Nobody's scared to post. I just don't care enough about something that will NEVER happen to sit here and explain that to you.

Happy now?

I voted. Didnt want to add to the flame war that is 1 v 2. But as you asked people to voice their opinion I shall.

I do not think that they should re-release halo 1. I think it would be a waste of resources and a foolish financial move. Bungie is a company far above and beyond halo 1. Be it Myth, Marathon, Oni, and whatever they are working on next. To ask them to stop anything that they are doing to cater to the desires of any group, no matter how large, is similar to telling you favourite band to stop playing the music they want to and change to exactly your style simply because you want them to.

Secondly, I think that it would make sense financially. Yes, Halo1 was a hugely popular game. Yes, many fans would love to see it re-released. However, to make the most sense the game would have to be re-released on the 360, which uses very different hardware and thus would require large amounts of time. And for a game to be profitable it would have to sell a million (estimate) units. Which a 5 year old game (with 5 year old graphics) would most likely not get.

As for your opinions of halo 1 v halo 2 they are valid opinions. Note : I do not agree with them, but they are valid in that they are opinions and ones that Bungie chose not to take. As for my opinions I think that a game that lets "even the most average joe can get in right away" is a good thing. The alternative is a game that "you must spend months to even be decent at" which only appeals to young teens that have the time to spend, ie : not jobs, no familes, etc.

Personally (as someone that played halo 1 almost since release and played every weeked till the halo 2 release date, which I got at 12.01) I think that halo 2 relies on a different skillset than halo1. Not less skill, not more, just different. Halo 1 requires you to have computer like aiming skills, reflexes. Halo 2 requires teamwork, weapon management, group management, map navigation. Again : my opinion.

Well, I like halo 2 better, because if everyone is saying the people who are retarded are good at Halo 2, look at the pistol, halo 1, WAY better, SMG, WAY worse than the AR, Shotgun, Halo 1, had massive distance, halo 2, no distance. About the sword and rocket, did you ever think of why there are only one or two On each level, (or even Zero). I agree that the cheaters are a problem, and that they are Idiots Whose shoe size is higher than their I.Q. But I think that they should make Halo 3 even better than both of the Games Combined. But in some parts Halo 1 was better. But ultimately, I like Halo 2 more, and call me a noob, or "flame" me, bUt I know that I am not a noob because I have had the game for a long time, so i am not new to the game (isnt that what noob means anyway?).

I love halo 2 but I liked halo 1 better. I feel it has been dumbed down so even the most average joe can get in right away. Halo 2 seems to be alot more about weapon control. Halo on the other hand you had a weapon good for almost all situations it always gave you a fighting chance. (the pistol) The smg on the other hand hmmm... Rockets should only lock on the banshees not the warthog. The ghost's/banshee's plasma needs toning down.Ahh and the cheating wow... Sure I play halo 2, no im not going to stop because i don't like it. Because I really can't play anything else right now I would play gearboxes wonderfully ported version of halo pc which you have to lead every single shot 2 inches to hit anyone.

SB-117

Company's re-release remakes of classics all the time. It's not impossible that Bungie could consider something like this. Finally bringing their ground breaking game to xbox live would be a great day in any Halo fans eyes and it's extra cash in Bungie's pocket for an almost straight-port (with changes to network code, possibly halo 2's amount gametype customisation and live compatibility)

I voted yes because playing Halo online would just be cool as the vast majority of Halo fans couldn't go to LANs every other week. edit. and Xbox Connect SUCKS.

If they re-made Halo1 the way it used to be I and thousands (probably millions) would buy it.

That means Bungie would make $$$

*sarcasticly*yeah i think they should make halo agian with xbox live because i love games thAT are exactly the same as before,and with less weapons,less maps,harder handling,crappier weapons,less customizing colors,less player models,less vehicles,no rocket lock-on,no banshee on multiplayer,and of course,sad graphics.so i totally agree with you....

No. I want effort focused on Halo 3, not a remake of Halo 1.

What would be wrong with another Halo game? Halo's storyline was the reason that made me love the game. Halo 2, not so much.

I say, don't remake it. Otherwise they could stuff up the game. Just add xbox live option to it, and possibly (not really needed) some new maps.

Yeah just make it Xbox live capable and i would be happy. It already has great maps and I still play it on xbc just because it is a masterpiece and is so much fun to play. I would definately burn/shoot my halo 2 disc if H1 was released on Live.

Yes, I would like this but it would take time out of their next project. If you are saying that they do this before Halo 3 that is. Also, if they were to do it after Halo 3 it would take time out of ooooo maybe Halo 4 (I would love see that).

Oh that would be funny... let me think...

h2s.com says "we want h1 on xbl!"
Bungie agrees...
~ h1 on XBL ~
h2s.com says "hey! now we have to pay for it?"
Flaming starts again.

my answer is this they should just make the halo1 maps downloadable with only halo1 weapons on the map and respawn.
