Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If you use a router, try putting the computer in DMZ and then try to connect.

I think Halo 3 and Halo Reach should be made for PC.

Bungie could port them to make up for the last two games botched by interlopers.

Because Bungie is not a money hungry company
and because it's a dumb idea to remake those games.

I think Halo Wars should have been PC only, and had a plot that didn't suck, and wasn't a cookie cutter RTS, and didn't cater to game play with the faction choices rather than the fluff...

I wouldn't mind a Graphic update, and updated physics, but keep the game engine (PFR ftw)

ANY RTS is stupid for console, the interface does not work at all.

"-blam!-" - The most commonly used phrase on Xbox Live.
"Ooooh, pretty blue thing," - My sister said that the first time she saw a live Plasma grenade.

>implying I'm trolling
kid, stop trying to be cool on the internet.

I legitimately hate Halo Wars* and all console RTS from Command and conquer on the N64 to C&C 4 on the 360.

Play C&C: RA, play any Civ, play age of empires, play ST:A1, and tell me that they would better on a console with the limited controller input interface. In fact, they would be FAR worse.

*the plot and retconning also helped ruin the game

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Imagine Warcraft 3 on a console.

...

Done reeling in disgust yet? Cause I'm not.

I have the advantage of not playing RTS games. That makes me suck, but I haven't had to suffer the console attempts. Never played Halo Wars. I'm sure Halo CE will be an unlockable mini-game in a Bungie title 10 years down the road when we're all playing in VR.

"Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop smokin'!"

Bungie shouldn't. They should continue on with their new franchise. If this ever was to be done, 343i would/should have to handle it.

A project like this would have to be sold to the executives that approve financing for such projects. After the results of H2V though, I'm not sure how MS would view such a proposal. Had there been better development in supporting modding for the game, I think community activity would have lasted more for it.

They could have easily made the editing kit DLC (not in the Live sense) only, or just kept bare minimum on disc and supplied more "advance" content online, again as DLC. This could have addressed issues like DVD disc space. I don't think they would have ever gone with a multidisc release so DLC would have been the route, if any.

It would be better for 343i to invest into porting Reach to PC. Then, having a editing kit tester team (preferably volunteered based if time allowed, and from the community) develop ports of old Halo missions to provide POCs of the kit's ability in average-game-modder's hands.

Using Reach's revision of the Halo engine would allow people to take advantage of the new designer-driven game variants and also online-coop. Oh, and let's not forget Forge. List goes on, but I don't see complete remakes of Halo 1 and 2 ever being seriously considered by production leads or studio execs working at MS.

It sounds fun and good on paper but people would just start -blam!-ing how it's not like the original. It's the original, you can't beat it. Whether you realize it or not, you have this set notion in your head of what and how Halo 1/2 is. Even just graphical "enhancements" will change this. The new and improved networking will also distort the "feel" that you already have for the games. A remake will never be the same, no matter how hard you wish it to be. Time is better spent expanding on the story than beating the same dead horses.

QFT.
Halo 1/2 are ancient, there's not much going for them.

The thing about the "original" in any game series is that it usually WILL be the best because it HAS to succeed. If it doesn't get off the ground, the possibility for franchise dies. Once the company who set out to make a kick ass game see the money flow in and realizes the devoted fan base they have is willing to pay for a lower quality product everything after will pale in comparison.

yes, it has suceeded. But certain modders, hackers and programmers are realizing, the Halo 1/2 PC engines are not satisfying their needs, they want a better engine to work on.
Look at how Halo:Reach PC can satisfy them?
