Thoughts?

I got really excited and then really disappointed. I'd love to see more Halo titles for PC, but I want a FPS. I'd really like to see some of the older Halo titles released on the PC without being Windows 8 exclusive.

You notice a trend here? They released Halo 2, but it was specifically designed for Vista (even tho you can play it on Win 7). Now they skip all these previous titles for Win 7 & shoot directly for Win 8 release? Can we say fail?

I think Halo 3 or Reach on PC would be incredible. Not really too stoked for a non-FPS title, let alone Windows 8 exclusive.

Ehh...this is essentially an attempt at making a killer app for Windows phones and Windows powered tablets like the Surface. The PC release is pretty much incidental.

Microsoft's Halo 2 release on PC was a disaster. I mean like it came out 3 years after the game's console debut, it was only compatible for DirectX 10 and up in an attempt at creating a lure to get people to upgrade, and of course it was released on the crap GfWL. So yeah it was a big enough bomb to convince Microsoft to skip porting every other iteration of the series onto the PC, even Halo Wars that RTS that Microsoft had Ensemble Studios make before shutting them down.
