halo 1 and 2 were the only halo games released on pc and so most pc gamers never got to experience halo 3

halo 1 was ported over by gearbox and they did a decent job with it with many graphics options and good mouse and keyboard controls and even going so far as to add online multiplayer, a feature not in the Xbox version, combine that with skill based weapons, an awesome campaign and multiplayer on level with the original half life and you have a very good game.

then we got halo 2, a rushed awful port by an in house development teem by the name of hired gun, it featured 3 graphics options, horrible keyboard and mouse controls (those of you who've used a turret or a vehicle will know what i mean), voice chat that doesn't work and a 5 time activation limit as well as a LOWER yes LOWER FOV than the original halo 2, not to mention halo 2,s numerous problems such as added lock on, lack of health making the shield less useful, poor weapon balance, this as you can probably guess caused people to avoid it like the plague

now we have halo reach, health is back so that's good, and means people don't come off completely unscathed if there shields go down and they loose half there health and will help them to learn in the same way that counter strike does that they need to play with more tactics and try to avoid having there shields drop at all,

the pistol is no longer useless which means weapon balance,

firefight gives people something to do other than standard multiplier,

forge which allows people to easily make maps if they don't want to learn the more complex map editor that they will include if they want even a hope of this game selling well on pc.

now when compared to halo 2 reach would feel far better because it feels more like the original game that people fell in love with.

in other words this is the best choice of all the halo games to port to pc because it feels familiar to halo 1 which is considered far Superior to halo 2 by the pc gaming community.

to help ease the porting process so whoever ends up porting the game to pc doesn't turn it into an emulation rather than a port i will create a forum thread were each person will vote on features they think are most important, how they should be done and why they are important.
