Bungie Hiring PC Developers

Posted by Zonk on from the master-chief's-new-digs dept.

Gamespot reports that Halo-maker Bungie Studios is seeking PC developers for an unnamed project. From the article: "Taken in and of themselves, the listings are merely interesting. However, the wording of the graphics programmer job description has many positively convinced that Bungie is porting Halo 2 to the PC, in-house. 'This is an opportunity to influence the direction of Windows gaming technology in MGS [Microsoft Game Studios],' reads the post after first teasing, 'Want to work on the biggest franchises for Microsoft Game Studios?' Since becoming part of Microsoft Game Studios, Bungie has worked on only one franchise for the division--Halo."

    Halo 2 sold because it was the only thing to buy on the Xbox. A lot of Xbox owners hand't bought anything since the first Halo and were desperate for something so bad they were willing to line up for it late at night.

    That is why you hear so many other 360 owners talking about how they don't care about backwards compatibility outside of Halo/Halo 2.

    Halo 2 on the pc will bomb when faced with real competition. I can't imagine the paultry sales of the game will make up for the ill will MS/Bungie will get for letting their big exclusive no longer be exclusive to the Xbox.

    >This is also news to the fairly large group of people that unfortunatly purchased Gearbox's incredibly horrible port of Halo 1.

    The pc game is nothing more than a faithful port of a crappy game.
