I've been asking for a version of Halo:CE that's Xbox Live compatible for many, many, many years now. I'm really hoping 343 Industries comes through, and does what so many of us original and hardcore fans have been asking for. It amazes me that Bungie has been so unresponsive to this.If you had any understanding of the current markets and general demand for a remake, you would not be amazed.
How hard would it have been to make Halo:CE Xbox Live compatible and release that version on the marketplace.Considerably difficult, considering that making it compatible would constitute remaking the entire game, as there is literally no netcode. In addition nobody has really dealt with the code in almost a decade.
I would have paid another $60.You and a few others. Not a viable market to spend thousands of man hours on it.
Of course, Bungie just decided to pursue the next biggest paycheckDo you know how our economy works? Companies exist to make money. Consumers like your parents buy products companies make. Then the company pays some of that money to all its employees so they can buy products and some to its investors. Of course they're going to go for a larger profit.
and continued to dumb down a great game. Less skill and more guns. That's been the theme since Halo 2.That's been the theme in all FPS games since Halo 2. Quit your -blam!-ing.
You've really disappointed me, Bungie. I personally have many friends that used to play Halo:CE on Xbconnect and at LAN partiesI'm sure you do.
and everyone agrees with what I've just said.Of course.
Such an idiotic decision to release Halo before Xbox Live.This has got to be the most idiotic thing you've said. Much more so than releasing the game before X-Box Live. Do you realize why it was released beforehand? The X-Box had nothing going for it at launch. Each hardware system was sold at a loss. There were no big title games. Except this little known game called Halo: Combat Evolved. This game single-handedly saved the X-Box and Microsoft's gaming division. If it was to be made compatible with online, it would have been pushed back months at minimum and the X-Box would have flopped.
RIP, Bungie.Why do you say this? They're doing quite well. They've even signed on with Activision.
