Halo 3 PC?

[Tuminatuh]

Not to be rude JoS, but......
PWN3D

Anywho I think that Halo 3 PC probably won't come out. Also, since Halo 2 isn't being developed for XP, that means that XP users are screwed. Sucks for us!!! Stupid Vista with its wizbangs and its whatcha-ma-call-its.....

lol, go back to your HL2 thread. You don't belong here!!!!
Also, that was off-topic and uncalled for. You are just asking for a flame war. I won't start one. Sorry!

Anyways, back on topic, just a thought. Imagine the SPECS for a game like Halo 3 PC. Prob a 6800 GT or X800 XT would be MINIMUM. It would also prob need a Min 3.4 GHz (or equivalent), and 1 Gig of RAM just to run smoothly.

Videoslave, that doesn't pertain to Halo 3 at all. If you wanna discuss Half-Life 3, do it in your own forum, or at least make a thread in General Gaming about Halo 3 vs. Half-Life 3. I do look forward to HL3, though.

Good call. It's about time people around here showed some maturity.

Oh, and a 6800GT or X800 XT won't nearly be good enough for Halo 3 PC. Halo 2 will be on Vista, which will require DirectX 10, and that's not even supported by those cards. If Halo 2 has such high requirements, I can't even begin to imagine what Halo 3 would take.

Well first off, those cards would be obsolete when H3 comes to PC (also, 1 terabyte cards become standard on PC's, Directx 13 would be out, and first stage Vertural Reality games will be released .) Now on to H3 PC, I hope there's co-op on it with custom maps (ie kinda like DooM 3's LMS mod check out http://lms.d3files.com for details as to what I'm trying to say) I frankly am non-to-thrilled with the lack of co-op on Halo, or the aparant imposiblility of making single player maps co-op ready. But we really shouldn't be talking about PC before the X-box version and H2 PC come out. then we can see what needs to be done to make H3 a good PC game. (oh yeah I forgot, cheats. I don't use god mode btw, i'd only use infinite ammo cheats and all weapons fire rockets... hmm that would be fun. bloody, but fun. I guess if you turn on that mode, you'll need godmode Oh, and flamethrower in single player. <<Flood)

<<<How I want Truth to die in the PC version of Halo 3: Directors cut.

Well, yeah that is true. Sorta depressing to think my 600 dollar card will be useless in 5 years. And I agree, PC Co-op would be a blast and it could EASILY be done. Look at DOOM 3 on XBOX! It pulled it off! Why can't Halo do online co-op?

I would love to see the flamethrower but it probably won't happen.

Halo 3's for pc's specs are obviosly for now just speculation. Needless to say it will require a powerfull pc. My (very) ruff estimate is

(min)
2.8ghz pentium 4 or athlon xp/65 equivalent
512mb of ram (rec) 1gb or higher
256mb Vcard (6800GT or X800 pro)
And yes a agiere PPU (Physics processing unit)


I say double these specs (for smooth gameplay)
Grab a new GPU or get your hands on a ton o cash (400 quid) and buy a mesh matrix or something (then upgrade it)

MAKE SURE YOUR READY

I still don't even see the point of discussing this before we really even know anything about Halo 2 for PC.

[Dr.Fritz]

Put it this way: Halo 2 for PC is supposed to come out in 09, or 07, (I dont remember which one) but Halo 3 is going to be a long way down the road.

[Zamamee]

Exactly. As far away as Halo 2 PC is, Halo 3 PC is going to be MUCH further.
