what great other topics are going on in this thread that we shouldn't be talking about the most important one that has to do with Halo:CE as much as possibleNo topic is too important that it should not follow forum rules when it says that there are to be no repeat threads.

the fact that the best multi-player game in the last ten yearsIt's not a fact, but your opinion, and especially one I would not agree with.

the best multiplayer game to ever occur on an Xbox, isn't available to be played on Xbox Live?You want to know why? It came out in 2001, before Xbox Live was fully functional and because it's much easier said than done to remake Halo for online play over Xbox Live.

And though it may be old, it's certainly not out-dated. I would argue that there was only one positive change between Halo: CE and Halo 2, and that was the introduction of vehicle boarding. Every other new feature detracted from the gameplay. Dual wielding? Energy Swords? And, even the match-making mode that makes it almost impossible to play a custom game over Xbox live unless you have eight friends all on at the same time, all made it an inferior experience to what a basic on-line functioning version of the first game would have been. The reissue of the old levels? Totally lame. Every little tweak they did took away from the fun of the original levels.Yeah, but I didn't say I liked Halo 2.

While I am very happy and satisfied with Halo 3, it is a very good game, I know a ton of gamers who dream of playing Halo: CE, in it's original form, on-line with a good, non-laggy connection over Xbox Live. And, there's a reason why everybody on this forum has been talking about it since 2002: it would be that good. So, go play Halo 2 all you want, since it's "less out-dated" and so probably, in your mind, superior, and dual wield your plasma pistols, Master Kim, I just wish they'd let the rest of us have a blast playing Halo: CE on Xbox Live while you're busy doing that.I never said I think Halo 2 is better because the first game is out dated, you twit. :)
I would never say such a thing. I like Halo more than Halo 2, thanks.
The game would be out dated because we're still playing the same damn game that came out in 2001 except over an online connection. We're limited to the now scant amount of game types and features whereas the customizability for Halo 3 is endless (albeit I've had much fun with Halo more than Halo 3). News flash: As awesome as the first game is, games have changed significantly since then and standards have changed. You're essentially taking a game that's approximately eight-years-old and releasing that exact same game again with the relatively small addition of online play. Another news flash: You will have to suffer the effects of latency in almost every game you play and ever since the advent of online multiplayer have people had to compensate for such, so your dreams of a lag free experience, especially over the peer-to-peer gaming crap that is Xbox Live, is far off.
Anyway, the point is that everybody is already freaking talking about it so if you want to get into the discussion, then reply to someone else's topic instead of posting your own.
