Subject: Would you be fine with a Halo 2 Anniversary?

I hope they remake it. I have never played the game, but I have seen gameplay and people say it is amazing. I hope 343 won't make it Reach multiplayer like in CEA, because that angered a LOT of people, including myself. Hopefully 343 will either A) Recreate Halo 2 multiplayer (Which I bet they will do this time) or B) Make it Halo 4 multiplayer, because from what I see, it looks great. Hopefully there will be the same option to switch between old and new graphics/music. If 343 does remake Halo 2, I WILL preorder.

Trying for CEA's achievements introduced entirely new focus on several levels...it was like rediscovering the game. For that reason alone, I'd welcome an H-2 remake.

i think that would be a great ideal they did a great job combat evolved that is the only game i havent played on my 360 i played it on the first xbox but not on line i think they should do it i would really like to check out the multiplayer on it

Hell yeah, I'd be the first one in line at midnight for a Halo 2 Anniversary.

  • 05.20.2012 2:31 PM PDT

My Halo 2 disc is damaged. I would love a Halo 2A, but I don't like the sound of '2A'.

I just wanna play the campaign again.

I just hope that it doesn't turn out to be HA 2.

I'd hate it if they used it's PC port instead of sticking with the Xbox version.

But I'd especially hate it if they included the TU patch that removed long range sword cancelling instead of using the original H2.

If they make a Halo 2 Anniversary, they should clarify on:

1) is it Xbox or PC?
2) is it pre TU or post TU?

#1 is what CEA failed to do. They claimed the bridge jump was possible, that the original tricks were unchanged. But the fov has been increased, draw distance seems to have been shortened, and several other changes makes the tricks harder to do.

Halo:CEA was disrespectfull to the original game in many ways. Unfinished graphics, laggy coop which was pretty much unplayable for the non host.
And they cut out multiplayer fss.

I would love to play Halo 2 again online.
They only need to add Hi-ress textures, achievements and online play both coop and mp. Keep the rest of the game the same as before.

343 studios could learn from the developers who remastered Perfect Dark on XBLA, which was pretty much a perfect remake, not 100% but very close.

If they where to create Halo 2:A as they did with Halo:CEA i wouldn't buy it.

I think they will do something special for Halo 2 either on Halo 4 or 5. Maybe as a simple DLC featuring most of the maps from that game, or simply adding a whole new playlist that would meet fan's expectations.

as well as either Halo Reach or Halo 4 multiplayer.


I was fine with this until here. If this were to happen, I'd rather fondly remember Halo 2 then play a mess created by 343.

I agree with this 100%.

I don't know about the textures. I wouldn't want the Grunts turning into hideous monsters or the Brutes turning into ewoks.

Though I definitely want new models. Reach models were overused.

Think about this for a second before you blindly say yes. If 343 Industries announced that they are going to be remaking Halo 2 just like they did with Halo Combat Evolved, would you be fine with it? There would be new graphics, new music, as well as either Halo Reach or Halo 4 multiplayer.
well it would be a camp. re-make soo no, the halo 2 camp was bad

Are you trying to say that Halo 2 had too much camping in it, and that's why it shouldn't be remade?

Absolutely. Remaking the game with its own multiplayer shouldn't be too much of a work to do, considering it has its netcode already programmed into the game.

Halo 2 remake/anniversary as a properly respected package would be the only thing that would get me pumped for a game.

Eh, I don't know. I guess it would be fun. Although I don't really want them remaking a bunch of previous Halo titles. I want new Halo games. Not updated versions of older games.

  • 06.01.2012 4:50 PM PDT

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

CEA was great fun, but no thanks to the added skulls. I liked it due to the nostalgia.


H2A would be a much tougher job, as the Multiplayer needs to be perfect. And they can't make a slip up like they did on The Library again.

  • 06.03.2012 1:15 AM PDT

I ♥ Bungie!

I would be fine with it.

This.

The added skulls didn't quite fit in. Pinata was pretty much hax in a game where cqc can be very effective. Bandanna was also leet. Grunt Funeral, oh boy.

Also, the game can't support a large number of grenades so it starts deleting them. This could have been much bigger, not that it matters since the blood splatter/explosions isn't very impressive in the new graphics.

I like to think of that as an intentional easter egg but the viewing through geometry lends credence that it was a mistake.

And yeah, H2 Anniversary must be done better. More time should be given to it than it was with CEA.

And of course, the skull menu should not be like in CEA. I want to be able to turn on/off skulls at any point in the game without having to restart. It was like this in the original H2 after all. If there's not going to be campaign scoring, then I don't see the point of this. If it's because of achievements, that is -blam!- lame because I didn't even bother with those. I like making my own challenges.

Finally, Theater is an absolute must. I hate having to upload crap videos all because I can't afford a HD capture card. If CEA had theater, I could just link people to the files so they could watch in better quality from their Xbox 360s.

Only if it is an updated version of Halo 2. That means new graphics and new soundtrack (both being able to change to classic), and an updated version of Halo 2 multiplayer. If they just dump it with Halo 4 multiplayer, I'm not buying it.


an updated version of Halo 2 multiplayer
an updated version
updated

No. Because update will mean changed engine (like CEA MM running on Reach's engine) which means changed spawns (spawn system embedded in H4 engine or whatever they'd use) and possibly the removal of button glitches. Any or all of these things would detract from the greatness of the game.

Your username supports this post. CEA did not utilize the Reach engine, it was the original's engine, with Reach's skins.

Yes, but only if they don't change a bunch of stuff and it plays like the original did, right down to the glitches.

If they were to remake it, i'd prefer the original multiplayer.

Oh, so he was talking about the Halo 2 campaign. In that case, I would have to disagree, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
