Halo for Windows
Goes Gold is the press release announcing that the PC version of Bungie's
Xbox shooter is finally complete for one of its original target platforms (back
before Microsoft acquired Bungie), and is expected to reach store shelves by
September 30. Here's a bit from the release: "Halo, the critically
acclaimed best-selling Xbox game, is coming to Windows gamers for the first time
with new exclusive features, including online multiplayer support, new maps,
vehicles and weapons. Halo is optimized for the PC with the precision offered by
the mouse-and-keyboard and full support for high-end hardware including graphic
resolutions up to 1600 by 1200 and beyond. Halo's online multiplayer feature
will enable players to battle it out with fellow gamers worldwide in a variety
of individual and team-based games. Halo for Windows was developed by Gearbox
Software in conjunction with Bungie Studios. For more information, please visit
the official site at http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/."

I think that PC Halo has come about because Bungie genuinely believes that it still owes *somehing* to its old Mac/PC community. It seems that Halo will be the last thing we get, and I'll bet that if MS had their way we wouldn't even be getting Halo at all. But since Halo was originally announced for PC (in fact, originally demoed on a Mac), they feel honour-bound to release it for these platforms. That and they know that they'd be lynched if they didn't do it.
Take the game for what it is, not for what it symbolises.
