According to the Halo Fest panel of a few minutes ago, a Halo 2 Anniversary is a certain possibility if the demand for that game is high enough.
Now I know a lot of people have already been asking for it before, so this makes it easy: 343i, since you basically “asked” us to do this:
Please give us a Halo 2 Anniversary!
Who’s with me?
I am.
Me! I’m with you! Ignore all the people who say they don’t want it because they don’t ever have a good reason (and they’d still buy it anyway, though they may deny it now). 
Halo 2 Anniversary I dont mind…but I’d rather wait and see how things go. Rumors are flying that the new 360 will be announced at E3 next year so Id like to see Halo 2 anniversary on the next console if this is true.
I wantz it but we need to wait 3 years.
lol. i think that everyone who played halo 2 back in the day wants a remake, as long as it remains unaltered that is…
I’d love to have a remake of my favourite game. But i don’t want it to be a part of another game like the CE remake.
I want it to stand alone with it’s original game engine.

With better graphics of course, and maybe those missions Bungie deleted due to time constraints…? 
> Me! I’m with you! Ignore all the people who say they don’t want it because they don’t ever have a good reason (and they’d still buy it anyway, though they may deny it now).
The best legitimate answer is the fact that Halo CE is being remade for the purpose of celebrating ten years of Halo in general, not just ten years for itself. Halo 2 being released as a 10 year anniversary for itself doesnt serve as high a purpose as Halo CEA. However, I could see it as a title for the 15th Anniversary of Halo.
count me in, as long we get the real halo 2 MP with it.
If it could have the CEA maps added ASWELL then yeah 
I’m all game for it, but they should use it as an opporunity to release the game with all the content that bungie said they had to cut and made the single player, in their own words “a failure”.
The single player had a lot of potential that it only partially lived up to.
I’d prefer they focus on the new trilogy, but if the company expands massively and can afford to start a new side-project I’d love it.
Imagine all of Halo 2’s environments in true HD…
O_O
Maybe in the future

To be honest I think H2 turned out far better than they thought it did at that time.
Changing things in the storyline of the campaign wouldn’t be wise for several reasons, the first one obviously being a massive canon redo which is sure to evoke a LOT of hate.
What would be better is if parts of those levels they cut would be remade and used as Firefight maps. Best thing to do in my opinion, as it would finally give us a glimpse of the levels that never saw the light of day but it would also mean finally some Firefight maps that aren’t familiar through the campaign.
And then the cut E3 2003 demo level should also be included as a FF map (not entirely of course ;))
As for the multiplayer: preferably as a standalone and not like CEA running inside another game’s engine, unless H4 (or 5) has gameplay mechanics that feel like that of H2/3.
Why make it?
Well people have been asking for a remake of H2 ever since CEA was announced. Appreciation for the game is growing stronger and stronger these days (finally!). People have been wanting Halo 2 to be brought back ever since the servers got taken down. And last but not least: I would say the first 2 Halos were the defining ones, the most important ones for the Xbox and the only 2 that deserve a remake between now and 5 years from now. The impact of these two games was greater than that of any other Halo after it and they both deserve to be brought to the present in my humble opinion.
if there is a halo2 anniversary. than i want it on a new Xbox console, not on the 360 again.
