It will also have pvp mode.

This comes with a mouse? What?
Developers that are planning a late port to the platform always do this. Its in order to ensure a larger sales potential on consoles, then more sales on PC for the definitive version.
Halo-style shooter
ADS not required for accuracy
M/KB controls
PVE is one part of the game, but it has a dedicated multiplayer mode as well.

I may have a minority opinion but I never really care for Halo except the first one. So I am not really looking forward to this game, if it comes to PC and it looks good I might consider getting it. Overall though my hype level for this game is meh.
Are you being purposely dense?
Sure, but do we know if PvP will be as important as PvE? I find it hard to imagine that it will be.

Agreed. I want it, but I don't want it at sub 120fps.

Will wait for PC port or skip entirely, I just can't do console shooters with my kb&m hands.

I really don't know what mouse comes with what keyboard you're talking about.
Just in case you're not being purposely dense, how many PC gamers do you know have a keyboard but don't have a mouse? Obviously when I talk about precision I'm talking about a keyboard/mouse combo.
In a world where MMOs exist almost exclusively on a particular platform, and where an overwhelming negative reception forced a certain hardware manufacturer to drastically change policy on their periodically online next-gen console, I think a PC release would do fine.

I don't know what that has to do with anything I said. I just want a keyboard to type with.

I wonder though do people who mainly game on PC , but happen to have consoles just give in and buy the console version? If I had the a console I wouldn't chance it and just wait to see if it came to PC. Look at GTA 5, has there been an announcement that it will not come to PC like RDR? I haven't kept up on it, but would be shocked if it didn't eventually come to PC, just like I'd be surprised if there wasn't a greatest hits next gen version released.

haha. touche.
So plug one into your console?
Don't expect it to be competitive like Halos or Quakes are...
It's not really about that. It has to do with the game needing it or not needing it at all. With those 2 games you mentioned, there was an expectation especially because there are previous games in the series who didn't have it, and were excellent. In the end, it worked against those 2 games so I don't think the complaints are unjustified. If anything, they proves that many of the complaints were spot on, especially for that piece of garbage called Sim City.
For this game tho, new IP, new ideas, new gameplay. If they are upfront about it and it doesn't work against the game I don't really see the problem. The game and developer are clearly MP focused as well, so it is not the same thing at all.

Probably not, still i would probably kill myself if i had to play borderlands 2 on pad
, but its me It seems odd to me to expect a game to have an offline mode based on previous games in the series when said previous games came out over a decade ago. It seems even odder to me to think something is mandatory in an old IP but not in a new IP. It's either mandatory or it isn't.
Oh I agree, especially when you are trying to create a new, not only competitive shooter, but a new coop and gameplay experience. These kinds of games take off on PC and create great communities overall, not to mention, the more platforms it's on, the more they play.
I only meant, it's Activision. They want the higher price of console game sales, the always online, the DLC etc. Plus they probably want PC'ers to double dip. I just thought PC'ers would hate a game they couldn't play offline, even if they wanted to play alone and not coop.
''We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that weve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that weve abandoned the PC platform.''
I hate these companies, all of them, either say ''not gonna happen'' or ''better be ready for a long wait'' or just stfu.
Reminds me of that dumb move Ubisoft made with The Division basically saying ''beg for it''.
Then they delayed MP3 on PC for a month for no apparent reason.
They always tell us when its not going to happen.
They are always intentionally ambiguous when it is going to happen. See: MGSV, GTAV, Destiny, etc

while true us PC gamers hate always online for single player games this in my opinion is an mmo style game which are all always online
i imagine the potential headache of a PC version goes beyond simply tuning for different specs and giving more graphics options. the PC crowd lives in a whole different world of expectations and standards when it comes to both MMOs and FPS. bungie want another halo on their hands and one user-base's finely tuned and dynamic firefight is another user base's sludgy, pedestrian engagement.
if a large, perhaps even majority slice of your audience comes from a platform with traditional expectations which aren't exactly optimised for the type of game you're making, it's going to rain on your launch parade.
that said, a developer should be confident enough in the qualities of their title to make it available as far and wide as moneyhats permit, so that anyone who does appreciate what it's trying to do can play it without having to jump through excessive hardware hoops.

Ryan Ellis of Bungie: "we're not even hinting we're doing a PC version"
Reaction: "Stop teasing us, Bungie!"
Seems like he was trying to give an honest, friendly answer without teasing PC fans or crushing their hopes for a future port. What an asshole!

Same here. Unless it happens to run at 60 frames and full HD. I doubt it but I'd be willing to buy it on a console for that.

I'm pretty sure a double negative is a confirmation, right?
What comment was that?
Sounds like a plan Rayge.
They love the massive amount of money we generate for them over time.
