Does anybody know? I realise Halo CE is b/wards compatible, but it won't work on a VGA Monitor - the message is something 'needs 50hZ...' - anyway, you get the message.

Pleeease let it be possible - and at the very least, let me play 2-player co-op online....

I don't think that's happening.

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

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

Unfourtanetly, it has been confirmed that it will be an exact copy of halo 1. That means no xbox live at all. You cant even have 16 individual xboxes in system link. Not really worth the money.

Don't like posting on my own stuff... but.... does it work on VGA Monitor?

  • 12.04.2007 4:12 AM PDT

My understanding is that it is an exact copy with nothing at all changed.

I can't tell you with 100% authority yet as I'm not (and won't be) getting it. But, I am 99.99999% certain and so are most people who have been following it as closely as I have - and believe me I have!

It's a shame, if only they'd fix that VGA support then I know a whole clan of people who would probably get it because as it is now we can't play it at our LANs. Everyone brings LCD monitors to play on, rather than TVs, for portability - so with no VGA we can't play it.

By the way don't worry about posting in your own thread - as long as you are raising a point or asking a question, not double-posting or bumping for attention, it's cool.

The PAL-version does NOT work with the VGA-cable since the game is 50 hz, and the VGA-cable delivers a 60 hz signal.

Bungie should have released the NTSC-version to everybody, and not the PAL-version (to PAL-standard countries) like they did. This is because of the slow and icy feeling you get when you're playing the game.

Well... this sucks bigtime.

Wow - thanks Ghost Dog, have you tried it? This seems like an astonishing oversight, by MS, Bungie or whoever.

Ah well, no Halo CE on the 360 for me.... :(

So NTSC users can play Combat Evolved using a VGA cable? Bastards!

Hehe, no problem :)

I'm just wondering why bungie couldn't release the same game over here in europe and other PAL-contries. I don't hate playing the PAL-version, but the NTSC-version is 10 times better, just because of the feeling when playing the game.

And now with the vast majority of games being 60 hz, i'm curious why bungie would release a game nowadays that's 50hz ONLY...

That's a really good question S1mon3. Good thinking. Sadly I have no bloody idea, I will be asking people myself though.

Yes you can. Just open up a USA silver account and then you'll be able to download the ntsc version of Halo 1. Then you can play the game on your pal account. Problem solved.
