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

if you played it before 360 days, you would understand. its like making books into movies. some remakes work (like metroid prime trilogy), but most remakes make new players not appreciate the older version

I spent a lot of time playing Halo 2, I never had Live, and all I did was play the campaign, and when I finally got Live (in 2009), I went on Halo 2 and to be honest, no body gave a crap about what they were doing, I wanted to play a huge 16 player game just having fun, yet in the end it was a 20 minute match of everyone on the other team quitting and my team trying to drive Scorpians and Warthogs up the walls.

I soon went back to Halo 3, and eventually played ODST and am currently on Reach, but after a while, the same multiplayer gets boring, and I've heard Halo 2 be highly praised for it's multiplayer, and to be honest, what I experienced were bored people, doing nothing.

After I saw 343 say they're going to remake Halo 1, it occurred to me that Halo 2 could be another game to remake, I've heard a lot of people have said they hated that game, the story was weak, the Arbiter was not needed at all as he wasn't significant, the game ended poorly, and many more, but to be honest, even with Bungie's Limited time to make, de-bug, test, compose music for and build a whole new multiplayer, along with connections to Xbox Live, the game was amazing, I've played the Campaign countless times. (I restated the again, going for Legendary, currently I'm on Delta Halo)

I really enjoyed Halo 2, I thought the entire game was amazing and I would pay any amount of money to have a remake, the Multiplayer was trashed a while back for Halo 2 and I'd like to see this "highly praised" multiplayer.

But whose to say it should be like the original? They could put things in there that were meant to have been placed in the game but because of time restraints Bungie couldn't put it in there, I've read some awesome stuff about what Halo 2 would've had in it and watched videos about it. Even though many fans would rage it's not the same game, I believe that even though it's not, it would be a nice touch to have these levels that were cut in the game, I would love to have something new in a game like this, and if people want to play the game as it was the first time, there could be an option to change from the original story to the re made one as you please, after you complete the game.

Also, if 343 did remake Halo 2, I'd only want one thing changed.

The Goddamn accuracy those damn Jackles have with their damn beam rifles.

the one reason i dont want a remake: the fear they will mess up the halo 2 skulls.

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?
halo 2 ftw if they made it EXACTLY the same for live and better graphics with firefight and maybe new stuff to come in the future i would pay 100$ jk, but it should happen to make up from the tragedy that happened with halo 2 in 2010

Lol, emearg95 stutters. Unfortunately I will buy it no matter what, even if I think they messed up or they ruined HCE.

I'm just saying if HCEA turns out badly somehow or turns out great I will buy H2A regardless just to see myself.

I love what I've been seeing with the Halo CE remake, but I would love to see a Halo 2 remake. Why people would want to remake Halo 3 is beyond me. Halo 1 & 2 definitely could use a graphics update.

  • 10.17.2011 3:55 PM PDT

Straight Edge.

Halo and Halo 2 were both Original Xbox games, it's possible a Halo 2 Remake would come out in 2014 by which time the next gen consoles could be out. I can see it happening.

Lol wut?
I fail to see the connection between making books into movies, and remaking games.
I kinda get what you are saying, but i don't get the comparison.

Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

I really do not think they will make anymore remakes. The reason is that since the next xbox was report couple days ago to be released in 2013, I see game developers trying to find the "killer" title that will bloom the next xbox.

NO

If a Halo 2 remake is ever made, the only thing it needs is a graphics enhance.

The gameplay and everything else related to that is perfectly fine.

Oh and at the HaloFest panels, people always asked 343i if they would do a Halo 2 remake. Dan Ayoub said "it's a possibility."

This, we should concede a graphics upgrade for the gamers that never played H2 in it's heyday. That would allow this next generation to accept and older game and a chance to maybe experience Halo 2 as it was.

If 343 would toss in a level or 2 that was originally cut, so much the better, imo.

I agree for the most part, but it would only make sense since 3 and so on are the 360, since halo 2 is on the Xbox original I see it possible

I hope they don't do the same thing they've done with the CEA characters: use the halo reach models with CE input, disappointed we had to vs those retarded looking elites again
if they don't use in house engine for the multiplayer as well then it hinders the purpose of remaking the game, how stupid where they to just remake the campaign of CE when multiplayer was the main reason of it's success
