Halo 2 was rushed. It has problems, and some of the animations don't look very good anymore, but I disagree with you that it needs to be remade.
In fact, I would even argue that Halo 2 was, and still is, the best Halo campaign. The campaign almost feels like a movie with the way it opened up the inner workings of the Covenant and introduced the Gravemind. The missions are hugely varied, and it is the game where the Brutes live up to their name the best. The flood is all consuming, and the characters all fit into their niches much better than the later games (Truth in Halo 2 vs. Truth in Halo 3). Also, the lack of mission barriers was not a problem. The vacations added a large amount of replay value to the game.
That said, it would be awesome to play the forerunner tank mission...
You don't feel that because the story was that good it deserves an update?
I agree that Halo 2 was the more "true" Halo game, especially when looking at Truth and the Brutes, as well as looking into the Covenant perspective, in fact that's why I believe it needs a remake.
When compared to Halo 3, Halo 2 is way more true and essential to the story. It could be seen as the 2nd act, the meat of a production. I don't feel it's fair Halo 3 has the better cinematic animations, art, fluency, etc over Halo 2. More time was put into 3, then 2, even though as you've said you believe 2 has the better story.
I agree it's a better story, but because it's great, I believe it deserves a remake. I don't think it's fair games like Halo 3 and Reach out do Halo 2, when Halo 2 really is the meat and potatoes of the Halo trilogy.
I mean, I understand don't fix what isn't broken, it just feels wrong as a big fan of Halo 2.
You make a compelling argument, but I am terrified of what might happen if it is remade by a different studio. (I have the same fears about the studio remaking CE) It would be awesome to see Halo 2 in HD, with less glitches and oddities, but if done incorrectly it could be broken beyond repair.
I would also do what they did with Halo CE and wait until 10 years after the original release, then it will make more sense to remake it. Or they could wait until 10 years after Halo 3 and remake the whole trilogy.
True... another studio could ruin it. I mean, we've seen what other studios do to it. Knowing me, I'd buy it anyway... I'm a bit of a Halo zealot... well sort of. But I wouldn't "enjoy" it if they ruined it.
If that's the case though then I guess it'll really depend on this CE remake.
If the CE remake is true to the series making the experience better than the original, then I'd fully welcome a Halo 2 remake. If not... well then I suppose it's best it's not remade.
I hope the CE team 343 is watching over (as well as 343 in general) knows that this is their first impression as far as games go, and if they ruin this they'll destroy our dependence in them. This is essentially their moment to say "Have no fear, see what we can do." and if what they can do is not enough, then I suppose the remake of 2 wouldn't be worth it
