I know I've been posting here for a while but when they first changed things around on B.net I had to hunt like hell to find it. It's like they've just shot their own horse in the leg and are leaving it to die. Sorry Bungie. I love you and all but... that's how I feel.

I know what u mean. if anything they should be glorifying it cause these last two games suck especially 3. If they slow the game play down any more a mentally challged person is going to be able to play it. H1 is like racing in a Formula one race car h3 is like a 1970 Volkswagon bug.

... Not what I was thinking. I like H2 and H3 but ok. I'm just saying they aren't giving the social security that it deserves, if you know what I mean. It's old, yes. It's retired from the spotlight, I know. But that doesn't mean it sould fade into obscurity. Bungie just doesn't even seem interested in preserving its own history.

Explain to me how they're "trying their damnedest to forget about Halo CE." They've moved on to other projects, they can't keep looking at the past all the time.

Well, it was a launch title on a previous generation console. It's over half a decade old. Bungie's not doing too much with Halo 2 either; the Halo 2 forum is in the same place. It's just newer and the community has remained in tact a little better. Many of the Halo: Combat Evolved players moved on to Halo 2. Others probably just do a lot less gaming than they once did. I too would like to see more life in the Halo community, but I can't really blame Bungie for it. It would, however, be nice if they re-released the game with XBL support.

There's really not a whole lot they can do for Halo CE. There's nothing online, and that's where most of their effort goes into. Once in a while, they release a patch or an update for the PC version.

Just because it's newer, doesn't mean it's better. Nor does it mean that it should be neglected. I know what you mean. But I still get this feeling...

Agreed. I think it's by far the best in the trilogy, but I'm not sure what they could do to not neglect it. They could perhaps honor it with map remakes I guess. If the Xbox emulator on the 360 received tunneling software, that might help revive the community a bit, but that's all Microsoft there.

They could probably do that. And I know they could charge for the update, I know I'd pay for it.

I wish they'd do something like that. XBC is just dying. Well I may be wrong but it sure seems to be. At least the original Halo community is.

I would have to agree with you there, but December should be a better month for XBC.

??? Got any backing as to why? I'm not wanting to argue or sound sarcastic; I pray to God that you're right.

Well there's a facebook event going from December 4th - January 4th to play Halo on XBC. College students have expressed interest in playing over their winter break. I'm assuming the new download will at least bring a few more people into our community. That might lead some people to play on XBC. Considering the small number of people currently on there, it would seem that a few people might be able to make a difference. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but we're trying to make December a better month for XBC. I don't know if it will work, and if even if it does, it might not be sustained. We are, however, trying. I have considered going to other Halo forums and suggesting that they try to use XBC more. Ultimately, we won't know until later if people do actually start playing again.

If they forgot about Halo 1, why did they make more Halo's?

  • 12.02.2007 3:18 AM PDT

How do you get XBC? If I googled it, would I just be able to download some software or something and would I have to use the original Xbox, I assume that I would. I would love to be able to play some CE online with my old controller, damn I miss The Duke.

go to xbconnect.com At least I think that's the place. You can get a fee version or a pro. the same hook up you have for XBL will work just fine. Once you have an account you can go to a Help chatroom and have someone fill out the details if you can't figure it out.
