Halo Live!!!
 
HALO DELUXE - MICROSOFT'S SECRET WEAPON FOR CHRISTMAS?
Speculation over a major announcement which Microsoft has pledged to
make on November 15th, the second anniversary of the Xbox launch
date, points to the launch of a new version of Halo with Xbox Live
support.

It would be so good if it was true!

But it does definitely sound like it's too good to be true, though :(

Oh well. We'll know in a couple of days.

Hmm. True. Bungie would be v busy with Halo2, but they could concentrate on working on that, while Valve (who did the PC version - which is online) could maybe work on "upgrading" the XBox Halo1.

An online Halo1 would be a massive seller & would probably kill-off XBC. They could release an online & multiplayer only budget version, & I'm sure loads of people would buy it if they did. And it wouldn't impact negatively on Halo2 sales, as that's not out for 6 months or so.

Still sounds too good to be true though :(

It would be good if it happened, but I wouldn't expect it to happen, there have been rumours since live beta about a remake or addon to Halo, making it live.

Maybe the surprise is that they could have made a live addon all this time and they have and it will be the first one they charge you for downloading. Or maybe its aother rumour blown out of proportion by halo fans who are too impatient to wait for Halo 2 :rolleyes:.

Plenty of lag too from my experience! :D Think I'd sooner go out and buy the PC version and pray that it actually works on my PC.

Apparently you haven't heard some of the complaints about how much a hog this port has become on the PC. Some ppl have had trouble on very high-end PCs.

Most people who have been suffering problems with Halo PC are those running the Latest Graphics Cards, FX series & Radeon 9XXX.
Im running it on my GF4 and getting much higher frames than people with higher processors and better G Cards.

Now if I was trying to find away that they are both true I'd say that they were hoping for a misunderstanding so ppl rule it out, when they actually stated the truth that its halo with the upgrades the pc and mac got. Or it could all be wrong and nothing is happening at all.
