Seriously, why are you always asking for a Halo 2 remake? Halo 2 PC is Halo 2 Anniversary.
It has all the features a remake would need:
What other do you need? I don’t understand you.

That’s because you never played H2 Live, so you have no idea what you are talking about. How’s matchmaking going on the PC? Love the ranking system on PC too. How’s the support from MS going for their Anniversary?
PC does <mark>not</mark> have all the features a remake would need.
Halo CE PC must also be it’s anniversary?
No, although it is better than the anniversary version. (Especially custom edition)
But Halo 2 PC is very buggy compared to the xbox version. Trust me, I have both.

-It’s not on their belovid Xbox
-The graphics aren’t that good
-All they care about is Match Making, some people want custom games gone from Halo forever
-A very limited map editor
-It’s a PC game, and there’s a few people who down right LOATH PC gamers and their games, and some want PC gaming to die.
-Microsoft doesn’t even support it very much
-It’s for Vista and newer, many people still have old Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and Windows 7 has been out for some time, and Windows 8 is on it’s way.
-It’s not popular as most would think.
-You can only use the key 5 times before it’s useless.
-Most people have computers that are for facebook, and not really for gaming, and can barely run Wow.

Halo 2 Vista is both a fixed and a buggy version of Halo 2, it fixes a few things that was buggy in Halo 2 Xbox, but it comes with it’s own set of bugs.

It’s a port - it’s not the Halo 2 I grew up with…

Another reason why it’s not popular, most people don’t want any more ports, they want a real game. But I don’t think Microsoft/343i is smart enough to release future Halo titles on both the PC and Xbox, but so far 343i is listening to the community that’s mostly full of Xbox gamers who generally dislike the PC side of gaming.

Every studio that makes games ports.
You create the PC version which ports directly to Xbox with some memory manipulation, the PS3 is a bit touchy and is generally cleaned up at the end.
Ports are what the entire industry does. It’s idiotic to think that a studio would create a game from scratch for each console… I would love Halo to move to more consoles. Sick of the console wars. 360 is easier to work on…

yeah, 360 uses similar OS coding as PCs… Also, I’m also sick of platform wars, I don’t like the PC vs Xbox vs PS, yeah each one has it’s pros, but they all have their cons, and most of those cons aren’t limited to one platform, like piracy, all platforms are effect by piracy in some way or another.
Oh, they all have their cons, it’s just that PC gaming has the most pros.
I want a Halo 2 remake for these reasons.
and
Between those 2 accounts out of the 6 I had over the course of Halo 2… Those 2 accounts had 15,904 games. I loved Halo 2 on the console… I would hate to have to switch over to the PC to have this game live on.
I would love to see Halo 2 remake for the next gen console. I don’t want it on the 360. I want it on the 720.
P.S., my main account has another 5207 games on H3… lol… Never got the 5 star general - only the 4… maybe one of these days i will go back for it… Just to get it

