I've waited the better part of a decade for you to release the halo ce multiplayer experience on xbox live. Why'd you have to go and reinvent the wheel with halo 2?
Anyway, when I recently heard that halo ce was FINALLY going to be released on xbox live I was overjoyed, my faith in your humanity almost completely restored. Me and my college buddies, who used to have such a great time playing with one another via LAN but who have now all split ways, were super excited to get to play one another again via xbox live. The initial press releases seemed to promise the same experience as the original. Now I come to find that the multiplayer experience will actually just be a few of the old maps updated for the Reach engine.
:o

GUYS - Swallow your pride. The original campaign was great, but it was the multiplayer experience that made your game happen for the majority of people. And I feel like I can say that with confidence.
Is this about the pistol? Cause it is for me. Why can't you just bring back that original multiplayer experience? If not for a new game, at least for the 10 year anniversary of the damn thing.
I'm so disappointed. Seriously.
I would have paid $60 no problem for the original game on xbox live without the fancy new skin. Although, it does look pretty tight. Why get my hopes up, and then crush them over and over again? Are you doing this for fun?

Admittedly,
Pistol Wh*re

Well Bungie isn't making it, 343 is so you can complain to them about it lol.

His observations seem pretty accurate to me. He just stated that he's dissapointed that the original multiplayer experience won't be in the game.
I feel your pain man, but you realize you can still play the original Halo CE, right?

No, he wasn't accurate. He blames Bungie when Bungie had nothing to do with this.

OP, its my personal belief that if you are so uninformed that you don't know Bungie is doing this, then you don't have the right to get so emotional over the entire deal. If you really felt that strongly why didn't you know the franchise was being taken over by another company? Truly if you felt that strong you'd know that.

If you want the original Halo: Combat Evolved Multiplayer in full HD then go buy the PC version of it. If you know what you're doing the graphics can be turned up a lot higher than most think. It's personally my favorite multiplayer experience on Halo. (If you can find a server that has good gametypes/map cycle on it..)

"Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die." - Kurt-051's last words.

Solution: Get Halo PC

Problem solved.

(And BTW, Bungie's innocent. 343i is making CEA.)
