too bad we can't play online like we can on the PC

Hai I'm Frankie
Don't buy the game, but if you do buy it I'm sure we'd look favorably upon it when it came time to deal out armor.

wait, when they say it will upscale to 1080p, do they mean it will fill the whole screen now?

I don't see the point of downloading it for 1200 points if there's no online.

  • 12.04.2007 4:27 PM PDT

I would buy this if it had the online playability. Without it, I'll just put in my old trusty disc. I guess I'll just save the dough for the new maps. Too bad though. I really really wanted to play some CE online.

BLARGH

no achievements OR online play? what a waste of time!!! If all of these xbox originals have no achievements then it's absolutely pointless IMO. If i ever have a huge urge to play Halo 1, i'll go play it on my xbox for free...

Keep the hate coming Flood, I can take it. Because I'm the hero the Flood deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so you'll flame me, because I can take it. Because I'm not a hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector...jrv2005.

Ha! Your using my old sig from xbox.com Never thought it would travel to bungie.net.

Anyway, I want to by it, but it's not worth it. It just isn't. They didn't add a damn thing! Not one thing! You'd at least think they'd add like 200 gs or new weapons! But nothing? That's just ridiculous. And to top that, it's MORE expensive than the physical version? WTF?

Why don't they just add multiplayer and some achievements it would probably make a huge difference on sales. I already have a physical copy of CE and you can buy it used for like $3 or new for like $10

Saying its upscaled to 1080p is misleading too because the normal game is upscaled to 1080p by the 360 system.

Mabye if most people don't buy this version they will upgrade to having multiplayer support.

"No changes, achievements or online functionality have been added to Halo: Combat Evolved."

I don't think Bungie realizes that if they released CE with an online multilayer, people would pay well over $60 for it. I would say that the majority of the Halo community would have been happy if Halo 2 was Halo CE with online play.

This download = useless

I really hoped that it would get XBL or at least achievements, I have lost faith....
but only like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

If it can be imagined, then it exists.

Yeah, it's definetly pointless, but don't blame Bungie. Microsoft owns Halo so Bungie has no say whatsoever in what they do with it (unfortunately):(

  • 12.04.2007 5:21 PM PDT

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

With all due respect for Bungie, the group that gave us great games like Abuse and Halo... I'd have to say... this is really pathetic!

Some time in the beginning of October, Bungie said, "Oh, we're gonna be an independent company now! We're really important and no longer slaves to Microsoft anymore!"

Then, not long later, Microsoft says in a snake-like voice, "Hey Bungie, why don't we sell that Halo:CE game THAT MADE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY OUR CRAPPY X-BOX on Xbox-live for $15 a piece? We can make a buck off the poor shmucks who don't have that Halo:CE game disc, and we don't even have to add anything at all to the game!"

And Bungie said, "Yes, Lord Bill Gates! Your wish is our command!"

This is pathetic. I'm glad I still have my Halo:CE disc.... not that I use it anymore... I just play Halo 3!

Yes.

For 1200 Microsoft points, you can download the same version of Halo: Combat Evolved that is available on disc at various fine retailers. No changes, achievements or online functionality have been added to Halo: Combat Evolved.
Which means it probably has the same performance issuses while running on a 360 as the one available at various fine retailers. I like my framerate thank you, and the 360 has a crappy emulator.

I'll keep playing my original Xbox games with my original Xbox.

Halo 3 Sonnet

We are the Bungie community, and thus, by definition, we are given the right to complain about any work that Bungie produces, mentions, or even thinks about, with no limits set by knowledge, logic, common sense, or understanding of sarcasm!

No new features? Oh well, I'll buy it again cause it will be HD.

it would have been sweet if it had online, the multiplayer maps on that game where the best, but for 15 bucks and 2.3 GB I'll pass

Ha ha, I think they might be scared to add online play because it would cannibalize Halo 2 and Halo 3 sales.

Bungie, if you would release Halo: Combat Evolved with online Multiplayer (shoot, just integrate it with Halo 2's servers now that the load has reduced), I would buy it for $60.00. I would faithfully wait at 12:00 AM at a store to get my hands on that game. I'd still play Halo 3.

Please. There's a whole community out there of people who still love the first Halo. Some who won't even play anything else. Just outsource the project to some cheap company, come up with some mediocre netcode, and sell it for like $40.
