So Iv'e only played halo since halo 3 because i'm 14 but I was wondering if it would be worth downloading Halo CE of the XBL marketplace for 1200 MS points.
Any answers will be appreciated.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It's better if you buy the game disk from the original Xbox.

Should get Halo for the PC if you have the right PC for it.

Agreed, so many problems when we tried to LAN with the XBL version of Halo CE. Just go to a best buy or Gamestop, be like $5-$15 for the game depending if you want it new or used.

I definitely recommend playing the game at least.

i say wait for august they might bring out a xbox best sellers/classics version of the game for the tenth anniversary or else a remake

I downloaded Halo from XBL and it plays as well as the original disk. I say go for it! It's a great game. Might be a bit of a shock going back to those graphics from Reach though. ;)

If there is a remake it will likely not play anything like the original. Games have come so far that it will be nearly impossible to make it the same as far as gameplay goes.

On the other hand, a remake will kick-ass in it's own right.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Buy the disc. It's much better.

My full opinion is that the best way, by far, to experience Halo 1 is on an oXbox and a CRT TV.

But even on an LCD and a 360, which is IMO the absolute worst way to experience it, it's my favorite Halo campaign.

The downsides you might get on such a setup:
-Some vfx, such as the sky fog on AotCR, don't render correctly on 360 (they replaced that particular effect with a flat fade in the 360 emulation)
-Framerate isn't consistantly good on either platform, but on the 360 it's not as stable and it's more difficult to compensate
-Halo 1 sounds comparatively awful on most flatscreen speakers (the sound consistantly seems a little off, but most obnoxious are the terrible sfx/music balance issues that crop up)
-The color balance of the game looks better on a CRT no matter how much you adjust most LCD's (though this could arguably be said for almost anything)
-If your flatscreen has bad input latency, and many do, especially HDTV's, it can clash with Halo 1's smaller hitboxes and lower reticle magnetism and cause the game's controls to feel loose and slippery

Asking if you should download CE is like asking if you should eat food.

  • 05.15.2011 6:38 PM PDT

disk is better but regardless it is a great game just because it was glitchy doesnt mean he shouldnt get it

  • 05.15.2011 6:44 PM PDT

I suggest the PC version, then you can get Halo CE for free with it which is also pretty cool.

And never say a game sucks because of the graphics.

Go find a cheap original xbox version or play it on PC. Actually Halo: CE is almost better on the PC just because of the awesome multiplayer which surprisingly still has a strong online presence to this day.
