Wasn't his exact quote "Steam thing is bunk as far as our stuff is concerned anyway". I assume they would count the Halo franchise as their "stuff".

I'm calling 3rd party on this one. Gearbox again?
'His stuff' refers to 343.
343 would not be working on the port, so it isn't 'his stuff'
Just PR speak, doesn't mean anything.
Next up, Gears 2 and 3? Or is there a specific reason that the first one was ported but not the others?

The driver mentions showed up in the Catalyst 13.3 beta, which was released only days ago, and isn't even done. If it was an old, old build that's no longer being worked on, it should have shown up in some form a LONG time ago.
"We currently do not have plans to release any Halo titles on Steam, nor do we currently have plans to release a PC version of Halo 3," a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer.
Yeah, it just makes it even stranger. I'd love to stay positive, but Frankie outright denying the port just made my hype die. He could easily have ignored the thread after MS made an official statement.
I dunno, I'd love it if people in this thread are correct but I'm not gonna get my hopes up anymore.
GAF we made Eurogamer, this could be good or bad news though.

Did you see Stinkles post in this thread?GAF we made Eurogamer, this could be good or bad news though.
They are still sticking with 'we currently do not have plans'
Doesn't sound great, but really not a flat out denial.

They said they dont have plans. Im pretty sure that was the whole argument with AOE 2 coming to Steam. They "dont have plans" whooops here it is.GAF we made Eurogamer, this could be good or bad news though.

GAF is at it again. Actively trying to fool the press.
Again.
Meanwhile the game ran at sub 720p30fps on the 360 :lol

What are you talking about dude, Halo 3 ran at 1280p, Bungie said.
lol Bungie.
Halo Triology coming to Steam?
Despite their recently acquired reputation with Alien: Coloniel Marines, I really would love to see Gearbox handling Halo 3 PC.
Halo PC and Custom Edition were handled by them and needless to say, they were great ports that ran on a wide range of hardware and were pretty damn superior to the Xbox version. Especially Custom Edition, which easily rivals the amount of hours I spent on Halo 2 with Xbox Live, the custom maps that the community made were amazing.
Regardless, I just want to play a version of Halo 3 PC's online that's alive again, it's easily the best in the series by far and I would love for it to have a port that gives it the justice that it deserves, especially if it runs on a wide range of hardware.
Or could mean that at one point it was coming to Steam, but its not anymore. That doesn't mean the port doesn't exist though.

As has been point out the driver information is brand new, something that was dropped would have shown up last year.
A lot of the Halo PC patches were done by Roger Wolfson at Bungie.Despite their recently acquired reputation with Alien: Coloniel Marines, I really would love to see Gearbox handling Halo 3 PC.

http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=128211280p..you must be remembering that wrong.
Naturally its more complicated than that. In fact, you could argue we gave you 1280 pixels of vertical resolution, since Halo 3 uses not one, but two frame buffers both of which render at 1152x640 pixels.
Using 2 times "currently" already sounds weird.
Also "no plans" was also said about AOE.
But funny how this rumour business works, bad rumours about the Durango will likely be true like it seems.
Good rumours like Halo PC ports will be shot down lol.
It's a driver profile for AMD based cards.
Drivers are made to ease the OS' interaction with many the hundred different graphic cards.
Consoles do not use drivers, at least not in the conventional sense, because there is only one kind of GPU in the X720.
So it has to pc-related.
I need to speak to myself from 2007 to try and get hyped for this... Seriously, I was a fan of Halo 3 on the 360 back then, but is this really a big deal now? Am I missing something?

Sheesh. You guys should really take a step back and worry about Halo 3 PC, when or if you hear it announced. Not some random keystokes entered into some .ini file. Everyone seems to lose their shit when so many groups and companies can just add lines of text into their software with the name of the product. If I ran steam or any other vendor , I'd fuck everyone's shit up daily with random trolls in control files.

I'm at my phone and still at work for the next 4 hours, so sadly I can't look for it that wellDo you have a source for 'currently no plans for AoE II?'
That continued statement by Microsoft could almost seem like a confirmation.
Lots of Microsoft games seem to be rumored/coming to Steam lately!
FEZ was finally confirmed, and now this is brought up again. I guess that's not lots, though.
I pray Microsoft keeps doing this with some of their other XBLA titles. Not to sound like I'm begging, but I'd kill to have Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie on my PC. (Especially since I can't get Tooie's multiplayer to work on an emulator).
