I wish that if they do make a anniversary edition of halo 2, that it will be the entire remake of the game. Every single multiplayer map included, just how they were back then, no changes other than better graphics, same with the campaign and everything. I am a true halo fan, but as I read somewhere else on the forum, there are groups of halo fans. I fall under the originals of Halo 1 and Halo 2. I used to play Halo 2 everyday, it was the only game I ever played back then, now I switched over to Call of Duty for the fact that bungie continues to disappoint the original fans of the game. Halo CE anniversary edition was probably the greatest failure in my eyes with the Halo ??*Trilogy*?? I mean the campaign was amazing same as it was when I first pickup up the game in 2001. But I was so disappointed when I looked at the multiplayer and, what do I see?? REACH MULTIPLAYER???????? I will say that I played on the maps for the hell of it bringing back old memories, but those memories of HALO CE the Original didn't come back at all... Just halo reach. I love the campaign on every Halo, and I do own Reach same as I do own every single Halo that has ever came out including maps and everything, except for after halo 2. The greatest part of the game next to the story line was the multiplayer in Halo 2, but because of cheaters you say that that type of gameplay failed?? FIX IT and MOVE ON. There are cheaters in every game, who cares. Ban them. With the way technology works today you can fix the problem easily. But beyond that, lets get into the ranking systems. In Halo 2, there was actually skill involved with ranking up, which I have yet to see in any video game since. Also the way the ranks looked and were set up where good looking too. But the overall multiplayer set up was amazing. The game searching, paryting up, clans, etc. Every single part was amazing. Then you move onto Halo 3. It was ok, you did have some skill involved but not as much, it was too easy to rank up, and you also earned points towards a Army grade ranking. Which sucks... But wait, then you go to Reach, skipping ODST and Halo Wars for purposes known on multiplayer. I loved the campaign on Reach, same as the Forge mode, but it was trash with multiplayer, and yea I played it, not for long though... It was so disappointing. No skill required, you earn credits and rank up regardless, no worrys on skill whatsoever... I don't understand why Halo has gone From Amazing, to Twice as Amazing with Halo 1 and Halo 2, to disappointing, to a little less than that, and then Reach with an all out Disgust in Multiplayer. And I understand it is the makers game, but it is made for the community and to spit in the communitys face like that with the anniversary edition of CE?????


NOW WHY AM I WRITING ALL THIS??????

I dont know if anyone has read all the way to this point, and I dont care, because the people who didnt, do not enjoy Halo 1 and 2 as an all out amazing first person shooter, and also dont realize that they were the games that changed peoples gaming everywhere. Now I know that there are alot of players out there, that played Reach and thats where their Halo career started, some never even played the originals, some probably did, but it didnt start from the beginning for them. Some never experienced Halo 2 Multiplayer, where it all started. SO WHY DOES BUNGIE MAKE THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION FOR THEM??? THE REACH PLAYER???? MAKE IT FOR THE ORIGINAL PLAYER, WITH THE ORIGINAL MAPS NO CHANGES, JUST WITH UPDATED SERVERS AND BETTER GRAPHICS, WITH ORIGINAL WEAPONS, ETC. But no, Bungie likes loosing fans on their multiplayer side because they Bring a crappy style of gameplay to a truly amazing game that needed no changes....

I have to say, if they opened servers for the original Halo 2 again, I would never play another game again.

So Bring back a beautiful game with an amazing skill based multiplayer and Leave Reach to the little kids that never got the chance to experience the real multiplayer of Halos history.

I will add a poll of agree or disagree, and lets hope that Halo 2 Anniversary will be the original just better graphics, because if I see Reach Multiplayer again, I will have lost Faith in Bungie all together, Thanks for reading.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Although Bungie's original Halo engine is in the game, it was 343 Industries who developed Anniversary. All Halo games from here on out will not involve Bungie.

You need to realize that the franchise itself is entering a new era. We all miss the Halo 1 and Halo 2 multiplayer, but at least there are PC versions for both games that allow you to recapture some of that magic you experienced many years ago.

You might not like the direction Halo is going, but it is what it is. You still need to give 343 and Halo 4 a chance...maybe it will bring you back to the franchise again, maybe it won't. The glory days of gaming are always great to reflect on and wish back, but you must move on and look ahead. Those are horrible poll options by the way and you should use more paragraphs, just saying.

These poll options give me so much freedom and allow me to express my opinion. They're definitely not biased and I'm not being sarcastic when I say this at all.

thank you, someone feels the way I do, and also idc who has say in the games anymore or not, they should of left it how it was originally made, because by changing it, they lost the respect of the people who were there from the start

Halo hasn't gone AWOL yet. You want AWOL? Check out how backwards Battlefield and Crysis have gone since release. Same with COD for PC.

I will see what Halo 4 is like before I jump ship. All of the Halo's have been very good even Reach and Wars, but without Bungie behind the series I'm fearful of what it may become. Halo Anniversary should have had original Halo MP yes (though my good friend Dr Syx disagrees xD) but splitting the player base would have potentially been bad for sales of both the games.

So far, the only thing I dislike about Halo 4 is the Chiefs armour. The rest we'll see later this year (or in the Beta)

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.
(Proud LONGTIME owner of the PC and Xbox versions of Halo CE)

Halo CE and Halo 2 has my favorite gameplay and maps in the entire franchise, I wish its style would stay. Halo 3 kept some of the great style. Reach, is my least favorite game in the franchise. It is fun to play online from time to time, but it just seems so...different from Halo. I'd go as far as to say the Halo trilogy was almost perfect, each game had amazing multiplayer maps(Isolation was even fun from time to time!) and a good story. I will never forget playing Halo CE and Halo 2 or the first time. So many fun memories. Halo 3 had some good ones too!

I've said it before though, Halo 2 was the pinnacle of Halo multiplayer.

Reach is a different story. It has some good features though for Customs, Firefight, and Forge.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I feel... that you need to write in paragraphs and Halo multiplayer is gettng boring

I came, I saw, I conquered. On my quest to become Mythic. So all can be jealous of the amazing blue glow from my title bar. =) ~BlindChild~

I've tried everything to get XBC to work so I can play Halo 2 again and it just won't work. I really want to play it again.

If they made Halo 2 available with online MP I'd play it forever.

I'm going to guess your setup, and if I'm right, then do this.
XBOX - wireless or wired to router
Computer - Running XBC while plugged in with ethernet into router.

Boom, your done.

lol I know the paragraphs are all messed up, I wasn't planning on writing as much as I did. But the point is my message, saying that Halo Multiplayer is going downhill fast, started a little with halo 3, and Reach put ice on the hill... I will see how Halo 4 is but I just dont know whether or not to have any faith...

Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, period. That's multiplayer, single player, co-op campaign, everything. I -blam!- love halo 3 and I include ODST coz it has Halo 3 in the title =)
