Re: Microsoft confirms Halo 'Bootcamp' for PC!
I'd prefer a newer Halo FPS on the PC but I don't mind this at all, except for the Win8 exclusiveness. Halo has a huge universe of possibilities and should play well in other perspectives then we are used to. After-all, Halo was originally designed as a type of third person game, so this is long overdue (besides Halo Wars which was very watered down for an RTS).
I play lots of Single Player games, and do not see a problem with them, in general they can be way better and more complex. Many gamers prefer SP gaming because lag is always a factor in online games and often it takes away from that experience, if not ruining the game completely. Shit, I still re-play the entire Half-Life series pretty much every year because those games are just that good.

Re: Microsoft confirms Halo 'Bootcamp' for PC!
^^ I'm gonna hold you to that emo rofl. I highly doubt both Spartan Assault and Bootcamp are the same games. They confirmed the title "Bootcamp", and it's not called Spartan Assault Bootcamp. Why would they say we will see something about Bootcamp at E3, but show us all this trailer and gameplay shiz from SA? It's definatly not the same game, just common sense.
But I have to agree and support the "testing the waters" logical approach to future Halo PC titles. They do need to test things out response wise before dedicating millions to a solid PC campaign. Look at H2V. Had they tested the waters first with betas or even other projects before releasing it the way they did, H2V may have been a dramitacally different game with tons of extras we are missing. Instead they haphazardly threw it at us to shut us PC's guys up...then they use it as a direct way to deny us future PC games by saying how not well received the game was.
I lost faith in Microsoft a long time ago. If Halo wants to survive into another decade, the franchise needs to be sold to a more serious developer and publisher.
