I am one of the many people who are very for this idea, do you want this to happen? If so, what features would you like to see? Do you wany campaign only, multiplayer only or both? (Only doing one would make it simpler for the makers and therefore hopefully more likely to happen)

I know original xbox live is down but many marketplace games have their own online such as "Blacklight Tango Down". Why cant they do that for Halo 2?

Maybe they could have the halo 2 multiplayer as a game for download or just a download titled "halo 2 multiplayer support" that gave a multiplayer server for halo 2 and with that people could play multiplayer through the disks.

I dont see why Microsoft would think that they wouldnt make money off this, Halo 2 was the best selling xbox original game ever, it sold 8 million and in second place was halo ce with 5 million.

I will be updating this thread with good ideas from posters and myself.

Please give your feedback, positive or negative but please dont troll.

Death to rank junkies.

I've been thinking about getting Halo 2 for the Xbox (played it on PC) just for the campaign (my PC is crap). It would be awesome if it was put on the marketplace.

I recommend you buy it, its probably around ten bucks now and nothing beats xbox gameplay, and it's always fun to have your friends over every once in a while to play some halo 2.

They could just make it MP-only.

There should be a demo of Campaign and multiplayer (select few maps, or just Coagulation), and Halo 2 for Xbox should be on Games on Demand.

The demo of Campaign should be the same as Halo 2 Vista, except Heretic should not be counted in the level limit. So it should have Armory, Cairo Station, and Outskirts.

That way, players can experience vehicle combat, Hunters, and Drones, not just basic gameplay. I noticed that the CoD Black Ops demo has a save feature. That should be included too.

I was thinking the same thing since campaign can still be played on the disk. Maybe they could have the halo 2 multiplayer as a game for download or just a download titled "halo 2 multiplayer support" that gave a multiplayer server for halo 2 and with that people could play multiplayer through the disks.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Well this is the Halo 2 Forum what else do you expect?

Just give it time man, you never know what can happen.

Time is the fire in which we burn. Maybe someday it will come back...maybe it won't.

I was thinking an Xbox and Halo 2 equivalent of Halo: Custom Edition.

What could be done is that the trial version would feature a few maps (let's say three) - in what would hypothetically be an unranked Slayer/Objective playlist (Team Training) just to add more incentive to those who wish to test the magic, and obviously the full version would give you everything.

Team slayer on midship or turf, ctf on containment or coag, and ffa on warlock would be good.

i say they re-release halo 1 and 2 as a bundle. they could revamp all of the multiplayer so they are matchmaking capable and have both campaigns. i'd pay a good chunk o' change for that.

yes, multiplayer...but only if it's free.

I left for 2 hours and saw 21 no's on both this poll and one other.... I have a feeling this is no longer a legitimate poll considering the vote number doubled in the last 2 hours and this poll has been up for about 2 days.

Well as the free version would be for one playlist and presumably it would be a 4v4 playlist simply for the convenience of matchmaking speed they would go for smaller maps.

Such as Lockout, Midship and Sanctuary.

Though with those probably being the most popular small maps in Halo 2 I doubt they would play all their aces if they went that route.

Which they never would of course, but I'm just hypothesising the dream baby!

it would be good if they did, with xbox live capability, map packs and achievements.

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

I suspect the only reason it's not on the marketplace while CE, 3, and Reach are; is because they do have some plan for it, just nothing official. It would likely be released during a slow time for Microsoft. When Halo 2 went down in April they were riding towards the release of Reach so it would be a bad move to release Halo 2 in the five months prior. They expected Reach to remain strong until Gears of War 3 I'm sure, and even though it didn't they aren't really in the rough right now. Probably some time after Gears 3 we might hear something about it.
