If they made Halo 1 support Xbox Live I assure you that within a few months you would all be complaining about it just like you always complain about Halo 2's Live...

That's wrong... it would be a different group of people complaining. You're right that there would be complaining still though.


very true, people will complain about anything that doesn't go their way. not to mention the changes they would have to make to keep the game xbl friendly would ruin the experience.

Seems to me that people, when pointlessly advocating Halo: CE for XBL, keep imagining that it would be a straight port with no changes at all. This just irks me beyond all belief.

What they don't seem to realize is that balance issues come into play (that's right the same "balance issues" that keep your oh-so-precious FRC out of multiplayer in Halo 2).
Want the night vision in the scope of the SR from CE? Nope. Sorry. White button activates team speak. Bye-bye night vision.

Scope on the pistol? Finally we have it on teh interwebs!! Sorry, lag's going to spoil your fun. *disappointed sighs*

Want to use a vehicle to kill someone walking by it? Nope! Such lovely indestructible vehicles. Also sucks when they steal your Scorpion and and you can't do a damn thing about it.

Fire-and-forget rockets? HAHAHA! You've been playing too much Halo 2. No targeting computer on the launcher.

See where evrything you love about Halo: CE gets marred by the behemoth of the Internet and everything you have become accustomed to in Halo 2 is stripped from you? That is why it would never work.

Plus, these forums already have enough spam with kids complaining about ranks and questionable gaming practices. Leave well enough alone and wait for Halo 3 to come out. Then you can have the 2 Halo games with XBL capability you so desperately crave.

I don't think anyone cares about the night vision.

Ever played XBC? There's more lag on XBC than any game on XBL and yet the pistol still manages to function.

Want to use a vehicle to kill someone walking by it? Nope! Such lovely indestructible vehicles. Also sucks when they steal your Scorpion and and you can't do a damn thing about it.

You know, there's such a thing called grenades, you can throw these at people to kill them. If you want destructible vehicles, play Halo 2.

Fire-and-forget rockets? HAHAHA! You've been playing too much Halo 2. No targeting computer on the launcher.

The fire-and-forget rockets were a terrible addition to Halo 2. Again, if you want these features, play Halo 2.

See where evrything you love about Halo: CE gets marred by the behemoth of the Internet

Again, people have been playing Halo 1 online for years and is still way better than halo 2.

everything you have become accustomed to in Halo 2 is stripped from you? That is why it would never work.

This is the entire reason why people want Halo 2. Believe it or not, not everyone liked Halo 2 as much as you did. People have different opinions than you do. Just because you need lock on rockets and destructible vehicles, doesn't mean everyone else does.

I wasn't making a plug for Halo 2. Not my intent at all. I was going off of one of Recon's posts earlier in the thread addressing lag problems.

About that and the pistol scope: I'm pretty sure that it could function within most people's tolerances, like you say it does on XBC, but judging by some of the lag I have experienced in Halo 2 on Live, that may not be. Maybe I'm hoping it would because I just want people to shut up about this stupid idea of bringing Halo: CE to XBL when it is not feasible.

IMO, once Halo 3's been released, Bungie should work on a 360 remake of H1 complete with the H3 graphics engine, and online support. A Halo 2 remake with the H3 engine would be nice too. I know this will never happen though, and I really dont care if it does or not.

Or, you could all play Halo PC. Problem solved.

Bungie/Gearbox have already made an online version of Halo CE. It's Halo PC, so why would they ever "slap on" XBL functionality (however impossible it is), or re-do the whole game? Leave it be, and play Halo PC.

Wow, I would just like to point out that Halo PC and Halo on the Xbox are very different-Halo PC is no substitution for Combat Evolved online multiplayer. At least, it's a different experience than what it should be.

beware all posts on all topics are subject to massive trashing. thousands of idiots pwn'd and counting -Death

i dont speel chek my own posts... im not paid enough

member since day 1

Recon is right. for Halo CE to go on XBL they would ahve to rebuild the game from scratch. every line of code rewritten. it would take years to build it. plus it wouldnt be the same game. AKA h2 with all the glitches that CE doesnt have etc etc... die hards would be disapointed...but keep dreaming about playing CE on XBL cause its a nice dream

  • 02.05.2007 4:32 PM PDT

Every line of code rewritten? Give me a break. Even if that was true, it wouldn't take nearly as much time or money as creating a brand new game would take and it would generate more revenue than most games. From a business stand point it isn't a bad idea at all. So many people would buy it.

Just buy Halo PC. A decent computer with an xbox 360 controller is very similar to Halo xbox. Plus the graphics are a bit better.

could they ever release halo 1 as an XBOX LIVE ARCADE game?? and leave it strictly multiplayer?

  • 04.04.2007 9:18 PM PDT

They mostly come out at night... mostly...

I've always wondered the same thing. Even if they couldn't, why wouldn't Bungie want to remake Halo1 from scratch, only do the multiplayer side of the game, so that it could be played on xboxlive? It would be a no-risk project because everyone would buy it. So the money is in the bag and the fans would be ecstatic. /Sigh.... I think it's laziness. I don't see how it would take as much time as it would to make a new game from scratch, either. No one has to think up a new game or anything like that. The finished product is already there. They just have to write new code that translates into halo1 being playable on xboxlive. Perhaps it would take some time, but nothing like what Recon has said. And even if it did take a while, people are willing to wait. We've already waited for what seems like an eternity. Why does Bungie hate us?

For the last time, Halo PC is not a proper substitution for true Xbox Live-enabled play. Plus, the PC version doesn't have auto-aim, so you're pretty much screwed if you want to go up to mice and keyboards with a gamepad...
