A Halo2 remake, remove the glitches...

If a Halo2 Remake is on the way, what do you think 343i should do about the glitches
should they remove them ALL ? should they keep them ?

IMO they should only keep the BxR, BxB and RRxYY glitches.
All superbounces should go

All of the glitches should go away. ALL of them.

Halo 2’s matchmaking was ruined for me because of that.

I agree, I like some glitches but I would also love to have the game without them.

Super bounces weren’t bad because they took more skill to pull off, not to mention they could only be done in one pot. Button combos are broken in more ways then one. They encourage cheap tricks rather than skills like strafing and aiming, especially because the aim assist in halo 2 was so damn high. Not only that but they were random, you had no way of mowing if your opponent knew them or if he was going to even use one. Also made melee inconsistent. The worst thing about them was that they were easy to pull off. Halo 2 was known to have button combos by most people, but in halo ce and 3, only a few knew they existed(yes halo 3 did have button combos online) this is because they were incredibly hard to do, but in halo 2 just about anyone could do it, and it encouraged gameplay that goes against hat halo is about.

Ps: don’t take this to team beyond. They will just tell you yes based on limited reasons and bash each other aimlessly.

Halo 2 Anniversary wouldn’t be a remake, just like Halo: CEA, it would just update the graphics and maybe add a few little extras in the campaign (Terminals, Skulls, etc.)

Coding is very delicate and trying to fix old bugs might just make things worse. Assuming they’d use the old multiplayer, that is.

I disagree. Superbounce destroyed entire games. However it is all opinions…
But I would prefer if everything is removed.

Here’s my input on this.

If they treat it like they did HCEA. All Glitches will stay, but maybe a small handful of major game breaking ones caused by dual engines, other than that, they’ll most likely not even touch any glitches that wasn’t fixed in Halo 2’s life time.

For those that think halo 2 anniversary won’t have mp.

Until 343i comes out and officially say “We’ve had Halo 2 Anniversary in the works, and it has original Halo 2 MP on Xbox One.” I’m still going to roll as if there will not be any MP.

Well when Phil spencer says if halo 2 anniversary was in the works that the main focus would be mp, I would say that’s confirmation enough. Why does everyone think that 343i’s are top dog when it comes to halo. 343i’s answer to Microsoft period.
And I trust Phil spencer way more the 343i.

It depends on the glitches in question.

Fun, non-exploitative ones can stay.

ONLY glitches in Matchmaking should be removed. Other than that, every glitch should be retained. Glitches in Campaign and Custom Games were a huge part of Halo 2’s charm.

Why? Because 343i is in charge of all things Halo, so if they officially say something is happening, it’s happening. Phil Spencer can say it, BUT, who’s to say that interview isn’t a like, or not even Phil Spencer saying there will be a Halo 2 Anniversary, it could just be him saying “If there was to be a Halo 2 Anniversary, we’d have to get the MP right.”.

Wrong place.

But.

Yeah- it’s so easy to say Halo 2’s multiplayer was perfect, but it was an unfinished mansion… You didn’t need mods to cheat the map.

One. I never said he confirmed halo 2 anniversary I said he pretty much confirmed that if there was one that mp would be the main focus. So in other words IF there is one it would have mp.

And yes Microsoft says what’s what period. They own halo they own 343i and they are 343i source of money.
They say what’s what.

Omg man like really. I swear all you guys do on here in complain. Stop being so paranoid all the time.

> ONLY glitches in Matchmaking should be removed. Other than that, every glitch should be retained. Glitches in Campaign and Custom Games were a huge part of Halo 2’s charm.

It absolutely boggled my mind how many secrets Outskirts and Metropolis had.

Especially that wall-texture map of the entire level.

See and that’s the problem. There is one side that will absolutely want the game entirely untouched, multiplayer included, and want the glitches there, and there’s another that absolutely despises them.

I would argue for glitches, because I spent so much time doing them. I loved the bounces and the sword fly’s and all of that because I never played H2 multiplayer competitively. It was all just random mindless fun to me, and to remove that is to remove part of why I loved the game. On the other hand, I can totally understand why people don’t like them and would want them gone. They’re gamebreaking, map breaking and potentially fun breaking depending on who you ask.

So where is 343i going to draw the line? Are they going to sadden folks like me who loved the glitches or those who want the multiplayer without all the bs that the glitches brought?

Call me paranoid, but until April 1st has passed I’m still suspecting H2April fools.

Non-exploitive ones should stay. I don’t see a game of “hide behind the invisible wall” ending well online…

But to be real, they were fun. Containment felt as huge as Delta Halo almost.

People who support the implementation of the old glitches are blinded by nostalgia. Those glitches were game breaking, and if released in a title (yes even an anniversary title) in today’s gaming aged, it would be a catastrophic failure. I just got off an XBC match of Halo 2 and the glitches are abused so much to get advantages over a player for an entire match. While I do agree that the glitches made the game what it is, the fact of the matter still remains that it shouldn’t be implemented now.
