"Oh look a better debut for a game!...Oh god shit looks ugly this whole game is ugly this is a flop fuck [insert developer] and their shit they're doing everything wrong omg I know so much more than them."

...What the fuck am I reading in this thread? Mighty fucking Moses have some bloody patience and wait for more gameplay and information before you go spitting out all this bullshit "critique." It seems like this forum hates every new damn game that ever existed, and yet in the end you all still play it anywhere.

Yes how dare anybody state perfectly valid concerns about an upcoming game

They should also just give in and put it on PS3 as well. Halo is a cash cow, but I don't think any future Halo games are going to be as hyped and sell as well as Halo 2 and 3.

Isn't 343i underneath Microsoft?

[Hotrod]

PC?

My comment about the 360 is because the hardware will undoubtedly hamper their ability to make it shine visually. If Bungie couldn't do it, I don't have much faith in 343i unless they are licensing CryEngine3 or something similar. I sincerely doubt that the Chief will look that good in the finished product.

Having Halo 4 on PC would take away from the Xbox's sales/attention, Microsoft would never do that.

[Warsaw]

Of course it would. But they could have also held off until the next Xbox was ready and used Halo 4 as a launch title.

Yes.

And this is what I don't understand. The Xbox 360 is approaching EOL. Anyone who wants an Xbox 360 for Halo already has one. They would have bought it for any of the past 3 games that came out for the console. They aren't going to make any significant number of console sales by making it Xbox only. However, they are shutting out the PS3 and PC owners who either have an Xbox and refuse to pay for multiplayer, or have no intention of ever buying an Xbox. Look at Call of Duty sales...the game is multiplatform and it's crushing all exclusive game sale records. Also, the money is in the actual sale of games, not the hardware. The whole concept of exclusive games, especially on OLD HARDWARE, and even more-so when you are COMPETING WITH OTHER SERIES, is FUCKING STUPID.

Yes.

This times about a million. I like where the game is going. But I don't like this whole huge fucking idea that exclusive games still matter. I am the type who will buy whatever console comes out at the lowest price next generation. No. Matter. What. Other than Halo, I only play console games that are multiplatform like Skyrim, Batman, NCAA Football (cuz fuck Madden, its shit), and... Thats really it. FPS games suck fucking dick on consoles. Playing an FPS on PC is where its at. All I care about going forward is pricing.

I think it's fair to say that Halo will never ever ever show up on the PS3. Microsoft would never let it.

Especially since the PS3 is their only serious competition. The Wii may have sold better, but I would say that everyone over 12 and under 40 doesn't give two shits about it.

I personally think we'll get a PC release, based simply on the apparent decline of console gaming.\
But it'll likely be GFWL with no editing kit.
And Mont Blanc is delicious.

[samnwck]

I wouldn't count on it, and if so it wouldn't surprise me if they just used it as a ploy to move windows 8 sales or something, assuming windows 8 is out by then. And as you said it will probably not have an editing kit, or at least a decent one. I'd rather have no pc port rather than have one that just let me down anyway.
