This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

I love Halo CE. More than I do Halo 2. It just gave a better feal of the game. But, yes, I would definately like to see a remake with online capabilities.

I like Sidewinder too. That and Hang 'em High, not that new remake Tombstone. Anyways, I would like to see a Spartan customization thing in it like Halo 2 and the beta.

I wish, but probably won't happen. They'd have to rewrite all code and everything. That would be amazing if it happened, as I can't stand to play h2. After playing the beta h3 still isn't all that promising. I just wish h1 was still were it was a couple years ago. Now everythings about h2.

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

I'll sign anything that involves getting H:CE on XBL. I'd also pre-pay for it!
C'mon Bungie... give the fans what they want (and deserve!)

yes they should bring it back because halo:ce is still awesome and it's awesomenes would be X9000 TIMES BETTER and if you think this isn't true then your not a real halo fan nuf said.

If you're a real fan then by now you'd understand why they wouldn't, won't, and can't make this game online - geez I can't believe the people that post all this stuff as to why they should.

1) Bungie doesn't like Halo 1 Multiplayer that much anymore - there's a reason why certain things changed drastically for the following two games.
2) Why do people view the pistol as balanced? The most ridiculous reason I've ever heard for that is that everyone starts out with one. So what if everyone spawned with a rocket launcher that could clear the entire map? Would that be balanced too?
3) This is a 6 year old Xbox game and you want them to remake it for the 360 with online capabilities!? Alright, I know there are some games that are classics that people still play to this day, but c'mon - an Xbox-Live version of Halo 1 is just stupid to think about at this point in time.

If you really want to play halo online - do what everyone else is doing - get XBC or get Halo PC - they may not be the best alternatives, but they're the only ones you got.

the pistols balanced for the same reason that the brs needed for halo 2 to be balanced. If you started with plasma pistols (the default starting weapon) in halo 1, you could get destroyed all day by snipes and rockets and its pretty easy to just run around rocketing people for the entire game if they cant use or dont have the pistol. In halo 1, the pistol balances the game to the point where the better shooter wins without question. You can also outsmart better shooters (aka host) with controlling your own spawn, good use of tatics and grenade tricks in a manner that halo 2 and halo 3 has yet to recreate. this is a control of the game flow that is untouched by any other FPS. Therefore Halo is unique and extremely skill orientanted. It requires a degree of knowledge to understand why halo 1 is truly balanced and exciting at every mintue. this is impossible to recreate in a sequel so this is why people want it remade for xbl. IMPOSSIBLE TO RECREATE IN A SEQUEL.

You make it sound like if you spawn with the plasma pistol - that's the only gun you'll ever see around you unless you take your enemy's sniper, pistol or rocket.

Honestly, what is the point? A classic is a classic. But even if they did remake Halo CE, they should remake Halo 2 as well.

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

that would be dumb, play an old ass game after two better ones came out behind it, taking all the cool new features and maps away to play the original (which was and still is a great game) which just isn't as much fun to me anymore. The only times I go back to halo 1 is to play the campaign, I'm afraid I had to vote no, because I simply wouldn't rebuy a six year old game.

Actually the beta was fantastic and the final game will be even better, I see alot of denial from people who just don't want to let go of the game, and you don't have to let go, but quit bashing halo 2 because it WAS a good game just like halo 1 was a good game, and we all know that halo 3 will be a good game. I don't know, maybe some people just aren't use to change, I know I wasn't at first, but halo 2 warmed up to me really quick and I never touched halo 1 again until two months ago, and the only reason i touched it was to play the campaign. I miss the maps as well, but I would rather them update the maps and put them into halo 3 instead of putting out and brand new copy of halo 1 that would be a waste of money in my eyes. If you people want online play just go play the PC version.

