HELL YEA. bring it on.

If this is true, the greatest news ever..

[Reggiez]

Well I never played the original Halo 2 when it came out so I would be thrilled to get it.

Really liked the Halo Anniversary game and if Halo 2 can get the same overhaul I will be getting it. Nothing wrong with old games if they are redone with a bit of quality work (in my opinion).

Unfortunately the only way I'll ever play Halo 2 is if there is an anniversary edition, so I really hope they seriously consider it.

You never played it?! Great Campaign

[Destro]

I was thinking about Halo 2 the other day, if i played on PC i would redo it and get the achievements and all, but i don't. I still got my xbox version and was thinking of redoing it. Halo 4 really push me into the halo story and its been a LOOOONG time since i done Halo 1 and 2. Im gonna pick the anniversary version very soon. So if they do it ill be happy.... but i can live without it.

Remaking Halo 3 tough... seem pointless and dumb.

[Jet1337]

There was a rumor of this before. They said they were too busy to remake Halo 2, but would do it if they had the time. I don't see them making it any time soon if they're already busy making Halo 5.

I had a shitty Halo 2 experience. Lots of pop-in. If you played it on the 360 it wasn't there. My xbox was shitty and every time I played campaign, the disc drive would make deep scratches on the disc and I couldn't play campaign. I guess that's what happens when you take your xbox apart and not put it back together with skill like those sweatshop asians.

cool, more halo achievements!

Mm.. Had to know this was coming, although I am excited for it. Is that strange?

That's a beautiful screen of cover art. But I doubt it's real I miss his armor in Halo 2, it was much better than Halo 3's armor IMO.

Sometimes fan art is 100x better than the actual box art LOL!

And I absolutely agree about the H2 armor.

They should at least release the multiplayer intact with splitscreen or system link support!

There's no reason why Halo CEA couldn't have had its multiplayer retained still. Not everyone necessarily wants/needs LIVE support. To cut such a feature is such a disappointing waste and given that that release was about reliving the original game itself it'd make perfect sense to have retained the very feature that gave people great memories in the way they had to back then anyway (i.e. splitscreen/link).

I agree, multiplayer made the game. The campaign was one of the weakest in the series, with some parts purely an exercise in frustration. Poorly executed skulls and secrets, dodgy pop-in and now I look back some pretty blocky graphics too.

But the best multiplayer maps in the the entire Halo series! Best balancing of weapons, best use of space, simple but effective matchmaking UI, clan support. It was just awesome!

Shame about the net code, at least that has improved....

Oh...

I've absolutely gotta agree. Split screen made the Halo experience for my friends and I. There was nothing like going to my friend's basement and playing 5v5 with multiple xboxs, and tvs ultimately having an amazing experience.

This is purely subjective. Blocky graphics...? It was made in 2004, what do you expect.

Something just tells me you haven't played Minecraft.

Blocky graphics right there for you, bro. I don't get why that shit wasn't remade when it was ported to XBLA.

Not necessarily.

Sabre Interactive Actually did the Development work on Halo CE Anniversary.

And to all the People Assuming they will remake Halo CE Again - I wouldn't get too excited. Besides, did anyone read the whole article?

It seems pretty sketchy to me.

[Hottub Cowboy]

I hope this is true as I loved Halo 2.

Same year as MGS: Snake eater, KotOR 2 and Dead or Alive ultimate. Just saying.

But fair enough, I was being a little harsh. I just remember staring at rocks and grass for ages on Halo:CE being amazed and found the H2 textures to be a little bland.

It seems to me that Halo Anniversary just had a texture upgrade (and a few invisi-barriers messed with, the scoundrels). Doing Halo 2 would take the same effort. Would love to play all those maps again, even on system link only but I don't see why they couldn't allow online customs at least.

Sticky King on Midship = best game ever.

It's all good. If they do decide to remake Halo 2, I think they should just do an HD remake of the Campaign and list it for $30-40. To re-do the whole Multiplayer too, or even some classic fan-favorite maps like they did for Halo CE Anniversary...well, as fun as it would be, that would just take away from Halo 5 development. Oh, and they best not dare mettle with the glitches from Campaign. I remember skipping half the levels at times from Grenade Jumps and bringing the Banshee into the Control Room and slaughtering Tartarus with it

Bolded for truth!

[PendiRulz]

Halo 2 remake would be great! Never played it ...

[Destro]

Right now we pretty much have an Halo every year... but a new MP every 2 year, for exemple ODST used the multi of Halo 3, Halo 1 remake used the multi of Reach and such. Only putting a map pack. So far for me i think its pretty good this way, i hate how i can't even enjoy a MP like COD and prestige a few times before the next one is release... only to be pretty much the same thing with a few perks, killstreaks and a couple gun name change... And worst... releasing 60 bucks out of DLC maps only to change game 5 months later... ahem...

So well to get back on Halo, im sure Halo 5 won't come next year, it would be too quick, so the chances for an Halo 2 remake, or something else but based on the Halo franchise, is high. Maybe Halo Wars 2..., an Halo focused on another character(Lasky, or Palmer.. dunno) but im sure they will release something... Its the trend now to release 1 game a year.. Even Gears of War get a new game only 1 year and a half after GOW3... i wouldn't surprise if they make this a pattern for an annual release later...

[Kerchacopolypse]

they should completely remake the halo 2 multiplayer as it was. Not what they did with CE were they just remade maps
