So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

1. We are able to play Halo 2 and 3 on XBL, why shouldn't we be able to play Halo 1 on live? Espically with such a dedicated fanbase to the original, many more people than you think would play it.
The "dedicated fanbase" is relatively small. AND FOR -blam!-'S SAKE, PEOPLE CAN PLAY HALO 2 AND HALO 3 ON X-BOX LIVE BECAUSE THE GAME'S WERE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT X-BOX LIVE PLAY!!

2. That's complete bull-blam!-. The developers at Bungie are smart enough to recode the multiplayer aspect of the game in a much shorter time than it took them to put together they're crappy excuse for a campaign expansion (ODST). I never said they weren't smart enough. Halo took at least 4 years to make. Just because they have more people, it doesn't mean that progress will be exponentially faster.

You just don't realize that more people LAN Halo 1 now than people that play Halo 2 on XBL. And when Reach comes out, more people will LAN Halo 1 over Halo 3 players. You have no idea how many people still play this game, -blam!-. Actually, I think I do. I'd like to see some statistics on how many people LAN Halo: CE every year. And people don't play Halo 2 anymore because *gasp* Halo 3 is out! That, and Halo 2 is being discontinued.

3. We'll, at least you've got some brains on that point.

Okay, you can leave the thread now because your being a complete -blam!-

Your probably that friend of General Heeds
I have no idea who this is. Really, please enlighten me. Is he some MGL guy?
that orgasams all over Halo 3Why would I want to -blam!-e on a game?
and has his period all over Halo 1 because the graphics aren't as good.I have said this already. I do not hate Halo: CE. It is still my favourite game. However, that does not mean I have to pretend it has no faults, nor give no criticism.
Leave the thread -blam!-Ooh, big man! Can't come up with a counterargument for any of my points, so he falls back on good, old fashioned cussing.

Again, I do not know who General Heed is.

And I see that I deserve your time, as you continue to waste it on me.

Whorocker, I'm gonna try and break this down for you, and you can believe me if you want, I could care less, just know that it is wholly paintful to watch someone act as stupid as you.

1. Bungie, rather a few Bungie employees that frequent this site (gold text, perhaps you've seen them?) commented several years ago that this was not going to happen, ever. The reason is because Halo CE was never made to be an xbl game, thus it would require a recode, translation, the game would need to be "remade" to allow for online play through xbl.

Not they can't do it, not they aren't able to do, but they won't do it. It makes no "economic sense" for them to take the time and money to do this (time = money in the big boy world) simply to turn around and sell the same game, with added MP over xbl.

2. Others have covered this, but I will reiterate. The fan base is a lot smaller than you think. Halo CE is one of my most favorite games, and by far my favorite FPS game. That doesn't change the fact that the current player base prefer the easier gameplay offered by Halo2, 3 and ODST. Why do you think each title has sold over it's predecessors? Each title has gotten more and more user friendly. CE was hard for some, and many of those people found solace in Halo2, many more in Halo3.

Now I could spend hours digging through the pages of the forums to find content to back this up, but I have no intention to, I could care less if you believe me. Tied right in with my first point, a remake makes no sense whatsoever.

3. Bungie is busy, period. They are in the middle of what may be there last Halo game, and after that they are their own company once again, meaning they really have more important things to worry about like establishing a new IP and keeping their company afloat. Again, tying into the first point, the time taken for a remake makes no sense.

To conclude my little rant, let me just say this. if Halo CE was recoded, or even remade with xbl and nothig else touched, it would be nothing more than a throwback for the most loyal of fans. It wouldn't make them a ton of money, it would be a charity project, a favor. The sad thing is, once you play CE on xbl, you will realize the mistake of what you desire.

A possible two things will happen if CE ever goes LIVE, either they will balance it for xbl play, taking into account the nature of online play and developing it as such (like they have done with 2, 3 and ODST), thus changing the game that we know and love from what it once was. Or they will leave it be, and the game will play terribly because it was never made to account for things like lag, host advantage, packet loss (that thing that causes bullets or melees to sometimes not register) and the like.

You ask for things to be done when it is painfully obvious that you do not know what is involved in task. People have been trying to help you see more than just your side, but you refuse, so I recommend this, do some reasearch, learn a bit about the working world, learn a bit about the Halo community (through the forums) and learn a little bit about game development, then take another look at what your asking.

Because we took the time to make an actual response, and he is too immature to admit he lost or continue the argument.

Yeah, you're a real knee-jerker. I'm laughing my ass off. You should start a career.

Seriously, though, go do some research, find out what really is involved in doing that.

You realize you'd be first on the block right? I've yet to see one constructive post from you, not even an actual arguement. Just what you want and you disregard for what it actually takes to get it.

The first step to learning what it takes to remake a game as complex as Halo: Combat Evolved, is learning how to spell the world "logical".

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

Please! BUNGIE PLEASE!

I would love to see, HALO CE on the live marketplace, I don't see why they didn't have the multiplayer for live, on the downloadable version in the market place...


Neither do I man. Neither do I
Oh. My. GOD.
I guess you've never heard of hard work or CE for the PC

HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE EXPLAIN THIS!?

Halo: Combat fu­cking Evolved was released before X-Box Live. That means they had NO netcode, and NOTHING in terms of guidelines to follow.


So I guess were just going to ignore the fact that Marathon was released before XBL too, yet we are able to play it on XBL.
So I guess you'll just ignore the fact that Marathon is a helluva lot different, and easier to re-code, than Halo: CE.
