Subject: halo 2 remake?

Yes do a Halo 2 remake. I never got to experience that game online since it got shut down on xbox live. I know it is probably really similar to Halo 3 but I still want one. If it is remade though, there should be no unlocking special armor.

I agrea because all the people that played halo 2 and I was one of them loved halo 2 and it seems like such a waste just to forget halo 2 like that.

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

Or how about just re-releasing Halo 2 on the Xbox Live Marketplace with Online Multiplayer enabled?

  • 10.16.2011 7:49 PM PDT

I think Halo 2 should be remade as a downloadable game with updated servers that are compatible with xbox360.

Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

My only concern is that Halo: CE anniversary will already have remastered Halo 2 maps for the current engine. I just feel that it would not make sense to keep remaking the same maps over and over again. However, new artistic ideas for the maps are always awesome so I would love to see Halo 2 remastered for the next engines.

While I agree it would be awesome to play Halo 2 as it was always intended, if you boarded the Covie ship instead of using their bomb you wouldn't have Master Chief's Epic Line:

Master Chief: Sir, permission to leave the station.
Lord Hood: For what purpose Master Chief?
Master Chief: To give the Covenant back their bomb!

Hmm, excellent reason for 343 to give us the maps that were cut.

All the nostalgia will return to my mind, memories long forgotten will be restored.

I say there should be a remake.

  • 10.19.2011 12:50 PM PDT

it should be the next game after halo 4

  • 10.20.2011 4:12 AM PDT

No, it is not similar to Halo 3. Halo 2 owns Halo 3, and blows Halo Reach out of the water. They will never remake it, because too many bad kids complained about BxR and double shot, because for some reason they just could not press "B", then "X", then "R", and said that it was an unfair glitch.

Halo 2 had the best gameplay of all the Halo series, but it seems like Bungie is trying to forget about it because of the complainers. REMAKE HALO 2 PLEASEEE...

  • 10.20.2011 6:55 AM PDT

Dude he was making a slight against the games... but i think halo 2 remake with campaign and multiplayer maps would rock!


  • 10.22.2011 4:26 AM PDT

Mainly graphics and multiplayer for me, although I WOULD love to see some additions, like new Easter eggs, and possibly a mode that will make film making easier, with a simpler way to lower your weapon, etc.

  • 10.23.2011 4:02 PM PDT

I would buy a remake for sure, for the achievements alone!

  • 10.26.2011 4:17 PM PDT

id buy it but dont expect to see one for a long time

No. I prefer Halo CE.

  • 10.27.2011 7:20 PM PDT

Heck yes!! I'm buying Halo:CEA and would definitely add a newly remastered Halo 2 as well! Halo 2 was my favorite of the Halo series by far! PLEASE MAKE THIS!!

  • 11.04.2011 7:23 PM PDT

Coming from a long time Halo player/ big time fan of the series, I think it's safe to say that the majority of the community doesn't necessarily care for the campaign to be remade, but restoring H2's multiplayer should definitely be considered. When looking back to the days of online Halo 2 multiplayer, I think of the battle rifle. I think of MLG. I think of playing zombies on foundation for hours with my buddies. I think of superbouncing, along with other glitches like BXR, RRX, BXB, getting out of the maps, etc.

So here's what I propose:

- Remake the Halo 2 multiplayer experience with Reaches updated graphics (just like Halo: CE Anniversary)
- Also, like 343 made clear about the way they did Halo:CEA, have the gameplay feel the exact SAME. Meaning, let all the old weapons feel the same and leave all the same glitches that were in the original H2. i.e.(Superbounces, BXR, BXB, RRX, getting out of the maps, etc.)

A refurbished version of H2 doesn't have to blow us all away with anything special or new. All it has to do is implement and maintain what made it so special in the first place. the things I listed above are those specific things that made H2 so special.

Also, don't change the way the maps look too much. Like the way lockout was changed to look all dark in H3 for example. Polishing everything up and making it all sharper is all that is needed:)

Lastly, bring back as many, if not all, of the same maps. Except Elongation... screw Elongation

Yeah Bungie was ashamed of it. The fan's reaction to Arbiter. The cliffhanger ending. The complaints about Brutes being damage sponges and berserking Brutes being easy to avoid. Some things lacking and some things missing.

But I find more enjoyment in H2 than I do in H3 or CE.

Don't you mean Reach's updated updated graphics? It shouldn't use the same graphics as CEA unless there's a short time between them.

nah they should let bungie keep halo3 nd odst there allready online just remake halo 2 that's all we need