Your a tool, I agree Halo CE is awesome, but I disagree with you about it being better and I promise i'm more of a true fan than you. Because a true fan isn't going to be stuck on just one game, yet support all games in the trilogy. I love halo 1 and I love halo 2, (not in that order) and they're the only two games I've ever played for long periods of time, games I keep going back to. I first played halo 1 the day it released, and I played it for three years on xbox and PC until halo 2 came out, then it was halo 2 for me, I once went back for a lan party but the only other time was just recently, and I had a blast playing the unforgettable campaign. So you have no right to determine that someone isn't a TRUE fan because they think the second game is better than the first.....nuf said.

Dumbest thing i've ever heard, in any game the better shooter wins, pistol spawns caused nothing but pistol wars which got old because no better ever used any other weapon. Really that wasn't a "BLAST", and I disagree with BR starts in halo 2 as well because its the same thing.

You can also outsmart better shooters (aka host) with controlling your own spawn, good use of tatics and grenade tricks in a manner that halo 2 and halo 3 has yet to recreate. this is a control of the game flow that is untouched by any other FPS. Therefore Halo is unique and extremely skill orientanted.

IMPOSSIBLE TO RECREATE IN A SEQUEL.

I agree Halo 1 takes alot more skill to play, but both games have skills and tactics to where you need to outsmart your enemy and out-shoot-them. But halo 1 is not TRULY balanced as you say, and they didn't need to recreate it in a sequel, because the sequel was a better project in my eyes, much more balanced gameplay, better overall Multiplayer than Halo CE ever had.

people these days are soo -blam!- retarded, if ur a real fan this, if ur a real fan that. well if ur a real fan then u would know how great halo 1 is and how much better it is than halo 2 and so far, halo 3

1)bungie doesnt like halo 1 multiplayer anymore???? where the -blam!- did u get that bull-blam!- from
2)the pistol is balanced and for that very reason, cuz everyone starts with one, and it is good for every situation. that way there is no weapon whoring, like in halo 2. in halo 2 the whole game plan was rush the snipe, rush sword, rush rockets, and then if u didnt get those weapons u were stuck with the -blam!- smg, have a fun time, is that balanced?? by having everyone start with a pistol, u could always get out of a situation, there was always a chance that you would defeat the guy with rockets, sniper, etc.
3) yes the game is six years old, and ur point is........? so ur telling me that just cuz a game is old they shouldnt remake it?? then y do they make doom, castlevania: SOTN, Contra, etc for xbox live arcade, those games are even older???

my final point is yes, they should make this game for xbox live, dont change the graphics, dont change the glitches (BLB, backpack reloading, etc), dotn change the maps, but add new maps, also maybe the save film feature should be added as well, but nothing else. now that's a recipe for an amazing game

  • 06.19.2007 7:37 AM PDT

In high definition baby!

It's a waste of time. They need to spend more time perfecting the Halo 3 beta to the final game of Halo 3. If you guys want to play Halo 1 online, get Halo PC and it's less than $20 now or you can wait for Halo 3 which could have suff you like from Halo CE.

OKAY I was ready to explode on you, but I've decided to tone myself down a bit. Since you call me retarded for saying Bungie doesn't like Halo 1's Multiplayer - I'm guessing you've NEVER EVER read one Halo 2 or 3 Weekly Update that included them, nor ever seen any new footage that Bungie has out for Halo 3. AND THAT is why I say 'If you're a real fan by now you'd understand'. Don't go shooting your mouth off about things you don't know.

And no - as I said - the pistol isn't balanced because everyone else starts out with it. You can put SOOOO many examples to that reason why, such as the rocket one I included. This weapon did everything. Of course, there are games where one weapon stands out amongst the rest. But sometimes it causes alot of problems. Let's take Counter Strike - probably the most popular multiplayer shooter in the world. You think everything there is perfect? The Deagle drops you faster (of course, with the way the game works) and what about the AWP - there are many many servers that outlaw it. Well what does Counter Strike have to do with Halo 1, you might wonder. Nothing really, I'm just showing you some examples of why certain power weapons are no fun for alot.

