Subject: Why did Halo CE for xbox never have online multiplayer?

The pc version had it and the xbox had the multiplayer settings but xbox live was never enabled. Why?

If I stop arguing with you, it doesn't mean that you win. It means that I don't have the time or energy to keep arguing with you. Get over yourselves.

I'm pretty sure Halo came out before Xbox Live was around.

There was no Xbox Live when the Xbox came out.
Halo was one of the launch games of the Xbox in March 2002.
Xbox Live was introduced in November 2002.

When they were making H1 they were designing it for XBL, however XBL wasnt ready in time, so they had to scrap it.

I just keep thinking of what would have been. Everything would have been so much different.

Xbox v1.3 - Xecuter 3 - X3 3294 - XBMC
Halo3 Xbox360 - Homebrew anyone?

This is something me and my old friends discuss regularly while playing any of the newer Halo games. Before Xbox Live, we used tunneling services for the Xbox. XBC, Xlink Kai, and even Gamespy Arcade.

Halo: Combat Evolved was a great game that has been left in the shadows of its "succesors" and if an Xbox Live version was released, I would play nothing else.

Haha I still use those tunneling services.

Multiplayer on Halo PC is quite good and is nowhere as cheap as halo 3s multiplayer. I have had it for over 4 years and still play it every now and then. If you really want halo: ce multiplayer get the PC version, trust me on this one :)

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.
