Why would you want that scripted mess in a Halo game?

And people say Nintendo recycles their games...

Right, because two remastered editions of a game (one not even confirmed) warrants a snarky response.

Would mean since 2007 almost every year a Halo game.

Sorry, but if they're going to remake a game, they should wait at least 2 generations so the improvements are obvious.

Milking that Chief!
In 2 years they will release a remastered Halo 3?
Ironic, since 2007 wouldve been the year the fight was finished.

These comment always come off as ridiculous. "Gotta put a snarky remark here so I can complain about something I never will or have the intention to play. I feel real good."
By the seventh million Halo thread you think people would move on. Tells us more about what your intention are.

Those aren't remakes. They're re-releases, which don't typically get sold for $60+ dollars.
It would need a lot of work (just like the rest of the game) but it could be a neat idea (or not, I don't know).
Yeah. Shall we compare the amount of Halo games to the amount of Mario games and Spin offs? When's the last Cart game we've seen the master chief in? What about dancing games and sports titles?

Um what?
Because every single Halo fan in the world would like to play that level.

Why bother with the campagin ? Everyone will play MP right ?
And that will seriously hurt Halo 4 community ?
So they should remake Halo 2 MP for Xbox 8 as launch app ?

Would buy as long as it has online co-op and full multiplayer.

Because early scripted demos are supposed to develop into awesome procedural full games. Not bringing that demo section into the game virtually as-is was a huge mistake, cost Halo 2 a lot of hearts and minds. So many fans were desperately looking forward to getting to play that part for almost two years.
I think he's hoping there'll be new vehicles in the game?
Meh, hard to be excited for the weakest campaign in the series. Hopefully it'll port over better than CEA did.
You don't think the difference between CE and CEA is noticeable?
Besides if this launches in 2014, it'll be no the 720, it would be a 2 generation wait.

Halo: CEA was sold for $40 at launch iirc.

Fucking shameful if I'm the only one who doesn't need to google "forerunner tank" to know what it is. >=|
"Only blood will pay for this"
"I am the monument to all your sins"
"forerunner tank"
Wasn't this the extent of jason jones' contribution to Halo 2 according to the cut-scene commentaries?
And only one got used.

As someone else noted, Halo CE Anniversary came out at $40.
The only possible case of "milking" I see in the Halo franchise is Halo 3: ODST. It was an amazing package and well worth its price to me, but it probably should've been $40 instead of $60, and perhaps marketed a little differently.
That scripted mess was less scripted than the H4LO demo at this year's E3 and didn't look any messier than what actually ended up in the final version of Halo 2. Pretty much every overly scripted part of that demo was used in a Halo game at some point, with the exception of the coolest one - the Jackal phalanx.
Why would you NOT want that fairly huge, open level in a Halo game?
Oh I know what that is, just wasn't getting there with that name

okay. I am fine with this. I bought the Halo:CE Anniversary for 19.99 and I am okay with that. I will do the same for Halo 2. Not for $40, but definitely $20. A 720 game would be okay.

Dude. C'mon now.
This, which is why I'm not interested.
Halo 2's campaign is one of the most dull and uninteresting I've ever played.
So you know its going to be released for $60? Do you have the winning lottery numbers?

Not only $60, but $60+.
I never got CE Anniversary.. Wasn't feelin' it for some reason. If this is on the Nextbox I'm so down.
Probably. Doesn't mean it cannot be turned into a proper map though. With some heavy work. Probably not worth the effort.
Too bad ODST didn't have a similar area with a lot of other Marines, i think otherwise the city in ODST felt a lot like the city in the Halo 2 campaign demo.

You guys don't get it. MOST early demos shown at E3 or wherever are like that, all smoke and mirrors not intended to ever reach the hands of the public. But most of those demos are lifted from the game in development as work-in-progress, and they keep working on them until they're the real thing. There's no reason Bungie couldn't have done this with the E3 2003 demo. Why they made the decision to chop it up into little chunks and spread them around the early levels of the game is a mystery, but it probably had something to do with the fact that the ENGINE they used to make the demo wasn't viable and had to be thrown out. I get that. Still no reason they couldn't have rebuilt it in the engine that the game later shipped on.
Dud you are so coooooo
What the hell do you mean c'mon now? How the hell am I supposed to remember the name of something that hasn't been mentioned in YEARS?
Jeez

Hey, I remembered it. Not my fault you're not as coo' as I am wid da Halo 2 apocrypha and also wid da ladiez.
This isn't Reddit, please refrain from these kind of posts here.
You should check out the Halo 2 Making of video. It sheds a lot of light on the situation regarding that E3 demo and the rushed crunch afterwards. The game had a super rocky development cycle the entire way through.
this. love halo 2. underrated campaign, awesome story, LOVE gravemind. also, reposting .jpg

Seen it a few times, it was a Halo 3 Legendary Edition bonus. Same place I learned of Forerunner Tank. Also where I learned about the E3 2003 demo engine being shit canned. Offers no insight whatsoever as to why they didn't rebuild the content from the demo in the new engine. They could have, they chose not to. Or at least, they could have gotten a LOT closer than they did. It was a design choice, a bad one IMO.
