Does anyone else think that Bungie should have halo combat evolved on the halo 3 disc (called old school halo, or something like that) so that Halo CE is playable on xbox live? If they do I recommend that they keep everything the same, same physics and junk. For those that can not LAN it up this would be a great thing for Bungie to do, for those of us that don't like Halo 2 particularly much we rather play Halo CE and Halo 3, they are and will be much funner.

Ok, before the "new hawtness" I could understand some random retard comiing in here and posting a question in the wrong forum. But now that this forum has a big banner saying "HALO 1 & 2 FOR PC" I thought such stupidity would be a thing of the past. So what's your excuse? Are you blind? Or stupid? Or both? Go to the Halo 3 forum.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

That would be great.

Yeah this thread is unrelated to this forum, but...

It's highly unlikely this will happen, although I will point out that previously non-XBL games have been redone to be played on Xbox Live. See Dead or Alive Ultimate (it was crap, but that's besides the point).

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

First off, wrong forum. Second of all, I wouldn't call Halo CE old school or retro, it's only one generation back. What I'd call retro is the original Metroid as compared to Metroid Prime.

That's a large amount of engineering work, unfortunately it's not just a case of hitting an xbox live compatible checkbox. :p The networking engine was completely overhauled between 1 and 2, a significant amount of work would be required to get the original halo working with the new system, this is work they don't have time for, as they're obviously focusing their efforts on Halo 3. Furthermore, there will not be an overwhelming public demand for this sort of thing. There is a reasonable proportion of core Bungie fans who preferred some aspects of Halo 1 gameplay to that of Halo 2, but this group is a minority over the the entire Halo fan base.

Providing a rehash of an old game on the Halo 3 disc would also convey worrying signals - it would seem as though they thought they made a mistake with Halo 2 (as Halo 1 is a step back) and it may also seem as though they can't rely on the work they've put into Halo 3. Bringing back an old game and distributing it with your latest work makes it seem like the latest work alone is not enough. Neither of these are the kind of signals you want to be giving off, and Bungie certainly doesn't think in this way - so it wouldn't happen, even if they could dedicate a separate team to it.

I'm just going to restate what everybody else has just said:

1. Wrong forum.

2. This is quite possibly the 1,343,456,129th topic regarding Combat Evolved enabled for Live. People post about this almost every week, and everybody gives the same answer, which all boils down to, "[b]It ain't going to happen. Get over it."