I play Halo PC, I never drop my pistol, I rarely cease to not place first. It becomes very boring after a while, and there are periods where I don't play for months because of how boring '*bang* *bang* *bang* You killed New001, repeat' becomes. Once I get Vista, I doubt I'll be playing Halo PC anymore. I honestly don't see how some of you can keep doing this all day. Of course, me liking Halo 2 over Halo 1 is my opinion, but with your argument, I guess I'm not a real fan.

The reasons those games came back are because I'm sure those games don't have an online matchmaking, okay? Halo 1 cannot support it - it came out long before Xbox Live did - and without recoding a large portion of the game, they cannot add online matchmaking. Yet again, you'd have to read some of the early updates to realize that.

You can add so many things to this 'if you're a real fan' statement

What about 'if you're a real fan, you'd see why Bungie tried to push Halo towards a new direction'
'If you're a real fan, you'd see why Bungie continues to make new games, because their previous ones are successful (Halo 2-Halo 3)
'If you're a real fan, you'd know why remaking the exact same game, with the exact same graphics, with the exact same glitches, and the exact same maps is the most confusing stupid thing ever, because what's to be gained from it?'

Why bring back Halo 1 exactly as is, but with Halo 3's saved films feature? You know what. I have an idea. Go start your own company, and ask Bungie and Microsoft if you can port Halo 1. Because A) They never will. B) If the did, we'd be playing the exact same game, just with more people at more times, C) Bungie has better things to do than please you people with your pistol addictions. Just please, let go, give up. It's never happening, and it never will. Bungie doesn't like the pistol, so they will not bring back Halo 1 especially after developing Halo 2 and Halo 3 to further advance Halo 1. Why go through all that trouble, just for you guys to think that they would say 'Okay, guys, our new games sucked. Let's just remake Halo 1, throw some of our newest features in. I cab't believe we wasted 6 years of our time when we could have just remade Halo and moved to Acapulco'

Guess who would be the only people buying this new Online-enabled Halo? The only people who don't know how to let go and move on. Why is that, you see? Well, not only would this game suffer having some of the worst graphics on the 360, but to people that gave up Halo long ago because of no online - I doubt that several years later they'd be on their knees in tears of happiness.

I've said it once, I'll say it once again. BUNGIE WILL NOT REMAKE HALO 1. Bungie is about moving forward, as any company is. They, along with Microsoft realize that halo 1 with Xbox Live would sell, but just how much? And look did Bungie port Halo 1 to the PC? No. They have other things to worry about *CoughHalo2Cough*. Did they port Halo 2 to PC? No, again, they have other things to worry about (Just in caase you haven't realized yet, Halo 3)

Halo 3 is Bungie's newest game. They are proud at how far they've come from Halo 1's success, and they are trying to improve on it. Why go so far only to turn back just for the ones that got left behind?

Think about that.

so basically you just called yourself retarded right? I do know how great Halo CE is, but the only part that could possibly be better is the campaign story (not gameplay). I promise i'm more of a fan than you so don't even argue that because I think Halo 2 is better then I'm not a real fan, you have no authority or right to judge people on what they are truly fans of.

1)bungie doesnt like halo 1 multiplayer anymore???? where the -blam!- did u get that bull-blam!- from

Not that they don't like it, but they found things they could have done better, and they have. The folks at Bungie hardly play Halo 2, and I gaurentee they NEVER play Halo CE because Halo 3 is in the spotlight, CE had its time.

2)the pistol is balanced and for that very reason, cuz everyone starts with one, and it is good for every situation. that way there is no weapon whoring, like in halo 2. in halo 2 the whole game plan was rush the snipe, rush sword, rush rockets, and then if u didnt get those weapons u were stuck with the -blam!- smg, have a fun time, is that balanced?? by having everyone start with a pistol, u could always get out of a situation, there was always a chance that you would defeat the guy with rockets, sniper, etc.

