If Bungie Released Halo: CE with XBL For $50 Would you buy it
answer the Question seriously to make it accurate.
If then remade the game to work on the 360 with live (but keep the maps the guns and player movement the way they were) and named it Halo would you seriously spend 50 or 60 bucks to play it

I believe that Bungie would never re-release Halo with Xbox Live functionality, because it would hurt them financially. The only people who would pay 60 dollars for a re-release of an 8 year old game with "outdated" graphics and game play, are too few in number for Bungie to see a significant profit. However, since Halo 2&3 are more marketable to a wider audience and are more commercial friendly, they want to focus on pleasing the broader fanbase by creating new content. Unfortunately, Bungie knows that the core fan base would easily shell out $60 for a new version of Halo, but they are in fact a company and it would take significant talent and time to reconfigure the netcode and diverting computer engineers to apply this functionality would just be too costly. Thus limiting Bungie's chance at seeing a large profit. So, that is why we will never see am an Xbox Live enabled Halo.
