In Response To: Re: Why i wont be buying HCEA *article* (Cody Miller) : It's not just a question of price, but of quality. A straight up port will be : of identical quality, and therefore get the same score in a review, as the : original. What they've done here is removed a large part of the original : game, and added some superficial stuff plus online co-op. Any way you look : at it, this port is worse than the original, and there's really no good : excuse as to why. One possible excuse: you can't do a direct port that supports standardized Xbox Live, including trueskill. I think (but can't confirm) that there are a set of mandatory Xbox Live rules to ensure a baseline experience in adversarial matchmaking, and if the H:CEA can't support those, then no dice. AFAIK every old platform game that's on Xbox w/ adversarial matchmaking is a remake, not a port. I could be wrong.
