rumours and echoes

Will only get this if it has the original multiplayer again.

As of now, Halo 2 is the only Halo game without an official online MP mode. Yes there is Halo 2 Vista but unfortunately the port was botched and is very unpopular for a variety of reasons.

So if this is true, original MP is a must or I think it won't be a sale for me.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

True or not, they're not gonna give this full multiplayer after keeping it out of CEA. At least they better not. They'll just remake Lockout, Midship, Zanzibar, and a few others for Halo 4. And they'll play horribly.

And Halo PC is a lagfest. Borderline unplayable at times.

Not necessarily, Halo PC has issues with lag yes, but it's not too major. Need to lead all of your shots which, when you learn how to do still makes the game fun and enjoyable at times. I've got a community montage of Halo PC here with members from this site. Halo PC is still a good mp experience, but yes, the lead is an issue.

The bigger issue is the amount of rockets only servers.

Even if this is a rumor, I'll still continue to hope for a Halo 2 Anniversary.

All I want is to have Halo 2's MP system back. I loved it and still do.

Why are you so against Halo 2 coming back? What if they suprised us and brought back the original MP??

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

It better include all the multiplayer maps and not just some, and hopefully a place to toggle on and off the skulls for once rather then activating the ones you want from different saves.

Bring it back? Where did it go?

I seem to recall them saying they used reach's mulitplayer for CEA for two reasons A. They didn't want to divide the community and B. because CE (for xbox) didn't have live support and they didn't want to slap sloppy netcode on it (so they say).

But halo 2 had live support...so hopefully that would make a rerelease much smoother.

Honestly, I'd just be happy with an live arcade release with live support. Clan support intact etc.

we'll see though. Here's to hopin' Halo 4 is solid :)

If they waited for the ten year anniversary that would make it a 2014 release.... and by then...if you've stopped playing Halo 4 I don't think you'd start up again.

I'm talking about Xbox Live MP....

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

I can't see Halo 2 maps working in Halo 4 since sprint is default.

You do realize that a lot of people don't have pcs with promiscuous mode to even allow them to play, right?

One of their excuses for not bringing Halo:CE back with online, was that it wouldn't be as we remembered it.
That was BS of course, but it's even less of an excuse this time around.

Exactly.
All my friends that i played Halo 2 with back in the day are hoping that Halo 2 will be brought back. Most of them don't have power full enough PC's to play it.
But even so, there is no matchmaking in the pc version.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Now all we have to pray for is a loyal Halo 2 Multiplayer experience.

I ♥ Bungie!

I don't think it will happen.

Why..? What's the point there's still Halo 2 PC.

Not all of us have PCs, and Halo 2 anniversary would have better graphics and online co op.

Halo 2 Xbox (360) > Halo 2 PC.

And I think that many people would agree with me.

My group plays on XBC too, not just Halo 2 Vista.

Why does it have to be over live? What's wrong with XBC or Halo 2 Vista? They are both online even though they are not called Xbox Live.
