This really needs to happen, a version of Halo 1 with Xbox Live. People keep saying... well ya thats what Halo:PC is for. Just 1 problem..... IT SUCKS!!!!! Its not that hard to remake a game that was already the Best FPS EVER and add Xbox Live. Halo 2 is a good game but is no comparison to Halo 1. The true Halo fans will agree with me but you newbs who always get owned at Halo 1 will disagree. PLEASE MAKE A HALO 1.5!!!!!

first off, how can you say that it wouldnt be that hard to implement live on halo 1? how many games have you designed? secondly, people who say that true halo fans will always agree that the first game is superior is absurd. many people like the first, many like the second, its all a matter of individual opinion. and finally, i myself have played halo since it was launched 3 years ago, but you will never see me talking down on "newbs" as so many people do. everyone is a newb at sometime, and it is just a video game. btw, halo 1.5 on xbox will never go live, deal with it.

All im saying they need to make Halo 1 with Live and yes all people are newbs at 1 time but not for 3 years! There are so amny people that suck at Halo 2. Its not that hard to pull the right and left trigger when you see a guy. And all these guys do is design games so its easy to them, plus they just have to take a version of Halo 1 and add Live to it they have done this with a bunch of other games for PS2 and PC so its not like this is something new if they added Online play into a game that has already been out for 3 years.

Halo 1.5 will never happen, and I do happen to be a true Halo/Bungie fan! But you know what my opinion is? Halo 1 had some serious problems with it, and Halo 2 managed to fix them.

So yeah, you say it needs to happen. That'd be like telling Da Vinci that he needs to make a version of the Mona Lisa with a man.

And finally, who are you to say it's easy because they have experience? It's still probably a very difficult task.

listen bro: i'm a designer and i've been doing it all my life, and nothing is just as easy as "take this and add this". -blam!- takes time and effort. why do you think you wait so long for these games to come out in the first place? and as far as newbies go...or in your words "those that suck"...if it ws so easy to be so good eveyone would be on the same level...and that would suck.

all you are saying is that its easy, yet still you are totally clueless on how it can, or might be able to be done. yes it has been done with other games on ather systems, as you said on the ps2, but keep in mind everything that goes into play with xbox live. xbox live and halo2 is totally integrated with this site for stats, clans, times played, etc.... also, i can be playing halo2 online, and see that my friend may be playing some other game, even if he is offline. just please, logically think about it, and realize that it is not as easy as you are hoping. and remember, bungie is first and foremost, a business. how much money could they make by letting you play a game that you have owned for 3 years online. they wouldnt. halo ce on live will never happen

alot of people who have played halo1 since its launch may not be nearly as good at halo 2 as they were at the first. so their excuse for it is that everyone who beats them online is a newb. fact is, halo 2 is not halo 1, and these people are halo 2 newbs. they hate it, i think its funny.

I own halo 1 for PC&Xbox and I do think halo2 sure fixed lots of problems but there should be online play in halo 1 but make it better then just halo 1 make it halo 3!! I'am a real bungie fan and hope you will not say other, but it would take a long time to make a halo 3 for PC ONLY for PC

Captain Ownage, you know that you aren't allowed to say the N-word, right?

The problem here is learning strategies. If someone that owned at Halo 1 and now sucks at Halo 2, that's very likely because there are many more strategies than just pick up the ultimate weapon and own with it. If you have a problem with the "spray and pray" technique, which can work well in certain situations, but not all, or even most in my opinion, use the Battle Rifle and a PP. Miss the ability for close gunning and wide range? Grab a BR and hold a magnum with a PP. The plasma pistol/magnum combo is great for close-midrange shots. If that's too close for you, try the PP and BR. The plasma pistol goes quite a distance with a little aim, and the BR kills quickly when you only need 1/3 or 2/3 of a burst to sit them down. The only difference is that the guns are more deadly up close, which requires more strategy. Trust me, dual wielding two SMGs is not better than holding one, with or without grenades. It's not hard taking someone down with two SMGs to one, as long as you're prepared. If you keep the proper distance (which takes a bit to learn, just experiment with it), one SMG with obliterate two, not to mention the ability to chuck grenades. All these people that whine about Halo 2 sucking often just haven't adapted to it yet, which takes more time than adapting to Halo 1 did. I admit it, I'm a pistol whore in therapy, but Halo 2 gives you so many more options, for close and long range fighting.

By the way, you can always make a gametype where you start with a Battle Rifle and all players do extra damage. It's almost Halo 1!

This guy sounds like a noob to me. Every other noob I find thinks he is the best, yelling at everyone calling them noobs when he could be beaten by a noob. You are living in the past, now we have HALO 2. You understand that their has been a new one and we dont need the first one online because we have the second online. I would bet you are just some kid who hates the sword so you want the first one back so you dont keep getting killed. And dude if you are such a GREEEAAT player than why arent your ranks great. And also I would think that a great player like you would be in a good clan. I cheaked out your clan and they SUCK. They have a 4 in minor and havent played any major . I have my own clan that has a 9 in minor and I dont go around bragging about it. SO STOP BEING SUCH A NOOOOOOOOOB
