They remade Midship and Lockout because the fans wanted them. The reason they refuse to remake Coagulaion is that, in their minds, they already did with Valhalla.


Lockouts reincarnation to Blackout is questionable. To say it's an exact remake is a lie..
Blackout is EXACTLY the same exept for the looks.


No it's not.

I was going to try and find a comparison of the two on the Internet, but I can't find any. They're different though. One example being that you can't shoot from the top of BR3 (The tall tower) to the room underneath the Sniper Spawn. I also believe that there are a number of jumps that cannot be performed in Blackout that could be performed in Lockout.

CE never had multiplayer.. The PC version still has servers running by players.
And I would wait until you get an official word from Bungie about this. I'm not sure they'll do that...

look at halo forum and you'll see

Don't believe everything you see on the internet....
Then I fail to believe you. Halo 2 was and still is an amazing shooter. There's nothing like the classics. If they let it die, I'll lose some of the tremendous respect I have for Bungie as a company.

"HE CAN'T BE STOPPED!!! IT ONLY MAKES HIM STRONGER!!!"
A great quote from every great action movie ever... EVER!

I'm sorry sir but, Halo 2 is done, if you are still playing Halo 2 you need to move on. It was a great game, but so was Ocarina of Time and we're not still playing that anymore are we? please say no...

Remake? Yes.

Exact remake? No.

Lockout didn`t have the BR1 to BR 2 jump. Underneath the central platform, part of the structure was shifted, which prevented a huge long line of sight. In Halo 3, there`s a huge long line of sight there. Also, Library window has been closed off.

Again, "It's old" isn't a valid argument. If people enjoy it, they should be allowed to play it.

Any more recycled comments?

And what about those who prefer Halo 2 over Halo 3? Heck, there are still people who are willing to play Halo 1 over them both. It's a matter of personal preference, and Microsoft are taking that away from us. I have never, ever seen a games company do this to anyone. Why should Microsoft get away with it?

I totally agree with Honorable Elite, Halo 2 was awsome and still has an vintage Xbox Live MP. It can't 'really be that bad if people are still playin it today.

  • 08.14.2009 10:32 AM PDT

Damn! Hey i want then terminal , relic , coagulation , headlong , waterworks , all in Halo 3. I mean i miss that train in terminal. Longshore can't replace Headlong.

  • 08.14.2009 10:33 AM PDT

I liked halo 2 too, but, gotta make room for the new stuff.

This looks pretty legit. Could be fake, but it makes sense.


So... they're going to prevent people from playing Halo 2 because... people are /that/ upset by the 100 friend cap limit? O.o I fail to see any logic in that. And what about other original Xbox games?

  • 08.14.2009 10:35 AM PDT

also i dont understand when Microsoft says Halo players got to halo games, halo ODST and Halo 3, Halo ODST firefight doesnt have matchmaking! if it did then maybe. also it got same multiplayer as Halo 3.

  • 08.14.2009 10:35 AM PDT

Photographers are sexy.

I would be surprised if they shut down the H2 servers, but then again, it's Microsoft.

My only reasoning to this is that Halo 3: ODST Doesn't really have multiplayer except for firefight. What it comes with is indeed, Halo 3's multiplayer. So Basically we have CoD. There is CoD 4, CoD WaW's main multiplayer, and the -blam!- Zombie game mode, totaled to '2.5'. And There is Halo 2, Halo 3, and Firefight, once again, 2.5. It would be like Microsoft shutting down CoD 3's servers if -blam!- Zombies had been sold with the next game, which didn't have multiplayer.

In other word, Microsoft shouldn't really shut down Halo 2 because of firefight, which is only like half of Halo 2's worth.

Halo 1 never had multiplayer, and Halo 2 has been running for almost 5 years with a successor overtaking it now, there's no need for it to be running anymore.


halo 1 had multiplayer, what is wrong with you, why do you think cold storage is now is halo 3, its a remake of a halo 1 map

  • 08.14.2009 11:00 AM PDT

Halo CE had system link. No Xbox Live ever for it.

That makes no sense. Halo 3's MP and ODST's MP are the same. Therefore, there will still only be 2 Halo titles on LIVE.

Also, Halo CE's multiplayer >>>>>>>>>> Halo 2's multiplayer.
Ya that's what i was thinking but maybe they are just shutting her down because it's time

Yep. Achronos and Jonnyothan said the whole thing was bull and neither source even talked to Microsoft or Bungie.
