Hey guys i couldnt find this thread anywhere so im posting here..im sorry if i have missed out,i just noticed something today that i thought i would share with you guys i was happily writing my blog where i blog about gaming...and i just got a question from someone asking me if Halo 4 will be released on PC??i obviously said not a chance but he pointed me towards the official website of halo 4 which said on the bottom of the page system requirements forthcoming,Now looking at the history of the way microsoft has marketed its products in the past it looks like this might come out for a pc after all.Let me explain why i think so...Gears of war 1 was released for PC everyone loved it and when Gears of war 2 and 3 was released it came out only for xbox 360(This boosted up xbox sales to an extent) samething with halo,when halo was released part 1 came out on PC,for part 2 you needed vista,for part 3 you needed xbox 360...now the thing i just realised while i was writing an article about this on my blog was that Windows 8 is releasing on Oct 26th and Halo 4 on Nov 6th..does this mean this will be releasing as a windows 8 exclusive nothing official is out yet to prove my claims but my gut feeling says this is coming out on PC as well guys but you will need windows 8 to play it !

MS will port its main xbox "selling point" game to win8 to boost win8 sales? highly unlikely

If it comes on PC good for PC Gamers. If it doesn't then also no problem for me. I am not a halo fan anyway.

I know we all are looking forward to it and the only reason why i bought this to notice was because of their website showing system requirements forthcoming,Its really misguiding as we dont have official news as of yet...

If there is no news I don't think it would happen. Halo is xbox's biggest exclusive franchise.

Never gonna happen, we could imagine getting Halo 3 or GOW 2 for Win 8, but also unlikely cause Win 8 is going for a very cheap price, people even pirates will buy it for 40$, so not reason to use a game to boost sales.

I doubt it would. It is an exclusive.

All editions, windows 8 won't come retail, everyone using Win XP, Win Vista, Win 7(any version of all three) could upgrade to Win 8 for 40$, also interesting, anyone using Win 8 Preview Release will also get the 40$ upgrade, thereby making the effective price of Win 8 40$.

Nope!
That 'system requirements' thing was an old rumor, and I think its something to do with the accessories like Kinect. Is halo 4 coming to PC? no fcking way!

Halo 4 will definitely not come with a PC version for sure.

Nice move by microsoft to reduce piracy. Now maybe I'll finally buy an OS. :p

Don't worry. Won't happen so keep yourself busy in other games.
