This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

While it may require making an entirly new game, I still wish they would do it. They could even use the Halo: Reach engine.

i just wanted to support the idea of Halo: CE to be playing online with my xbox 360. Sounds crazy, but i'd pay full price for this game...period.

it's all i want!!!!

because halo 1 was the first great shooter.
it was the first game where people got together, played slayer then talked smack about each kill, well if you had friends.

back in the day of system link.
You're thinking about Goldeneye.


chickenlittle speacks the truth. minus the point of system linking.

May happen, but not for a while still. Certain...things will have to go down. But keep the faith. Has been almost a decade, and there are still people who think Halo (CE) is the greatest thing ever.

All I want is to be able to play Halo CE on xbox live, on my 360.
Thus requiring recoding of the entire game.
It would be worth it because even just a recoding of CE would be better than anything they've done since.

They would do something to it to make it gimmicky. And therefore remove replay value.

I like the way it is. Sure, it would be great if the graphics were improved, and things were a bit more visceral, but the physics and systems of this game work the way they are. You have to aim and time your melee. You have to aim for your shots. Etc. etc.

If I was Bungie I would Remaster Halo CE without Multiplayer and just update the graphics, add alot of new content and change the audio to HD and add new weapons and vehicles. I would make Halo a standalone Legendary Edition with bonus dvd and Halo soundtrack remastered, a figurine of the Chief fighting a elite.

  • 09.30.2010 7:34 PM PDT

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.

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.

Reach engine =/= Halo 1 engine

And adding all that crap would kill the whatever Halo 1 feeling is left after completely changing the engine.

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.

yep i know its all about the money, can't really blame em for that its a business just like any other. I just want it lol. and please, i've wanted this ever since halo 2 came out haha. and i know what you mean with the latency stuff, games were usually pretty laggy on xbox connect; but, that may be partly because back when i played not that many ppl had high speed internet yet, its a different story now. plus the kind of lag i always had was way more managable than the stuff i see on the later halos, instead of skipping around all over the place, all your actions were just a little delayed(or very delayed), so you could still adjust to the lag and play pretty well.

All of this is besides the point that they could do this if they wanted to, but again i know they won't, i just wanted to let off the steam :)

  • 10.10.2010 9:44 PM PDT

Huricane, the latency and packet loss(see: lag) is because there is no netcode for Halo: CE. It was released before X-Box Live, so they had no reason to include online coding.

oh gotcha, and ya i know it came about before live, thats why before we were spoiled by live we used to play on xbox connect, and it didn't lag all the time, if you had a good host it was at least decent. and i still don't see why that makes it so difficult to add netcode to it lol but whatever. I'm just gonna start playing on xbox connect again, there's a few people on there everytime i check, i just need a router so i can get my comp and xbox online at the same time. if you ask me, halo CE with a little lag still beats lagg-less halo 2, 3, or reach any day. so everyone else who just wants to play halo ce online get xbox connect and play, that place needs some traffic in the halo section.

  • 10.12.2010 2:19 PM PDT

No.
No aiming Melee.
No aim for your shots.
No etc etc.

But this could be turned to a "Noob mode" XP.
Sadly, now I realize these guys are right
No one will remake Halo CE.
Although I don't see how people won't buy it, remakes tend to make lots.
Especially if they wait 1-2 years after Reach, look at Pokemon.
But of course Pokemon is a lot easier to create than a Halo game.

  • 10.13.2010 9:55 AM PDT

I think it's quite realistic to say 343 will end up releasing a "Halo Trilogy" package. Remember, if any new fan wants to play Halo CE or 2, he must do it through console emulation which is filled with bugs and poor performance. Halo CE can slow down pretty hard as Halo 2 which also can get ghost images which can only disappear by restarting the console, every mission or two... And a lot of people don't have xboxes anymore. While I do want to get a new one (mine broke) as most retro compatible games are filled with bugs, you need it to play the game optimally, something I'm sure will be a concern for 343 Industries. Remember, Halo CE and 2 sold a -blam!-load, there's tons of new fans too, remaking these games should be relatively cheap and low risk even if it means recoding everything and doing everything from the ground up, PLENTY of people - new fans, old fans like me - would buy a remastered/remake versions of Halo CE and 2, even if I'd rather play the original on a normal xbox. If I can have smooth gameplay on my 360 and online capabilities for multiplayer, I'm sold, particularly for Halo 2.

And what would be great, is if they could make the 3 Halo 2 missing missions; the one where Master Chief and Miranda along with ODSTs board a Covenant Carrier after the Cairo Station mission and blow it from the inside, Forerunner Tank which takes place in the middle of the super long mid-game cinematic which constitutes a bigger Gravemind introduction and awesomeness would ensue type of gameplay. And then you have the obvious last mission which everyone would want to play. Any Halo 2 fan would want new missions, and for all those who didn't particularly like the Arbiter, it would make more sense to play 3 missions more as the Master Chief, clearly showing him as the game's hero. Though such massive remaking of Halo 2 seems VERY unlikely, I'm still able to dream right? :)

  • 10.14.2010 9:15 AM PDT

It should be Halo CE where you play as the covenant.

  • 10.15.2010 7:07 AM PDT

Johnny, do you think they would be able to give us a better engine for Halo 2? I loathed it, and still do.

  • 10.15.2010 11:03 PM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

This would be so much win!!

  • 10.15.2010 11:14 PM PDT

I REALLY hope that they change as little as humanly possible.

What I want is for the game to be recreated pixel by pixel, code by code, but with online capabilities.

If ANYONE who works on it TOUCHES the weapon balance, I will personally beat their head in with a crowbar.

You'd have to get through Jerome first. Good luck with that.
