Do You Really Want A Halo 2 Remake?
Apparently, 343 is doing this after release. I, for one, don't want to see this remake stuff any more. For them, it must be easy to copy the code over and update it in the engine and make money from limited work, otherwise, they wouldn't keep doing this crap.
If it did happen, I only want Campaign. I'd bet a Loonie, that's all it'd be anyway.
I'm on the fence with this one. If it does happen, I only want campaign.
Let's get true H:CE Live multiplayer before H2 gets Live support again.
Why not want it? Whats the worse thing that could happen? They either remake it and its not good or they remake it and its fantastic. More Halo is always good in my eyes.
well said
I absolutely hated the campaign, mainly due to playing as the Arbiter, cliffhanger ending, etc. Additional maps would be nice, however, I would also like original and creative maps rather than just remake after remake. If a small development team that doesn't take away resources from the Halo 4 team is creating this remake, then I don't really have a problem. But again, I probably wouldn't purchase the entirety of it; just download the maps.
I'd buy it, especially for the campaign in HD.
If H4 is a hit then I hope they do it like they did with the CE remake, that way it will bring in a number of great maps to the MP. IMO H2 had by far the best maps of the Halo series.
If they deside to do a stand alone remake I will only get it if its cheap or its an Arcade download. I still haven't gotten CE campaign because I've played it like 20 time through. I did download the CE maps and to be honest the CE MP maps really suck compared with the new maps. They are very unbalanced and hard to get around in.
Bolding mine.
I can't defend the Reach gameplay on those maps, but you guys didn't like CE, did you?
As for map remakes, I'd prefer to see a remake of Pit, Guardian, or Standoff in H4 than an H2 map. Or, maybe a third version of Chillout.
What:) I'm serious. Battle Creek is good, but Prisioner, Hang em High, Damnation they just don't play well. Sure in CE they where great just like the Facility was great in Goldeye. Lets face it we all sucked ass back then most of us never got good enough to really exploit these maps. Just the idea of running around with or friends killing each other in a great game far ahead of it time in the console world was all we need.
I was most shocked over the Battle Creek one. Hang 'Em High is a solid remake, but the other two are pretty crappy. Most of my dislike of Prisoner comes from me not really playing it much, though. In the grand scheme of Reach, 2.5 good maps out of 4 is damned good.
I agree with Jim, but I would also add Breakneck/Headlong as a decent map from Halo CEA. Ridgeline doesn't flow well and awards turtling in objective gametypes.
I like Headlong very much. I love Halo CE, but I was a terrible player back then I ran through the campaign with a AR the first 2 times til I found out the pistol was awsome and really only played the MP here and there.
The jet packs really killed the remakes and I'm not sure H2 maps would play well either if jet packs are a loadout.
yes i want a full Halo 2 Remake. Camp and MP... that is all.

agreed, same here.
Yeah, why not? I'd pay $40 for it in HD.
