Though the keenest gamers will find the Xbox LIVE network available on Windows Phone 7 to be a masterstroke of mobile technology, less dedicated gamers could easily find what is there at present a little underwhelming. The ability to check your GamerTag, message people on your Friends List, earn Achievements and compare them with friends are incorrigible, but far from groundbreaking on device that once upon a time was designed purely for communication. Online play is what gamers crave on their portable devices, and while it is bound to happen, at present no software supports networked games. Instead, it’s going to be the functionality of new apps that prove Windows Phone 7’s credentials as a gaming machine, and thankfully it’s off to a good start.

The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Splitgate, a self-proclaimed “Halo meets Portal'' game, is the latest newcomer to challenge Halo.
Ranking the Halo games from worst to best - which game is the best ever in this iconic series?
Halo 3 was the epitome of the Saga.
Followed by Halo Reach, Halo 2, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo 5 and ODST.
For the time, I still think the first Halo was the most influential for me. Agreed that 2 & 3 were better games but that first Halo was fresh and new and I still remember getting into my first Warthog. And the Halo LAN parties. Good times...
For me, it will always be Halo 1. Groundbreaking in every way. Graphically, audibly, technically and gameplay wise. Any Halo thereafter never did it for me. They weren't horrible but they did not hold the precious nuggets of consistent "did you see that?!!" moments that 1 held for me. I played Halo for the single player game although the MP was great, the single player is what hit home for me. So when they released part 2 and hyped up the single player game I was severely disappointed when I got it day one and came home and beat the single player in about 3.5-4 hours. I remember being completely let down.
Halo 2 has the longest campaign of all the Halo games so I'm not sure how you possibly beat it in 4 hours your first playthrough.
I think you need to do some research. Halo 2 does not have the longest campaign by any stretch of the imagination. I picked up the game at a midnight launch brought it home at 1am, popped it in and beat it by the time I had to leave for work the next morning which was 5:30am. My employees at the time had also done the same and we were all pissed when that infamous "Finish the Fight" scene played out and we realized the game was over. The length was one gripe but the nerfing of the pistol as well as the plasma pistol was just wrong. The staff I had at the time were all Halo fans and we all played the original SP and MP religiously. The SP was played mostly on Legendary but when we picked up part 2 we all stuck with the normal difficulty which I think might've been our mistake, we blew through the game like I said in roughly 4 hours.
You and your friends truly are the exception because it took me about 9-10 hours my first play through. Also, if you look up the average play time for Halo 2 it's 8-9 1/2 hours. If you speed run it takes about 4 1/2 which seems silly to do especially someones first play through. Did you play Halo 3 or any other Halo games after that because Halo 2 has one of the longer story modes. Of course they nerfed the Halo 1 pistol lol. I loved that gun too, but it was OP af. Go play Halo 1 multiplayer now in MCC and all everyone uses is the pistol and it just doesn't hold up well because of it and other issues. Halo 2/3 multiplayer hold up phenomenally to this day.
I prefer H5 for gameplay going back to the old ones is slow and cumbersome , sure the story was better in the old games .
I think halo 3 tops it for me. Can't really think of another game that made so many innovations in one installment. With theater mode, forge mode, 4 player co-op campaign. The replayability with the skulls and unlockable armor. It really felt like a next gen game at the time.
