Happy 5 year anniversary to the best game of this gen. :majesty:

 

Gonna jump into some Multi tonight to celebrate.

 

I refer to last week's post from you about how "the current gen should die because there is not enough new IPs"; and want to remind you that there is a 3 at the end of the thread title. Based on the assumption that this post of yours is not sarcastic, this gen deserved to die years ago. I hope you do agree with the conclusion.

 

 

 

 

P.S. : Don't be a Nazi! I know my English sucks.

Halo 3 PC code found in AMD Catalyst Drivers

 

Halo 3 PC was originally spotted in the Steam database along with a bunch of other games

 

While a lot of games were confirmed, Microsoft denied that Halo 3 was

heading to the PC. However, a code related to the game has been found

in the 13.3 Catalyst beta driver.

Now this may not be a solid confirmation but it is certainly

surprising that a code related to an Xbox 360 game has been found on a

PC graphics card driver.

 

Here’s how it goes:

 


    <profile Area="UDX" Usage="Halo3" Notes="Halo3">
    	<value Property="Version">1</value>
    	<value Property="MTShaderCompile">False</value>
    </profile>

    <application Title="Halo3" File="halo3*.exe">
    	<use Area="UDX">Halo3</use>
    </application>

Microsoft has poured cold water on reports that suggested Halo 3 will be released on PC.

Microsoft issued a statement to Eurogamer on the matter after the latest AMD beta driverswere found to include an entry for Halo 3.

The entry sparked speculation that the Bungie shooter was in line to launch on PC having released on Xbox 360 in September 2007.

Alas, it appears this is not the case.

"We currently do not have plans to release any Halo titles on Steam, nor do we currently have plans to release a PC version of Halo 3," a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer.

This isn't the first time we've whispers of Halo launching on PC. Last month a Steam database found listings for Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo: Combat Evolved received a PC port in 2003 courtesy of Borderlands studio Gearbox Software.

 

 

Still hoping. (CEA was also denied until revealed at E3 '11)

It’s really fascinating watching Halo 3 PC going back and forth. Will it hit the PC or not? Bungie’s game appeared in Steam’s registry a while back, and a lot of PC gamers got excited. Microsoft was quick to react and stated that they had no plans for a PC port of Halo 3. PC gamers got disappointed. Then, Halo 3 was spotted in AMD’s GPU drivers. PC gamers were – once again – excited for a possible announcement. Microsoft remained silent. PC gamers got disappointed once again. Therefore, Halo fans decided to launch a petition in order to show MS that they are interested in a PC version of it. Naturally, this petition won’t be able to convince MS to port its X360 flagship to our platform, but as they say… there is still hope. Halo 3′s Steam registry was last edited four months ago. In other words, there is nothing new to report about it. However, it remains a mystery why AMD included a Halo 3 profile in its drivers. We are pretty sure that this petition will go unnoticed. After all, did EA bother with the petition for the removal of the always-online DRM from SimCity? Of course and they didn’t. Okay, they kept advertising their game as an MMO (which is not mind you) but that’s irrelevant as there have been a large number of petitions for countless things, so unless this one takes off, nothing will really change. Still, we are certain that some of our readers will be interested in it. If you are one of them, you can sign it up here.
