I've been a big fan of Bungie games ever since the original Marathon, and now that Halo:CE is getting released over XBLA, I would absolutely love for it to be live-enabled.

I understand that you don't want to waste manpower to work on a really old game. But given the amount of fan interest in a live-enabled Halo:CE, wouldn't it be a nice gesture to all of the hardcore Halo fans that have been there since 2001 to do it, or work with a third-party (e.g. Gearbox) to add in live-compatibility?

I can personally say that I have greatly enjoyed Halo 2 and 3, but they do feel like very different games than Halo:CE. That's totally fine, but having the ability to play Halo:CE over Xbox Live would be an amazing experience because of the unique Halo:CE feel. Yes, the game was very unbalanced in a certain sense, and yes the physics could be ridiculously wacky sometimes. But for many of us, that's a big part of the charm of Halo:CE.

So Bungie, as a loyal fan and on behalf of other loyal fans, I'm asking you to make the XBLA version of Halo:CE live-enabled. Thanks!

Or even charge $300 for it, and charge $15 for the regular game.

You cannot put a price on that game, and you cannot put a price on it especially if it were live enabled.

Please do this, please. I'm tired of fighting duel maulers.

"its not the years, its the mileage"

Wow, I could not have said it any better. Not to sound like a crazed halo CE geek, but yea, I'd totally drop a benjamin on CE live enabled. Not just for the multiplayer maps, but to play that wonderfull campaign with online co-opt :drools:
