if it were on sale for $10. And PC is kinda outside of the console competition, so it makes business sense. If you do, fine, and I suppose they just might.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

no because all consoles need a reason to own them. If all games were multiplatform wouldnt you buy the cheapest one out.

I thought Halo 1 or something was on PC? anyway, I voted no, and I only got a PC and PS3. Why did I vote no then, you ask? Simply put, because exclusives should stay exclusives... what if InFamous or MGS4 had been ported over? It would surely mark the end of the world as we know it, and mark the beginning of an era without exclusives! THE HORROR!

 

[Esspytood]

i dont think halo should be multiplatform

i think LIMBO should be multiplatform.

and i think Megaman Zero should be multiplatform.

and i think yeti sports should be multiplatform.

...

and i think the COD games should be confined to the xbox, and out of my life.

but all my arguments ever are irrelevant because i AM multiplatform... 'cept for iOS.

...and android.

Do you think that Halo 3, Halo: ODST & Halo Reach should be on PC and/or PS3 and if not why?

Halo 1 and 2 were on PC.

The PC gaming world reacted with a resounding 'meh'.

Both ports took a long time to come out and when they did only served to highlight the difference between how the average pc shooter work to how consoles do it.
Halo CE was alright as it was and still is a simple, fun game.

Halo 2 was very bad. Microsoft made it Vista only and to begin with tried to charge money for access to GFWL, only for a few months but long enough to kill off Halo 2 PCs slim chance of any decent sales. It was also fixed in widescreen only. Plus (!) it also came out in 2007, so it went up against the release Halo 3 on Xbox and The Orange Box/Modern Warfare on PC, which well and truly sank it.

Halo and PC just don't play nice together, the sales didn't justify the cost. PS3 is a non starter for many many reasons.

 

[judas prick]

i have all 3 consoles so i dont really care but ill stick up for xbox cause to me the PS3 was the biggest disappointment since the phantom menace.

 

[Legendairy314]

More games for more people. How is this a bad thing?

 

[BoxCutter]

Yes, and inFamous and Killzone should be on the 360. I still thinking having exclusives is an interesting idea and that it likely won't ever go away. But every year Sony and Microsoft should "swap" two games. PS3 gets Mass Effect 2, 360 gets inFamous (or something like that anyways).

That would greatly please me, and it would help stem fanboyism.

 

[Nailz]

Troll Poll!
I had to say something because this is the most stupid poll I've seen in a while.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Well, I don't really care, have it on XBOX 360 and honestly there are far better games.

 

[Piflik]

Couldn't care less...there are more than enough generic shooters on OS3 and PC...Halo wouldn't make a tad of a difference...

 

[TPiddy]

Do you think that Halo 3, Halo: ODST & Halo Reach should be on PC and/or PS3 and if not why?

No, the 360 only crowd had to sit here and watch as God of War III and Heavy Rain were released on PS3, so now the PS3 owners can sit there and watch as Halo: Reach comes out.

 

[Fortuan]

The 360 is sort of short on big-name exclusives nowadays, so it just wouldn't be right to share. Aside from that, Halo is the cornerstone of the Xbox brand and if it went multiplatform (aside from PC) it would make the 360 sort of... superfluous.

Sort of a silly question, anyway, since Microsoft will never, ever, let Halo go.

I would love to see it on ps3 but I do agree Microsoft will hang onto Halo tighter than corporationally possible.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

If you start taking away exclusives, you get decreased competition meaning lower quality, soulless products that start to cost more. Monopolies look good on paper but people tend to fuck things up.

 

[Woodsey]

Couldn't care less.

Do any PC/PS3 players really feel left out by not having it?

 

[UnravThreads]

Ever heard of Fable? I know Fable 3 will be on PC, but it will be on Microsofts Games on Demand service only.

Nope. It's going to be retail and GoD.

Halo 1+2 are, but we really don't need the rest. I wouldn't say Halo 3, ODST, Wars and Reach shouldn't be on PC, but I think it's best summed up as there's no need for them to be on PC. Whilst it's a heavy hitting brand name, to most PC users it's a series that gets little attention, and it's unnecessary. We have a lot of FPS games as it is, both single and multiplayer. We also have a lot of RTS games, so Halo Wars would be unnecessary.

Do any PC players really feel left out by not having it?

As a PC gamer, I think it's more to do with Microsoft not continuing the series. We had Halo 1 and Halo 2, yet nothing else. We had Gears of War, but not 2 or 3. We had Fable, but no Fable 2 (but we're getting Fable 3). Bit annoying, really.

 

[NBSRDan]

Halo already has a PC port and that worked out fine. I'd have no problem with a PS3 version but Microsoft probably would.

 

[William Dickbringer]

only pc the ps3 got mass effect 2 they don't need another exclusive then they'll go bragging about it and saying "where's your exclusives now?" I look at it from a less annoying perspective not from a fanboy of 360 perspective
