Most definately not.
Call me crazy, but, I like my games with a little balance.
Y'know, where the spawn weapon isn't the best weapon in the game.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

out of the box i would have to say no. as much as i love that game, if you were to introduce the lag and latency issues that xbl suffers to halo you would have even more complainers and gripes than you do now, and that's saying something.

halo is quite possibly one of the best games ever made, let it rest as such, don't tamper with it at risk of tarnishing it.

I'd say definatly its alreay better than Halo 2. Halo 3 BARLY beats it...HAIL HALO!

MLG sucks

I think if they came out with Halo CE with forge achievements and Screenshots and Matchmaking and possibly halo 3 graphics for the xbox 360 I certainly would buy it. Oh and to sweet trix it wouldn't be laggy I don't experience any lag issues in games except for the darkness.

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

It already is the best....

The pistol itself isn't balanced, but having a powerful spawn weapon adds its own sense balance. It takes out much of the luck factor. If you get a bad spawn point, you won't necessarily die. Whoever spawns closest to the best weapon, won't necessarily win.

Also, the pistol is the most well-rounded weapon, but a sniper rifle or rocket launcher could take it down. A shotgun at close range could take it down. A plasma rifle freeze followed by a melee can take it down. It's doesn't appear unbeatable to me, but even if it is, you spawn with one too.

Just message me on live.

With live Halo: CE wouldn't be the same, classic games to play with your friends, and only your friends.

If they released an Xbox Originals Halo 1 with online play and the PC maps, I would never play Halo 3 again. It is a perfect game, and if they can run Halo 3 without lag most of the time, I'm sure Halo 1 would also run smoothly.

  • 12.28.2007 8:53 PM PDT

How ironic that a move by MS to save money (dirrect ports of old Xbox games) cost them thousands if not millions in sales if Halo 1 were given fancy-ness and online play.

Let there be CHAOS!

It already is the best.

I clicked "definitely" before reading them all to see the "already is best" option. I need to vote again ha :(

"Peace, gentlemen...
Peace is the ultimate goal of the Traxus Project.
Peace not in our time but in the future.
Future generations will benefit from the work begun here today.
Gentlemen, I give you the Traxus Project"

Well...
I tend to judge the games most in terms of storyline/storytelling/etc., and less so in terms of multiplayer, so my opinion probably doesn't matter as much in this.
But I have always wanted the chance to play Halo:CE multiplayer so...
Yeah I'd have to say it would be a good idea.

If Halo did ever come to XBL, the game's core would need a huge overhaul. The game's netcode would need to be completely re-written, and would require a lot of mucking around in the engine. But if it was nailed just right, I know I'd be playing it, a lot.

Now, I may be looking through rose-tinted glasses here.. but Halo 1 just never gets old for me. It's always fun =]

No, the graphics are terrible and the animations are terrible.

Incorrect. The viewing distance is good, and the game isn't pixelated or blocky (low polygon count). Fewer reflections and simpler textures means a clearer picture. This might not be acceptable for graphics whores, but in a lot of ways its superior.

Anyway, best doesn't necessarily mean best looking. By that logic, the best games of all time would always be current gen.

I love CE with with a passion... but you can't take my dual subs away and expect me to be happy! UhUh! That just won't do... No sir. ; )

Besides I love the AR and Pistol in H2 better than the ones in CE. The only things I like better from CE are the Sci-Fi (at certain times) and the feel. Not because the feel is superior to H2 and H3 but simply for the nostalgia. It's fun to remenisce.
And while the H3 needler blows the -blam!- out of the one in the previous two games, I do like the CONCEPT of slow moving needles as well as the look of the needler in CE better. However, I can get over the looks and the slow moving needle concept jus cripples it's homing ability.

So it all boils down to the subs. No subs, uh uh. I'd love to see it with online. I'd play it, but it is not "better" than H2 or H3.

I never liked how dual wielding affected the gameplay. It just became too essential for close range weapons, and grenades and melees were used much less. It just didn't feel that much like Halo anymore. I think Halo 3 certainly improved upon that.

Halo 2 AR? Are you talking about the SMG? The lack of an AR, or a mid to close range single wielding weapon made the game much less enjoyable. The SMG, especially spawning with it, is one of the main reasons I stopped playing Halo 2. The magnum always seemed kinda worthless to me. In the end, I really only wanted to use the BR.

I think most people use/prefer the human pistol/AR spawn.

Compare Halo and Halo 3 when they were released and the former wins out as being more advanced visually. Halo wowed me more in 2001 than Halo 3 did in September.Posted by: mvidmaster

The same reason modern soldiers don't fight with muskets.

yes it would be the best considering the fact that some of the mods are awsome but halo was the best...
Correction its still the best halo!!!

if i was to rate each halo id be like this

halo #1
halo2 #2
halo3 #2

and yes halo 3 and halo 2 are alomost the same the best thing about halo 2 is the scarab gun, xbox live and the mods.
the only things i like about halo 3 is forge also that you can activate the skulls whenever you feel like and xbox live.

Typo. I meant H3. And you're right about dual wielding in H2. They've made it much better in the third one and with its setup, dual-wielding is too much fun for me to be able to definitively say that CE would be better.