I like the pistol but its too repetitive, no flavor, not enough variety in the fighting. SMG starts are a little better because it give the players a chance to fight for weapons, if you suck so bad that you couldn't out smart your enemy then thats your fault. I could argue the same thing about the battle rifle as you are with the pistol, we've heard it, and we don't care. Enough about the pistol, its not that great of a weapon anyway,.

3) yes the game is six years old, and ur point is........? so ur telling me that just cuz a game is old they shouldnt remake it?? then y do they make doom, castlevania: SOTN, Contra, etc for xbox live arcade, those games are even older???

The point that most every halo fan probably already owns Halo CE, and many people that are like me aren't going to pay for another copy of a game they already have. Regardless whether or not it has XBL, i'd rather play halo 3 that has more weapons, better gameplay, prettier maps over a game thats just an old school thing i'd rather play with my buddies. Those games are in the Arcade because they're small enough to be put into arcade, but they're the exact same games that I've played before, so I don't pay for them. Those games being there are the epitome (look it up) of why halo shouldn't be remade.

my final point is yes, they should make this game for xbox live, dont change the graphics, dont change the glitches (BLB, backpack reloading, etc), dotn change the maps, but add new maps, also maybe the save film feature should be added as well, but nothing else. now that's a recipe for an amazing game

Don't change anything but add new maps and the save film feature.....well your in luck sir, they took out all the crap from halo 1, removed the maps and the crappy overpowered pistol and added much more weapons, new maps, and a save film feature. They even changed the campaign mode and renamed the game, its called Halo 3, and if you want any fun at all you'd play it....if not you'll have to stick to you PC and system linking with your sister.

I would love for bungie to put Halo CE into xbox live arcade or something. Bungie would make a killing off how many people would buy it. Halo CE was so much more fun and skill based. Although I highly doubt that bungie would do this because I honestly think that Halo 3 wouldnt do as well. Yea, sure most people will still buy halo 3 because its new, but im betting that there would be more people playing Halo CE than Halo 3 and they would then look stupid because their new game isnt as great. Oh and i think matchmaking for halo 2 wont exist anymore because there will be nobody playing that terrible game. That game shouldnt have even been made. Halo CE on XBL might turn into a world of warcraft though. I think I would turn into a hermit just playing it day and night. Maybe thats the real reason Halo CE isnt going to be on XBL. Too many kids would lose their lives to it like World of Warcraft did.

Did you even read any of the thread?

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Idiots, lets paint mona lisa again but with glasses. Waste of Time, HaloCE is already in its full potential, Halo2 isnt, Halo3 could would should and will be in full potential and be better game than either. Waste of Time.

Problem with HaloCE is that i often forget im playing a game, like i often do with racing games, i drive and dont know im playing and after i have won i think ok what did i just do. HaloCE mostly repeats that, take pistol, theres someone, shoot, theres someone, shoot, soon i forget and just do it by memory and after game is over i am left without anything to get exited about. I like Halo2 style where you have to think somethink and not just to repeat, you are saying Halo2 is all about rushing to sword, sniper, rocket... but thats already 3 weapons against HaloCEs 1 weapon. Forza is good game but difference bethween Forza1 and 2 is 5% and i wont buy Forza 2 to see 360 graphics and gameplay when i forget im playing, i rather buy Burnout or Flatout.

Ya....thats it....you see how popular the halo CE forum is compared to the halo 3 forum? Ya um...thats about as popular as Halo CE on the Arcade would be against Halo 3. That was either the best post ever being the whole thing was sarcasm, or it was the dumbest post ever if you actually believe what you said.

How can people already have said HaloCE>Halo2>Halo3, where is the Halo3? I dont need to argue with people wo think everythink new will be bad. HaloCE live would be bad because its newer than HaloCE

Waste of Time, atleast not for 360.
