Well… I was thinking can 2 halo games possibly come out next or this year? Halo Wars 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary? And no it won’t take a long time to develop each one. Why? Halo Wars was created by Ensemble. Not bungie or 343i. It’s a whole different company. Ensemble can create Halo Wars 2, and 343i could make a halo 2 anniversary? Agreed? Discuss your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas. I have my halo 2 anniversary ideas. Please read https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst205448_Halo-2--Anniversary---Official-Thread--Ideas.aspx =) Thanks. Bye!
Ensemble is no longer a company. Halowars was their last game.
Halo 2: Anniversary would come out no sooner than 2014. If it’s gonna come out at all, it’s gonna come out a decade after the initial game released.
Personally, I AM in the party that wants an H2: Anniversary, but I don’t want it to become a theme in Halo games. Just the two Xbox originals needs some spit and polish.
And then Halo 5 shouldn’t come out til 2015.
Didn’t people want a sequel to ODST too?
That could be a possibility.
Personally I would like them to release Halo 2 Anniversary as a Next-box title.
But it would be great if it came as part of a trilogy including CEA and a strait up copy of Halo 3, so that they are all on the Next-box and playable for the next 10 years at least. Who knows, depending on what disc format they are using, they could fit all 3 on the same disc.
On of the reasons I am suggesting the above is because there may be an issue with backwards compatibility. I don’t think there will be, but I did read somewhere that it could be an issue as a result of the new console containing so much new tech.
You have the right idea there. Halo 2:A in 2014 and H5 in 2015 (or in the late -14).
343, just let us play H2 campaign with better graphics and some added goodies (like Terminals). Forget 'bout the MP, make some remake maps for H4.
I heard somewhere that Microsoft likes the idea that there is a Halo game made every year. I’d hate that. Every Halo Game has to be well made and thought. And that takes time. Otherwise we’ll end up with ***** like CoD and other games with annual release.
I’m done with halo should it turn into Call of Halo: futuristic warfare 5.
No yearly releases please. I’d rather 343I take their time.
I don’t see Halo 2 Anniversary happening. 343i announced a long time ago that the “Main games” in the Halo franchise will be released every two years from now on, instead of every 3.
So if Halo 5 is meant to come out in 2014, I’d doubt they’d release Halo 2: Anniversary in the same year.
I could see a 2013 Halo Wars 2, or ODST 2 being a possibility though.
Could there be two Halo games released in the next year or two, yes, but I wouldn’t limit those games to the big let down that is Halo 2 Anniversary, and Halo Wars 2, there’s more games than just those that can be released.

Yes, the problem is the “time” it will take to make the game.
I can’t see them releasing another Halo on the current gen. Just not enough time has passed since Halo 4’s release, which seemed rushed to say the least, so I doubt they had time to be simultaneously working on another title. That said, I can only figure Halo Wars 2, or something along those lines that another studio could have been working on.
It’s hard to tell what -Yoink!- has planned for the Nextbox launch, with it’s 2 flagships (GoW & Halo) just releasing titles. I’m unsure what launch titles will be available, I’m leaning towards Cod, Dead Rising, or Viva Pinata.
