With online multiplayer?

I don't really think it would be that hard, considering xbconnect and xlink kai can do it...as a free service.

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

They would have to port it, and porting costs money. If they made a retail remake which is much different, it would sell far more.

Since only 5 people still care about h2, they won't do it. Get the PC port if you want xbl online multiplayer.

Another one of the 5 who is in denial. Truth is, no one cares. If they did, they would have not shut it down.

Its shame that the Ninja's don't come here, someone deserves to have his "Honorable" Title removed.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

There's not much attention into wanting Halo 2 remade.

You'd have to go with the System link tunneling service or the PC version.

indeed he does, one of the biggest troll, and he only lurks here, never once have i seen him on reachs or anythin else really, plenty of people would buy it, and they wouldnt keep xbl on original servers for just one game, it cut greatly into their costs to keep it up which is understandable

and i love how he says that there are 5 of us like it is an absolute fact, trolls make me lols

I've fought mudcrabs more fierce than you!

Do you have any idea how complex porting a game is? It's not like rightclicking halo 2 and then hitting 'convert to 360.' Btw dude you could probably get halo2 on disc for like $10.00 now, works fine on 360.

also you would need servers, which cost money to run. I don't think bungie has plans to re-open online servers in the future, (sad face) but you can always play halo 2 in it's traditional sense: duct tape, ethernet cable, xbox consoles, tv's, friends, pizza, throwing controller at friend, epic 3 hour blood gulch ctf games!!!! lol

I go to the reach forum and Halo PC forum.

And obviously you missed the point too. Halo 2 is dead, most people stopped caring in 2007 (and more in 2010), which only leaves around 5 or 6 people stuck in 2004.

There is a good chance a port or a remake will happen, the question is when.
Not going to happen this year, and probaly not the next, but who knows.
There is indeed money to be made from this, just look at all the other ports/remakes.

Then the fans will get tired of rehashes of rehashes. Look at SqEnix, The Halo fandumb wants bungie to be like that.

SqEnix: HEY DUDEZZZ, LETS REMAKE FINAL FANTASY WHATEVAH YEAR AFTER YEAR!!! ITZ FROM 1995, AND IZ ON EVERY CONSOLE NAO, BUT IT NEEDZ MORE RELEASES!

Or Sega, where they rerelease genesis games 40 times a week (no seriously)

Im not really sure what you are getting at.
Bungie haven't remade any previous Halo games. It would make a lot of sense to bring back the old Xbox's most popular game(and Halo:CE too for that matter), with online play and online coop, and achievments.
People won't complain about that, but they may complain if there are changes that they don't like.

Also this post is quite interesting:

Not saying much, but it is still very exciting to see what will be announced.

You know it does nothing. It did nothing in Halo 3-1, you just did not notice it. Go on Halo 3 and rapid fire at a wall and the bullets get more random. Don't try to deny it. I've shot real guns, I should know.

I have thought of this, I'd pay 1600 pts easily just for online multiplayer.

Guys, JacobGRocks is right. It would cost Bungie too much money to port Halo 2 and re-enable Xbox Live, Halo 2's time has come and gone. Do you really want Bungie to spend time and money remaking a game from 2004, or would you rather have them work on something new and amazing? Seriously, I miss Halo 2 as well, but we all just need to move on, we still have our memories to look back on.

Yep. It's just like when someone important in your life dies. It doesn't matter how hard you beg it's never going to come back. Everything has to end. All we can look to is the future.

It's probaly not Bungie whould be behind a remake, it could be 343 studious or that rumored Saber team.
I would rather want Bungie to work on something new, because it's obvious they need a looong break from Halo.

That said, i'd stil love to get a remake of Halo:CE and Halo 2 with online MP/COOP. Of course it's not going to be the same as before, but those games are amzing and well worth a remake on the 360.
