So here's what I mean.

Halo 2 is currently an original Xbox game, running on the older version of Xbox live which everyone now knows is shutting down sometime today.

What if Microsoft, 343 Industries, or Bungie (or all of them) decided to "remake" Halo 2 for the 360? Perhaps as a "Games on demand" download. It would run on the current version of Xbox live, and would thus be compatible with current online play. All the maps would be included as well

Other features are not required, but would be welcome. Such as:

-Achievements

-Upgraded graphics

-Online co-op

And any others that you may want in the game.

So there's the question. Sign your Gamertag or B.net name, and enter the poll. Maybe we can draw up an official petition and send it to Microsoft, essentially promising them millions of dollars if they bring Halo 2 back in all its glory.

I understand why you think that.

But there's always hope that M$ will be attracted to the promise of more money

(Bungie > 343i)

I'd definitely get it; as for updated graphics I'd say something along the lines of Halo 2 Vista, not a complete engine revamp.

  • 04.15.2010 10:22 AM PDT

I'd buy it again as it is if it meant we could play on Live again. HD res would be a bonus.

  • 04.15.2010 10:23 AM PDT

If they did a Valve style orange box for the Halo series then I'd buy it in a heart beat, but I'm not sure they'd want to do it.

Halo 2 was already ported.

It's on Games for Windows.

Sure but I'd want it to be between twenty and thirty dollars. I wouldn't pay more than fourty for it unless it came with an HD remastered version of Halo 1 as well.

My GT is actually lockepyker - somehow I got linked with my g/f's tag...so that should answer your first question.
Since you're here, take time to visit my file share. I mean, I have beach grifball in there - and you know you want some of that . Thanks!
See you in the rumble pit!

Only if they add achievements - like they should have done for Halo CE...

He probably thinks that the PC version is enough. Not everyone has a PC capable of running games. The xbox is less of a hassle.
I'll second your statement though.

"So??"

Really, you guys? You can buy a PC that costs as much as an Xbox and run Halo 2. It's the future, baby.

Why would we want to buy a PC to run the game when we already have an Xbox 360?

Besides, a 360 is $200+ You can get a netbook for around that price, but can you get a gaming PC?

Buying it on the 360 is a better deal and MS would know that. More people would buy it there. Anyone else would have already bought it on the PC

I'd rather pay for a revamped Halo CE that allows xbox live multiplayer myself...

Your toast has been burned! And NO amount of scraping will remove the black parts!!.

-Achievements

-Upgraded graphics

-Online co-op



Achievements wouldn't be hard to add, they've got 'em for Marathon for cryin' out loud. But the other two are not really doable, as I understand things. But that doesn't really matter, I'd buy it again if we could get achievements and keep LIVE support.

I can respect that. I love CE as well. But we could never play CE over Live...So nothing's been taken away from us in that respect.

I'd love BOTH to have online play. Options are good.

But now when someone says "I miss (insert Halo 2 thing here)" no one can say "Well...go play Halo 2 then!!"
Same can be said for Halo CE, I suppose

Yeah, Achievements would definitely be more desired. The others aren't important.
Though I'd buy it even if they didn't have achievements.

I don't want to join your group.

Depends on how many people were playing it. If matchmaking was empty anyway, then I might as well stick with my old copy.

Now if this were done for Combat Evolved? Sign me up. Rite nao!

I have no doubt in my mind that millions of people would buy it. Especially if it was priced at $20 or so.
Matchmaking would be smooth. If I can find a game for Aegis Wing, I think Halo 2 will manage ;)

  • 04.15.2010 11:23 AM PDT

Yes. I'd buy it if it had live capability. I'd really appreciate it if they added live co-op to the port, but I doubt a port will happen anyway.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

If they fixed all the glitches including but not limited to Superbouncing, BXB, and BXR, aswell as rehaul the gameplay by getting rid of SMG starts, bringing back the Assault Rifle, and having all weapons reset on a timer like Halo 3, then yes I would rebuy it.

Yes you can, all they have to do is gut out the old netcode and rebuild a new netcode from scratch with Xbox Live support. They do that with the Xbox Live Arcade all the time.

I'm sorry, I must have worded that wrong. I mean that CE didn't ship with LIVE support like Halo 2 did.

No thought required, just spawn and GOOOOOOOOOOO

Posted by: Chevyracer540
Yes, and no because we wouldnt be able to go in game chat because people would be in the party system talking to their friends. But yes i would buy it if they did what MW2 does where you cant play the gametype if your in party chat


no no no no NO!
