Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I ask why? 343 doesn't need to remake Halo 2. I'd rather the devote to the new trilogy and expanded universe instead of rehashing the same old -blam!-.
Let me lay it out like this. It's getting to the point where they're going to be developing a new Xbox. We all know it's coming, it's technological progression. Halo 2 has problems playing on the 360 already. I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but on my copy the background sometimes freezes a "silhouette" into my view, and it layers to the point where I can't see anything. A remake would alleviate this.
To add to this, the multiplayer lost support, because the Xbox LIVE was shut down to make more room for the 360 LIVE. Now multiplayer maps that were DLC are all but lost; maps that could be recovered in a remake. Add to this the possibility of Forge and integration with Reach (or at that point Halo 4) multiplayer, and we've got a whole new beast.
It would be more than "rehashing the same old -blam!-," it would be keeping the dream alive. Making it so that kids who never played Halo 2 (and how many copies do you see lying around?) can experience it with better graphics and possibly things added that the developers wanted in from the get-go.
That sounds like all rainbows and butterflies, but 343 is here to expand the Halo lore, something I am becoming very hesitant in them doing. All these remakes will do is distract them from their new trilogy, no matter how good or bad it could be.
Instead of remaking them, they could keep them in all their glory as DLC titles for Arcade or Xbox On Demand, like they did with Halo: CE. Port the favorite maps of old to their new games and there you go.
