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."

Re:3 years in the making; finally

Ahhh that's right. The p3 550 was the 'minimum requirement', and it started a huge debate on the game site that I frequented. Anybody remember next-generation.com (later called dailyradar.com)? Heh.

People were upset that the minimum requirements were so high at the time. Assuming that's true (and who knows, right?) that would have been rather steep in the year 2000. Personally, I think they made a good choice with XBOX. Halo will probably be purchased frequently for the next two years. That's harder to do on a PC where the market is already over-saturated with FPS shooters.

About your sig:

"chmod a+x /bin/laden" -- My boss used to have a poster on his wall that was similar: 'rm -f /bin/laden'

Heh. I hope I quoted it properly. :)
