Subject: Halo 2 remake.

Should 343 studios remake Halo 1 and 2 with up to date graphics, weapon systems, vehicles, weapons and enemies... plus armor customization?

Or just the graphics?

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

hmm...if they are making a re-remake, they should atleast fix my Halo 2 Vista game.

Yeah. I think they should remake things EXACTLY the way they were, except for things that would effect the game play. Character customization, graphics, and all that stuff wouldn't effect the game play much at all.

No, they shouldn't change the vehicles and weapons. If I'm buying a remake of Halo 2, I want to buy a remake of Halo 2. Not an over-glorified Reach map pack with a retelling of Halo 2's campaign.

I was going to add "or just the graphics" at the end.


Fixed :)

I'd still think that they should put all of Reach's beauty into the remake of Halo 2. What I mean by its beauty is all the customizable character options. For both Halo CE and Halo 2. It would be lovely for them to add Forge in there as well.

This. And in all honesty, if they fscked with the graphics at all or made it more "realistic" a la Reach or Halo 3, I'd be pretty pissed. Both Halo 1 and 2 have their own graphic styles that aren't bad or wrong in any way. Just high-res graphics (H2V), online matchmaking with number ranks (almost H2V), and achievements (H2V).

That's kinda what I meant by the graphics update. I'd like them to put everything in the Reach graphics, but still the same textures/models. If that makes sense.

I feel like the lighting would turn it into a whole different game. Halo and Halo 2's lighting is in now way bad, it's just not the main attraction like it is in 3 and Reach.

I think if the physics/weapons/vehicles/maps stay exactly the same then the game experience couldn't change for anything but the better. Of course, there will be people unhappy cause they didn't make it EXACTLY like the original. Those same people would also be upset if they didn't change anything cause its just the same game packaged nicely and with online play back. Most people who complain about things such as this would never actually be happy with a game until there is a new game to compare it to so that it would make THAT game look bad. I watched that happen with Halo 2, then to Halo 3, and now to Halo: Reach.

Hmm, it seems like you included me in that last bit which IS fair since I am guilty of the rest of the post. Maybe I just don't think the game is old enough for a remake/repackaging. Halo PC looks like sex even today and online is booming.

I don't know that they should change anything if they do update the game, aside from making it work better on a 360 and being able to play on live again. Anything more than that and it wouldn't feel like Halo 2.

xD I wasn't meaning to include specific people. There's just a BIG group of people who do that. Also, I've been playing Halo PC for a LONG time, since it came out, and I wouldn't really call it booming. Its still active enough to have LOADS of fun, but not really booming.

If they do that then they'd be making you pay full price for a game that they've already made. Seems like a rip off to me. Unless they made it a complete package. Make it where it has Halo: CE and Halo 2 all in one. Two separate discs with online compatibility. I'd also like them to include the PC maps from Halo PC/h2v.

If they do a remake, all they should change is upgrading graphics and adding matchmaking and achievements. And maybe give Captain Keyes better AI on Truth and Reconciliation.

All of the above

If they ever did remake it I want it exactly how it used to be, glitches and everything.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

I'd like to see Halo 2 with all the weapons. Spartan laser, assault rifle, spiker... All of it. And updated graphics. I'd rage if they changed any dialog or plot, though.

Don't really care for Halo CE, so meh...

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Just touch-up the graphics, and add XBL support for Halo CE, nothing else. Change nothing gameplay-wise, and add in nothing else. Don't take anything out, no need to mess with what's not broken. Although it'll feel weird playing a Halo 1/2 (even though it's a remake) without a Bungie logo on it.

It's not a rip off. I would pay $200 for the exact same game, just able to play on live

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

No everything should be the same. But with better graphics.

I was thinking, what if they do two modes of play? The original game, and the cut version. In the Halo essentials DVD in Halo 3 Legendary Edition, they mentioned they wrote another story that was completely different than the final product.

Also, if they could, they should add new enemies for the hell of it, Halo 2 collectors edition had a DVD which showed off an enemy, the Drinol, a throwback to Marathon, as an enemy that was cut, it would be cool to fight new baddies.

Also, in the Halo 2 files, there is a Flood enemy that never had a spawn point, what if they add one and you can fight it? And if they could, bring back Blow Me Away, that fight was one of the greatest moments in gaming. All alone, fighting in the middle of a battle, against about 8 elites and brutes, 3 Hunters, and 10 of those Drone buggers, and Master Chief had to fight while Breaking Benjamin's Blow me away was playing, that would bring back so much nostalgic memories.

But that is what I think they should do, Halo 2 needs it multiplayer back also. I hope 343 is smart and reads all of our posts!

ok my idea
give graphics of reach to it. KEEP HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER ALONE. though add forge though it shouldnt impack the other maps. mayb only hav forge on another forge world but not on any other map cause tat would take memory and nobody really forges on them other than mlg. i guess add reach's best stuff to forge too so if someone wanted tat they could. ADD NOTHING TO MUTLIPLAYER. though i do like reach's ranking though u probably wont agree wif me. i also like firefight but reach's map aint tat good

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Make Halo 2 the game it was supposed to be, bring back the cut missions (like Forerunner Tank) and the vehicles/weapons that were going to be in it.

Update graphics (obviously), bring in armour customization for Spartans and Elites, bring in Forge and Theatre (another deleted feature from H2).

Some Firefight would be quite cool, the maps (if based on campaign areas) would be badass.

And multiplayer doesn't need to be changed, it was amazing as it was. All I ask for is a Tower of Power playlist.
