I'm not sure how many times this may have come up in the threads but it has been on my mind ever since they took the servers away from Halo 2.

Someone must not be thinking or really be stubborn to not want or allow Halo 2 to be put up on the Xbox Live Arcade. I miss playing Halo 2 on XBL more than any other game, it is probably my favorite of all the Halo games. In my opinion they should at least give Halo: Combat Evolved an update to where they can have online multiplayer, this way they could make some profit and Halo fans would be all the more satisfied. I haven't really given the first Halo much of a chance because I'm a huge fan of online gameplay and I'm not so sure Halo: Combat Evolved could satisfy me w/o any online multiplayer. Maybe they could also include an update for a Forge version of one or both games.

I haven't gone through any research but it sounds like you might know why, is Bungie no longer working w/ Halo on games from the past or is it something to do w/ Mircrosoft?

So, it's possible to port Marathon 2: Durandal with upgraded textures/online gameplay, but, not the same for Halo 1 and 2? That's a little odd to me, but, okay.

By the way, I'm not sure they would put effort into making a Forge feature, but, I think they'd be able to all the other stuff, though.

Also, to the guy wondering about what the relationship between Bungie/Halo/Microsoft is, Bungie has signed the rights over for Halo completely over to Microsoft. The only people who are allowed to work on any future Halos is a group known as "343 Industries" who is made up of some old Bungie employees (For instances, Frankie) and some new guys.

Yeah, I don't see why it can't be done. I've talked to one of my friends about it and he's really into the Halo franchise so if there were any reasons as to why it hasn't been done and why they aren't doing it I'd figure he'd know why, so I haven't done any research about why it hasn't been done if there even is a reason.

Halo 2: Yes
Halo 1: No.

Halo 2's multiplayer should be made stand alone by 343, just like Battlefield 1943 for instance, and be put on XBL for about 1200 MSP.
