Just my opinion, but they should release a remasted HD version of Halo 2 as a launch title with the New Xbox 720s.
NOW. Saying this, the new Halo 2 NEEDS:
- its ORIGINAL MULTIPLAYER (highest priority, just better graphics)
We are talking 1-50 matchmaking, super bounces, host, BXR’s, quad shots. THAT is what halo 2 was all about.
i GUARENTEE this is the make or break point with this game.
If they use halo 4’s MP with only the campaign redone, 343 will be done once and for all.
If they LISTEN TO WHAT THE FANS WANT, The halo franchise will be saved!
Countless Nostalgic fans would pay FULL pop to relive these memories and stay up all night to find a match and get their level 40 in team slayer/dubs/snipers.
Now, us fans have a VOICE that needs to be heard. Lets get the game that revolutionized multiplayer forever, back online in HD. I mean really, remember teabagging some random after no scoping him in the mouth when he had host shotgun? What else do you need in life?
The Campaign is important as well. 
Multiplayer would be really nice, and even nicer if all the Halo 3 and Reach custom options (including weapons and vehicles not in Halo 2) were added along with the Vista map editor and a Custom Games Browser alongside Matchmaking!
However, I’d love to see a skull menu in the Campaign as well as 3 of the deleted levels.
PS. Tragically misleading title. I tripped over my cat and hit the ground hard in my haste to get here.
hahaha sorry about your cat :p, and yeah i mentioned it was just my opinion at the start sorry you were mislead haha
and there is hope!!

I’m not trying to be smart, but you’re title’s wrong. May 21st Is NOT E3, it’s a different event. E3 is sometime early June (I want to say the 6th or 9th).
On topic, I completely, absolutely, 100% agree with you. I would literally CRY if they announced a H2A, I would be so happy. (there might be another hole in my wall too, next to the one I made when I watched the Halo 4 teaser)
343, FOR ONCE, LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY!!! DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING???
haha SORRY about the damn title i had to get your attention somehow and it is still possible
This needs to happen i have played over 5000 matches of h2 and as a BTB lover this needs to happen. Plus the best and longest campaign ever the only thing to add is terminals.
Even if they made it available on arcade this would beat the blam out of COD.
Why include the Super Bounce? It was a game breaking bug that was fixed later.
> Why include the Super Bounce? It was a game breaking bug that was fixed later.
Good point UC but I think most of us want to mess around in H2 as much as play, sometimes. Yes, to use a superbounce in a competitive match is bogus. However, just playing around and doing superbounces with friends is absolutely fun and fun is what we want. It makes us spend money.
I could be wrong UC, but I thought the banhammer came down so hard on superbouncers that people that tried to use them pretty much was stopped that way. I could still SB on Live right up to the end so I’m not sure which fix you are talking about.
You are correct my mistake, the super bounce was not removed from Halo 2 on the Xbox.
Why not patch the super bounce and introduce forge to replace the messing around aspect?

Well, forge is fun but it’s very hard to replace something like SB’s. So much fun, there’s really nothing like it so I’m not sure about that.
Haha okay the whole SB vs Forge thing is ridiculous. If they added either one, they would add both. It wouldn’t be one or the other.
But on to the more disappointing stuff.
Is there going to be a Halo 2 Anniversary? I would bet my xbox there will be.
Will it have its full multiplayer capability? Again, I’d bet my xbox, HOWEVER, I’d be betting against it.
343i may bring us our beloved campaign and a handfull of maps from Halo 2 (Who knows, maybe all of them?) however I could not see them bringing back the multiplayer. simply because it wasn’t their work. It may be an ODST ordeal, with a campaign disk then a Map Pack disk for Halo 4. THAT is what I would do. But H2 MM? Forget about it.
you can sip your haterade all you want i still have hope <3 lol
Give me the remastered campaign. Put the multiplayer maps on Halo 4 or 5 pending when this comes out. Give it the Halo CEA / Reach treatment. I’m good with that.
I think its definitely i good idea to remake halo 2 but we will see what the future holds.
> Give me the remastered campaign. Put the multiplayer maps on Halo 4 or 5 pending when this comes out. Give it the Halo CEA / Reach treatment. I’m good with that.
I respectfully disagree.
To anyone who truly knows halo 2, they completely HATED halo reach, such a disappointment. The re-mastered campaign yes, but it needs to revive lost memories not simply fuse the old and new. Honestly they probably will just give it a stupid CE / Reach treatment but I definetly would not buy it.
Remastered campaign I could play a lot of. But I don’t want to live in the past begging for halo 2 and/or 3 mm. H2 was very fun and I played with 2 gamertags on H2 till server shutdown. But I believe H4 mm is really fun as well. And will be much improved with the new weapon update coming out in june. We know for a fact there will not be H2 mm with the anniversary edition cause 343 wants us to play there game not bungies. If you still have H2 there is always system link.

Campaign is obviously important but 343 isn’t losing campaign players trust. The mp is what 343 really has to worry about.
I absolutely love the Halo 2 campaign art style so they really would have to watch what they do with it. I don’t think they could really mess it up though.
I didn’t get the chance to play Halo 2 on Live but the Campaign was amazing! If 343i
remakes this game for the new Xbox I’d say there’d almost have to be a multiplayer mainly because the fans want it and two no one want to play a campaign on the new Xbox and then switch over to the 360 to play on the crappy Halo 4 MM with new maps. its just a theory though!

He wasn’t talking about reach itself. He was talking about the system they used to sell CEA.
Anniversary integrated into Reach. He (and several others) want the same treatment for Halo 2. Not for it to be another game, but to have our beloved campaign and an integrated MP map pack into Halo 4/5
