Everyone knows that Halo 1 is the best game of all time and that 90% of pro gamers hated halo 2 (Darkman retired because of it). So why not give us something back? Bungie is always working on their next project, whatever that might be. You screwed up by releasing Halo 2 before it was ready and changing everything in the game making it a farce. You took out almost everything that required skill in Halo 1 and make Halo 2 an average gamers paradise. All we are asking is that you give us Halo 1 on XBL. Why is that so difficult? Halo 1 wasn't broken but you opted to fix it anyway. Halo 2 is a joke. I still play Halo 1 religiously as do many of my friends. We still even have Halo 1 tourneys. Same maps, same gamestyles. Because we truly love the game. I am not against change, I am just against changing something that made it worse. Of course they will argue that Halo 2 is a better selling game and more people play it and you can't argue with results. Well, here is me arguing with results: The reason Halo 2 sold 5 million copies in a week is becuase of the success of Halo 1. And the reason people continue to play Halo 2 is becuase all of us bought Halo 2 and then played it with their friends. Then our nephews, or little brothers or their friends started playing it and they loved it cuz they never played halo 1, and halo 2 requires no skill, which is why they were immediately good at the game. The adult game (Mature 17 years +) became a kids game. My question is simple. If bungie can make millions re-releasing Halo 1 for xbl why don't they do it? I would buy it for the standard $50 per game just like every other game that comes out. Hell, I would pay $100 for it but that's me.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

the game is what 3 years old? 4?

Its not worth 50 anymore

thats why the tri-pack came out.

Halo 1 has xbl in it if i'm right, and it has Halo 2 with the extra maps in it.

No, Halo CE has never gotten LIVE added to it. Ever.

Reason? Here's a good explanation from Recon's posts.

Why Halo CE can't go LIVE

I'd pay a minimum of 50 bones for H1 with Live. A few more maps would be nice too. ;)

^ Correction, only those who hate Halo 2 want Halo CE on Live. And those who....want everything in a Halo game no matter how rediculous it sounds. It'll never happen, sorry to say.

actually ive tried gamespy, its much laggier, and those were games that shouldn't have been laggy (the host was either in Nebraska, where i live, or Kansas). But on XBC, if they host from Neb or Kansas i hardly have any lag

Yes lag is the main issue with XBC. I have tried all the tunnel programs and all of them have more lag than XBL. If Halo 1 had XBL capability I would live for about 40 days and then I would die, cuz that's how long you can live without food or sleep, and I would get very little of either. Also, someone said that the only people that want Halo 1 on XBL are the people that hate Halo 2. Not true, I just feel Halo 1 is a much better game. I haven't picked up Halo 2 in like 4 months but I am a level 30+ legit and would probably be a 40 or so if I ever played, so don't tell me I like H1 better because i suck at H2 because I probably -blam!- your face at Halo 2 also, I just think Halo 1 requires more skill.

Amen, Brother. The minute I began playing Halo 2 on Nov. 11th, I knew something was fishy about it, and it didn't take long for me to realise the game requires almost no skill. I have posted my rants before and I was overwhelmed with abusive replies. The thing is though mate, Bungie made Halo 1 good by accident. They didn't plan for the pistol to be the balanced weapon (thats right, the pistol was the balanced weapon) and so they made Halo 2. Bungie turned their back on all those people man....I shouldn't have been suprised.

As for those of you talking about XBC, you should try being English. Since we PAL users can only play PAL users (excluding many countries like France and Germany), and because everyone either moved onto Halo 2 or just gave up, there are hardly ever any H1 games available to play on any tunnelling apps like Kai or XBC. I have a group of at least 10 friends, we all LOVED Halo, and we all HATE Halo 2 with a passion. So before you think were just being idiots for not playing tunnelling apps, think about the rest of the world, buddy. I know alot of you will find this hard to believe, but America isn't the only country here.

XO, I appreciate your rant. I appreciate how pissed off, tired, and fed up you are of XBL, -blam!- 10 year old kids, and of course, SMG's! But the truth is, nobody will listen. There are thousands upon thousands of people who agree with you 100%, but Bungie will never listen. Because they gained a new audience, a new group of fans to excite and amuse.....the 10 year old kids from XBL. The older, mature, skilled players of yesteryear, are dead and gone in the eyes of Bungie. My recommendation: get a 360 and try to get involved with new games like CoD2, which requires a fair amount of skill. Feel free to message me on XBL if you wanna talk sometime.

Later.

Move on dude. Stop acting like Bungie owes you something. They dont owe you anything. Be happy that they even made Halo 1. They can make whatever game they please to, it doesnt have to make you happy.

  • 12.23.2005 11:53 AM PDT

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

Bungie have said that they have no plans of bringing xbox live to halo 1. Its not going to happen...

Maybe if bungie hits hard times in the distant future they'll have to sell the halo IP. Petition whoever buys it and you might get live compatability. But it's not going to happen in the near future.
