Because most XBLA games are old. (More then 10 years defiantly)

Halo would be too big to put online for download.

  • 07.18.2007 5:36 PM PDT

And because Bungie is too busy working on Halo 3(duh) to do something like that.

I agree...for the love of God, please put Halo on the XBLA. Halo 3 isn't even Halo anymore. It is like Bungie listened to the most retarted ideas on the forum and crammed them into some piece of crap that will sell just because of the name. However, since this idea is not retarted, Bungie obviously will not listen to it...

I grew up playing your games Bungie, and I sure as hell am looking forward to whatever you decide to do next.

It's Xbox Live ARCADE. Not, "Hey, lets put a game that came out on our own console 6 years up for download".

Why don't you just buy a $15 copy of halo?

  • 07.19.2007 2:47 AM PDT

It's far too big, and far too new. Maybe during the next generation of consoles it would be a more viable candidate.

Exactly, also, Bungie won't re-make Halo, so we have to wait for some small off-shoot company to come along and totally re-do Halo for us.

I'm just wondering, but do you know what the search bar is for? :)

You guys are retarted....nobody wants the campaign to go on the XBLA, we just want the multiplayer.

  • 07.19.2007 6:58 AM PDT

Why bungie? Just give it to us we will buy it, bungie will profit, and the whole community would be thankful to you for doing it. Everyday I check the forums I find a thread about this. Instead of wasting time with marathon (It is a good game but come on) how about putting someone to work on halo 1 instead.

It is not like halo2, or 3 would suffer from a release of halo 1 with multiplayer matchmaking, and v.c. on arcade.

Bungie isn't wasting any time with Marathon 2:Durandal, another company with some people who used to work at Bungie are releasing Marathon 2:Durandal for the 360. Ok, you may see a lot of threads in this sub-forum about how we want it to come to Live, but do you know how many people won't buy it? Tons, Bungie won't profit by re-writing the entire game, and personally, I would hate it if it came to Live, so much for your whole community being thankful arguement.

Whatever bro, you know very well this would not be a loser. I am aware marathon is being done by another company, and that it could be halo 1 instead....

Cake>Pie!
Hey you saw my sig! :)
Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

Several reason why not.

1. It is not old enough or a arcade type game.
2.The size. The download would take like a day and a half.

  • 07.19.2007 12:31 PM PDT

It's only been six years. XBLA is what it's named - an arcade. You'll find typical arcade games, along with other games and stuff. Throwing in a 3D FPS that you could simply buy is useless.

It would be like Steam if Halo was on it - whether you download it or get it retail, it's going to be the exact same thing. Xbox Live is not coming to Halo 1. Halo 1 is done, leave it alone. If you want to keep enjoying the multiplayer, then by all means do so - but don't expect anything to change.

XBC - play Halo with other people

Halo PC - play the true online Halo

It's all you have.

Why do you guys start crying and yelling that Halo 1 is dead and that we should leave it alone. Why on earth would we want H1, a game that is better than H2 and will be better than H3, to die? And for anyone who says to play H1 on XBC....everyone knows it is not up to par with XBL, so stop being bastards and telling us to go play on that.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

this has been addressed time and time again. bungie is not going to re-work the game in order to make in xbl anything, arcade, multiplayer anything.

xbla argumanet: the game is both far too large and still current. you can still go buy halo brand new for as high as $34, why put it on arcade for less money?

xbl multiplayer argument: several of bungies mods have commented that in orde to do this the game would need to be recoded, essentially remade to function properly. bungie is not going to remake a game, period. i beleive it was sketch who said they want halo to remain the way it is, and to change it would be to insult the memory, or something along those lines.

let it go guys, it's not gonna happen.

You guys all make good points, but the reality is full multiplayer games are already on ps3. Arcade, disc, whatever would be a winner. I have halo on pc, and I don't enjoy it. I want live, and I want matchmaking. You don't ever get anything if you don't ask....Sometimes you have to ask a lot for a long time.

Stop being bastards and saying that your opinion is fact.

Don't insult anyone else's intelligence using a word you can't spell. That really is shooting yourself in the foot.

You're right that the component people want is the multiplayer. But that's still too big and the game is still too new. I figure bungie might let some other company re-work it into an XBLA-style download in a few years, though.

people have been asking, for a very long time. since xbl became so huge people have been asking for this. it's not gonna happen. at least 4 different moderators have come right and and said it isn't happening and have gone on to explain why (see my post above).

besides most of the ports on xbla are nearly a decade old, not a few years.
