I have a few problems with the Halo announcements.
- They said that there would be Halo News every day if E3.
Where is day 1 news? We had The Announcement of Halo The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 beta yesterday but today nothing but a 3 minute interview telling us nothing we don’t already know.
- The Halo MCC trailer only shows us a snippet of a cut scene that then turns in to a Halo 5 trailer and then 5 minutes of the very beginning of Cairo Station. The Halo CE A trailer had snippets of 5 missions, 2 cut scenes, and was overall a much better trailer. Don’t get me wrong the cut scene they showed is one of my favorites and looks great but it was too short and focused more on Halo 5 instead of Halo 2.
- I have been looking around and have asked 343 on twitter but have yet to get an answer on this.
In the interview on IGN, Dan Ayoub says that in the beginning and end of some, if not all, of the Remastered Halo 2 cut scenes there will be cut ins to Halo 5 like the one in the Halo MCC trailer. If this is true, can we turn that off?
If I want to play Halo 2 remastered only for halo 2 I don’t want cut ins of halo 5. I’m fine with finding terminals and Easter eggs in the Missions but it would be stupid to make you watch halo 5 related stuff in the Halo 2 Cut scenes.
If you are a new person to halo and playing through all the games in this collection, this wouldn’t make sense and doesn’t to me.
If you remember Halo CEA they had additional cutscenes but were only triggered when activating terminals. it’s more likely going to be that because they said terminals are going to be in Halo 2A which means that’s more likely how it will go
Go watch the interview. It’s call the E3 2014 Halo surprise I believe. He is not talking about terminals he’s talk about Halo 2 Remastered Cut scenes.

- Day One & Day Two articles were merged into one.
- The Halo MC Collection & the Halo 2: Anniversary campaign will tie in heavily to Halo 5: Guardians and the story of Agent Locke by the looks of it, hence what you saw in the trailer at E3.
- You can absolutely turn those off if you choose to play in Classic mode rather than remastered. Of course, it will always be optional to view them as you can skip them too.
- You skipped it!
- The same thing happened with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - terminals which tied directly into Halo 4.
You’ve only listed one problem with the product itself, but as Little Moa says, just switch to the Classic graphics and you will get the Classic cutscenes. Or just skip through the bits you don’t want.
