In Response To: Re: Oh, fuck me. (jazo) : Would take entirely too much work I'm afraid. : Even Halo PC's netcode was pretty bad (imho). I believe it is the physics : engine alone that makes it difficult. No other Halo game has had as smooth : physics as Halo 1 did. Halo 1's physics are an insanely crude in-house solution. It's probably difficult to optimize over a network, but it's a 2001 game with very little going on compared with newer titles. I don't want to completely trivialize the situation, as networking it well would require reconstructing parts of the engine on the MP side, but it most likely wouldn't be astronomical by any means. Alternatively, they could just use the pre-existing Halo PC networking model and allow people to host community servers like they do in Halo PC. This would not be ideal, but which would most certainly not "take entirely too much work." Alternatively, they could just enable XBC-style connectivity on the standard LAN networking model and just not care about the lag, which would suck but which would also take no work at all.
