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.

False. Halo Combat Evolved is being released on December 4th as an Xbox Original title, not to be associated with Xbox Live Arcade.

ok i dont get the point of doing the xbox originals if they arent adding online play.....its pretty much for ppl who never played halo before, for all the people who played the entire series and beaten them wht else could they do with this? by adding online play it would make things so much easier instead of ppl having to use gamespy cause that takes up a lot of memory and causes a lot of lag and viruses on your computer.......so bungie should do the right thing and have halo CE come out with an online multiplayer....get the ppl wht they want

When faced with insurmountable odds fight to live, because giving up is for the weak.

Where's it say no achievements.
