We all know of the hype Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary drew with their fancy-schmancy graphics, sounds, and music. Oh, and the skulls. Halo 2 is likely next on the list, possibly with the ability to keep skulls like Assassin, Sputnik, Blind, etc, new music, new sounds, and Halo 4 graphics.
Here is the reason there probably won’t be a Halo 3 remake in 2017.
Achievements. If someone can do it once, it’s all the possibility they can do it twice. The achievements people have with the original Halo 3 will just be redone as they race through the Legendary run that they picked up for more Gamerpoints.
Pre-existing skulls. They’ll all stick with you throughout someone’s life, their kids’ life, for whatever reason they might play it, and so on. Nothing left but to recollect them for easy achievements.
Terminals. They already exist, and the achievement for the terminals exists. Nothing left to expose, anyhow.
Maxed out visuals and audio. Maybe there could be changes to some faces, but it won’t be enough for a whole remake. The sounds might be redone, too. The problem is that the graphics are already nice, so remaking it in Halo 5 graphics would probably just add a few more polygons to the textures.
And these are half-decent reasons why Halo 3 Anniversary won’t exist practically.
Of course, it will probably still be made for the moolah to stuff to everyone’s undergarments.
I don’t think it will be remade. Maybe they could just take the existing skulls and find new hiding places for them. And they could keep the terminals but add some video ones on Earth. I don’t need it to be remade by any stretch, I would much rather have Halo 2 HD. That would be the best.

There could be animated terminals.

Halo 3 is overall the favourite Halo multiplayer experience of fans. Personally, I would buy it just because my stats will be recorded online (since Bungie no longer records Halo 3 stats), not to mention how much better/less laggy the servers will be and how many more players there will be. And there could even be new mp maps.
Theres no reason for Halo 3 to get a remake either does HAlo 2. It was done for Halo CE because that was the game that started it all. It was a tribute to the game and its fans.
I just hope they port all the Halos on 360 to the next xbox with live service. Also Halo 2 should be remade so we can play online again. Also so people like me who were to young to understand the game at the time it came out. I think 343 did a good job on Halo CEA so I trust them with a Halo 2 & 3 remake.
Implementing a Halo 4-like lighting system in Halo 3 would be a great win for mankind. You might think the graphics are maxed out, but just wait four years and tell me that same thing on this new console.
