: Firstly, porting the existing games to the XBOX would not be a trivial

: to run on the XBOX - perhaps the AO SDL version would work, but there

: definition TV is no match for the modern computer display. That's
: undoubtedly one of the reasons the Halo port to the Mac is so damn slow -
: the resolution is, what, 4 times greater or more? M1A1 already beats
: anything you could get on an XBOX.

I wasn't thinking of a mere "port" of M1 to the Xbox. If this was the point I totally agree that M1A1 is unbeatable, and everybody knows how much I love M1A1. But after (finally!) having palyed Halo on the Xbox I was daydreaming about a "M104" playable in the same way, wich you will agree is different from the way you play Marathon. Just imagine some changes from the 1st person wiew to the 3rd person view, or introducing the use of vehicles. Not to mention the improved Pfhor AIs. And at this point, having the Halo engine up and running, I think it would be no such a great effort for Bungie to release M104. They'd just have to design the scenario!
