With Halo CE anniversary collection on the way I've been really excited to replay through the original game in sequence, starting with Reach and ending with 3 (maybe skipping ODST, we'll see) and so with that in mind I've been thinking about Halo 2, and how that will now be the oldest game of the Halo series.

My point: I'd like a remake. Why? Halo 2 was the phenomonal topper ot the original classic, without Halo 2 Xboxlive wouldn't be what it is today. Those of us that have played the game's story however know that it is heavily glitchy here and there, and after watching Bungie's final Halo vidoc it's clear now (more so than before, though still evident before) that Halo 2 had MUCH more planned for it, and due to time restraints some of those things weren't possible. One would say that what doesn't make the cut, shouldn't have, but I don't feel that way for time restraints. I believe a game like Halo 2 deserves a reboot MORE SO than Halo CE, with a proper coat of paint and glichtes flushed out, AND maybe a few minor add ons

- Perhaps SOME of the new weapons from Reach (some).
- Flood forms from Halo 3.
-I'd even stretch to add the final Prophet assassination attempt from the Halo comic to segway into Halo 3 and give us 1 extra level that does not break canon

What does everyone else think?

"I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart."

Halo 2 is allready and has always been a masterpiece.

To remake or make any changes to it would be pure blasphemy.

I honestly wouldn't be surpised, especially since they'll probably recycle some of the coding. They could use Halo 4 Graphics engine at that point too.

Hell might as well remake Halo 3,ODST, and reach then...

I think at this point the goal would really be to put all of the games onto the 360. I don't see a point in remaking Halo 3 or ODST. It'll be complete at that point, all on one console.

The halo 1 remake is being created because halo 1 was a master piece but was drawn with crayon in comparison to games today. This is the very reason blood gulch and chill out have been re-made, to convey what artists couldn't earlier in time. With halo 2 however, they had a massive budget and put time into the graphics just enough to get the message across. In a way, halo 2 was a masterpiece that was drawn with oil pastel that got a little smudgy. But if you squint you can still get the same experience. So no, I dont think we need a remake of it. And if we at some point do, it should be saved for an important date like anniversary is (10th anniversary.)

@accordingto343

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

It isn't needed.

I think it would be nice to see. I would like to see it have achievements, sweet graphics, and a more up to date online MP. That would be enough to please most of the community.

Halo CE done with crayon style graphics would be awesome, here's hoping it appears as a unlockable option in the remake.

Lime is rights. they have to make some sort of halo every year anyways.
II just hope they bring back the multiplayer side, and leave it the same. I wanna launch ghosts up to the cranes.

(Bungie > 343i)

Maybe.

If they just brought Halo 2 back on Xbox Live I'd be happy. Whatever form it comes back in, I don't care so long as it's untouched.

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

Unnecessary. But then again, having all games on the 360 would be nice, I guess.

1-1-5 Burn Hard, Bleed Red.

They Should Just Make A Halo Forever Pack Where You Get, Combat Evolved,Custom Edition,Halo 2,Halo 3,Odst, And Reach With All Map Packs Included And All Extras Added(Like The Pre-Order Things Like Flaming Helmet And Handbooks). I Would Buy It In A Heartbeat.

United Armed Forces

CEA is for cash and to test 343's abilities.


I'd rather them work on Halo 4, and if that's good, Halo 5 and 6.

Im saying yes to this for one major reason. Once anniversary is out, Halo 2 will be the only Halo game that is not a 360 game (as in can go on it without being kicked off xbox live) and does not have acheivments. I would love to see there be a updated version of Halo 2. Just like CE i did not have live back then so i use to play the campaign over and over and over without ever getting bored.

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

Keep it authentic...
