that is a stupid idea, its not an old school classic like Mario Bros or anything, its not even that old, and they already made it for xbox once, i dont understand this at all.

I appreciate your opinion Flabster, but I think HALO is the greatest multiplayer game I've ever played. Stick with the chocolat and junk food. That may be your area of expertise.

No way...why would you want that? So you can play pistol vs. pistol ALL game long every map? No thanks. The "Gods" in Halo 1 were expert marksmen with the pistol...period.

Yes.. the "Gods" or "Pros" were excellent marksmen with the pistol, but remember, with the matchmaking system, you would be paired up with people of YOUR skill.

Plus, to say that its Pistol vs. Pistol all game long just shows that you werent very good at Halo 1.

Why would anybody ever go for a rocket/sniper/shotgun/plasma rifle/plasma pistol/AR if pistol was all that was needed?

Ill tell you..

Pistol was NOT all that was needed...

if you didnt know how to use the other weapons, if you didnt know how to WHORE weapon in Halo 1 (whoring power weapons in Halo 1 was an art/skill, unlike in Halo 2) then you would surely lose the game.

I voted yes, but thats just because i prefer more skill based games.

Actually Ender I was much better in Halo 1 than I am in Halo 2 - I'm only a 13 in Halo 2. But in all the Xbox Connect matches I played in Halo 1, it came down to the pistol. Hang 'Em High? Pistols. Longest? Pistols. Wizard? You get the point...ah well, it's like whoring the snipes in Ascention, Coag and Burial Mounds in H2. At least in Halo 1 you had a chance against a sniper via the pistol :)

Grenades ruled in Halo 1, especially blowing them up with the assault rifle when they were near the enemy.

Halo 1 will never be online. Let it go and learn to deal with it.

halo 1 XBL is called XBConnect. get it its much easier than re-coding it for Live, or you could just get the PC version and play online with a flamerthrower.

Pointless thread. Bungie has already said countless times that this is not going to happen. Please just accept that you're never going to get to use your precious pistol on XBL and stop wasting our time.

Just follow the link in my sig to sign a petition for Halo 1.5, started by Rippon himself.

Thanks for the input from both sides. I just love the gameplay in H1, but would love to see it on XBL.

of course that would be amazing, and for all the ppl that dont agree just because they like the new spray and pray gameplay in H2, u didnt like getting raped in halo 1, and u feel better in halo 2 because u still have a chance, the game was designed that way. and ur probably lvl 12 or something like that. i voted yes, but it wont happen, bungie refuses to do it, well maybe if we offered them a fat juicy check, then they might consider it. someone should buy them out, and steal em from the evil clutches of those damn gluttonous(sp?)Microsoft bastards.

Even though the pistol was overpowered in Halo 1 they took the skill out of the game for Halo 2.

I don't understand how anyone could be against it. If you weren't very good at it, then you just wouldn't buy it. At least up front you know if it's a game for you or not, instead of waiting in line at midnight to get something completely different than what you expected.

That's because of the new weapons and weapon spawn system. Coagulation (Blood Gultch) was the most popular and overplayed map in Halo 1. Even 2 on 2 it was great. But, starting with SMG's has ruined that level. Has nothing to do with the map itself.

Maybe if enough people click the "I'd pay block", Bungie would take notice to what the consumer wants. Right now it looks like more people don't want it. I'm like HeavyMetal. Why would they not want it?

the masses dont seem to be voting on your poll, why waste resources re hashing an old game , its halo 2 they should support, halo:CE had its time, its time to move on



Looks like your wasting your own time willy. If you see the words "Who would like to see HALO 1 remade for Xbox live?" and you click on the link, dont whine about someone wasting your time. It just makes you look like an idiot. Capcom doesnt consider itself to be "wasting resources" when it contiually releases its umteenth million version of street fighter 2 so why shouldnt bungie release an online version of H1. They could easily hire another company to do all the work and take royalties on the profits.
