Halo 3 on Steam?

[printerpaper]

Found some stuff, and this hasn't been brought up yet.

From IGN:

Microsoft responds:
kotaku.com/5981600/responding-to-rumors-microsoft-says-halo-isnt-coming-to-steam

Then, suddenly, a wild AMD driver appears!
www.gamechup.com/halo-3-pc-code-found-in-amd-catalyst-drivers/

Microsoft still says "no dice":
www.neogamr.net/news/amd-driver-code-shows-halo-3-pc-support-but-microsoft-says-no

This is everything I've got. Been scouring the web since I discovered it. I'm personally leaning on the side of optimism here, as the vast majority of the other titles in that Steam list have been confirmed.

If this happens. . . Party time. H3 modding and a good carbine, thanks for the dig.

Legit pirate ship sword battles via floating Elephants. Calling it now.

The only thing missing from Halo 3 was the health bar. All I got from that was:
Shields up: Yeah, you're good. All that red stuff on the floor is just pocket spaghetti now.
Shields flashing: RUN AWAAAY! RUN AWAAAY!
Lying still: HE'S DEEEAAAAAD.

That's why I liked Reach, because in Halo 3 the shields really were your health. Oh, Halo 1.

That's not exactly true. A lot of people didn't realize it, but there is a hidden health bar in Halo 3. Each player has 45 health points and 70 shield points. When a player's shields fail, their health becomes vulnerable. If the player avoids taking damage for 10 seconds, their health will slowly regenerate at a rate of 9 points per second.

I only knew this cuz I played Halo 3 like a religion (and I would again). So I enjoyed abusing the fact that most people didn't entirely understand the health mechanics.

True, but unless your opponent wasn't using any of the marksman rifles and didn't know how to headshot, being unshielded meant your death was just one headshot away.

I miss VIP; that was an amazing concept for a game mode on larger maps.

Halo is best PvT.
