1 Is Halo 2 still in stores?


Depends on the store.

2 If so, it has been remade or it´s original?

It has not been remade. It has, however, been ported to Vista.

3 If its a remade, it can be played on the 360?

The original Halo 2 can be played on the 360.

4 It is on HD?

The console version of the game is limited to 480 lines of resolution. If you're outputting over composite cable, that means 480i. If you're outputting over component cables or HDMI, that generally means 480p.

Halo 2 Vista can be rendered at higher resolutions though.

5 There are different versions (e.j. Pc)?

As mentioned, Halo 2 Vista.

6 Is there any way to play online?

Halo 2 Vista has online service.

If you're using a console version, the best you can do is use a tunnelling service. Or, better, get a LAN party going because that's way more awesome than online play anyway.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

6) You can play halo 2 online either through the pc version or through the xbox version. The xbox version works just fine on the 360. To play online you do it through an online system link program, either xlink kai or xbox connect "both are free". People still host matches, and you can play with other people but just know some people hosts modded matches.

Halo 2 for Life!

1. Yes! You can buy it online or through many stores.
2. remade? I guess PC was a remake... The Console version are original.
3. No. You can play the original online though but only if your good with routers and know how to connect to Xlink Kai or XBC.
4. No HD.
5. Yes, PC.
6. Yes, PC, Xlink kai or XBC but all of these options are not like XBL so dont expect it to be a ton of fun like it was on XBL lol (although some disagree most agree that the XBL online version of halo2 was the best gameing experince ever! lol).

If you lost the game, its probably best just to wait a few years or maybe more for H2 to be re-released and than it will most likely be back on XBL.

That's wishful thinking. I could see it being made available for download from XBL (like CE is), but I doubt it will be playable in XBL. I really hope I'm wrong (if it comes back ro XBL I'll never play the other Halos anymore) but unfortunately I don't think I am wrong.

Other than that, all the answers so far are correct.

Halo 2 for Life!

Here is my reasoning. Microsoft will not make alot of money re-releasing H2 unless its online enabled. It goes from people willing to to pay 10-30 dollars (for somthing they most likely already have) to paying 60-90 dollars (for me even more, in the 100 - 1000 dollar range lol) for a online H2 game (with all other halos included with online game play added as a bonus lol, na stand alone I think most would pay around 60 with online enabled over XBL).

The likelyhood they dont see this profit making venture is probably high (as they even said they aren't thinking about it right now) but I'm hopeful one of the Microsoft people see the possibilites of having H2 on XBL again (as it is the best game in existence).

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

1 Is Halo 2 still in stores?
Probably not, unless there is a used copy at a Gamestop. You can always buy it on the internet for very cheap, though.

2 If so, it has been remade or it´s original?
It has not been remade

3 If its a remade, it can be played on the 360?
Halo 2 is 360 compatible, but you can not play multiplayer via Xbox live.

4 It is on HD?
NO

5 There are different versions (e.j. Pc)?
Yes, there is Halo 2 PC, and it has multiplayer! It's awesome!

6 Is there any way to play online?
There are a few ways, actually. If you have a decent enough computer, you can play multiplayer. You need Windows Vista or Windows 7 to play Halo 2 PC. (There may be a mac version, I'm not sure.)
Also, there is something call Xbox Connect. You can play multiplayer if you download XBC to your computer. Check out this thread for more information.

The Past Is For Reference Not For Residents

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Please answer, I miss so much that game but I lost it.

1. Most stores stopped selling Xbox Originals a long time ago. Look on ebay.

2. There has been no remake, and 1 PC port.

3. If you have a 360 with an HDD, then it's backwards compatable. If you have a 4gb 360s, or an arcade/core model, then it won't work.

4. Depends on your system. On the 360, it's upscaled to 1080p. On the xbox 1, it only goes up to 480p. And on PC, it can go to any resolution.

5. There is a PC port, which still has online via GFWL (xbox live for PC), so you will get gamerscore.

6. The PC port is still online. The Xbox version got shut along with original live on April 15th. You can use a lan tunneler like Xlink Kai or XBC, but expect lag, and n00bs with only stock maps and hackers.
