Because they want you to buy a xbox 360 so they could make money just like the competition, if they put it out on the computer then you won't have to buy a 360 and you could still play it, this game by far will boast xbox 360 sales through the roof. This game will be reason enough to own a 360 for the people that don't. Halo fans rejoice 

Please, noth of you, get your brains checked.

They spent 6 months working on the controls for the console, and by the demo I can tell that if it were even possible to have online between PC and 360(which it isn't), the console's would most definitly win.

I really really don't want to repeat myself over 5 threads a day, but I guess I'll have to do it again.

Halo is a console game, thus Halo Wars will be a console game, make sense?  The controls are near perfection, this isn't some port like C&C3, this is built from the ground up for the 360.  XBL doesn't lag as much, most people don't have PCs capable of delivering Halo Wars in decent quality, and mostly, the time and attention to detail would take twice as long to do for both the 360 and PC, thus killing the quality of the game.  This is how it will happen.

PC gamers don't really care too much because not as much of them are Halo fans, and the ones that do shrug their sholders at it because the gameplay is medicore.  Then console gamers that have preordered it, and grab it as soon as it appears on the stores shelves are dissapointed by crappy gameplay, and the fact that it has Halo in it's name can't even save it.

This is stupid why can't he halo wars be for computer.  I mean come on all real-time strategy games are always for computer why can't he'll be like that.  Whoever thinks that halo wars should be for computer should be posting on the site if not your a Total loser.  Also as kind of unfair because some people don't have Xbox 360.  Because we may now have Xbox 360 but I have this amazing computer and I can't do anything about it.  Hey don't take my word for maybe if we become a group we could fight for this so it can't be on PC.

my god, NT was like Sadam Husieen, he was evil but kept the noobs at bay. (dont flame me i liked him, but u gotta admit he was both evil and a necisary evil)

Ok i'm off now to make my great flashing sig:

"Search or i will pull off your head, urinate down your throat, put your head back on then punch you in the face." 

what should i feel right now?

ah yes pleasentries first. Welcome to the Halo Wars Forums!

and its Command and Conquer

Ok here is the major problem with a pc only version of the game: Not everyone has a good computer!!! To play this game you would need a good computer with whatever parts that not everyone has. But every single xbox 360 CAN play this game. I would prefer this game on 360 cause that means more people can play this game.

When I logged on and noticed a thread named "why can't hal............"   I automatically knew it would mean a pc version game thread lol. Has it gotten that bad?
