You would think if MS wants GFWL to succeed they would add a high profile release like this to its lineup.  It seems evident that they have given up on this and put all its efforts on sucking more xbla subs out of peeps.  Oh and look a increase in price just in time for Reach.   
 
Where is my next Age of Empires MS oh ya you fucked that up and are making it a farmville style multiplayer game...thanks.  Please MS just kill that fucktard of a service and just tell us straight up your only baby is xbla.

What game are you talking about?

halo reach - sorry I added it originally to that thread - lol whatevs

No. Bungie didn't make a PC version of Halo: Reach. In fact i don't think they've ever made a PC version of a Halo game. Havn't they all been ports by other companies?

I'm guessing Microsoft might have some kind of deal with Bungie to make Reach exclusive to the 360 so that pirates who would just torrent the game for the campaign.

lol at gfwl being anything other than a joke.

I know that the CE was ported by Gearbox, but I'm unsure of who ported Halo 2. "

If I was asked which platform I wanted to play Halo: Reach on in fully working order, with achievements, multiplayer and all the other baubles, I would say PC. 
Unfortunately MS is weird like that. 
 
I'm currently playing Halo 2 on PC, for fun and for achievements, so I know how you feel buddy. 
 
Ah well, I very much doubt they'll port anymore Halo games in the series. And if they do, I hope they make them good. Until then, I'm going to play Halo: Reach on the 360 because I want to play it now.

xbla? Don't u mean xbox live, not xbox live arcade lol.

Isn't Fable 3 coming to PC? That's something, especially since F2 never did...

They've stopped caring about GFWL; it's about time you did to, lest you get burned again.

 Its just exclusive so they hope you will buy a console for it kinda dumb but  Microsofts GFWL strategy is kinda backward anyway. A PC version would be pretty sweet all the same.
 
Also Bungie developed the PC version of Halo 1 which Gearbox helped them finish thats why they let people use the CD key from that while Halo 2 was done by Microsoft to launch GFWL and thats why Bungie doesn't care about it.

Because the brand is a large system seller for the Xbox 360 and as such they don't want to cut into potential hardware sales.  You will probably see dodgy ports of Halo 3, ODST and Reach in some mega bundle in a few years time after the Xbox 3 launches.

i don't think microsoft really cares if gfwl succeeds anymore.

Yeah, I'd say they did a pretty good job too, considering how bad some PC ports can end up *glances over at Dead Space*. "

What?  Dead Space on PC is awesome!  It has one single, solitary bug to do with its ingame VSYNC option which causes the game to be slow on lesser machines.  It can be disabled in the options and then forced via your vga driver control panel  if you so desire.  Dead Space for Windows is a fantastic port in all other respects and the game looks incredible at high resolution with FSAA enabled.

" @SeriouslyNow: You and I must be playing a different game, since I did turn off the v-sync, and all that did was make me unable to turn more than 10 degrees when aiming. If there is a fix for this, that would be much appreciated, because changing mouse sensitivity and the like hasn't done anything for me. "

Microsoft has a knack for going off half-cocked when it comes to Xbox franchises on PC. Just look at Gears of War, Fable and Halo. 
Would it be nice if they brought all that stuff over? Very yes, but you know they won't. Oh well. :(

Why would anyone expect a Halo PC release anytime close to its console release?

Halo 3 and ODST were never on gfwl either. I think its because in general, pc players turn their nose up at console ports to pc. Halo ce was the exception because it was the only version that featured online play. Halo 2 and gears of war pc ports have been flops so I can't say I blame them for not bothering. Plus, they want people to buy xboxes to play this.

It is not a deal with Bungie. Bungie can't choose what happens to Halo. Microsoft wants people do buy xbox 360 FOR reach.So there wont be a PC version for a while if that. 

" Why would anyone expect a Halo PC release anytime close to its console release? "

Oh god, now I wan't to see if there is going to be a PC version before I buy an Xbox. >__<

You are thinking a little far too ahead,  they still need to port Halo 3 over to PC first.

It's because Microsoft, ironically, hates PC gamers.  
 
I'd really like to see the whole Halo collection on PC at some point, even more preferably, on Steam. Unfortunately that seems like a pipe dream at this point. 

@praab_nz. I agree. Given the choice id prefer steam. It's less intrusive. Ever buy a gfwl off of steam? Its ridiculous having to manually type a cd key for a digital download when starting them for the first time.

Microsoft Logic 101: 
-Launch a hyped game on 360 
-If it does well and it doesn't cost too much to port it to PC: Hire an unknown party to port it 
-Reap the benefits 
 
Every single time

Microsoft wants you to buy an XBox.

GFWL also requires a Gold subscription to play online....Fuck, i thought they said before that they actually ended that policy for GFWL and it's all free. I tried getting into a DOW2 multiplayer match and LO and BEHOLD, a pop up message saying that I need a gold subcription to play multiplayer.

Fable 1 came out to PC 
Then Fable 2 didn't because they were butthurt 
Now Fable 3 is coming to PC 
 
Fuck MSoft and GFWL no one needs them, Steam is perfectly good @ providing games, sucks about halo though, thats another series that doesnt know whether or not it should be on PC. And to think the first Halo was supposed to lead on PC before the xbox ever existed wee.

As some folks have said, don't think Bungie have ever made a PC Halo game. Microsoft worked on Halo: CE and Halo 2, considering we haven't seen Halo 3 on PC the chances of Reach hitting the personal computer is slim. But I think it will one day, expect to hear something of Halo 3 on PC next year.

It's Xbox 360 flagship title. It could never appear in the PC at launch, unless there would be a reason that doesn't exist.

Really? I play DoW2 on Steam for free. Why would they require a gold membership on the PC :?  "

Same.  There is no Gold Membership for GFWL as far as I recall. "
