Subject: Will there be a H2A?

~Nin10do Guy

I joined halo with reach. Months later, I played h3 / CE. My only xperience with this is H2V (barf) so I would get it so I can see how halo was in its prime. But will there be a H2A?

Nobody knows except for maybe some people at 343i.

And I say maybe because they have well over two years before the tenth anniv rolls around, and CEA was quite a rush job. So it's possible that the people in charge of greenlighting stuff like this haven't gotten around to making the decision yet.

if they give Halo 2 Anniversary the green light, i doubt they'll announce it before 2013

It would be nice if they kept the multiplayer in-game, that way we don't have to rely on Halo 4's garbage remakes and progression system. I know, a little behind to judge remakes of all things, but I am just judging from what they did with CEA, and after reading COD in Spa...I mean Halo 4's "progression" system.

Lets keep Halo 2 purely Halo 2...maybe with new graphics. No new sounds though, considering they completely scrapped CE's great old weapon sounds to mediocre ones that sound out of place.

I ♥ Bungie!

I highly doubt it.

But I wouldn't mind if they made some improvements/fixes. CEA didn't fix 'press X to enter vehicle', which is really annoying when reloading a gun.

Problems in H2 of that magnitude:

-disappearing Scarab on Metropolis
-lack of skull menu
-Elites dying when taking cover. It happens on Uprising and The Arbiter. Really annoying, regardless of which side they're on, I have uses for such Elites

Also, I hope they don't base it on the PC version like they did with CEA (or did they?). God knows that H2 Vista was the worst port ever! Basing H2 on that game would be the dumbest move in the entire world. There's no need to suppress button combos if it's just campaign. I want to try out long range sword flying and super jumping but Vista sucks.

?

Also, has anyone ever mentioned a glitch concerning the TotS Zealot? I can barely contain my excitement. My Nightfall AI collection's in it's final stages. TotS is my current project.

Unfortunately, CEA really didn't fix anything. All the exploits I used (and or discovered) in CE work in CEA And I do wonder if they were to release it, would it be the latest 1.5 patch (fixes quite a few sword abilities).

As a multiplayer person, I am really hoping they release most of H2 collection. So much fun to play...

Exactly! Hi-ress textures, online coop and achievments, but keep the rest of the game as it was. Look at Perfect Dark, that was pretty much a perfect remake, not 100% but close.
Halo:CEA was rushed, graphics, online coop was laggy for the second player and there was no multiplayer. Which means the only people who got something out the game was Reach players.
Halo:CEA was a dissaster, but i cross my fingers for a proper remake of Halo 2, because i miss playing it.

I also don't like how the Halo series get more and more Call of Duty'fied.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I'm sure it's been talked about at 343 Industries. But they are completely focused on Halo 4 as of now. Maybe after Halo 4's release, Halo 2 Anniversary will become a side project.


I honestly hope Halo 2 never gets remade, though. It will serve the game no justice. You have to have played in Halo 2's prime to truly understand how great of a game it really is. No highly detailed graphics will ever be good enough to reenact what Halo 2 was like. It wouldn't come close.




And to those that have never experience Halo 2 online: get some friends together (6-8), buy a couple used Halo 2 copies at Gamestop for like $20, and have a LAN party. Forget about ranks and gamerscore for once, and just play for fun again. I think we all need to do this. Lan parties are my favorite memories of Halo 2. A remade version of Halo 2 could never recreate the joy that Halo 2 once brought.

The Grunts would be hideous and the vehicles and weapons would be reused from the Reclaimer trilogy rather than given new designs. This is evidenced by their work in Anniversary and how they're using Reach models for H4 (not in the demo but seen on the website as renders).

In CEA, stealth Elites are near impossible to see (which is why 343 made their weapons visible. In the old graphics, the plasma rifles are cloaked) and it's difficult to tell where your shots land (in the original, there was clear indication. On the other hand, in the H4 Conan video, there were sparks from the BR, though that seems to be gone in the current H4 build).

It's interesting how the skulls make CE's gameplay similar to Reach. I don't hate Reach anymore but I dislike 343's bias.

Yep.

I hope so too.

Im sure if they see a high enough demand for it they will release it. Well you can mark me down as a purchaser if released.

  • 06.25.2012 10:55 AM PDT

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Hope not. If they do though, they better make a Halo 3 Anniversary.

Their is no need for a Halo 3 anniversary now since it's for the current console, plus it hasnt even been 10+ years since Halo 3 came out. Their will be a Halo 2 Anniversary, seeing as how many of the classic games from that era and from the past have been returning as HD remake or as a anniversary gift to fans of the series.

Um no, by the time H3A Anniversary comes out there will likely be a lot of change in the industry. Your argument is invalid. It would obviously come out in 2017.

H3 campaign's broken geometry makes me think that H3 must return in some way.

It's as big of a mistake as 'press X to enter vehicle'. Weapons randomly dropping through the floor tsk tsk...

I doubt it. I don't think 343 would release two Halo games back to back like that. They would have to release Halo 5 and Halo 2A right around the same time, which could be bad for sales.

343 is already releasing Halo games back to back, ie Halo Anniversary was released on Nov 2011 and Halo 4 will be released on Nov 2012. Most likely they"ll release Halo 5 2-3 years after Halo 4, after getting as much profits as they can from DLC's etc from the game. Halo 2 Anniversary would probably come out around November 2014 for Halo 2's 10th bday, seeing as how Halo Anniversary came out on Halo CE's 10th bday.

If they do release it, they probably gonna do what they did for Halo Anniversary with its online being integrated to Halo 4 while releasing Halo 5 a year later, in order to extend the life of Halo 4 for another year.

Then again I could I be wrong, but its the best conclusion I can come up with after looking at Halo's past.
