Subject: Why not an Halo 2 remake for its anniversary?

We Are The Meta.

I for one would love a Halo 2 remake. That way all the games are on x360. (Still not bought on the x720 with H4 as release title, yet it has been longer than usual console life time.)

The point is not every game to be remade or another money grabbing scheme, but to have a game that fans will love. As much as I love fresh new games to expand the story, HCE & H2 remade remind us why we love the story and gameplay.

I don't deny that it has been annually since 2007, (H3 2007, HW 2008/9, H3ODST 2009, HR 2010, HCEA 2011, H4 2012/3), I don't think Halo will be diminished with this.

I also think they'll leave the remakes with just HCE & H2, even if x720 is true, it would decimate Microsoft/343i since they care about the fans. Also, what point would there be for x720 version of each game if x360 versions work perfectly on it. HCE is blurry & is only playable in letterbox form (2 black bars both sides of screen) while H2 had bugs like online when it had it & silhouettes appeared from the cutscenes.

Remakes for these 2 would actually be vast improvements over making the originals XBLA games. This way you can choose HD or retro and bug free at the same time.

Besides, November 11th 2014 is a long wait anyway. Helps break up the wait for the new trilogy and possible spinoff games.

Exactly. Reach gets new maps that you can play on the CEA disc.

And the online co-op? That's multiplayer, and Halo: CEA does have that.

Online co-op will be Halo: CE, competitive multiplayer will be Reach, how hard is that to understand? They did the EXACT same thing with ODST!

Instead of Halo 2 with Reach graphics, there should be Reach with Halo 2 graphics. Tip of the Spear full battle, anyone?

They screwed up the CE remake, I don't even wanna know how bad they would mess up Halo 2.

it would be like remastered campaign and 4 Halo Wars maps as the MP component


Is it for sale? Are large numbers of people playing it? Have you? No. We have no clue how good the remake will be, or how it will live up to our ever-growing expectations. However I think this is just a stepping stone for 343i to try to prove themselves to the community.

It doesn't have MP.
They're reasoning behind the lack of a CE MP is understandable, though, and what they're doing with matchmaking to compensate for it sounds very promising for those who want a more classic experience. Let's just wait and see, eh.

If they ever did go through with a Halo 2 remake, I would like to see them consider placing the cut material (such as the Forerunner Tank) into the final build this time.
