CE sucked online and wasn’t designed for it anyway. If they ever manage to have a CE’s identical multiplayer with Reach’s netcode I’m all for it.
just to let you know if it already isnt like halo 2 they wount change it because they have already started making the game… so dont be disappointed if its not like it, its probably not gonna be like any of the halo games because theres probably not going to be covenant…

I’d rather have the game be similar to CE because CE had a better sandbox.
They should just focus on making the best Halo they can. It’s up to 343 to understand what it means.
Making a game like an older game is a step backwards, not forwards. Not saying they should ignore what Halo CE and 2 have done for the franchise, but know and understand what would propel the franchise without ruining it.
> I asked for Halo 2 and not CE for the sole reason that CE didn’t have a BR.
This one sentence threw me off. No BR? I wouldve gone with that the console version of CE didnt even have MP. The game will be set years after Halo 3, we might not get the BR back, we might get something new entirely. Or both the DMR and the BR will return.

This exactly!

Reach wasn’t even close to CE gameplay wise. If 343 actually goes back to CE’s roots we would have stronger weapons and fast paced gameplay.

Agreed.
Build off of Halo 2 and 3

Oh Halo 2 those were the days… The days of the BR, Headlong, ImSuck and the days of HMV and Hollywood Halo. I miss those days

Exactly!!! Oh man, I would love this, the feel of H2 was so amazing to me and it’s not just nostalgia because i still LAN it and play campaign on a consistent basis with my buddies. While I love Halo 2 online, it did have it’s problems such as the widespread cheating, but that’s mainly because of how new XBL was. Words cannot describe how happy I, and many of my longtime Halo fan friends would be, if they made gameplay very similar to Halo 2 but definitely not an exact clone.
> Oh Halo 2 those were the days… The days of the BR, Headlong, ImSuck and the days of HMV and Hollywood Halo. I miss those days
Yes! I loved Hollywood Halo and HMV and FrankSixer haha. But definitely, I miss H2 so much.
I agree with this topic. I would say “make it like Halo CE”, but then I’d have to take out the BR, dual wielding, vehicle boarding, melee weapons, armour, gametype and map customization and even the ability to choose your species. That would be downgrading quite a lot compared to what we have today.
> Lol no if anything make it like Halo CE.
K we’ve alll seen that video and the only reason it was like that is because internet connections and XBL was HORRIBLE back then. In CE, you didn’t have to worry about lag affecting where your shots hit.
He said make it similar, with a few tweaks, these would obviously be one of the tweaks to catch up with the technological advances.
EDIT: nvm, you edited your post now i fully agree
