I would seriously do some sort of tribal dance if Halo 1 was ported to X360, and I'm sure many other people would too. Although I was going to buy Halo: PC, I had the tough decision of choosing that or Battlefield 2.

That is one good combination. I usually go for CTF games on Sidewinder and Blood Gulch, Slayer on Hang 'Em High, and some totally random gametype on any map.

Halo 1 will never be ported, dream again.

Halo 2 is 100 times better then HALO 1.

People would ruin Halo 1 live if they had it, you think modding began with halo 2? i think not.

and the pistol was as dominiant as can be imangined. even at very close range i was poppin head shots, the br isnt like that.

HALO 1 was incredible, HALO 2 is godly, HALO three will be released 2 years before the rapture, thats how heavenly it will be

holla at cha boi

"Halo 2 is 100 times better then HALO 1"
which part?

anywase, at first the pistol may seem rather powerful, but wiht much patience, you learn the weaknesses of it and can often conquer it with other weapons. but still, its just easier to kill a lot of people with it. though nothing really beats a PR toting AC guy. esecially after snagging a OS...

Here's an idea. In light of the lack of an obvious "killer app" for the 360, Bungie could repack Halo 1 & 2. Complete with all the new maps for Halo 2 and also making Halo 1 Live enabled.

Halo 2 is a good game, since 1.1, but 2 things sold Halo 2, promotional hype, and more so Halo 1. Where as with Halo 1, the second you saw it you knew you had to own it. It sold itself, I personally skipped school to play the demo at a local GameStop after playing it the previous evening.

Just one piece of info for Bungie, I'd watch the 360 launch real hard, as I'm willing to bet the numbers won't be nearly as strong with the lack of a Halo to push the console. PDZ will be good, but Halo it will not be, and with Oblivion missing the launch window, so I'd doubt it'd hurt to port over the killer app that put XBox on the map in the first place.

And to all the people bashing on Halo 1. Don't at all, ever. You have no right, because you are the people that play Halo 2, we are the people that play Halo 2, and without Halo 1 there would be NO 2. Those that bash Halo 2, don't as you also have no right, as Bungie has bent over backwards to give us what we want, they changed the game play mechanics DRASTICALLY with 1.1, and why? because we wanted it. One love of one franchise.

I'm spent.

what ever are u talking about headshot?
the magnum isnt rediculous! its a fair gun!
and the sword vs a SMG.. well, he shouldve got hte sword. the guy with the SMG is a nub, and it shows in his weapon choice. der!
and the shotgun losing to everyhting? well, yeah, its a close range gun.
and the rocket launcher killing anything? havnt you seen the army? all they do is run around with a sniper rifle and a SSM on their back!
recharging vehicle health? well, you shouldve got the SSM, but now you are simly screwed against the banshee. at least they turned off the FRG on it you nubs!

seriously- halo2 isnt balanced. not even if you were blind and dumb and mute and a quadraplegic and had mental instability would halo2 be balanced...

If you wanna see an airplane cemetery, why don't you just find an old airplane and look at where it goes?

Here's what I think:

Halo 1: Great cinematics, excellent gameplay, powerful plot. Weapons are good, too. The multiplayer is alright, although the power-ups should be toned down a little and the Pistol should be a 5 or so shot kill weapon. It's nice that you start out with it in most gametypes, but I like playing Slayer games. I downloaded the Halo 1 demo (I have Halo 1 for the Xbox, but my Xbox broke so while I wait to get a new motherboard, I play the Halo demo for the PC), but the only Slayer gametype is FFA Slayer, so it sucks that you don't start out with the Pistol. Anyway, it should be toned down a bit.

Halo 2: Great cinematics, good gameplay, okay plot. Weapons are a bit more balanced (although you start with an SMG, you also start with grenades, so I'd say it's balanced), and they give some power weapons handicaps such as the vehicles have to worry about homing rockets and people with objectives (flags, oddballs) can't pilot vehicles (in most cases).

In the end, I like Halo 1 a little more than Halo 2, but I like it for it's campaign mostly. If they gave it Live, it'd be nice, but I wouldn't really care that much, so I won't be disappointed if they keep multiplayer restricted to lans and split-screens.

pistol couldve been a 4 hit kill, sure. thats about it. maybe a little more power on the AR, but its fine as is for me. the pistol can be dodged. the PP could beat the PR. the snipes/rockets are usually away from the powerups. grenades did a lot more in halo1, so the SSM was worse off...

if halo1 was unbalanced, please tell me how making hte AR weaker, the sniper more powerful, the rocket launcher more versatile, and the PP less versatile balances anyhting?
i wanna hear this...

and try to mention halo2 vehicles and balance in the same sentence.
