No actually, that is not complete bull-blam!-. Bungie has been commenting on this for years, that they cannot simply "patch" CE to play on xbl and the biggest reason for that is because they would have had to remake the game from the ground-up as it was never made for xbl multiplayer. That means there was never any consideration for weapon balance outside of split-screen or LAN, and that IS A BIG DEAL.
If you think it's a simple or smart thing to take existing CE MP and throw it on live you understand relatively little about game design or game balance.It's not complete bull-blam!-, but it is pretty garbage. The reason it works on LAN at all is because of bandwidth. Honestly, if everyboady had cable or fiber, the game would run fine most of the time. The game doesn't send that much information console to console. But the low standards of "broadband" logistically kill hce multiplayer cuz about half the population would lag too severely to play a decent game.
But that is in no way the fault of the developer or 343i as the guy I quoted was insinuating, that's my point.Oh, I agree with your stance. I*'m just pointing why it still does suck but it's not really in their control.
