Halo 3 on PC not in development... yet
"I can tell you for a fact that there's not one line of code written for a PC version at this point," says Bungie
Aug 16, 2007
Should Halo 3 not come out on PC, we'll eat our own hairy backs. Like flagship Xbox games Halo, Halo 2 and Gears of War before it, it's clearly going to end up on Windows.
However, Bungie says it's not even a twinkle in its eye at the moment - understandably so as it's approaching the release of Halo 3 on Microsoft's console.
Bungie's Frank O'Connor has told GameSpot: "We're not working on it, Microsoft hasn't even chatted to us about it yet. They realize the important thing is to get the 360 version [out] at this point."
We'd fully expect Halo 3 on PC to support cross-platform online play with Xbox 360 over Live, and for this reason we wouldn't be surprised if we saw a far shorter release gap between Halo 3 on 360 and PC that we saw with Halo and Halo 2 on PC and Xbox.
