Well to start this off i'm just throwing this out there as a great idea a friend and I came up with. I've thought about this for a few days and see no flaw's as of yet. If necessary, you can point out flaws in a nice and orderly manner. Anyways, our idea was to split halo 1 multiplayer from single player. What i'm saying here is, take halo 1's multiplayer, rewrite the netcode so that it may be playable online. Finish it up, maybe even give it updated graphics, and place it on Xbox Live Marketplace to download. Who can disagree with Bungie redoing halo 1's multiplayer so it's live capable and posting it for download off of xbox live. Basically a standalone game available to all gold membership subscribers. Hell if need be, Bungie could also throw in the ranking system and things. Don't get me wrong here, i don't want them to drop everything else they have planned off and do this. It's my belief that this could go VERY VERY far and could potentially become one of the most played games especially over live. I can even see more silver membership's upgrading to gold so they can download and play this. I'd appreciate everyone and anyone's feeback on this. I really hope the guys at Bungie can find this and take it to heart. Maybe atleast running it past the whole team and with Microsoft to see what everyone thinks of it. I know i'd be playing it quite often.

I wish they would do that!!!

I would pay any ammount of points for it, and i would give up Halo 3 for Halo 1 online!

ya tell me about it. That's why I believe this would be a GREAT idea... maybe ya know after halo 3 comes out. It could be a very very good idea. Like i said, I know pleeeeenty of people who'd defenitly dig this.

Would still want them to come out with a hard copy of this for sale. I have no need/want to buy a 360 at this time, yet love the idea of Halo CE on XBox Live. But, I hear talk that Halo 3 is going to feel a lot more like Halo CE. I'll wait and see what others think...if it sounds like it's more like Halo CE, I'll run right out and get a 360 and Halo 3. I won't be standing in line at midnight this time around. The proof is in the pudding.

yes indeed. Either way hardcopy or download. It would be an incrediblely smart decision on Bungie's part.

you can play halo one online over x-box connect. but its hard to find people who are not playing modded levels. playing mods are fun for a while but, i need to face serious people , and you cant be serious when you're playing mods.

no no lol. I've used xbc before for halo 1. Fact is, it's 95% of the time laggy and you can't even play it. If they could just revamp halo 1 and make it available to play over xbl i'm sure we wouldn't have any lag or ping issues.

It is cool, it would be accepted by a lot of Halo CE veterans, but it probably won't come out until after Halo 3 is out.

Ya, of course I wouldn't mind it coming out after Halo 3. I'm just trying to hopefully get something started to maybe point this out to the higher ups and Bungie. I'd like to see this thread more active to signify a greater backing to it. If anyone has any idea's, suggestions, or just saying yay or nay. Please give feedback and your comments!

Or they could release a patch like the 360 only maps for Halo 2.


Please Bungie. I dont think halo 2 sucks but all those great moments of assult rifles on Hang em high could be rlived.


Also maybe give us dowloadable maps like the New Mobassa map for custom edition

If it came out as a disc it would be better. Theres not much room on that hard drive. I agree that some version of the Halo 1 gameplay needs to be playable on xbox live.

"never say never" and always be "careful of what you wish for"

They should just make Halo playable for the 360.
