Not trying to bash Halo 2, but I have always thought 2 and CE would be THE BEST games on live, except for ONLY 2 being on Live.

My reaction was they have better things to do and have their reasons. They are a game studio running under microsoft and know more than you about the gaming market and how much their resources can handle. They know more about what it would take to port it and decided not to, and that is there right.

Just because people dont agree with it doesnt mean its stupid. Thats just an immature way of crying over not getting what you want. It would be great and all, but its not going to happen. Obviously if it were a gold mine and were easy it would be done. But again, bungie knows more about what it would cost and how much they would make that anyone here.

So since I dont know the inner workings of their company, I just understand they have their reasons. Besides, this has been discussed a bajillion times.

Practically there is halo:ce on xbox live, its called halo2. Its the same game with more features... why go and patch such an old game anyway?

Just thought I'd add: anyone who thinks Bungie is mainly aiming to make money is a moron, how much more cynical can you get? I've seen loads of companies worse than Bungie, and I've never seen a game on xbox that could rival halo2 (for the same type of game of course, so I'm not comparing completely different things. Like racing and fps) Can't wait for Bungie to deliver that fatal kick in the balls to sony.

3rd edit: What makes people think they know better than Bungie anyway? I get tired of that kiddy kind of "HAHAHAHAHA I CAN SPAM YOUR FORUMS!!!" or "OMG MY IDEAS PWN!!!!" (usually associated with halo2 bashing, but this is a different case that has a point) trying to tell a company whos game has sold over 7,000,000 copies isn't a very good idea. There are a number of reasons why it wouldn't work anyway...

- The 360 is coming out, why go back six years to give halo:ce live, when its sequel -which is also more popular- already has it?
- Would end up losing money rather than gaining/staying stable.

It would be pointless. Just get Halo PC. That's even better, because you an get CE for free and download custom maps.

Wow...just wow... what 2 Halo games have you been playing....You think they are basically the "same game"?

Wha? You been smokin waay too many goldfish...

If they were the basically same game, halo2sucks.com would not exist.

My first reaction was that of confusion. There is an outcry for Bungie to make more money by creating Halo Live capable and selling t to fans. And they decided that it wasn't going to happen.
Of course I thought of reasons why, couple are valid, so right now I guess I have to stick with LAN parties. I had difficulties with XBC due to the distances of my computer to my xbox.

I said: the same game... with more features, grrr. As for h2s, what kind of obese nerd sits his ass down insulting something that everyone else likes and thinks its cool? We all come from the same bunch of game freaks, but at least the "fanbois" are supporting something rather than complaining. I've noticed that h2s complains about halo2 more than they support halo:ce, damn sad community. Everyone who thinks 1>2, bear in mind that just because you think something sucks, it doesn't mean that everyone else does... and for the love of god do not bring your crap to b.net, we don't want to hear it.

If a bunch of people thought it was cool to stick your weiner in a lightbulb socket, would you do it?
If a bunch of people jumped off a cliff, would you do it?
Sure, alot of people like the game. I, myself Love halo 2. It would be nice to have Halo: CE on Live because they could co-exsist, all of the hardcore people who LOVE Halo will buy it, plus the casual gamers might/would buy it just because it would bring back lots of memorys of the days of Halo: CE. They are still selling Halo: CE, and you probably wont see them stop making it for awhile now. All Bungie has to do is keep the $20 Platinum hits cost, and put a little itty bitty sticker that says "NOW ONLINE!" With the usual orange bar accross it. If They werent making any money by selling Halo: CE, they obvoiusly would stop making it. So obviously there is still a market for it despite the goodness of Halo 2.

Funny how you decided to insult me on a gaming forum. Very mature. Very misguided. Seeing as I have played Soccer consistently every year since I was 3, I would think that I would probably not be fat.

Anyway, if this was a Halo 2 vs Halo thread I would post overused post about why I find Halo more appealing. And yes it has the aspects of what I feel Halo masters the FPS feeling. If you went to the Library forum, you would see that Halo>Halo2 people do infact support Halo. Just because you might hang out on this forum and only see one side doesn't mean thats the correct view.

blahblahblah whatever, I don't care what I choose to do on the internet and I don't care if you play soccer either... halo:ce will never be on xbox live no matter how much you petition, drool or fantasize about it, so maybe we could give up and stop dedicating the entire forum to wether halo:ce will be on xbox live or not and use it properly? Its already been confirmed by Achronos [uh... sp?] so lets let these discussions die and talk about something else... MAYBE there is nothing to talk about... MAYBE the library has no use anymore?

uh dude..this is the library.

Halo 1>2 and halo 2>1 arguments are all based on opinions. There are factors that I like that are better in Halo 1, and there there are dozens of other things in Halo 2 that I like better than 1. There are things I dont like in both games. They each have their good and bad points. Why cant we all just leave it be and let people like the games without cursing them out for it. Everyone has a right to like what they want without being capped on for it.

Here's my opinion.

-The idea of Bungie re-doing Halo CE for XBL is ridiculous. It will never happen. It sounds like a nice idea, I know I would buy it, but come on, when has something like that ever happened in the gaming industry? Halo is not like Mario Kart, where they can keep remaking it for each new system that comes out. If you really thought it was going to happen then you've been fooling yourself. The only way we will see Halo 1 again is if Microsoft make a portable games console, like an xbox version of the PSP. That's the only way you see games recycled like that.

-Anyone who thinks that 2 is basically 1 with a few added features didn't pay a lot of attention while playing them. 2 has a different engine, a different feel, and different mechanics. I'm not going to get into the issue of what is better. But you can't say in the same post 'they are the same game' and then say 'Halo 2 is better, anyone who doesn't think so is wrong' (or an obese nerd...haha..idiot).

So, to all Halo2 fans, stop acting so horrified just because some people don't think your favourite game was as good as its predecessor. If you can't hear that opinion without screaming 'fanboy!' then you are a fanboy yourself. And Halo 1 fans, be realistic - the best you can do is cross your fingers and hope Halo 3 turns out to have the things that you loved so much about H1.

I will not vote in this so-called "pole", since there are no options that completely disagree with you.

haha, mario kart... or pokemon, maybe. The thing about obese nerds is a little misleading... I don't care if you like halo:ce or not. But if you're posting destructive crap in the underground and attacking Bungie saying they should make their next project just like halo:ce to suit you, then that IS sad. When ea games continued the c'n'c franchise, they started going for red alert, instead of the tiberian series... that pisses me off but if it suits the majority of people then I'm fine with it, I don't have to buy it, they're not going to hold me down and make me play it.

Let try to avoid the "bungie why" threads... "whats you're favourite weapon?" and "hunters" popped up overnight, make use of them.

i was pretty sure bungie wasn't going to make halo CE for live anyways, so i never really got my hopes up. Bungie is probably working on their next project (whether halo related or not) and will be spening time on that, instead of halo 1 on live. Plus halo CE is impossible to update.
