I was just thinking that it might be possible to make Halo:CE playable online on the 360. Here's why. Halo will be playable on the 360 via an emulator embedded on the hard drive. Some emulators have been able to make games that were not designed for online play, playable online. I don't know the specifics of how it could be done, but it seems like tunnelling code could be embedded into the emulator to allow online play on the 360 with Halo. Kind of like throwing everybody into a LAN party. Sounds like it could be possible. Then everybody that really wants Halo online would be happy and the entire game would not have to be re-coded. Plus, more people would play because they wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of using a separate program on their computer. What do you guys think? Possible? Impossible? Possible, but not likely to happen?

No, it is not going to happen. Forget it. Besides being a continuation of the story, that's why Bungie made Halo 2; It allows you to play online with your friends. Bungie have already said that it would be like them going back a step. It is not going to happen

Well bungie should get their act together and LISTEN TO THE FANS. A lot of people want an online CE, or at least one that you can lan with more than 4 boxes. I mean, Halo 1 is the better game, because it's more balanced and more fun, as well as takes more skill.

no.....the majority prefers h2. ur feeble minority doesnt stand a chance against the h2 fans, the true fans, who are not afraid of change, such as the exclusion of ur beloved Pistol.

Stop talking about the Pistol and how you think people who like Halo 1 better whine becasue it's not in Halo 2. Don't you get it? Not many people do whine about it, but you still continue to stereotype all the people who like Halo 1 better about the Pistol. FORGET ABOUT IT! If they want to use the Halo 1 Pistol they can just play Halo 1. They don't need people to tell them to "STFU go sit in a corner and cry about it." If you come to the Halo on Xbox forum just to yell at all the Halo 1 lovers then your wasting your time.

I'm going to say No, but what would be cool is if they made a system link tunnel service built into the 360 for Halo and a few other games, simulaer to XBC but you do it on your 360 dashboard, but that's ultra-unlikely.

The molestation of the pistol is not the worst of the Halo redesign sins, there are so many it's almost impossible to pick

Halo PC ISN'T HALO ON LIVE.

Halo PC is a totally different game, and use of a controller on PC is rediculous. Halo 2 is NOT perfect. Starting with an inaccurate gun is perfection in your eyes? Having to deal with latency and inconsistency of weapons, THAT'S perfect?

Halo 1 may not have been 100% perfect, but Halo 2 isn't even 50% perfect. Halo 1 IS a balanced game, unlike it's completely different "sequel".

Halo 1 fans, a.k.a. the smart/good population of players, want an online halo 1 so that they can actually talk to who they're playing with, and to be able to play with more than the small amount of people on XBC these days.

The pistol is NOT THE ONLY REASON. We want a game that's fair and balanced. And whoever said Halo 2:CE. Go hang yourself. H2CE =/= H1 AT ALL.

Halo 1 is BETTER,
despite what you Pistol haters say. And most of you only hate the pistol because you can't use it, unlike the weaposn in halo 2 which are about as hard to use as using a cap gun.

I really wish that they would enable Halo online for the 360. I still like to play all of the old maps sometimes, but now that I have my computer set up wirelessly, I can no longer use XBC with my current set up and Halo PC just isn't the same.

I think that Halo online would be -blam!-ing awesome.

As for the Pistol, there's a VERY good reason why. If you've read the Fall of Reach, you know that the Pillar of Autumn was on a special mission and got upgraded weapons. In Halo 2, it was standard UNSC Weaponry. If you look at the Pisols, the Halo 1 one was called the M6D, in Halo 2 it was the M6C. A downgraded version of the Halo 1 Pistol. Now, if anyone who has any problems with Halo 2 and how it aint "perfect" to Halo CE because you didn't like how Bungie did things then lemme know and then go -blam!- urself. I aint a Halo 1 fan hater cuz I am a Halo CE fan. I'm also a Halo 2 fan. No one ever thought about liking both games. You're not restricted to just one game

I concur with you, S7riker. I like Halo 2, but I also like Halo 1. I like Halo 2 for the BR, and I like Halo 1 for the Pistol and the old maps/original versions of Battle creek and Blood Gulch. Since Bungie refuses to release Halo:CE on Xbox Live, or better, a port of the PC version since it has the flamethrower and the fuel rod. I know i know, a port of a port back to the original system is weird, but Halo PC is a effing good game! I understand that it would be a "backwards step" to re-releasing Halo:CE on Live, but Bungie should seriously consider the $$$ potential. Heck, ill post a poll about it...
