These are my personal opinions on what 343 should do IF they are to produce the Halo 2 Anniversary edition. Post any of your own ideas below.
-
The ability to be a Spartan from either Halo 1, or Halo 2 (this includes weapons, vehicles, physics and any other stuff). This is mainly due to the disappointment of Halo CEA’s multi-player, 343 should have put Halo 1 multi-player on Xbox Live, it was always more popular than Halo 2 on PC. The player should be able to choose what mode they want to play in before they search for players in Machmaking.
-
VERY FAST GRAPHICS CHANGING SPEED. in Halo CEA, you had to wait a few seconds for the graphics to load, meaning that you can get killed easily. But with the 720, it should have a much faster changeover time.
-
New and old playlists. New players that like newer things can go and play dominion, but other - more loyal to Halo 2 fans may go to play KOTH. This will increase the number of gamers who play the game, and it also gives the player more control over what game he/she wants to be playing.
These are just few of the ideas that I have, but I want to find out what YOU want to see in this game (if it were to be made), so please reply 
The ability to play as an elite in multiplayer, or I will not buy a Halo 2 remake.
aside form being to keep playing as an elite,I’d also like to see them do some forge to,sot hat way there can be more to be offerd.
Here’s my list on what I want to see in H2:
-
Forge
-
Theater in all including Campaign!
-
Ranking system like H3 or H4/Reach
-
Elite/Spartan armor customizations should be achieved ither if you rank up or getting achievements.
-
Skulls. H2 had skulls in there and they should be able to be obtained in any difficulty.
Lastly: 343 must use ither H3 or Reach models for H2 Anniversary! If they don’t, 343 will get a yelling from fans. H4 has less Covenant ranks in there plus they are ugly looking as hell! H3 and Reach is best to go with because of the ranks. Those games have more ranks than H4.
As for the maps they shouldn’t touch that ither and include muliplayer to be available on H2 to play on. Basically 343 should go with what they did on CEA but add Multiplayer, Forge, Custom Games, and Theater. If they wanna be a success on H2 they must listen to us and not get us mad if they screw up.
There’s no ranking system in H4/Reach that is worth keeping. In addition, the one in H2 was better than 3, why go to something inferior? Just curious.

If they do what you describe, it would be an H2 abomination, not H2. My opinion is most people, especially the people who played H2 Live back in the day, just want H2 back on Live without all the bells and whistles. Do as little as possible to honor a great game.
You are right about one thing, 343 better listen to the majority. There’s a reason CEA MP was not a big hit…it was not CE, it was an abomination and they better not do it again.

I can already get a clear picture in my mind at what can possibly happen: 343i will release Halo 2 Anniversary in 2014. Instead of including the classic MP experience, they will release a Halo 4 Map Pack featuring many Halo 2 remakes (and one Halo 3 remake). At first, players will be excited for this until they come to the harsh realization that it’s déjà vu. Chaos will then begin to ensue.
The change thing… We’re fortunate enough to even have that in CE. It blows my mind every single time going from old to new. Be grateful that it’s even a part of the game. I doubt they could make it any faster. It’s like the work of god… If Halo 2 HD ever does happen we will be lucky to have the switch graphics feature. You should never die when switching as it isn’t a feature that is intended to be use while fighting. I just like to play on easy and enjoy the beautiful art.
No changes to Halo 2- Be careful what you wish for kids.
I just want 343i to get this done quickly and quietly, then those of us who have been suffering during the Halo 4 affair can just get back to playing real Halo and never have to worry about anything again.
CTF on Relic… Waterworks… Zanzibar… now THAT’S HALO
