Halo 2 for Life!

XBA = Xbox America?

do you mean XBL?

Yeah I agree Halo 2 needs to come back! It is not a question of will it but a question of when, as Halo 2 is a very well constructed game that is unique in the Halo video games. To me it's the best game in history but I'm aware not everyone has this view.

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.

It's wishful thinking and besides even if they do remake it, it won't feel the same. They"ll probably take out the bugs, superbounces, etc, and try to re-balance weapons in the game. The multiplayer bugs and superbounces made playing halo 2 multi player fun, they expanded the game.

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

If a remake was announced, it would turn into the CE forum.

"BAAW IT WILL SUCK"

It will be better then the original though, since h2 was meh.

yea xbox live arcade, and i was wondering what if they just re-launched halo 2's live capabilities? instead of re-releasing,or remaking. just put it back online. would it not be easier, cheaper, and less risky for MS? then we would get our jumps, gameplay feel, and just get back to the fun that halo 2 really was. im unsure if its cost effective, but just an idea,

If it was, they would have kept all xbox 1 games online.

Keep in mind, all (dead) xbox 1 games were shut down. None are up anymore.

true, but it was simply an idea, i thought it be cheaper to do that then go through the process of a remake

It wouldn't be. Most of the xbox 1 servers are down. Only the title update servers are still up, and that's because they are shared with GFWL and 360.

Its likely with the rumors about Halo 1 being remade

If they redesigned the multiplayer but kept the escence of the original i think it would be better than a straight remake. Why buy what you already own?

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I don't want a remake. People will just complain about the changes. Just give us an HD port, by retail or download, I don't care.

  • 02.07.2011 8:16 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

If I had to I would accept a remake although I wish for what you said to be a reality over a remake.

Agreed, just HD port for Halo 2 and i'm set. Please Bungie, as one final gift being back our childhood

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

I would love a direct port but for it to have any success, or be worth any company's time, it would need new features.

Things like the weapon spawn system and player spawn system might need some revisions, theater would need to be added, and possibly a map editor. The map editor wouldn't need to be on the same scale as Forge, but the ability to alter weapon spawns/scenery might be enough.

Things like button glitches would need to be much more accessible to counter modded controllers and be more casual-friendly. In other words, they need to be made part of the game. Instead of the BXR looking like a glitch, they could add a new animation to make it a quick melee (with the exact same effect). Nade reloading should probably be removed and Double Shot would need some revisions ( :[ )

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I would. Halo 2 had the best online multiplayer.

Halo 2 for Life!

This reminds me that should just ask for backward compadibility with the new system for halo2 as a remake that you suggest might not help but hurt the best game in history.

Just like the things that got removed from halo2 because it didn't meet the standards in the time given, the additions would help make the game worse and not better. Look at H3 and all the things that they added that made the game worse than it should have been.

I do! Only got to play it for a couple of months before the servers got shut down...;-(

In my opinion Halo 2 would be more suitable for a HD remake, I just think that 343 will tamper with Combat Evolved too much by adding Xbox Live multiplayer, ranking and such...

Either way I will be happy
