Does anyone else think that if Halo 1 came out with a live enabled version, people would still buy it. And does Halo online co-op sound good?

I read somewhere that Bungie already stated this is not possible due to the way Halo: Combat Evolved was coded. Apparently it was never designed for Xbox Live! play and is not able to support it.

However, if it was re-released with it, I do believe it would still sell. Heck, the version that is out is still selling.

Actually i was watching a documentary about Halo on G4 once, and in an interview with a bungie worker he said that they originally planned for Halo to be an online game, but didnt have time to port that portion of it when they were bought by microsoft. The coding for it is somwhere... They might have to rework the physics engine a bit, and they will have to make a new net code but they could make a lot of money and a lot of gamers happy with a halo Xbox live edition. They could even call it a collectors edition and throw in Live support, and charge 60$ for it, and many would buy it.

This has been brought up in the past. The first reply said it correctly, Halo: CE does not contain the proper "hooks" to support online play.

Secondly, if they could rewrite the code I don't think they would need to rewrite the physics engine (I don't know how that would effect online play at all), and I have no idea what you mean by "net code."

However, if they did make a new game and make it online capable I'm sure it would sell a ton of copies.

It wouldn't take much work to get it online, it already supports mutli-xbox lan so with a new netcode and a server broswer for xbox live it would work fine. There really is no technical reason they couldnt rework it for Live.

if they found a way to get halo live, and not change much about the feel of the game, then i believe that all of the halo fans would buy it in a heartbeat.

If Halo1 had Live I'd be on Halo2 live 1/3 as often as I am with it now.

If they did release a Halo 1.5 I would buy 2 copies (just in case i fried the first one). Even if there was a little lag so what, I played on XBC for 3 years so i won't mind the lag to much.

halo 1.5 would be the best thing ever. and make it with no rankings so no one would use stand by, cuz halo 1 on xbc was fun w/o rankings. i think its a great idea

And that is why Bungie will never ever make it. An Xbox live Halo 1 would directly compete with Halo 2. And over the long run it would kick it's ass.

if halo, not halo 1,(i htink it should still claim its rightful name and not be called halo 1 just cause there a game called halo 2) any way if halo were xbl enabled i think it would sell more coppies they halo 2 did and it would kick some serouse 455 online without the lag

R.I.P. Halo Movie and all of the unseen awesomeness.

Halo 1.5 is Halo PC/MAC.
