Preview Of Halo For PC Finally Sighted

bmnc writes "After nearly a year in development by Gearbox Software, info for the PC version of Halo:Combat Evolved is finally available at Gamespy.com, in both single-player and multi-player flavors." This is absolutely a big deal, especially since Bungie have been intelligent enough to use Gearbox, FPS veterans who've been heavily involved with extending the Half-Life franchise in the past with Opposing Force and Blue Shift, to do a definitive PC version of Halo.

  1. Mac port? by Ziktar · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hmm... the article was pretty decent in coverage, but has MS officially dropped the Mac port, or will it be another 8 month wait for the followers of Steve?

    Especially given Bungie's solid Mac support, it truly is a shame they sold out...

  2. Myth??? by bobgoatcheese · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You completely left out the Myth series in your history of bungie! IMO Myth is easily the best RTS game I've ever played, focusing more on actual strategy using landforms and unit formations than resource gathering. Numerous mods and complete conversions have been released for Myth II and while Bungie no longer supports the game, popular fan run servers Play Myth and Marius Net still host mulitiplayer games, and Project Magma is still updating the game with bug fixes and enhancments in patches. Bungie actually forfeited the Myth franchise to Take2 during the Microsoft buy-out, much to the shagrin of us Myth fans, alas Myth III just doesn't have the same bite as the two previous titles. Don't forget this once great Bungie series in a history of the company!
