Hoping it's just a glitch
EDIT: Just a glitch, but a guy told me that it will be turned off at 8:30 and they were :s weird...
Hopefully they will extend support

How do you play a shooter on a tablet? I can't even imagine a control scheme

This isn't a shooter, but I think this picture shows it the best.
The simulated analog stick in the lower left hand corner, imagine one of those on both sides. Just like you would control a shooter on console.
Admittedly, I don't really play games on my phone, but I'd imagine this is how it would work.
So, if your left thumb is on stick and your right thumb is on stick, how do you press firing button? There is triggers on a gamepad for that, but on a tablet there is nothing like this
This is gonna bomb so hard.
Goddamit, I love Halo on PC and liked the thrid one when I played it on my (now defunct) 360, I would kill for PC ports.
I'm going to be seriously butthurt when they pull a CE:A and don't include any multiplayer. What are the chances that they would release multi for more than one (or even one) of the games.

I'll make the argument with the assumption that they are bringing Halo 1-3 to Steam.
On their own console, they have to worry about splitting the community. If they put a multiplayer mode into Halo: CEA, they would have been cannibalizing their potential for Halo: Reach DLC sales.
By leaving it out, they have the maximum revenue potential for Halo: Reach.
They aren't worried about selling DLC for old games on PC, nor are they worried about splitting the community. The PC community will dictate which games will have dedicated servers available for them, I doubt Microsoft will provide any servers for the game.
If all three games are released on Steam, there is a possibility that Microsoft will just remove the GFWL functionality from Halo 2, and as a result the multiplayer capability.
It would take both time and resources to configure and test the dedicated server multiplayer for both Halo 2 and Halo 3, would be understandable if they removed the ability to play multiplayer on Halo 2 entirely.
Halo 1 already has dedicated server capability, so they would not have to do anything with this release. It does have its own issues though, I believe you have to lead your shots more.
If they are only releasing Halo 1 & 2 on Steam, then they will just rip GFWL from Halo 2 and configure dedicated server functionality for that release.
I really hope all three (or at least the first two because 3 looks pretty nice already) get the Anniversary versions for PC. Besides, doesn't it seem to be a little odd to release games in 2013 that look like that? I think they might -- I hope they might -- based on other games they have done. Look at Age of Empires II HD for example.
Age of Empires isn't really a great example, the base game didn't function well with modern graphics cards.
It needed to be converted to from DirectDraw to DirectX in order to be playable on modern PC configurations.
Graphically, they did not change much outside of the water and some terrain.
Comparing this to Halo, those games would already easily function within a DirectX environment. Original Xbox games also look just fine at high resolutions, AA, AF, and other effects.
There would be no reason to put in the extra work, and I doubt Microsoft is looking to put in the work either.

It seems worth a bump since RTX is starting in around an hour (I think). Whilst I doubt that anything about Halo 2/3 will be announced during it, 343 is meant to be having some sort of announcement. You never know.
Any news on a livestream?

The fact that Certain Affinity is there too seems potentially interesting, considering they're the rumored developers of the Halo 3 PC port. Though they are from Texas, so it could just be a coincidence, or a Halo 4 map pack.
Either I have my timezones wrong or it's running late.
Oh, I didn't realise that. I'm trying my hardest not to get my hopes up.
They're having technical difficulties, and seemingly still letting people into the panel. Also on the Twitch page it says "On Saturday, July 6 we’ll be discussing what's next for Halo 4 this summer at our RTX Panel." in addition to the panel being called "What's Next: Halo 4 Summer 2013" I feel like they could be announcing a map pack, or something strictly Halo 4 related.
Then again, I guess Halo 3 PC is more of a cool thing that some people have wanted, and not a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT, so I could see it being announced in addition to other things.
It could go either way, I think.

Damn :/ I got excited before when they said "Get an exclusive first look at 343s next Halo announcement!" but it's probably just a Halo 4 map pack.

It is a long shot, but I'll take it.
They have to announce something soon with Halo 2 since they said they only extended the server support through June.
Well I was just saying they probably wouldn't dedicate a whole panel to talking about Halo 3 coming to PC. Could be both.
Considering the concurrent player numbers, I'm not so sure a map pack will be all that profitable.
What will be profitable? A Halo Trilogy release on Steam.
Oh yeah, I know they won't have a whole panel towards it, but them saying what's 'new' for Halo 4 sounds like it could be the same thing as the announcement they're going to make.
Are Halo 4's numbers really that bad now? I haven't been keeping up for a while.
Twitch stream started.
It just says loading channel data...343 is streaming on Twitch right now.
