I played the first halo online for years on my PC...didn't even bother buying Halo 2. Just kept playing the first until 3 came out. But now nobody freaking plays. I'd love to be able to go back to the Gulch and kick some ass.

i dont see any reason to release halo 1 on market place if it doesnt have XBL multiplayer rumor thats going around is that it wont. honestly buying it from marketplace if it doesnt have XBL multiplayer is completely pointless. i mean big deal im pretty sure we all have enough room somewhere in our house to put a disk and plus if you dont have it already you can buy it used for cheaper and then you will have 2 extra gigabites on your hard drive

Halo 1>Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>Halo 3

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

I'm gunna, I don't care if theres no Achieviments, I've had Halo 1 so long, I can't even work half the maps anymore. I won't need to worry about a scratchy disk, and, it's cheaper.

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

<3 Foman

-WILL it be able to play system link with other h1's
-Will they upgrade resolution/anti aliasing at all

There's already h1 online, its call XBC. (xlink was better but they killed it)

Like previously stated they would have to rewrite the code so it would work on 360 for achievments and live...and for that they may aswell update graphics and game engine, update weapons and give me equipment like in the books...oh wait thats H3.
Besides Halo CE online was fun on XBC but still lacked H2's polish...I'll pay my stupid M$ points yes I'll foolishly throw money at Bungie and M$ cause they are just so super rocking awesome. You'll be playing this game with your children someday the way your parents put you on to star wars.


I don't think it would be too much to ask for to include an online system. XBC already does it. So if a 3rd party company can use the pre existing to get online going, then why can't microsoft include an online games list and let people join. Maybe it would lag less than XBC. Jeeze put a little effort into the game that fuquing made them more than just a wannabe. Or else they would be stuck where ps3 is now.

I believe it was Recon Number 54 who said that was a possibility, but I haven't even heard any rumors on the matter. However, the fact that a Master Forum Ninja would say that, does bring hope. Since the game is being emulated, it would be feasible to build a XBC style tunnel into the emulator. Since they're doing a lot of things in the next update, it wouldn't be entirely shocking to see it, but I've heard absolutely nothing concrete. So, we can only hope.

With all due respect to our great friend and administrator, just because he's a moderator doesn't mean you should take what he says regarding these topics more seriously than if he wasn't one. As well informed and as intellectual as he may be, I think I recall him saying something alone the lines of "Your guess is as good as mine." I just wanted to point that out. :)

I guess I made it sound more likely than it probably is. I was just wanted to point out that it's technologically feasible; I suspect he would know that much.

So let me get this straight. Bungie confirmed that there won't be achievements or XBL? Then why would you pay $15 for something you can buy on EBay for $5?

You can load it straight from your Xbox 360, and you can get it nearly instantly. It doesn't sound like it's worth it to me, but it probably is to someone.

Absolutely not. I already have the damn game. If it doesn't have XBL support (and yes, I'm very well aware as to the technical reasons why that is so), and/or achievements, then why waste my money?

Yeah, I guess that's true. So it is confirmed that it doesn't have achievements?

I believe on the MLG website it says that it will not have achievements or xbox live. I don't get why they're doing this.

So you had to make your own thread about it repeating the same thing, right? :D

Here's a Gamespot interview with "Xbox Live group marketing manager Aaron Greenberg." http://www.gamespot.com/news/6182876.html


GS: So there won't be enhanced content or added online play in Xbox Originals?

AG: No. What we're basically doing is taking the games as they were originally created and maintaining that. We want to preserve the integrity of what that original game experience was like. If they have online multiplayer, it's there. Whatever functionality was built into that original game is what people will get. We're not going back and getting the teams that made the game and having them open the vault and recode them or anything like that.

GS: Will achievements, in-game messaging, and the rest of the Xbox 360 trapping be integrated somehow?

AG: It will perform just like a backward-compatible game, so you'll have limited access to those things. You'll be able to hit the guide button to get into the dashboard, but you won't have access to in-game messaging and things like that.
