PC Halo in Jeopardy?

Aug 17, 2001 9:35pm CST tags: Bungie, Halo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, someone says this at least once a week, and chances are that it's total BS, but PC.IGN is reporting that the PC port of Halo is no longer a sure thing. They are making this statement based on two things: a scan of the cover artwork from the Xbox version has a "only on Xbox" label on it, and when they called Microsoft, they were told, "Microsoft will evaluate the PC version of Halo after the launch of it on Xbox." Regardless of all of this, keep in mind that Microsoft and Bungie have said time and again that it will appear on PC and Mac after its Xbox debut, regardless of the many reports to the contrary. On a related note, this week's Halo update is up at Rampancy.net, and features the usual bunch of info about the latest additions to the Xbox version of the game.

Halo Xbox Online News

May 24, 2001 6:56pm CST tags: Bungie, Halo
According to this messageboard post on Bungie.org, it looks like Internet support in the Xbox version of Halo is questionable at this time. Microsoft doesn't have a clear network strategy yet which makes it hard for Bungie to code in support for whatever Microsoft might come up with in the future. Thanks Crusader.

Unfortunately it's not possible for us to code support for internet play without more info than we have now. So Xbox Halo won't magically work over the internet when MS gets their networking stuff up. I don't think a patch will happen either.
A separate product is a possibility, but as things stand right now there is no definite plan for such a product. The team gets to decide what they work on next, but they won't make that decision until Halo is done.

It is stressed that this this is only for the Xbox version of Halo, so any waiting by the PC and Mac players for their version of the game will be possible be paid off with Internet support.
