if it isnt coming to steam, then Frankie please say how in the hell this game is in Steam Registry and had a steam page a few weeks ago and just recently was mentioned in an AMD driver ?.
did an AMD employee for the lulz just go yeah lets add halo 3. the same for steam too ?
nevermind that also nearly every other game that was found in the steam Registry at the same time is either released, announced, or going to be certainly announced soon.

Stinkles would never do something that drastic. GAF is his favorite place besides the bottom of a bottle.
Please report back tomorrow and let us know that plans have changed, then, and the answer is now yes?
We're willing to give you money for this. There is no downside.

How about loser uploads and apology video to youtube?
Ok, sounds good.
Halo 3 confirmed for PC. Alert the media, guys.
They would most likely just optimize the net code for one game.
If they are even doing the trilogy, releasing three games with three separate multiplayer experiences, would be redundant, fracture the community, require a lot of work on the front end to get everything working, and work on the back end supporting.
If the trilogy does exist, most likely it will be just Halo 3 multiplayer, with Halo 1/2 just being single player, or at the most LAN/Split-Screen.
The Halo 2 servers are also being discontinued in June, I think the fact that they were pushed back is an indication of both my theory here and the games being released in that time period.

How often do games that are "not currently planned" actually come out? Is this common PR speak or am I holding onto false hope?
Probably the second most common outside of not commenting on rumors or speculation.

He basically denied the existence of the game months before it was actually announced because it hadn't been 'greenlit.'
Depends on your definition of greenlit, but surely they were working on that port for at least a year.

im still sticking by my theory that at E3 ms will announce that any game you buy from marketplace through xbox or PC will exchange between each other.
they spoke of something like this last year about xbox and pc linking together. and it explains in depth more why smartglass and windows 8 link to your xbox and let you remote play and have a keyboard option but doesnt work yet.
could also explain why halo 3 is showing in strange places too. it also explains why the next xbox may be blocking used games too because they link to your account.

Frank's response when asked about the rumor of a Halo remake developed by Saber Interactive.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/291155/343-plays-down-saber-made-halo-hd-rumours/
He sidesteps the question very broadly. It's not a similar denial at all. Maybe you're thinking of this one?
Halo: CE Anniversary was released in November 2011, so that means the game was likely in production in July or August of 2010.
Halo: CE Anniversary was officially announced in June 2011.

So what you're saying is Halo will continue to stay dead? Oh well!

Yeah, the Halo franchise has historically been the worst offender of "LOL WE NOT DOING ANYTHING, DUNNO WHAT YOU FOOLS TALKIN' ABOUT."
Remember how long everyone at microsoft denied halo 3's existence? Though at the same time, I imagine any possible PR cycle for a PC port of Halo 3 would be a tiny fraction of the announcement of Halo 3 proper.

None of these statements count as 'flat out denial'.
CEA was never intended as a 'major' release, and it certainly doesn't qualify as a new Halo game as it's a remake.
Exactly the point, neither does 'we currently have no plans.'

Halo 3 on pc wont change a god damn thing.
NO Halo on Steam... well seems like with the recent Durango stuff it seems Halo 4 will be the last Halo game I played
Yes, Halo 4 was the last Halo game you played.

Poor Frankies either chuckling away at this thread with his trolling or shaking his head thinking 'ooooh boy why won't they believe me ?'
There would be absolutely no logic to releasing Halo3 on pc now. Maybe eventually as its 10 years or something on console and pc at the same time, but now? Why? I dunno where you people get these rumors but that guy is pulling them out of his ass.

Could I suggest reading the 3 or so threads that popped up recently? Starting with the thread Stump HIMSELF created?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=511484
EDIT: Not to mention the 4-5 threads that popped up just YESTERDAY about various other games popping up in the registry WITH cheevos?

Yes but thats because they wanted to push the 360 version of the game first. We have nothing to announce often means, get the 360 version now then well see. They have absolutely no reason to hide a pc version to push the 360 version of Halo3 right now. Theres been 3 halo games out since then. And if Halo2 pc was any indication, there wont be many people playing if it ever comes out anyway.

No. It'll justify a rumor that you didn't seem to understand it's origin. You said that in your post. I was just trying to help.
The PC space isn't really like the console space though. Games tend to come and go very quickly on console and have a generally short shelf life (to an extent) but it's a very different matter on PC.
If they were to release them and give support for public server files/dedicated server files and mod support the PC community would support those games for years. Hell I'd probably get back into Halo 2 again since it's my favourite of the lot multiplayer wise. It would give those games a new lease of life, games that have been forced to shut down due to the Microsoft closing down the original xbox servers (well Halo 2 really). I'd rebuy the original trilogy right now due to being able to replay them at higher resolutions etc. I'm willing to bet there's a lot of Halo fans with PCs who'd like to replay them with a higher resolution/framerate (if possible).
It would be such an easy moneyspinner for them really.

Im not saying it'll never happen, but right now there's absolutely no reason for it. Maybe at the 10 year mark, a la Halo CEA, then yes its possible. Eventually.

Why not? You think MS doesn't like money? Console transition time doesn't hurt either. Easy cash in!.
Put that shit on the Steam Store and watch it sell shitloads. Then they can go another 5-10 years not giving a shit about the PC while pimping their new console.
It's common sense stuff, really. Unless you try peg MS as those who like to use good common sense, and then the whole theory gets blown to shit. It's the same company what is rumored to launch a Kinect required, HSI required console.
I dont know what it is, but it sounds hella fun LOL

Ya but even there, why steam. Why not the windows 8 store instead? You know itll have achievements and will need some sort of Live attached to it. Itll be halo2 pc all over again. And halo2 pc is no where to be found on steam.
Wonder if that one is mentioned on it.
Isn't one of the requirements for windows 8 store is touch support?

Christ, nevermind the threads we've had about Halo 3 in the Steam registry before, but at least read the OP. There have been signs of Halo 3 on PC for a while now, a game just doesn't appear in the Steam registry for no reason.
It's likely that they were planning some sort of port, but it has probably been cancelled.

I saw the thread, but it could mean absolutely anything. Including what you just said. But you look at the comments in here and its as if its coming out next month.
And considering how they treated the pc version of halo2, lets just say im not getting too excited.
