Because M$.

Also, it's a lot like Halo Wars, but built for mobile. I'll definitely be getting it when I get my new Windows 8 Touchscreen laptop this summer for college. I have a Win 8 laptop right now, but it's five years old and isn't a touchscreen.

Not what I expected, but it looks interesting.

THIS is what they replace Spartan Ops with? :(

This is a prequel to Spartan Ops, buddy. I severely doubt they will use this to replace Spartan Ops.

Yay! I've already got a windows 8 phone!

Also, may have jizzed a little....so happy it isn't an X1 game...

So basicly it is Halo Diablo. But why in the hell would you make it Windows 8 OS only. That is by far the most retarded thing I have heard this year. Seeing as not as many people use Windows 8 vs Windows 7 they would be wise to let windows 7 users also have the ability to play this game. Way to go Microsoft. Not only did you piss a bunch of people off but you cut your own profits in half.

It's to get people to buy windows 8.

Who would do that? Just for a 7 dollar halo game.....


Just take my money now Microsoft, I promise to buy a surface this Sumner.

Kind of. If people really want to play this game, and I mean, really want to, they'll pay to upgrade to Windows 8. Or pirate it.

Not really worth it

For 7 bucks it's not bad.

Make a PB&J sandwich instead of splurging on a Subway Sandwich, jerk. :P

I hate Sarah Palmer, I just wish they would kill her off.

Meh, I would love to play it. But im not gonna get a Windows Tablet or a Windows phone just to play it

[BlazeTokayuma]

I have Windows 8, but it sucks almost as bad as lag in the middle of battle nights so it is not something I am getting. Even if it is $7.
