Kinda like the original HALO for Xbox

In commercials "ONLY ON XBOX" On the box of the game "Xbox exclusive"

But its now on PC ....

The orginal halo was only released on PC for a couple of reasons. Bungie promised it would make it to the pc eventually, and Microsoft thought it was a good idea to get more peolpe interested in the series, and go out to buy an xbox for Halo 2. It is not coming to the PC, ever, just like Kick_XP stated.

Just like Midtown Madness 1+2 were on the PC and 3 is xbox, and is not coming to the pc. The same goes for RalliSport Challenge iirc the second one will not be coming to the pc either.

It's also done for technical reasons. Halo development on the xbox (with final dev kits) was only around 6 months time, bungie were rushed with the engine and hated it. (the loader was done in less than a day which is why it takes so long to load levels for example)

Halo was very "PC-ish" in terms of most of the code, it wasn't really optimised well for the xbox. Although there were some things done with the rendering that can't be done on pcs, which is one of the resons it took so long for the port, and why it doesn't run as well on a PC. The other reason it doesn't run well on PCs is not because it was a bad port as everyone says, but because it's AI is so good, and it has heavy use of Bumpmapping/Pixel Shaders etc which hasn't really been done to that scale before in PC games and as such really pulls down performance a lot as you increase resolution (because everything is done per-pixel and increasing resolution is a drastic change on how many pixels the effect is being applied to)

This is also the same for Deus Ex, it's making heavy use of effects that aren't used in PC games yet, and as such people say it's "unoptimised" or a "crappy port" but the fact is that, if anything, the xbox got the worse version technically because it wasn't coded for the xbox, it's just running the PC engine with a couple of modified ini settings.
