Halo for the PC and Mac
smelialichu writes "According to this news article, Halo is finally on its way to the PC and Mac. Gearbox is handling the PC version, and Westlak Interactive is working on the Mac version, but it won't be released untill next summer. The official announcement says "Halo for PC is expected to be available in summer 2003. The Macintosh version is also expected to be available in 2003. Additional information regarding game content, features and enhancements will be announced at a later date." We can only assume they have some cool new features up their sleeves, maybe we'll be seeing Halo with even better graphics, optimized for the new Radeon? Anyway, this is certainly a huge relief to many gamers who thought they may never see Halo on their home PC's."
And it only took MS 3 years to get a PC version of a game originally developed for the PC.
This has been a test. Had this been a real emergency, we would have fled in terror and you would not have been informed.
Please don't port Halo over to the PC/Mac... Then people will never know the joys of trying to play it with a 5-friggin-pound controller bigger than their own heads.
I don't think it's the force-feedback that causes carpal-tunnel... I think it's just caused by holding that damn controller for hours.

It just won't be the same. I mean how can you get the same X-Box experience by playing Halo with a halfway decent controller?
