Halo PC FAQ Updated, Developers Interviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the as-god-originally-intended-it dept.

Thanks to several people for pointing out that the official Halo PC FAQ at Bungie.net has been updated. This relatively new FAQ includes info on a playable demo ("shortly after the game is released") and Mac version ("..in the capable hands of our friends at MacSoft and Westlake Interactive.. scheduled for a near simultaneous release with the PC version"), as well as previously-released info such as PC multiplayer-exclusive Fuel Rod Guns and Rocket Launcher Warthogs. In related news, Shacknews put out an interview with Gearbox president Randy Pitchford a couple of days back, offering a bunch of extra information on the PC debut of this originally-for-PC title.

    To quote the FAQ:
    Q Can gamers on the PC version of Halo play with Xbox gamers over XB Connect or some other method?
    A No, each version of Halo will only work with its own kind.

    Oh BOY. What the fruck are they thinking? There's ABSOLUTELY no reason why the PC and xbox version couldn't play nice together. The xbox is only a PC itself.
    Halo is a SHIT game as FPS's go. The only and *very important* reason I have for playing it is that all my non-geek xbox-owning friends play it a lot.
    They just lost a TON of halo sales in my opinion.
    Maybe it's because the mouse & keyboard combined with experienced quakers from the PC would PWNT the fruck out of all the lame xbox0rz.

    Is there any other possible reason for this astoundingly DUMB decision from Bungie?
