like almost 50% of all the fans, you know that Halo 2 was the best game from the Halo franchise.

Dear Bungie,

the halo 2 maps wouldnt work on reach due to the spartans speed/jump height etc etc etc, plus not only that but people would complain that it wasnt identical to the map, which it wont be because the graffics are different, the technology is different so you wouldnt have the same feel, but yes i think opening the servers would be good because ive never actually played halo 2.

I would love to have the all classic Halo 2 map lineup back...but it wouldn't work well within the gameplay of Reach. See: even with Halo 3, which was slightly different from H2 the maps didn't feel right anymore. The changes from H2 to Reach are even bigger. Even if it got a playlist of its own with gameplay tweaked to mimic H2's it would still feel different. It would still feel awkward and we would complain about how bad it it.

So we have 2 options:
1: Play Halo 2 Vista which also has additional maps. Downside is the community is low etc.

Or:
2: 343i should remake the Halo 2 multiplayer suite, rework its graphics, keep gameplay 100% intact. Maybe add some stuff like the Armory (preferably extended from Reach' Armory. IE: more options!) and theater. Forget about Forge.
Then release this as a standalone XBLA game for 1200 MSP max.
Low cost: lots of people playing (most likely) and H2 back in a new fresh graphical jacket.

I would love to have 343i go for the latter option, or to have the H2 multiplayer remake replace the multiplayer of Halo CE in the supposed Remake of that game.
