"Can you smell fish?"

Is it true that Halo CE is coming to Xbox Live Arcade?

Anyone have any info?

Hmm that might not be a bad idea, but GameSpy already has a program out that can be linked to an Xbox console to play Halo: CE over Internet connection. check it out: How to... play Halo online

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Microsoft has been toying around with the idea of having original Xbox games downloadable to the 360. Rumor moles all around believe Halo 1 will arrive for download sometime before July.

I doubt it. Halo CE is pretty big for a download.

HaloPunk91 you are semi-correct but the Halo CE multiplayer maps files are not as large as the Campaign.

I think this is a great idea because millions of people like me who were upset at halo 2 will finally get a chance to build stats online playing halo 1.This move will also sell x-box360 at a rapid rate.

Hey Bungie dont let us down "same game"" same weapons"" same vehicles"" same maps"" same engine".PS3 is just around the corner and this is the only thing that can slow them down.Start the hype ASAP.

I cant wait to play H A L O - 1 . 5 "T H E S P O R T"

Still too big, the game engines are what takes up the space, not the maps. Multiplayer or campaign maps are small comparatively.


Not a likely prospect.

Im with you, it would be nice to actually play a game of Halo on Xbl instead of this novice game. There is a link to an article about this in the Xbox / H2 forums. I have no plans for a 360, but if this comes out i'll run right out and get one.

Would be an awsome prospect that I would love to see, but I believe this as much as I believe that Skittles will one day rain from the sky (So I really could have a chance to taste the rainbow).

The REAL Master Chief

I have posted on this before and bungie says it is not going to happen due to most people already own it and people play halo 2 more.I think alot more people would play halo online if they had the choice.The tunnel programs are too complicated for most people plus its too laggy to even play.
Just the maps for halo 1 arcade would be awesome.I would buy them in a second.

Just a thought but Bungie may not be making it. MS own the rights so how hard would it be to have a small team tweaking the net code!

Halo - Feet First

Wanna talk outside the Bungie Forums? if_i_had_a_shotgun@hotmail.com

I don't think they should make it for arcade. Instead, a smaller game where you play as a marine fighting on Halo (same design as Time Crisis?). That would be good.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

First Bungie is not the same without Alex Seropian (the founder of Bungie).
You can post a good idea about Halo 1 all day and they just dont care.Why?because the Halo 1 engine is gone and locked in Alex Seropian's head,where copyrights, patents and tradmarks cant touch it.

Second Halo 1 being played online was ahead of its time thats why it was so laggy.Broadband companies now offer more upload and download speed since the game was first playable on xbx. I cant remember the last time i had lag on XBC.

Man, it would be so cool if you had any clue what you were talking about. You'd be able to make good points, and valid arguments. All without looking like a tool or a fanboi.

Perhaps someday.

Please don't encourage Shishka.

I still don't believe that Halo: CE going Live is likely. Besides the fact that it would take up a huge amount of space, it would be a task to rewrite the game to make it Live-compatible, as far as I understand.

If they were able to get a few levels on there, maybe. Otherwise, I don't see them wasting their time. Better to focus on the myriad of other future projects.

First and foremost, Stubbs was built using the Halo engine that Bungie built from the ground up. This was less than ideal for contractors who hadn't worked with it before, as Bungie had no documentation for the engine, nothing to use to train people how to work with the engine or troubleshoot problems that arose. As a result, Seropian said he spent an inordinate amount of time not just training people how to use the engine. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6146662.html

Hey Shishka im not a fanboi of bungie/microsoft studios because bungie/microsoft studios made halo 2,I'm a fanboi of Alex Seropian just like you and the rest of the fans of Halo 1.

E3 2006 Shishka we shall see the fruits of my labor.
E3 2006 Shishka we shall see speculative Hope.
E3 2006 Shishka we shall see the PS3's Kryptonite.
E3 2006 Shishka we shall see Halo 1 on X-box live.
muhahahah
