Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

I've been thinking about this a long time and here is what I thought of for Live in Halo CE.

They have 7 different playlists.

Free-For-All-Slayer and Race on your own. 4-6 Players. Maps: Wizard, Chiron TL-34, Rat Race, Chill Out, Prisoner, Battle Creek, and Longest.

Team Slayer-Slayer and Slayer oriented games. 4v4 Players. Maps: Battle Creek, Damnation, Prisoner, Derelict, Chrion TL-34.

Team Skirmish-Capture the Flag and variations of it. 6v6 Players. Maps: Sidewinder, Blood Gulch, Battle Creek, Boarding Action.

Team Control-Oddball and King of the Hill games 5v5 Players. Wizard, Longest, Chiron TL-34, and Blood Gulch.

Big Team Battle-Large teams of 8 battle it out in CTF and Slayer games on Larger Maps. 8v8 Players. Maps: Blood Gulch, SideWinder, Hang em High and Boarding Action.

Team Doubles-A game where you get only one Partner and Two Enemies. 2v2 Players. Maps: Chill Out, Wizard, Prisoner and Chrion TL-34

Endless Match-Time Limitless games of Capture The Flag to simulate LAN Partys that go to 3. 8v8 Players. Maps: SideWinder, Blood Gulch

It would cost 800 MS points if you have the game and 1600 if you don't.

Comments and Suggestions apreciated.

Suggestions: 4 player Online Co-op,

That would be awesome, but I think for the amount of programming it would take to do it not enough people would play.

I use the Mauler, Im a n00b, I use the Magnum, Im a n00b, I use a Spartan Laser, Im a n00b, I use a Battle Rifle, Im a n00b, I use an Assault Rifle, Im a n00b...I think that just about makes me a Weapon n00b, I use weapons to kill on Halo 3, imagine that!

Yes, I do want it, will I ever get it, I doubt it, its a great idea though

The problem is not with the amount of people that would play. I promise you that tons of people would flood onto Halo 1 for Xbox Live. The problem lies with putting Halo 1 on Xbox Live. The networking code would have to be rewritten for online play and the result would be a Halo that didn't feel like the real Halo.

Well, there's the lack of "feel". There's also the things Bungie would deign to add in. They'd likely add auto-aim, and silly nonsense like that. To keep the new players. There's also the graphics, and the pistol. they'd likely revamp the graphics and halve the pistol's power for online play to even the playing field a bit. There's a lot of issues with bringing it on Live.

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

There is Xbox Connect and some people play Halo: CE on that.

Yep, I am one of those. Was just playing Halo 1 on XBC yesterday...

you should touch my spartan

i personally have been crying to anyone who would listen about how halo c.e. should have been online, however because matt souel? i think thats how its spelled, one of the original designers said "dude we should be able to hop into games as a (pink invincible, or invisible) hippo and wreak havoc. microsoft said "um no live for you" he then said "be weary of wall hugging hippos" in reference to his proximity mine idea which would resemble pink hippos, this idea was also squashed so he put the hippo on the shotgun shells and quit.
