I still own my original copy from back in the day. Do you think it will be compatible with achievements?

... if it has online, lots of people play it (Marathon: Durandal multi is AWESOME fun, but nobody plays it anymore) for along time to come, and said online mode is not compatible with the Halo CE disk I still have, then sure.

This thread has already been done half a dozen times (at least). Most people will buy it if it has Live, most people won't if it doesn't.

C'mon Halo (and Fable).

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

Why would we pay for something we already have? Thread is pointless.

Does anyone else find it odd that there's no front page announcement here on Bungie's page, but it's mentioned at Xbox.com? Wouldn't Bungie want to tell people about this?

  • 11.15.2007 2:38 PM PDT

From what I've read, this is just a port of the original xbox game saved on your HDD. It's for people who are new to halo with Halo 3, and want to play the original, not us with our nostalgic Original Xbox discs. Nothing has changed; no achievements or online. So no, I won't be downloading it.

However, if we get an update from Bungie saying we will get them, then I say yes.

Real men use magnums.

microsoft already confirmed that there wont be achievements or anything new in the game. they said when you click run on the dashboard it will be identical to putting the xbox disc in your 360. unfortunately that also means no xbox live guide for messaging and listening to music.

ITs meant for people who jumped on the Halo 3 bandwaggon to learn what original gaming is like, and how to understand the Halo Story.

no, major nelson said that the games are the EXACT thing as what the original games were, no MP in halo 1, no achievements (as far as i know).

so basically, its just a HUGE rip-off.

I just read on Xbox.com that Halo Combat Evolved is coming out for Xbox-live dec 4th. Which we all mostly own Halo CE for xbox or pc. The thing is will there be achievements, online multiplayer and maybe i doubt it online co-op. It's going to 1200 points hell why not i got room. But if they adleast have Achievements and Online Multiplayer. I'll be playen that instead of Halo 3 because Halo 3 doesn't have rocketlaunching shooting warthogs that don't blow up. And hellllo sidewinder and blood gulch what's better?

I'm certifiable.

I believe (though I'm not certain) that the downloadable copy of Halo 1 will feature only what was on the original DVD. I know for certain that there's no Live support built in for multiplayer. So I'll be sticking with my Halo 1 disc instead of downloading it.

-- Steve'll be all over the Psychonauts one, though. Local stores have been sold out for years on that title; you can't even find used copies.

Hmm, considering my Halo: CE disk is all scratched up, and I'd have to buy a new disk anyway, I might just shell out the cash for the arcade version. If it had live and achievements, I'd definitely get it. Since it doesn't, then I probably won't.

I'm down with that. Screw the Gamerscore whores, I'm not getting it even if it [i]has[i] Achievements.
