"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

So every true Halo fan's favorite game is Halo: 2. And the ONLY Halo game not available for download is Halo: 2. Why? Does it exceed the 2GB download limit or is it simply not possible? I would love to see Halo: 2 run through the Arcade online system - revive the old multiplayer greatness! I don't know if it would work but it would be awesome.

To me it would make sense. The fans would have what they want and it would make microsoft lots of money. Its only s win-win situation, right? Anyway, think what you will of this. I would like it because my disc is scratched and sometimes messes up, but its an idea.

IF they bring it back it would be campaign only.

No, it would have both SP and MP, CE on the marketplace has both.

There's obviously a creepypasta behind it's absence. I'm sure everyone has heard of the Disembodied Soul.

But yeah, I would like to play it on the Xbox 360.

IF they did, they could bring it back through Arcade and use the multiplayer through that. There are plenty of games that already do, so this could join them. Just my opinion though, and even if it did only come back with campaign, I would love to earn achievements on it.

There's absolutely nothing that would stop them if they wanted to re-release the game through ANY platform. The only reasoning behind it is that they either don't want to or have other plans for H2.

Honestly, I would MUCH rather take a remake of Halo 2. As much as I love the first one, Halo 2 was just a better game.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

For some reason i went to gamestop and they said Xbox Marketplace sold Halo 2 for 19.99 not sure why... but it would be great if they bring it back as its impossible to find.

Yeah it'd be great, and I wish they bring back the map packs again

If they don't know, they'll just assume. Don't blame them though. If it were any other game, it would be a safe bet to assume it's on XBL by now.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

No, Halo 3 is the best. I won't let some noob determine the definition of true fan. Halo 2 is bad and would only divide the fanbase more. That's why HCEA won't have it's own multiplayer, but will instead use Reach's engine. Also, posting in this on the Bungie forums will do nothing since 343 now has the reigns of the Halo series.

Nor will we let you define what a true fan is. As for your fanbase comment, every game that comes out divides fanbase in one fashion or another so your comment was ludicrous.

Some faster than others..........

reach was my entry into shooters, then i played H3 and ODST....and i'm buying CEA. i've even started playing Wars! H2 is missing...and my friends ay its a legendary game, the BEST Halo MM. i would LOVE H2 on the marketplace with ACTUAL MM instead of LAN and split screen like CE in the arcade.

Who knows, they may release Halo 2 on the marketplace in the future. It took them ten years to release CEA, maybe once ten years have gone by for Halo 2 it will also come out again.
