Posted by: chickenlittle The "extra mile" would be an entire game. Halo: CE took 4 years to make, and very few of the Bungie employees have worked with that code. Think about that for a second.
Yeah, it took 4 years back on the original X-box. And not even all of those 4 years were dedicated to the final product. For a little while, they wanted to make it a RTS. I'm sure Bungie has a much better understanding of game programming now than they did back then. They've had 9 more YEARS, that's quite a long time in the gaming industry. They have a MUCH bigger staff now. It should be a breeze compared to say, making Halo 3.
Regardless of what anyone feels they should be able to do, the fact of the matter is the title would need to be re-made. This takes time and it's not time that they currently have. Familiarity with programming doesn't mean you can turn out something 10 times faster, and as Chicken said a good deal of the current staff had no invovelemt on CE.
Furthermore Bungie has commented several times on this very board that they will not do this. It's not an issue of laziness, it's an issue of "were busy".
Besides, i'd hate to see the damage done to CE after it's "balanced" for xbl play, no thank you.
