Subject: Should there be a Halo 2: Anniversary game?

Seeing as Halo CE: Anniversary was a sweet drop back into nostalgia, do you think 343i will eventually develop a Halo 2 anniversary game in 2013/2014?

Also, for discussion value let's say they include the Halo 2 multiplayer component with it as well, EXACTLY as it was when Halo 2 was out.

Do you think the sales for the game would be great?
Would people still play the multiplayer (more than Halo 4?) and enjoy it?
What would be your reaction to the game?

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

It can be done, but I hope the remakes stop there. No Halo 3.

I think 343i has said it has been something they have discussed as a cool idea but not something serious as of now.

No.

I hope not halo cea was terrible. It felt lazy that they left out most the maps. Plus Halo 2 is a bugfest it needs a lot of polish.

This.
I can't imagine the award we would get for completing it on Legendary...

Sounds about right.

You expected CEA to ship with the original multiplayer? Remaking the MP wouldn't have been a good idea.

Yes I'd like to see one. I'd rather see a map pack like Anniversary though. Halo 2's multiplayer ran its course and doesn't need a brief regeneration to split the Halo community.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Only if its not screwed up and has super jumps and button combos. No, they're not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. If those conditions are met, the game's sales will soar and more than likely obliterate Halo 4. And then no more Halo games and we end on a good note.

I just wanted all maps remade even if it was for reach multiplayer.

I don't think there should be a Halo 2 remake, but I wouldn't mind one being made. Replaying my favorite Halo game with reskinned graphics could be fun.

Also, regarding your hypothetical, I would like to see Halo 2 multiplayer included if a remake was released, as I never had the opportunity to play it before it was disabled. I doubt more people would play it than Halo 4, though.

Yes! I would love to see it.

Why? So the community would be even more divided than it already is?

The community is divided between Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4. I imagine that the Halo 2 multiplayer would draw in some from all three areas (the Halo 2/3 purists and veterans, the Reach players, those who hate Halo 4, or those who prefer Halo 2 over any other Halo out at the moment).

It could potentially (in the best case scenario) eliminate the Halo 3 and Reach divisions and make it between the two divisions of Halo 4 and Halo 2: Anniversary (just like it was when Halo 3 came out, or when Reach came out).

Of course the community couldn't get any WORSE in it's divisions (especially considering that Halo 5 would be on the horizon at this point) and people would just be playing the game they love. Collectively, the Halo community would still thrive.

^This would be the most likely outcome if 343i decided to do it, IMO. Halo 4 multiplayer with Halo 2's maps and a graphically updated campaign. Still seems like a good deal.

If they remake Halo 2, they better not ruin Sacred Icon and Quarantine Zone. Those two levels are the best missions in any Halo Game.

don't think they will but i'm still hoping they remake Halo 2 because it's the only game in the series so far with an awesome sword

  • 12.11.2012 4:48 PM PDT

I think that it deserves to be remade with HD graphics. As others have pointed out - yes Halo 3 is already HD so it isn't needed.

I'd wait and have it as a launch title for the Xbox 720. In the same way it launched Xbox Live properly it could help a new console.

No. CEA was horrid and such a shameless cash-in it makes me laugh out loud.

Re-releasing Halo 2, no doubt with the Chief wearing different armor and Grunts redesigned and so on, is just a cheap way for 343 make easy money off Bungies' hard work and legacy.

I'd prefer if 343 focus their efforts on H5 and make sure its actually completed and tested before release rather than continue to so shamelessly ride on the coat-tails of Bungie.
