Halo 3 for PC comes out Julay 14th. This update should come with a fix for reach's sound issues

One of the best things 343/Microsoft has done is bring Halo to PCs, the way God intended it to be. Nothing against consoles but I could never get in the habit of using joysticks, my aim would consistently suck dick.

It's still a progress. They're not finished yet and there is bugs but something is better than nothing.

Will it come with an actual Final Boss this time?

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

Will it come with an actual Final Boss this time?

Yes it comes with the Marauder Shields DLC

Still a better last level than "drive across an exploding Halo..again.."

 

[HeyYou]

Halo 3 is out and the port is actually decent this time. Countdown to 343's next fuck up reset.

 

[HeyYou]

Sorry to doublepost, but you can fly Sabres and Seraphs in Forge. They must have consulted with the mod authors who made them flyable or otherwise figured it out themselves. So, yes, you can build dogfight maps now.

Seems like 343 actually done did good this time. Shit, I might actually nab Halo 3 on pc; I skimped out on Combat Evolved and 2 cuz I already have physical PC copies for those.

Would you guys recommend the pc port for Halo 3 then? Theres an awful lot of folks playing rn.

It's pretty fun so far. The netcode is still as shit as it was in the 360 days but the new Forge features are fun as hell and the campaign holds up pretty well.

 

[Vault Boy]

Thank god for those challenges, I finally got enough points to unlock the Mark V helmet for Reach.

Oh, and apparently the audio in Reach has been greatly improved with the patch too, so that's nice.

Laugh at me if you want, but as a kid who grew up with all the Playstations until 4, a GameCube and a Wii, until Halo hit PC I never tried it. I'm playing CE and like it so far, and I really dig how if you press tab it switches from the updated HD grafix to the old school original.

Also when is ODST coming out? That's the only one I remember as a kid spiking my interest, because instead of beefed up ubermensch in a super suit, you're just a loser who gets shot out of a perfectly fine spacecraft and armed with a peashooter expected to do amazing things. That and the trailer, with the Welsh music and Hungarian screaming. P.S. if you ever wanted a clear version of the ODST trailer music, for some reason that atrocious Arthur movie by Guy Ritchie has it on the soundtrack.

I'm not making this up.

It's coming this summer, along with ODST Firefight.

I'm going to guess around August since it was based off of 3, thus it shouldn't be that much more work for the dev team.

God what a great trailer.

Sometimes I think the best stuff to come out of the Halo franchise is the marketing campaigns.

I’ve always had fond memories of the original Halo trilogy. 3 in particular was just a hell of a ride and was my first online experience.

Since I no longer have a 360, I kinda want to get the MCC. I forgot though, aren’t you able to shift between the old graphics and new ones for the first two games? Kinda want to play them again but I’ve heard mixed things about the newer style.

Both Halo 1 and 2 have Anniversary modes you can toggle on the fly. Halo 1's quality is mixed, but Halo 2 is very impressive. Only problem both share, imho, is that sometimes the old map geometry (door meshes, cliffs, rocks, etc.) don't always line up with the new graphics. Other than that, I say they're both worth playing.

Also when is ODST coming out?

They said "this summer", it's the next on the list so either next month or early September.

Since 5 made bringing back killed off characters a thing with Cortana, Infinite might as well bring Johnson, Noble Six and the Rookie (who 343 killed off in a fucking book) and have them be co-op characters kind of like what Bungie did with 3. First mission? Activate the Anti-Son of Bitch Machine to bring back those three and then shitcan Fire Team Osiris.

All of them were killed pretty definitively. Johnson died in front of Chief and then blew up on the Ark (remember, Chief and Arbiter took his warthog), Noble Six got shot in the head and his body is definitively still on Reach by the epilogue, and iirc Buck saw the Rookie get shot and then they buried him. At least Cortana has the excuse of it being magic AI bullshit rather than being flesh and blood. And still, if they want to go back to good storytelling they should avoid twists like that. Cortana being alive is already done, nothing they can do to change that, but at least they can try to tell a simple story with no stupid twists from now on. If they have to bring someone back, 343 is canonically alive in the extended universe, and had a decent enough redemption story there.

Man, wouldn't that be a curveball for the fans that haven't been reading the latest books.

You know what Infinite could use? An in game codex that can help fill in the gaps, just like the one in Halo Wars 2.
