I don't think you understand.
HALO 1 HAD NO NETCODE. The PC version did, sure, but that's Gearbox's property last I remember and they trashed all their Halo stuff.

Of course Halo 1 had to have netcode. System link. It just didn't support the XBL protocol integration.
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
yeah exactly, and either way HA10 is incorporating REACH multiplayer so if it came to the PC then it would have... REACH multiplayer.
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
That would require porting two separate engines, however. At least that's how I understand it all so far. It's the biggest reason that I see a PC port of the whole game as being unlikely.
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
Wouldn't need to port two separate engines. MS won't make that mistake again.

I don't think you understand. H1 Xbox had it's own netcode. It wasn't very robust netcode (required all players to start at the same time, to keep in sync with the simulation), but it was netcode nonetheless. MS hired Gearbox to port Halo. MS still owns that work. As for Gearbox's networking code, they had to add an additional layer that allowed for players to join and drop mid-game without causing the entire game to end (plus add support for chat, rcon, etc, all PC related stuff).
Also, fuck punkbuster.

The Kinect enabled features sound cool and all, but it's really fucking gay that you can't use the Library without it. Especially since there's no way in hell I'm ever going to buy one.
