Why will you not just make an xbox or xbox360 Halo with XBOX live! You know it would make you tons of $$$$, or at least Micro$oft tons of $. Hell, if Micro$oft's "fantastic" marketing team would have used that grey matter, they would have a product for release this X-mas which would make EVERYONE happy. So, what's the deal...why no Halo 1 on XBOX live? ANYONE?

...go back because there is a huge market. How would they lose money? I understand some man power would have to be used to make H1 for XBL, but it can't be as time consuming and expensive as making a new enigine and game. I would just like to hear someone in the "know" explain the logic behind not making this happen this year.

Halo 1 for LIVE would be so profitable that bungie is too ignorant to realize this. They have no idea the vast quantity of players that would pay to play Halo CE online. It doesn't require much to do anyways.

Are you really so stupid as to seriously believe that? That the reason they don't "Realize This" is because they are ignorant? Ha! You make me sick. The way you say that doesn't even make sense. A thing is so profitable it makes them too ignorant to realize that it's profitable? Wtf? Try something along the lines of priorities. Still not getting it? Well, let me help you then.

HALO 3 YOU STUPID (Expletive Deleted)!

Hmm...well...now don't you look stupid. And who says they will never make an updated version? I myself would like to see a halo for the 360 or a makeover for the game. Same gameplay, better graphics sort of thing. Yea, that would be cool. Especially with live support.

Yeah.

Like the Halo version of Counter Strike : Source.

Wrong.

Try using the handy-dandy nifty-new search feature to have a look at the several hundred prior threads discussing the difficulty of porting Halo CE over to Live. To summarise, it'd involve a total rewrite of the netcode and a lot of adjustments to pretty much every other aspect of Halo's multiplayer; that time is (in Bungie's opinion) better spent writing new games instead of rewriting old ones.

-- Steve's thinking that folks would be disappointed at how much it'd play like Halo 2 after all the necessary adjustments in any case.

Indeed. Many like myself, purchased Halo PC, or used Xbox Connect or KAI.
