No net play for Halo!
Community guy for Bungie, Matt Soell, responded to a thread today on halo.bungie.org regarding the internet play for the XBOX version of Halo. Heres the lowdown straight from Matt himself.
Unfortunately its not possible for us to code support for internet play without more info than we have now. So Xbox Halo wont magically work over the internet when MS gets their networking stuff up. I dont think a patch will happen either.To check out the rest of the threads and speak out click here.A separate product is a possibility, but as things stand right now there is no definite plan for such a product. The team gets to decide what they work on next, but they wont make that decision until Halo is done.
I should make clear that Im talking specifically about the Xbox version of Halo here.
