Okay so I have a lists of request for the Halo 2 HD remake. Sure there’s a lot of debate about Phil Spencer quote about “discussing about it” and some fans would fight saying that it’s unlikely or it’s likely for release. Well since I’m a “believer” of this Halo 2 HD remake I have a some requests for the game.
Unlockable achievements
Have a menu where you could activate and deactivate skulls
Switch from HD graphics to old graphics
Have Co-op over Xbox Live
Open back up the multiplayer servers for Halo 2 and have the graphics updated for that as well (Including re-mastered multiplayer maps) But PLEASE DON’T USE HALO 4 or 5’s multiplayer engine. Also keep the super jump glitches
Make skulls collectable
Put in terminals
Redesign the weapons and make them look pretty in HD graphics
Re-master the weapon’s sound effects as well as grenade sound effects
Re-master the vehicles
(This one is my personal favorite) Now I could understand by the poll I set out a few weeks back saying that you guys are more in favor into something big than a 10 minute demo. So here’s my request. Make the Halo 2 E3 demo playable for everyone to play. We should now have the technology and gaming systems to run it no problem. Think about making it an unlockable. But I’m still debating about how we should unlock it. Whether by beating the whole game on legendary, or just simply collecting all the skulls and reading all the terminals. I understand it’s almost a long gone demo but it’s a missing mission none of us played. I’ll set out a poll for that too.
So anyways thanks so much for your time guys appreciate you voting on the poll let’s hope that a Halo 2 HD remake does happen!
Should they Re-master Halo 2 then i’m rather confident they’ll be doing it ALMOST as Anniversary was done. Ofcourse the multiplayer should be based on how Halo 2s own worked instead.
But wether MP returns or not… I don’t care. What i want is to relive the memories with todays technology.
Right, I too don’t really care if the MP of Halo 2 doesn’t come with it or not. But I still would like to see the MP of Halo 2 completely remade with cleaner graphics. Halo CEA stirred a lot of outrage just because Halo CE’s original multiplayer never made it into the game. Due to the fact that 343 didn’t want to create another multiplayer engine and interrupt Halo Reach’s multiplayer engine. I actually kind of agree with that because Halo Reach was only out for a year at the time.
So it probably would’ve been a bad idea if they just quickly threw away a multiplayer engine that only existed for a year. So if the Halo 2 MP doesn’t see the light of day I wouldn’t really mind much.

I agree with everything, except for the highlighted portion. I would strongly hope that the Halo 2 remake will give eventual access the Halo 5 beta.
-Don’t attach Halo 2 Anniversary’s multiplayer to Halo 5’s like Halo CE Anniversary was attached to Halo: Reach. That just opens the floodgates for disappointment.
-If you’re so worried about your multiplayer community being split, release a bundle having both Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 5. And also remember that the Halo community is a rather large one, so search times will most certainly not be an issue anyways.
-Fix the glitches (BXR, Super Bouncing, etc.) If you’re gonna bring this game back, fix it first.
-Campaign should be post-patch so Campaign and Multiplayer are similar.
-Bring back all the maps.
-No. You don’t have to add Forge and Theater mode to this game, this is an Anniversary, not your full fledged new title.
-Give us a population counter similar to Reach so that you’d see how many players are on in total and how many in each playlist.
-Considering that this game will most likely have much fewer players than Halo 5, keep the playlist layout simple.
Example:
Rumble Pit
Double Team
Team Slayer
Team Skirmish
Team Hardcore
Team Snipers
Team SWAT
Big Team Battle
I bet Halo 5 multiplayer will be the exact same thing as Halo 4’s. Just with updated graphics, features, and weapons. Though I do agree we need to be able to beta test the game before it’s release in 2014. But I don’t see why we should take a beta (That would probably last 2-3 weeks.) over a multiplayer service that will last probably forever if Halo 2 HD ever sees the light of day on the Xbox One. If not then the Xbox 360 will cover it but maybe for a couple more years.
I’d rather have 343 be spending their resources on fixing Halo 4 and making Halo 5 than remaking a game that is part of the distant past. And even if we did get a Halo 2A, it would just be the Campaign, not the deeply missed Multiplayer which is the source of all of the demand.
Okay right! But that’s what you want. Sure they’ll probably won’t listen to us and give us just the engine of Halo 4 or 5’s multiplayer. But to be honest I feel that the game’s graphics engine and bugs need to be fixed with the so called “HD treatment”. Regardless if we get the long missed multiplayer or not it won’t impact my life in any way and I will be happy that I got a sharper looking campaign. Even if the game doesn’t see the light of day then I won’t be crying about because yes you’re right they should focus fixing Halo 4. (Which they’re already barely doing) So if they could find the resources and time to make a half a$$ed tablet game to make some of this $$$. Or if they have the time and resources to jerk around their fans to make even more of this $$$. Then they should be able to have enough of time, resources, and this $$$$$$$$ to make a Halo 2 remake. I mean this isn’t a independent company we’re talking about here this is a huge business. They still get a cut off license Halo products that are still floating around at retailers. Which again like I said if they have enough to make and a load of resources to burn out of their computers they should be able to make a Halo 2 remake. But again if the game doesn’t see the light of day then I’ll happily be by your side to say meh it is what it is. But for now I still hope for it.

Well it may be some of the demand but I know (including myself) People also/only want the Campaign.
I personally don’t give a hoot about if they remake the Multiplayer
I just want the campaign with beautiful new graphics. See the Gravemind without previous images stuck on the screen.
and a Re-orchestrated Halo 2 OST Vo.1 and 2
Tom Salta learned a lot from CEA and I only see it having a positive effect on future Halo OST’s

Agreed. I’d much prefer a redone Campaign. Multiplayer would be nice, but it’s not strictly necessary. I wasn’t happy with the music in CEA, so I hope they’d do a better job with H2A. Halo 2 doesn’t work very well on the Xbox 360 and H2V is for all intents and purposes entirely redundant.
As for resources, 343i wouldn’t be making it. How many times do people have to say that? They’d outsource it to companies like Saber Interactive and Certain Affinity, just like they did with CEA, so stop using that excuse that’s been debunked so many times. 343i would be expending minimal resources to oversee and direct the project, that’s it.

Couldn’t say it any better myself.
I’d take the campaign over MP anyday!
I’ve already put 3-4 years into the MP of Halo 2. I loved it… Truely i did. But today it would be rather boring to me.
Now the campaign i never get tired of at all! But i would like if they actually REMADE the game. Not just an HD new graphics version, of the whole thing.
Make Chief feels less… Heavy. He always felt like he’d been going at the McCovy burgers man. Like a little more Halo 3 style perhaps.
And do keep the MARK VI armor as it is! Don’t want the Halo 4 looks, and then afterwards play Halo 3 and just glare… At how the armor morphs as it sees fit T_T
I dont care if they use the halo 4 or 5 engine or if multiplayer is not brought back. I think Halo 2’s multiplayer is in the past and now we got halo 4 multiplayer to enjoy. I just want the campaign remastered with achievements included. Just so I can go back and play the Halo 2 campaign without it glitching out on me 30 minutes in. I also think with all the different environments in the game, it will look stunning remastered.
Like a little more Halo 3 style perhaps.