If each of those games averaged to be a short 8.5 minutes on those 2 accounts alone I spent just shy of 94 days playing Halo 2.
Add in my Halo 3 games and we have another 30.7 days.
Then take a look at my Halo Wars time played (it shows you on the main menu your total time) which has all been on my main account (started as Post Carnage V2 then changed the name to Post M9 Beretta and now back to XxX Post XxX) adds up to 45 1/3 days.
So - all in all, I have 170 days playing Halo with records… Let’s not add in all of my time playing Halo 1 customs with friends after school and on the weekends. I’ll just tack on an extra 40 days to call it a nice rounded 210 days of my life.
OR
2.3% of my life spent playing Halo games. I think that should go on a resume when applying to 343 right?
I want to play the Halo 2 campaign with modern graphics. I don’t want to spend a fortune to buy a computer so I can play a game which is meant to be played on the Xbox. Besides, Halo 2 Vista’s Campaign is identical to Halo 2’s. Not all Halo 2 fans are obsessed with the multiplayer. Now if you don’t want to play Halo 2: Anniversary, there’s always the option of going away and minding your own business. You have Halo 2 Vista, do you not?
> I want to play the Halo 2 campaign with modern graphics. I don’t want to spend a fortune to buy a computer
Yeah… That I do understand, it’s not worth the money unless your current computer is dying, and you want to get into PC gaming, or really don’t want to buy a computer full of ad ware from walmart.
> so I can play a game which is meant to be played on the Xbox
Yeah, keep thinking that dude, there are people who strongly disagree with you, and I really don’t want to have to explain why I think you’re wrong.
> Not all Halo 2 fans are obsessed with the multiplayer.
That is a very good thing, all tho it’d be nice if the fans who are not obsessed with multiplayer out numbered those who are obsessed with multiplayer.
> Now if you don’t want to play Halo 2: Anniversary, there’s always the option of going away and minding your own business.
There’s a fine line between “Not wanting to play Halo 2: Anniversary” and “Not wanting a Halo 2: Anniversary right now”
I for one, am on the later side of thing, tho I think it’d be awesome to see a anniversary version of Halo 2, with kick -Yoink- graphics of the modern age, but I don’t want 343i to spend all of their time, man power, and money on it when they have Halo 4 less than 7 months away. Yes it would be a great thing to see happen, but I much rather see them do it when they aren’t busy, so they can do a good job, and not half -Yoinked!- liked H2V was.
And with all of that said, I will say this, I won’t shed one tear, if there is no Halo 2 Anniversary edition.

Who’s demanding H2 right now? We call it the anniversary because in Nov of 2014 is the 10 years, not now. It has nothing to do with H4.
343 does not provide manpower and money for Halo, MS does this because 343 is a department of MS. So all the manpower needed to do H2 for 2014 and H5 the year after that is readily available. 343 is not a small operation and they can grow at will if enough money is on the line.
Do it when they are not busy? Is that a joke?
> Who’s demanding H2 right now? We call it the anniversary because in Nov of 2014 is the 10 years, not now. It has nothing to do with H4.
Never said any one is demanding it right now. Also, anniversary doesn’t mean 10 years, anniversary can mean yearly, ever heard married couples chat about their anniversary?
A better name for 10 year anniversary is Decennial, now if you said that, then I would be thinking, “Oh hey, they want it 10 years after Halo 2’s release”, Anniversary just says you want a remake, doesn’t say when you want it.
> 343 does not provide manpower and money for Halo, MS does this because 343 is a department of MS. So all the manpower needed to do H2 for 2014 and H5 the year after that is readily available. 343 is not a small operation and they can grow at will if enough money is on the line.
And yet, I still say I much rather see 343i/Microsoft focus on one game at a time.

No, it’s not a joke.

If a company or a department of a company is not busy, they fold. I was hoping it was a joke for your sake but when you get older you will know how naive that statement is. 343 is never going to be sitting around trying to think of what to do.
Your quote…There’s a fine line between “Not wanting to play Halo 2: Anniversary” and “Not wanting a Halo 2: Anniversary right now”. I would say that is referring to H2 Anniversary right now and I was referring to our (true H2 fans) demand about when we want H2 to be remade.
Your statement about the anniversary tells me you are very young. Halo CE Anniversary = 10 years…Halo 2 Anniversary = 10 years. You knew very well that a Halo 2 Anniversary is 10 years, just like everybody else, yet you argue away with nonsense.
At least type something that is rational.
“When they are not busy.” Lol
I don’t want a remake. I think in 2014, for the 10th year anniversary, 343 should work on the ‘Third Act’ that Bungie had to cut out of the original Halo 2. Even if it doesn’t work with the beginning of Halo 3, I really want to see what ambitious plans Bungie had for the climax of Halo 2.
A near direct PC port is hardly a remake.

I thought the levels cut from Halo 2, were just the beginning of Halo 3?
