[22:08] [JohnHoward:] The Halo 1 pistol wasn't a mistake...
[22:08] [JohnHoward:] It was also intended to be the ultimate hold out weapon...
[22:09] [JohnHoward:] I always believe that balance is about giving each weapon / ability / whatever it's own perfect situation.

Okay, the following may sound like I am bashing Bungie, flaming people who like Halo 2, or something of that nature. I want to start out by saying that BOTH Halo AND Halo 2 are amoung my favorite games ever. This is no anti-community rant in any way. Now that that's out fo the way, lets get down and dirty.
I'm not sure if any of you talk on Halo2forum.com, but the webmaster there has made a PDZforum.com website. I have been talking there since it's creation, and I am very fond of Perfect Dark Zero. I notice that the lag in this game is almost nonexistant. It makes me wonder... just hold that thought, okay?
I am personally tired of Halo 2, for reasons probably stated over and over again by many flamers, trolls, elitists and idiots. I'm not going to go into detail, but I feel that I am too good of an individual and/or team player to enjoy halo 2 anymore. It's just too easy for bad people to be good, and the tactics involve are too sour for my taste. I learned to be good at FPS's, particularly at team games, from playing Halo 2. I guess I just outgrown the game. I'm just tired of playing Halo 2.
There are tons of other gamers like me. I know there are. I went back to Halo 1 and re-discovered what a good game it was for a player like me. It is harder, there are many ways to win, and a bunch of other stuff many angry fans have probably mentioned. The only problem is my computer can't handle XBC, and I suck with a mouse, so the PC version just angers me. It's also not that lag-free either.. bleh...
A thought has occurred to me, and has been bugging me for a while now. I know from experience with PDZ that the 360 can have SWEET network performance. I think good connection, and I think Halo 1, and I get a very nice idea. Why not release a Multiplayer Halo 1 game for the 360 that is compatible with Xbox Live? I know that Halo 1 can be played on the 360, and I know that HUGE PC games can be played on the 360 (Oblivion) and even PS2 games (FFXI-O)
If this Halo 1 online game was released, I would be uber happy. Tons of people would. I bet this question has been asked over and over again. Maybe I'm too interested about this theroetical game, but I just want an official answer as to why It hasn't been done, so I came here. I know it has got to have been considered before, and I know the people at Bungie have decided not to make it for a reason. Since you are officially not working on Halo 3, why the hell not, ya know?
I'd like a member of Bungie to answer this for me with considerable details, if possible. I did a quick scan of the stickies here and didn't find anything. Sorry if this question has been answered in plain sight: I didn't see it.
