At this point they probably want to deliver h5 first on xbone before porting mcc, so on the fence buyers that would otherwise wait could get an bone.
I wouldn't exactly call this a promise lol.
I'd buy this on PC but I don't really expect it to happen for a long time if at all.

ofc it's coming to pc how else would we able to get three monitor halo 5 like in mission impossible?
I'm convinced that Mission Impossible and Dexter are in the same universe.

Halo 2 Vista still have a remnant of that age on the multiplayer section:
"Xbox Live Gold Matches", and its number its always 0 since.
they never updated the game to remove that. (not that the game needed updates to addressee other things but carry on.)

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
they gonna kill the xbox one
How can you kill something that's already dead?
Got to destroy to rebuild

And give up all those live subscribers? I don't think so.
Its not like everyone who plays halo would jump to PC
PC gaming has that nerdy stigma attached to it
Sounds harsh but you know people (casuals) feel that way
Good thing us gamers aren't like those casuals.
I'd like to see more of the bigger-budget first party games on PC. This statement feels like it's recognizing that the practical barriers that used to be there have mostly changed. He's not a policy guy, but it's a good sign he's comfortable making a statement like this outwardly.
I seriously doubt it's actually coming.

The day Halo comes to PC is the day I sell my Xbox.

I hope so. Halo is the only Xbox exlcusive I'm interested in and I would love to play it on PC.

It's not that...
There is simply a ton of people who don't want to bother with playing games on PCs... They probably have no idea Steam exists. Don't want to fool with driver updates, they can't perceive buying a PC and installing it in their living room for the primary purpose of gaming.
They just wanna play games with their friends and family they way they have always been doing it.
there are PC gamers who can say "I'm not buying an Xbox for Halo , I'll just play on the PC I already have"
But your typical console gaming can't say they already have a PC that could run the game... There's a transition required that people just wouldn't make...

Agreed. I think waiting 9-12 months would probably be a good idea.
And there it is.
The thirst is real.

Not sure if serious.
While I'm hugely disappointed with their output so far in terms of games and weaksauce hardware, it's far from dead.

It doesn't need to be everyone... There is probably loads of people with a capable PC that have bought or are planning to buy an xb1 just for halo.
Really?
Yep, people are insane. I shake my head so much, I have PTSD. Just read the other XBOX LIVE Numbers thread and that gave me a headache.
Again, if people placed this much effort into their communities as they do posting nonsense on Internet boards, we'd have a utopia.

I would bet the number not planning on doing that is larger. I'd probably by multiple copes on PC just for co-op for some folks who've never even played a Halo game. The potential for growth is there, I think the people who wanted Halo got their Xbox One when the MC collection came out.

50ppp? smh, I thought you're better than this.
Stinkles was asked the question and he gave his stock "noncommittal answer"... that is all.

Haven't only two of the seven (counting Wars) Halo games ever made it to PC?
I'm not holding my breath.

Lol. Gaf, as usual, is gaf.
You forgot iOS.
gotta fluff those pc gamers just to give them blue balls.
I heard they're gonna kill the Xbox One.
I realise that, but most people don't know about his past answers, this piece of news is everywhere now. Plus don't you think saying "Hey, it's possible" is a bit different than saying "There is plenty of chance that it could happen!"?
I don't care if it does appear on PC someday, just an observation.

That's the kind of reasoning we typically get. That or they are just focusing on the Xbox One release because they don't want to add to the developer's workload now and they'll look into later after the initial launch.
They never come out and say that they don't release on Windows because they want to keep the Xbox One as desirable as possible with first party exclusives.
