It's just plain stupid not to re-release an online compatible version of the most popular console fps of all time! The game play of Halo 1 to this day out plays any 360 fps including Halo 3. Although this statement is debatable it is not unrealistic by any means. Halo 1 made xbox for a reason. It combined the best of all aspects of a near perfect game. The unique, smooth feeling physics engine made you feel like you were in the game. I and many others bought an xbox for the sole reason of playing Halo.

For Bungie to say that Halo 1 is an old game that would not sell is also very stupid. Halo 1 is a classic and that's why a reworked version would do very well in todays market, better then most games out now even. Is that why Bungie is so afraid to re-release Halo 1? In fear of it surpassing in popularity then Halo 3? I can think of no other valid reason.

I agree - I have played Halo CE to death, and Halo 2, and Halo 3 - and I still play Halo CE now and again, it rocks!

I will d/load it, just so I can play it on my main system, a 360 / Monitor setup... I just have to know if it works on VGA monitor, if it is an EXACT port, then it won;t, and you get that stupid '50hz message - gah!'

Goldeneye is coming to the 360?!

Seriously though... no it isn't. Not at all. Even a bit. Everyone, without exception, who is saying stuff like this has no sense of perspective. Just because them and a few other ultra-hardcore halo fans would get it they think it's a majority. It isn't - and MS know this.

I really doubt you can teach MS much about how to make money, you know.

(Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be insulting or anything - I would play the -blam!- out of it myself and love it. The problem is, that you and I aren't everyone.)

Sadly, you are right.
