Honestly if they kept the same engine, glitches, and menu and gave everything a graphical overhaul I would buy it. You could still have Invite-Only custom games, but DON'T include online multiplayer of any sort because it would just taint the experience. Back in '05 and 0'6, Halo 2 was THE online console shooter. People were new to the whole "online console gaming" thing, and most people were legitimately nice guys who just wanted to have fun and enjoy the game. If you put H2 multiplayer into Xbox Live as it is today, it would be an absolute disaster.
TL;DR- Graphical overhaul only, no matchmaking, and I'd buy for up to $40if the remake goes the same way as CEA and the multiplayer is just halo 4 multiplayer on halo 2 maps then I don't care about it. HOWEVER, if they include the original physics, game engine, game settings, button glitches and everything that made halo 2 multiplayer great, then I would play that all day. Halo 2 multiplayer was some of the most fun and competitive gameplay in the series. Halo 3 topped it for fun and halo ce topped it for competitiveness. Halo 2 sits almost perfectly in the middle.
I still play halo 2 vista and I LOVE it. If they remove any of the button glitches then the game will not be as fun. Double shot, quad shot and bxr made everything that little bit more competitive and opened up the skill gap even more. It isn't easy to just press those buttons. You need to time it perfectly and react perfectly. Bxr was easy enough but the quad shot takes a bit to get down.
I hope they include the original multiplayer :)
