Halo 2 coming to iOS?
- Thread starter dream

You don't need Frank to crush the dream, because common sense will. Halo coming to Mac would only happen if ol' Don showed up to work drunk and delirious. There isn't a market there. Steam support for them is more likely than any Mac support.
Why is it stupid? So they sell more units and expand their fanbase?
More Tweets confirming something is happening this month.
It is in the Steam registry, check third post of the thread.
AppID has now been deleted though, theoretically they could have moved development to another AppID with more security measures in place.

Would be cool if they did something to make it not laggy as fuck.

I'd love to see a Halo remake on Steam. Bring it on.
He actually refers to the original trilogy as the Reclaimer Trilogy for better or worse. Also, 343 announced it turned into a saga rather than trilogy well before Halo 4 was even released.

Oh man. Removing GFWL better not fuck up the multi. I would be pissed if anything happens to DaS.

I dunno, the market for Mac games seem present. Why else would GOG be making and supporting Mac versions of their classic games?

Funny thing you know, Halo is on Mac since December 2003.

I mean, it's probably a given at this point, but it would be nice to have official confirmation. Also, I hope they don't remove GFWL too soon, as I kind of want to play through Bioshock 2 first and have it as played on my gamertag (weird and crazy I know).
That's what I was guessing. I wonder if the multiplayer will have a strong online community. On Steam surely it will, I would hope.

They already do. There's a Kinectimals game on iOS, and the game Wordament where you can earn achievements for your gamertag. Also something called Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin.

Whoa. This was posted in the HolaGAF thread earlier
Whilst I'm taking this with a fuckload of salt anyway, the word 'remake' for Halo 3 makes me feel weird.
Aww yiss, hype increasing.
If it makes you feel better, in September it will be six years old.
I would suggest playing it as soon as possible. Judging by the frequency of updates and both games have QA betas, the change seems to be imminent.
GFWL and Securom from one game makes me shudder.
It's sad to know generations of children are going to grow up and not play Halo 3 Custom Games.
You can do it Microsoft, I believe in you. ;_;

Halo 3 and ODST on steam would be godly. Only thing stopping me from selling my 360 then would be dead rising and lost odyssey. Make it happen !

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a graphical upgrade, or even stuff like 'fixing' the BR. I'm just being pessimistic and thinking they could add loadouts and whatever else from Reach/4.
Not sure. I didn't realize that many classic games were having a Mac release.
That was before Mattrick though. I'm pretty sure Bungie also wanted it to go to Mac, with their Marathon roots and all.

How hard would it be to edit the in-game message, though? I doubt the iOS thing is true. Maybe the Steam stuff, though.

Damn, I guess I better start playing through Bio 1 and 2 then. And finish up Arkham City.
Speaking of Securom, will they be removing that as well?
Halo Spartan Assault.

I would like a bit of a graphical update, but please no load outs. That would destroy the essence of Halo 3.
I would certainly hope so.
Speculating here, but removing Securom should be trivial compared to GFWL.
Played 1-3 on console, and I'd rather not miss out on some H3 stuff on PC (especially in campaign and BTB).

Yep. I doubt they will anyway (or well, hope they won't), since they'd most likely have to re-design the maps for armour abilities.

The whole situation is fascinating. The best part is that this would be 100% confirmation that GFWL is dead.
iOS instead of WP8. Geez. MS needs to figure a way to make Xbox achievements possible on iOS since they port all their stuff onto the platform.
Oh and if this does happen right around controller support it will be nuts.
Edit: oh wait wordament had live support I almost forgot.

If this is something that's actually happening, I hope they do it right. That involves putting up matchmaking servers for Halo 2 with the same playlist settings that were there when the original Xbox Live servers went down so there's a way to get the great gametype and map combinations that Halo 2 had in matchmaking by the end of its life. Having a server browser is a nice addition that should be kept so that the communities can still have their (awful, awful, awful) wacky gametype settings that they're running even now on H2V, but I don't think that should be the standard when the playlist setup was such a defining element of that game.

Do you still have your 360, and do you have Gold?

give me Halo 3 on PC using the azzure cloud servers damnit!
I know about that free game incentive they're doing for gold members. I don't have gold, haven't had it in over a year.
And if I'm going to be playing Halo 3 again, I'm gonna play it on my PC on Steam, in 1080p and 60 fps.

I'd buy it if this were to happen.
