No PC Halo 4 Because It's "Designed Specifically for Xbox 360"

[Nov 06, 2012, 10:01 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The PA Report has confirmation from Microsoft Game Studios that Halo 4 is not coming to the PC, which isn't too surprising considering Halo 3 was never ported to the PC either. What's a little odd is the explanation, as a spokesperson tells them: "Halo 4 was designed specifically for Xbox 360, and while we’re always exploring new ways to expand the franchise and share the Halo experience with as many fans as possible, we do not currently have any plans to port Halo 4 to PC."

I'm not sure gaming could be any easier or more time efficient than it is without people just watching others do it.

Be that as it may I get little enjoyment out of watching someone else play a game, yet I've sunk ~200 hours into Borderlands 2 now. Clearly it's a little more compelling than you describe even with it's health/shields system. That would also indicate, I think, that I am not one of your aforementioned "hurry up and finish the game in the most efficient way possible to move onto the next one" crowd.

The Second Wind system is perfect to me because it clearly illustrates that your tactics need to change to complete the challenge while giving you a chance to avoid being taken out of the game to reload and slog through the same crap you just did. Maybe it's because I tend to die a lot in games - I get really tired of the "reload last save and do it all over again" dance.

But you do recognize why other people would find a more challenging, finite health system more rewarding, right?

Sure, but being a fan of the way things are now I certainly am not going to join in with pining for the old days of medpacks and reloads. Screw that noise.
