I could see MS being audacious enough to try $40.
I'd spend $20 or maybe $30 if I were bored enough.
I hope this means that MS's GFWL library is indeed heading to Steam.

well ms did say a while ago they want to llink xbox and pc together. if u buy a game through the marketplace on xbox they want you to lay it on pc too.
it also goes with the whole windows 8 xbox bit where u can remote play your games but no keyboard support yet but option is there

Given AoE2HD's price I can easily see them going for at least $30 for Halo 3; especially if they pop a special moniker on it like "Halo3HD".
I wish Microsoft had given up and gone the Steam route years ago. So many games could have been better without GFWL
On the plus side, I'm sure plenty of Japanese games wouldn't have come to PC if it wasn't for GFWL, the Steamworks Japanese documentation apparently sucks and GFWL was/is more trusted over there.
Halo 2 felt like shit on PC (at least it didn't feel like a PC game), but Halo 1 PC took on a life of its own. It had its own unique community, maps and feel that was unlike any other Halo game, even Halo CE on Xbox. I hope that happens with Halo 3.

Well, there have been two earlier titles.
Yes, it is a great shooter in its own right.
I imagine this will be one of the launch titles for the relaunch of GFWL as "Xbox Games" (or whatever the online gaming service is going to be called on the next Xbox console).
We are long overdue for a new focus on Windows gaming from Microsoft. It used to happen every few years before they completely lost interest. They will no doubt try again now to entice PC gamers into buying the new Xbox by getting them into their Xbox ecosystem.
The difference this time is that instead of trying to be a complete competitor to Steam I could see "Xbox Games" be complimentary to Steamworks with extra features like buy once play everywhere, cross platform game saves between Windows, Xbox console and WP and what new hot social features is Microsoft is planning for the Xbox console.
Just don't make it the primary DRM solution causing us to experience the pain of the save corruption, the terrible overlay, downloading profiles for 5 minutes and terrible p2p multiplayer of GFWL all over again.

Not a "major" one, but I'd love to see Fable 2 on Pc. I felt dirty after I finished 3 last week, my god what a godawful piece of crap.
I didn't mind Fable 2, even though I found it to be inferior to The Lost Chapters. Fable: TLC > Fable 2 >>> Fable 3, as far as I'm concerned.

Wait what? On Steam?
Search doesn't bring anything up and I haven't seen any news articles about it either.

...Dance Central?
The newest Serious Sam game also supports it.
Way too few PC games support local multiplayer, while it makes so much sense with the multitude of games that support controllers and the larger focus on connecting PCs to your TV.
Devolver gave out keys the other week, so the game is practically done, but it hasn't been publicly released just yet.
Halo 3's by far the best game on that list.

Duke Nukem 3D man.
Holy shit. I've been hoping for a Halo release on Steam, but had never thought about that! I'd love to replay the game (I own the PC version, but I'm waiting for the possible Steam version to have native widescreen support and possible AA compatibility), but to get the Anniversary looks would be a fantastic addition!
I'd rebuy them all on PC just for the single player campaigns but I'd love it so much if they gave out server files/had dedicated servers for the games. That's probably wishful thinking on my part but I've never loved a Halo game online as much as 2 and would love to see that return in a big way. How did the original PC port of 1 handle multi ?
Oh well, I can dream.
Oh well, I can dream.
Better yet, release both!

I don't have the money for a PC, but this would be awesome.
Nope, Halo 3.
Anyway, I'm very excited about this release, I'll get it day 1 even if it's overpriced like AOE2 is going to be.
Was registered on Steam.....its probably coming to Steam.
Might be a Windows 8 game though.

Halo 3 was a great game and PC enthusiasts should be happy to have it. That being said, "been there done that."

I hope they release this without paid for multiplayer - I'll be all over it.
Why would you have to pay for it? Even if it had GFWL they have not charged for that in years.
That sounds a bit superfluous, since I'm pretty sure the Anniversary version of Halo is just the original game with a "current-gen particle effects, higher-polycount, and more detailed textures" mode you can switch on and off at will during gameplay. Maybe there are more differences when it comes to the multiplayer mode?
Unless you mean it'd be better from a pricing standpoint, since the Anniversary edition would probably mean the regular edition would be much cheaper in comparison.

I'm not a big Halo fan but I'll get this eventually if it comes to Steam.
Hope it isn't Windows 8 exclusive. Don't fuck this Microsoft.

Halo 3 needs to be realeased including ODST.
I need those games. I've played them for hours and hours, and I want to experience them again in all their glory.
Halo 3 downsampled is going to look mindblowingly good.
