Just for the XBox? I sort of doubt that. Why shoot themselves in the foot by not supporting the PC platform?

Besides, it says on the Halo webpage.

Coming soon for Windows and Mac OS

hehe,

Anyway, I have the 160 meg E3 2000 trailer. Are those graphics really the engine that the player interacts in? If so, then wow.

DO, the Halo page hasn't been updated since long before Bungie was bought by Microsoft, and how would it be shooing themselves in the foot? You want Halo right? well they want you to buy an X-box...put 2 and 2 together and theres a very good chance it's Xbox only.

"Holding true to this vision allowed us to create the Marathon and Myth series, and has now led us to Redmond to work closely with the Xbox development team. ONI will ship for the PC, Mac, and Playstation 2 later this year. We have yet to decide when and for which platforms Halo will ship"
Scope!

Those screenshots were taken on a G4 with some ATI card innit, I saw a .mov file from some big screen demonstration about HALO, looked real nice.

It WILL come out on the PC, but only 1-2 months after the X-Box realese. Microsoft bought Bungie just to give us 1 reasone to want the X-Box, ok two, buying the X-Box and hoping you can ripp out the parts and use in your own machine is also a reason.

yes it is. The people actually look like, well...people. Facial expressions too. Chk out the face on the first guy that buys the farm. It's almost hilarious.

But, I am not going to buy an X-box. No need for it. I was never into console games anyway. I'd rather dump my cash on a machine I can always upgrade.

I wonder how many frames you get from that, probably like 10 or 15. Looks so hardware intensive and i heard it uses A3d 2.0

Developers are having trouble making it 100% in third person, because shooting is hard. They are now starting to add First Person aspects. Rumor is, the game will be like a first person shooter when they're done with it.
