I'm just curious what Microsoft and Bungie are thinking. What kind of company fails to make one of their biggest games ever ,(HaloCE), playable on Xboxlive, despite the desperate pleas of all the Halo fans out there? Am I missing something? Nintendo and Sony aren't this stupid. If Halo had been on their console to begin with, this problem would have been taken care of a long time ago. Is it laziness? Is it punishment? I don't care if it would be a pain to redo all over again. No one does. I'd pay 70 bucks for a remake of the game to play on xboxlive, maybe more, and that is with no graphical improvement. Just give me the best possible straight port, (multiplayer only), that can be done and I'll be happy. How long are people going to have to dream about this with no hope of ever seeing it come to fruition? Seriously, the more I realize how many people out there are just like me sitting here waiting, and waiting some more for this to happen, makes me realize just how big of a slap in the face it is to all HaloCE fans.

Somebody do something! Bill Gates, do something! Bungie, do something!! You guys have the opportunity to achieve greatness, a complete all-around greatness to the entire Halo series, by finally acting upon this one demand that has been around ever since the introduction of Xboxlive.

Im sure it would be a huge pain to go back and recode everything just to make it playable online. They would also have to deal with other barriers im sure to ensure smooth gameplay and no cheating. If they had put it online a year ago they probably would have made a ridiculous amount of money because every single halo player would buy it. Im sure it was for economic reasons they did not bring back h1 for online, but i always want to think that it was because they were too stubborn to look back at the past (or admit they made quite a few mistakes with halo 2.)

Well crap. I thought I might get some more support, but apparently I was wrong. And maybe I was wrong about how many people would love to see a remake of the game for xbox live. /Cry

There's a lot of people that would. I would like to see it, as long as it didn't have voice and Bungie didn't screw it up. The thing is, Bungie won't do it, ever.

Yeah, you're probably right. At one point when Bungie discussed what new things Halo3 will have, they mentioned an unknown that should make HaloCE multiplayers happy. I'm probably completely wrong, but I'm hoping Halo3 allows you to customize the strength of each weapon. HaloCE fans could make the pistol as strong as it used to be. It would have to have a scope though. I can't even be sure that that would please people, but I think it would be nice.

We would love it if Halo was Xbox Live-enabled, dude. It just ain't freaking happening.

I would cut off both of my testicals, eat them, pull all of my teeth out with a rusty stapler and sell one of all my organs on eBay just to play H1 on xbl. Then i would eat myself!
