Subject: Should 343 make a Halo2 Anniversery?

I dont care what rank you are. I just enjoy playing the game. Playing the game legit brings much more joy of accomplishing something when you have worked hard to get to a certain rank, achievement, or commendation. Trust me you will enjoy the game alot more. Halo 2 is the best one.

I believe that 343 without a doubt should make a Halo2 Anniversery. Halo2 in my opinion brought so much to the series. The campaign was amazing. Had a great storyline to fighting on the city streets to taking it to the sky with the heretic and killing Tarturus. It was great to see that the Arbitor teamed up with Master Cheif allowing a co-op game of campaign for player2 to be Arbitor.

I am a super sharp shooter, sittin' on a roof top.

Yes, they should. I've been pushing this idea, but it probably won't be anytime soon or atleast this year.

Be strong, Own the world, Be the world

Yes, they should. I miss the good old days of playing Halo 2. The one thing they should have done for CEA is redone blood gulch. They also should have had on option to play the old Halo CE multiplayer with the old graphics.

It would be cool but only if the kept the multiplayer the same, if there was even Halo 2 Remake only multiplayer since they might do the same thing they did with Anniversary and Reach multiplayer.

I think they should, as long as they use they do the same to the multiplayer as well as the campaign, unlike Halo CEA. The reason I don't like Halo CEA is because they updated half the game and decided not to do the multiplayer. It doesn't seem complete as a game and also you can get ALL the anniversary maps (incl. Firefight) for Halo Reach for $15, which sort of means you pay for a very expensive campaign.
It would be a good idea to do Halo 2 HD remake, if they remake the full game and update Halo 2's multiplayer, rather than using another game's one.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Some things are better left alone. Halo 2 was essentially a fluke. Bungie wasn't able to achieve what they wanted out of its story, and I wouldn't want to see any modification to the game by anyone other than Bungie. Even if the only change is the graphics, I'd be against it. Keep in mind part of Halo 2's success was the brilliant advancement of graphics compared to its predecessor, and that any change takes away from that achievement.


And maybe it was just me, but some environments and cutscenes were just magnificent as is in Halo 2. Do we really want to see the iconic scenery be changed for a "better" look?

But that would defeat the point of a graphical re-boot, no?

All worlds begin in darkness. And all so end.
The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is it's nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the hearts true essence.

No, they'd ruin it.

How would they ruin it?


1.People would be disappointed due to a lack of classic Halo 2 multiplayer.
2. They would ruin the atmosphere and aesthetics with a graphical overhaul.
3. The character and weapon models would likely be copy/pasted from Halo 4, just like CEA had character/weapon models from Reach and Halo 3.

In short, it wouldn't be the Halo 2 we all know and love.

I <3 Bungie

I think they should, I would certainly enjoy it. I think it, like Halo CE, should be made on a 10 year anniversary.

God I'd love to see Halo 2 in a new coat of paint.

Not really, Halo CEA was basically a one-off, a 10th Anniversary special treat, in some ways a practice run in fact for 343 Industries. Halo CE is one of the most remembered and special games to most xbox gamers but Halo 2 isn't exactly the same case. They would be pushing their luck, they would be called lazy and there isn't much point. Halo 2 is my favourite Halo game but another remake would just spoil things, as I said it was a one-off. I could list 100 reasons but that's what my thoughts are.
