While most people will argue that 343 Industries is throwing away a perfect oppurtunity to repurpose classic Halo CE multiplayer for online play, I disagree. 343 has their reasons for not including the classic multiplayer in the remake (lag out the -blam!-, pistol whoring, vehicle handling, lack of customization, lack of maps and custom options to sustain an online community for more than a few months, ect.). Essentially, I've come to conclusion that the only logical thing to do at this point to cross my fingers and hope 343 can pull this one out so that I can not worry about Halo 4, because God knows I am right now!
Honestly, Halo 1 multiplayer would be awful to remake. Don't get me wrong, some things about it are good, but things like melee, vehicles, and half the maps really would need to be changed. And by changing that it'd screw up the single player.
Furthermore, you really don't want to create another mp to compete against reach, especially when Halo 4 is coming out in another year. It'd just be overkill.
