i was wondering if after you guys (Bungie) release Halo 3 and take a break. if you can release just the multiplayer portion of Halo: CE on the 360 via the marketplace or dvd game disc, but make it Xbox Live compatible. i'm not sure how much work it would involve to accomplish this. i am hoping not too much since the game is already made. but, i guess if you don't want to... at least i asked. and i guess XBC is as good as it will ever get.


i know it would be a huge moneymaker for you guys. put a halo2 type matchmaking/party system in it.. it would be Halo Heaven and would complete Halo as making it a multiplayer online trilogy.

Do we want it to happen? Yes. Will it? No.

I would be happy if they even kept the same lag that we have to deal with on XBC. If it goes on xbox live I don't want it to change at all. Same textures, everything.

Yes, I would buy that in an instant, if not quicker!

Do people still play it over XBconnect?

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

I actually would love to see Halo 1 xbl compatible. I honestly doubt i'd even play halo 3 MP at all.

I'd be lying if i said i would not like to see a graphical upgrade, while EVERTHING else remaining exactly the same.

Plus add some of those awesome PC Halo 1 MP maps would be a welcomed addition.

The only reason I wouldn't want a graphical upgrade is because in my opinion the graphics in halo 2 make it more difficult to find the players. At least in the halo 1 levels it was very easy to find people because there weren't textrues apon textures behind the player making it tougher to find them.

So very true. But i think it might be due to the ridiculous amount of detail that is removed in halo 2 as characters get further away from view. Halo 1 did not suffer from this nearly as much. Also MC in Halo 1 just seemed to look more solid then he did in halo 2, if that makes any sense?

It actually does, the fact that the graphics in Halo made the game feel more horror/survival is a huge step above the graphics in halo 2 because in halo 2, the graphics all shine off each other and it all looks like very bright plastic.

I know my opinion on the graphics is in the vast vast minority, but I still feel as if the insane number of textures make visibility in the map much harder. At lesat from a multiplayer standpoint. By all means keep all the textures in the campaign.

So very true. A lot of it has to do with Halo 2's over use of bump-mapping; gave everything a nice plastic shine to it. Halo 1 used it sparingly with only inside structures, while MC himself, weapons and the outside environment did not have it.
