Since OG Xbox games are going to get a whole lot more popular, I don't know why they don't just switch Live back on.

Yes I'm aware it's not as simple as that, but what's the point in doing all this for half a product. Then they can work on Chaos Theory.

Excuse my ignorance... has Live ever been switched off entirely? It was my understanding that they stopped support on a game-by-game basis when demand for online aspects fizzled out.

Xbox Live on the OG Xbox was discontinued back in 2010. None of the games have any kind of online capability.

Oh.. I just guessed things were switched-off on a game by game basis, but it makes sense the OG Live service would have had to be switched off entirely at some stage.

BACK-COMPAT BLOWOUT

The Xbox One’s list of backward compatible titles has grown by leaps and bounds since the initial wave of games came out in 2015, with nearly three hundred Xbox 360 titles currently supported. Today we’re thrilled to announce four more very special additions coming later this year to the Xbox One back-compat program: Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, and Halo: CE Anniversary!

Image

Each of these games will include campaign and multiplayer, and will even support LAN play on Xbox One – including LAN play between Xbox One and Xbox 360! Once released, you’ll be able to pop in your original disc or purchase a digital copy of the game via the Xbox Store and jump right in.

Best of all, once these titles are added to the program, every Xbox 360 Halo add-on map pack in the Xbox Store will be made available for free, ensuring you have everything you need to achieve maximum enjoyment in online matchmaking or custom games. We know this is something you’ve been asking for, and we’re excited to make these map packs available for all players.

We’ll have more details on the release timing soon but in the meantime, join us at RTX Austin 2017 for an exclusive hands-on preview with Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST running on Xbox One!

Outstanding. Back compat is a fantastic feature on the One, great that they're still supporting it well.

Would rather they spent their time on games that weren't already available on the console in one way or the other... :shifty: Surely anyone who wanted to play the Halo's would have bought the Master Chief Collection one of the times it's been available for pennies?

These 360 versions actually work though.

The Master Chief Collection worked eventually.

Although I'm only one level into ODST so I can't vouch for all of it.

It all works, makes back compat a little pointless.

Can't under estimate how good Halo 3's campaign is at 60fps.

I can't imagine many Halo fans don't already own the Master Chief Collection on Xbone. I hate Halo games and even I own a digital copy of it. :lol:
