Well Bungie is on to new things... so it will be up to 343 to do an update/reissue of Halo CE. They are already gathering teams for SOMETHING new.
No need to recode, if 343 can use the Reach engine they already have all the assets they need. The REAL work is building and scripting the Campaign without too much retconning.
Errr... they COULD do some reworking of the Library level...
It would be a great game... one would have to learn to play again with more destructible vehicles. I would willingly sacrifice indestructible Hogs and Scorps so long as I could kill Phantoms and Spirits with rockets. They would have to tweak the weapons so that the characteristics were at least similar to original CE. Likewise the Chief would need to be more robust than Noble 6. But, wouldn't you love to take the sword from an Elite and shove right up his... and adding the point and scoring system would make replay sooooo worth it. New Skulls as well as new Achievements? Yes?
I would pay. No problem. This does not take away from my experience with the Original at all. Maybe they could include an empty tray so I could place my Xbox copy next to the 360 copy.
Reach engine =/= Halo 1 engine
And adding all that crap would kill the whatever Halo 1 feeling is left after completely changing the engine.

why does adding online multiplayer require recoding everything?
and even if it does, -blam!- do it, bungie has more than enough money to do one thing for the real fans who have been playing from the start.
So again, why does it have to be recoded? we used to play it on gamespy and xbox connect, why can't they just make some similar portal software to link up xbox's through live?
i obviously don't know much about coding, but it can't be that hard, and again, even if it is expensive/difficult, they owe it to us...
I'm pretty sure most of us oldie's would pay whatever dollar amount they want for an online version too, at least i know i would.
Also, if they did do this - and i know they won't because they dont give a -blam!- about the first players who made their games famous - im for the vote that says no game changes at all, none. Just let me play it online again, I wouldn't even ask for it if people still got on xbox connect or gamespy but sadly, no one does anymore :(
p.s. if there is some other new portal like xbox connect or gamespy where people play halo CE, one that im just not aware of, please inform me.
im sure i'll get spammed for this, don't really feel like arguing, i just want to play the real halo again.Adding online multiplayer requires recoding everything because of the netcoding, or lack thereof. As it is right now, there is tons of inconsistent latency, it's so awful that I can't stand playing it on Xbox Connect. There are many people like myself who would not play it with this awful latency.
The reason Bungie won't do it, is because there is not enough money to be made. If they did make it, most people would not buy it because they already have played it a long time ago, or because they think that Reach is automatically better because it's newer.
Please people, give it a rest. Us regulars probably want it more than all of you, we explored all possible solutions years ago. It isn't going to happen.
