Are we ever going to get to play Halo CE over Xbox Live? I'm tired of playing multiplayer with the same people in LANS, I'm tired of playing lagging games or not finding a game on XBC. I'm tired of playing with only two people in campaign. I'M TIRED of NOT GETTING a chance to play arguably the BEST Halo game MADE over XBox Live. So Bungie I ask you, are we ever going to have a chance to play Halo CE over XBox Live.

I wish, but considering how many people would jump from the Halo 3 MM experience to the "new" Halo CE Live MM it would be a bad move in terms of keeping Halo 3 alive.

I personally would jump at the chance to play Halo CE MM on Live, but then again when you consider it would you really wnt to expose this gem to the screaming children and players with "Itz" "MLg" in their gamertags? No.

Halo should remain as it is; a LAN only experience, as you have seen the contribution to the bad side of Halo 2 and 3 in terms of the ranking systems and the downright idiots that give these two games a bad name.

I'm sorry, but unfortunately, the Halo: CE disk for the Xbox (Original) itself, was not made compatible for XBL Connection because XBL wasn't even invented yet by Microsoft.

Sorrry, but the main answer is no, and you must continue playing on the PC if you want to play with others.

Tip: Keep-on playing LAN matches, they're always fun.

Yes I think everyone saw it but at the time of Halo being released I don;t think XBL was running yet. The thernet plug was built into the xbox as XBL was going to be released fairly soon, otherwise how else would they have put it into the Xbox!

Correct. Halo was a Launch Title, and X-Box Live was released the next year.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I'd love to be ale to. But my copy gets kinda choppy even just playing iffline. The lag would be horrible. If they could make it with no problems then I would only play Halo: CE online non-stop. Much better multiplayer than the others.

Yeah, when Halo: CE was made, it wasn't produced to be compatible with the XBL Connection, as XBL was released a year later. So, it is impossible to play Halo: CE over XBL, it's final.

Now, as dahuterschuter said, if Halo: CE wouldn't be so laggy, without various problems too, I myself would play much more. But, for now, I'll stick with Halo: CE for the PC with it's problems, as I really don't care for lag. I'll just play through it.
