I thought it was a pretty cool update. I lost my copy of Halo:CE about 2 years ago. So I thought it was pretty cool that they put it up for download. Now I can play Halo 3, and if I get bored I can just switch to the dashboard and load up Halo 1. Pretty cool. I think for them to add online functionality they would have to completely re-wire all the coding in multiplayer, as well as purchasing servers to support all the players. I think Bungie probably thinks it is more important to work on new projects rather than focusing on a "dead" game from an outdated console. I can't blame them for that. I would rather play Halo 1 with online functionality over Halo 3 any day, but asking for Halo 1 to be given online functionality is almost like asking for Goldeneye 64 to be given online functionality. It's just not gonna happen. But as for Halo: CE being up for download, I thought that was great. It's really convenient to be able to get the best game ever made for 12 dollars, and not have to worry about losing it or getting the disc scratched.
