Subject: Halo: 2 ... Remake? C'mon, 343. We all have nostalgia, don'...

- Err4tic

I was thinking... Cool, they're doing Halo: CE over again. I love Halo: Reach, but I do wish 343i tried out a whole new engine. Other than that, I'm willing to buy and play. Halo: 4 is iffy for me. I hope they don't -blam!- it up, but I do trust them. Halo: 2 was my favorite halo game. I say that they should remake it, minus the patches or anything. John's MJLONIR armour looked amazing in Halo 2 and then it somehow lost it's touch in Halo 3. They should build a whole new engine geared towards just Halo 2 in specific. I'd love that. Anybody else agree? Or disagree?

It's Pokémon, not Pokemon!

No, they shouldn't. What's Next, In 2017, they are going to have a Halo 3 Remake? I Don't think so. Oh wait, I Just heard that they are going to make Halo Reach Remake in 2020! They should only remake Halo CE.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

I disagree OP, EclipsePalix400 is right, there is no need, and I also have my personal reasons too, PERSONALLY i think the game is well overrated and doesn't deserve a remake IMO

If you played Halo 2 in its prime you would want a remake and you thought its campaign is overrated which people want Halo 2 back for its multiplayer. Your argument is a fail.

Halo 3 and Reach are both still alive and will be for a long while. I don't know if you heard about this but XBL for original xbox and games was shut down.

... Really? You can't play Halo 2 online anymore. And seriously, that argument with all the games being remade. I don't want that. I'm not saying they need to remake every game--I'm saying I'd like em to remake Halo 2. Then, all of the games will be on the 360. And by the time a new console comes out, the 360 will probably always be available on Xbox Live. They can't just cut off another system like that.

the game is not overrated and personally, i think it does deserve a remake you've either never played the game or never finished it,
almost all halo players agree halo was the best halo

cannot believe you just said that + why would 343i remake 3 and afterwards 10 years after their release when those games are already in HD, it can only be done for C.E and 2. even to this day, theirs something about HALO 2's graphics I find more appealing then other games, especially the spartan/elites armour.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

WTF

These threads get annoying. Yes, we all want H2 back. No, it's most likely not going to happen.

Halo 2 PC is out with why don`t you guys play that instead?
The multiplayer will most likely be on Halo 4 anyway.

Some of us are not pc gamers, and the pc version of Halo 2 has far too many flaws in it. It also lacks co-op capabilities and the online population is always so low, and as such we get very little variety in what games are being hosted.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

Agree, but if they used the Reach engine it would get messy, definitely needs to have a different style.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

No, I want Halo 2 to stay how it is.

Attitudes are contagious, mine might kill you.


If you're looking for my Halo 2 online records my account was "Destri" back then, but for some reason xbox live won't let me link it to my bungie profile :( Well whatever I guess.

There probably aren't many people reading here, but I feel as though I should speak; there are others who feel this way.

The spirit of a specific game is not just its story or its gameplay. Halo 2 was a magnificent game; not just because of its mechanism or story (though in both cases it is stellar), but because of the time it existed. As much as I love the game, the climate in which it was released will never be replicated. The developers, nor I (who adore the game beyond words), will ever be able to bring it back into the similar spirit of which it was first released. This is not anyone's fault; the fault now only belongs to time itself.

I, and many others, would love for Halo to have a resurgence: but it wont; at least not the same way. There is room for the series to go forward; but backward represents nothing but a feeble attempt for us to cling onto something we recollect fondly, but in fact no longer exists.

I leave room to be proved wrong. I do not claim clairvoyance; only to have some experience. I hope I am proved wrong. I am certain that some funds could be raised by replicating an older game, but is that the right direction? The correct way is forward; even if we have an ardent longing for the past.

I love Halo. It will always have an extraordinarily special place in my heart. I will place myself blatantly next to whatever choice is made for the series; but sometimes the wisest choices are made from the heart and not the head.

I want H2 back for its campaign I barley played the multiplayer except when I finally got xbox live both campaign and multiplayer were the best.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I come back and now everyone wants the remake? Where's the ruined forever crowd?

You know, I strongly agree with you... Sometimes, nostalgia is something of a curse. And something that can never quite fully be fulfilled.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.

I at least want halo 2 on games on demand :\

  • 08.15.2011 6:08 PM PDT

For Carnage Apply Within - We played Marathon before Marathon was cool!

Keep it authentic...

Yeah we all have nostalgia for the original, Bungie made masterpiece, not some knock off piece of -blam!-.

A huge chunk of me died inside when the world of halo 2 stopped. But, i will always have those memories until the day i die/stop gaming.

I want to remember halo 2 how it was. Even though I never got to play it online, i still got to experience multiplayer with all my buds and I am fine with that. Is it not better to let some things go?
