You guys are obviously forgetting about one thing, Halo 3. If they spend all of this time re-making a game just to have Xbox live then Halo 3 will get postponed for some time. It would take quite some time for them to make Halo 1 Xbox live enabled. IMHO I want Halo 3 so much more then I would ever want a Halo 1 XBL right now. I doubt I would even buy it if it was just the same game as Halo 1 except online, seems kinda stupid.

Unfortunataly I don't have Live... Yet. In a week or so, I will get REAL broadband, and after Xmas I will have lots of money. The only problem is that I don't know how to get live to run over our wireless network.

Twice as many people have responded to a poll at http://Halo.Bungie.Org in the past 2 days, which asks what maps players would like to see return in Halo 2, than have signed the Halo 1.5 Petition in 2 weeks. Comparing those numbers to the 10,000 players who are online during the slowest hours of XBL H2, or the 300,000 unique players who play Halo 2 on XBL in any given 24 hours, wouldn't even be fair.

Do you really think it's worth it to Bungie and Microsoft to produce a game which probably wouldn't break the 100,000 copy barrier for at least a year, instead of working on their upcoming projects which are more commercially viable? Microsoft is known to research and test every idea conceivable a great deal, so isn't it probable that the idea of a Halo 1.5 was considered and rejected? Especially considering how Bungie answered that very question over a year ago, with a resounding no.

To answer the question, no I wouldn't pay for a copy of the original Halo on XBox Live. I played that game for 2 years, and am enjoying the change of pace.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't like halo 2 that much i love it, and personally i like that they took out the old pistol and put the magnum in place of it. I also wouldn't pay $50 just to be able to play halo online because halo 2 is much better with the new weapons and all, but i have to agree that i would like some of the maps back from halo. But other than all that i feel i Microsoft has done a great job.

We don't want it back just for the original maps. The game play is much better. Skill wise and teamwork wise. I would spend $200 dollars for it. I don't care about the leveling crap either. Thats just a way to try and get people addicted to halo 2 because it sux so much a$$. I want the live to be custom games. Not that matchamaking bull crap. If bungie and microsoft really wanna make money then they should release halo 1 for xbox live. It would make much more money then halo 2 and all they would half to to is spend like a month on it to enable it for live.


You say matchmaking is for making people addicted to halo 2 well your wrong i beleive your the one that is addicted, addicted to halo i mean. Also the matchmaking is a good idea because not everyone likes playing with custom games, atleast i don't, all the time and not having it count on a record.

Only problem is: I don't have Live and it seems to me my dad won't be getting it for quite awhile. Come on! I'm almost 16! By the time he gets around to it I'll be moved out, unless he has a change of intelligence.

If Halo 3 is like halo 2 i'm not even gonna waste my time buying it. Halo 2 has to be the worst upset i've ever endured. It takes no skill, the multiplayer bites, and the way you can't pick what you're doing unless u go custom games with only people you know blows. If they changed the weapons to make them more balanced for the sucky players who couldn't get a 3 shot headshot to save thier life, then y punish the rest of us who can. I WANT MY PISTOL!

Halo 2 owns. The people that say it dosen't need to go and have a cat scan to make sure they are well. I bet half the people that say Halo 2 sucks, haven't played it and don't have the money to buy it. Persoanaly I would not buy that at all Halo 2 is the better version of halo 1 evertthing is better EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

It's never going to happen, nobody would buy it. If Halo 2 wasn't out, the sales might be ok. I think Microsoft and Bungie are more interested in making money rather than losing it.

On the contrary Hexz, i believe that everyone who was great at halo 1 preordered halo 2 or was hyped about getting it. I love both games but they run on 2 different engines for multiplayer and honestly, if people still get the urge to go onto xbc to play the original over halo 2 on xbl, then you which style was more prefered. Yes re-releasing the 1st one with live would be bad in the shadow of halo 2, but if it was priced about 30 dollars and it was very inexpensive or wasn't time consuming for bungie/ms then i think it would be a great sale.I think many of the people who loved the first game and didn't jump on the band-wagon of the 2nd one will buy it knowing a true work of art. Also hexz, I know the only real people who believe that "halo 2 is better version at everything than halo 1" are the stupid monkeys who sucked balls at the first one so they played the 2nd one and because their "decent", and wish to stay "decent" instead of sucking online on the first one

I am geting sick and tierd of the so called "pros" saying Halo2 sucks.Look Halo and Halo2 are prety much the same in terms of qualety and in terms or skill and enjoyment.The only reason people dident realy get good at Halo was because A)Not everyone could set up a lan every week with different people each time and B)They couldent go up the skill level fast enoghf because of all the people who managed to get decentwithin the first few weeks of playing owned them every time with the most versatiel weapon in the game the pistol.Nowthose who played on xbc werent much better than the ones who played in lans because the percentage of people who played Halo on xbc were just as small as those who played on lans reguarly.Now suddenly Halo2 is out and not only has the best weapon from the first game been nerfed but now people from around the world are playing and now you have alot of competition that most of wich are better than you and for some reason you dont say huh maby i wasent so good after all no you say"GOD ThIS GAME SUCKS IM LOOSEING TO -blam!- NOOBS!!!" look there is skill in Halo2 you just havent found it because you are used to playing on lans with a select group of people who were more predictable thanthe ones online....

oh and i would stick with halo2 but it would be nice to get all the complainers to stop...
