In 3 years it will be 10 years since Halo 2. They gonna remaster that too? I sure wouldn't mind.

I would, because then it would go Reach Graphics(Reach)-Reach Graphics(Halo:CE Anniversary)-Halo 4 Graphics(Halo 2 Anniversary)-Halo 3 Graphics(Halo 3)-Halo 4 Graphics(Halo 4).

If you wanted to play through the series it would be totally disjointed graphical wise and that would be annoying, I'd like it better if it was Better-Better-Bad-Good-Best which is how it will be now.

The origonal Halo 2 sucked enough. Why would they need to make a new one? I don't want to get BR spammed, RBXed, noob comboed, modded, and have to go through the worst campaign of the series.

Halo Wars was better than Halo 2. That is possibly the biggest insult the game could get.

Well then, I suggest you stop playing Halo & play COD or go catch some. Get outta here.

You prefered Halo 2 over the rest of the series? YOU get out of here.

Also i do beleive i am allowed to voice my opinion on the forums. You don't have to agree with it but you should atleast have the decencey to say why.

Due to some e-mail dumbness, my GT is not the one listed on my profile. My GT is the same as my board name.

Well, it would give them the opportunity to fix some of Halo 2's glaring, blatant flaws...

But I don't think so. Not as iconic, I think.

  • 06.12.2011 8:09 PM PDT

I agree, I'd rather them remake Halo 3, much more memorable, epic campaign. Halo 2 was like a fever dream for me, but I did play it when I was like 10.

i didnt understand a thing you just wrote oblivioh...

Maybe so... but just because you are the first to make something doesn't mean that what you make is good. Halo 2 was full of lag, mods, and glitches. Getting killed by a single melee because of a glitch (BXR) when it should take 2-3 is not cool.

Also, being able to fly a banshee through a wall because you have a few fancy microchips in your Xbox that allow you to have mods is not a good thing.

The lag... do I really have to explain how much Halo 2 could lag with just one person in the game having a "Wallmart Connection"?

1. Button glitches were glitches yes.. but once you learned how to use them properly you didn't have to worry about them as often, plus if you let some guy get close enough to you to punch you in the face before you 4 shot him.. you probably deserved to be killed anyways. It's sad to say this about glitches but learn and adapt, everyone else did.

2. Mod's sucked yes but their were plenty of easy ways around them. I used to run train on kids that modded all the time cause they'd dish out $100 on equipment they didn't know how to use properly. Worst comes to worst you had the ability to purchase these "fancy chips" as well..

3. Halo 2 runs on the same system as Halo 3 and Reach as far as online play, only difference is Halo 2 was one of the FIRST games to use this system so the way it searched for host was by far inferior which explains the lag. It has nothing to do with the game itself. Read up on connections.

On another note, it'd be neat to see how they'd update Halo 2 but it won't happen. They're doing Halo: CE because..

1. It's the first game of the series, where it all began.

2. We asked for it so much.

Halo 2 is no where near as important as being the first of the series that started a revolution in the way shooters were played.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

They should come out with Halo 2 Anniversary during the 20th Anniversary of Halo. Then Halo 3 Anniversary during the 30th Anniversary of Halo. Then, that's it. No more remakes until maybe a long time after.

The reason Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary came about was due to the fact it was the first Halo. It started it all. Not just for the fact it was a 10 year old game.

(Don't get me wrong, I love Halo 2 and would love to see some form of an online enabled version of it)

  • 06.13.2011 7:05 AM PDT

i dont think they will for halo 2. I personally didnt like it too much, but i know that many other people loved it. But its just not the first Halo, its not as iconic (albiet, it did use XBL first) as the first one. Everyone here wants a halo remake in a way that barly touches the gameplay, and we pretty much got that. i havent heard people want a halo 2 remake until just now honestly

  • 06.13.2011 9:30 AM PDT

Yes, but only because of that nasty emulator problem.

Halo 2 was so much fun. I don't know wtf you are talking about. It was fun, competitive and had good maps. Noob combo was the only thing that I didn't really like but the multiplayer was still great and 10 times better than halo 3 and reach. The only reason I stopped playing it was because the cheating and modding got out of hand. The button glitches I didn't even know about until I stopped playing so that didn't really bother me. If they made a remake though they could take out the button glitches anyway and make the plasma pistol the way it is now where it drains if you hold it.

bad idea. i think its a little overboard to make an aniversary remake of the second game after they just made a remake of the first halo and besides its odd to make a remake of the second game when we are celibrating the time since the original game

halo 2 is ta BOMB!!! it dosent suck! what's your problem. heres an idea.... read the books and play the game.

  • 07.21.2011 6:32 PM PDT

They should not in my opinion. Halo CE compared to todays graphics is not the best (but certanly not bad) so thats one reason why they are making CEA. In my opinion Halo 2's graphics are actually pretty good, so i think it shouldn't be touched.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

There is no reason for them to do so. Halo2 defined a generation of online gaming, it's not something that was really "missed" by anyone. CE however has not been played by quite a few of the people that call themselves Halo fans. Y'know the one's that talk about how something isn't "Halo" even though they've only played Halo3 and Reach.

Back to the story, CE:A is happening because the game that launched a console brand has been out of most peoples minds for some time, and never touched the minds of many others. This will remedy that.

  • 07.22.2011 4:47 PM PDT

yes. the campaign could have some glitches fixed.... and as a bonus i would love to see them redo the e3 demo level that looked so amazing.
