So this is 2014's Halo game, right?

I found it pretty damn implausible that a brand new Halo would be out this holiday when we know very little about it.

why? it's only january. there are plenty of games that could be coming this fall that we know nothing about. uncharted, cod, need for speed, etc.

 

[amnesiac]

They better get the online right though.

 

[dancrane212]

I'd rather this just to have Halo 5 get another year in the oven, It still feels too soon after 4.

They do have all the unused audio from the cut ending of Halo 2 right? I swear I remember Frank O'Connor posting they'd like to do something with it some day.

 

[ascii42]

If they neuter the online and make it another map pack then it will be another disappointment.

Map pack to what? If this is coming this year then Halo 5 certainly isn't.

 

[Bread]

This is the only true system seller for me, please be real.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I really miss not having Halo on the XB1. Like any other delay if a year makes 5 better go for it, hopefully 2 isn't full price.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

The multiplayer will probably be a straight port of Halo 4's multiplayer :lol

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Hmm excited about this, but it doesn't bode we'll for those PC ports that were rumored from last year.

 

[billy323]

Probably for the best over a new Halo as maybe the bone can run a last gen game at 1080p60. oops my mistake (looks at Tomb Raider)

 

[chadskin]

I wonder who is developing it


could 343 do both?


will it use the new Halo engine?

You bet. 343 is the Halo manufacturing plant.

 

[Serick]

Not sure how I feel about this...

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

New halo delayed ?

Good question. Would they release this along with Halo 5 ?

No no, I think people got it all wrong. They said "Your Halo journey begins 2014", they never said Halo 5. A remake of an old Halo is still a game, so they didn't delay anything.

 

[bishoptl]

this thread will be locked

Really?

 

[Gleethor]

I thought that this was a given, seeing that its going to be the 10 year anniversary.

 

[Lothars]

Wow that's dissapointing, the worst halo game is getting a re-release. I hate Halo 2 with a passion and now Halo 5 till next year is incredibly dissapointing.

 

[Neuromancer]

Crackdown in 2016 would be the balls. I'd probably have to buy a Bone for that.

 

[IndigoStyle]

Halo 2 in the Halo 5 engine

Oh god.

Drools...
If i remember right, didn't anyone from 343i give a hint that they would like to revisit Halo 2? I think i read something about doing things differently in the campaign and maybe add in the level from the (at that time) jaw dropping E3 demo?

 

[Lakitu]

Goddamnit, I'm going to have to get an Xbox One aren't I?

 

[TheOctodad]

If Halo 2 is full, old school MP, with updated graphics, I'm in.

 

[TGO]

Let me guess what coming after this generation, Halo 3 Anni?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Really?

People have made similar threads and they have been locked. But that was another mod though, I guess you're okay with it?

 

[Nirolak]

Halo 5 getting delayed would not be ideal for them IMO.

Do they have any proven major titles for Fall 2014 anymore?

 

[Netprints]

Please have online MP. It was such a shame that Halo Anni didn't have this.

 

[MarauderShields]

I want to be excited but I expect MP to screwed up somehow

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Ugh, I loved Halo 2.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Don't care about Halo 5 (after Halo 4 didn't feel like a Halo game to me).

But damn! I am def interested in a Halo 2 Anniversary version and could easily buy an Xbox One for it.

 

[S¡mon]

Halo 5 for this year seemed unlikely anyway. You know there's a lot of work to be done when all they have is some CGI trailer and keep quiet.

 

[kadotsu]

Halo 2 with the animation team of 343i should be perfect (if they don't nerf legendary).

 

[Syphon Filter]

 

[witness]

A Bone at $400 and a great HD remake of Halo 2 would totally get me.

Wonder if they would do anything to the ending?

 

[AlStrong]

Doctor Halsey invents a warthog time machine and sends Master Chief back to November 5, 2552 to save Jen/Cortana.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I've never played an early halo game and didn't like 4, is two worth looking at of this is true?

Halo 3 with GWG seemed fun.

 

[nhlducks35]

Halo 2 with Halo 5 beta should sell quite a bit

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I want to be excited but I expect MP to screwed up somehow

How do you feel about Halo 4's(current multiplayer)?

 

[sp3000]

The fact that people are willing to spend half a thousand on a remake of a 10 year old game more than any other exclusive should say something

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Halo 5 getting delayed would not be ideal for them IMO.

Do they have any proven major titles for Fall 2014 anymore?

None that I can think of. Maybe they are hoping a combination of Sunset Overdrive, H2A, third party titles and some exclusive indie titles will be enough to carry them through the fall? Seems very risky if that is what they intend to do...

 

[yankeehater]

Personally perplexed how a remake of a game you can still play (obviously not online) can convince a person to buy a $500 console, but it's definitely a welcome addition.

If I didnt have an XB1 I would have gotten one the day this was officially announced. Halo 2's mp is my favorite of all time. They need to keep it the same just update the visuals.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Seriously, if they don't dick around with the MP and leave as it was, I'm in. I'll buy a damned One for this.

 

[CountAntonius]

Map pack to what? If this is coming this year then Halo 5 certainly isn't.

Cod Ghosts.

 

[Duxxy3]

Delaying halo 5 til next is probably for the best.

People have wanted Halo 2 anniversary for a while, especially the multiplayer. This gives sunset overdrive and quantum break some breathing room.

Most importantly it gives the xbox one a big title for 2015. I think many were suspecting the 2015 title to be gears of war, but that isn't happening with what we now know.

 

[MrBig]

Not interested in buying H2 anni for xbox one, but I'd love to see the Mombasa E3 demo released in some form

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Just in case anyone missed it...

Halo 2 Anniversary Edition
-
Halo 5 beta access
Halo real time show... think Forward Unto Dawn (not the Spielberg stuff)
Someone told me there was going to be an alternative fucking ending. <-- I have zero info as to whether this is legitimate or not

 

[VanWinkle]

ARGH WHY? I loved Halo 2. But I also don't want to buy an Xbox One anytime remotely soon.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Ahhhhhh yeeeaaahhh best MP game off all time.

Just keep the H2 ranking system please

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Gears, Halo 2 and Crackdown 3 info all in a few days... so awesome. I wasn't ready at all for this week.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Halo 5 getting delayed would not be ideal for them IMO.

Do they have any proven major titles for Fall 2014 anymore?

They will be pushing CoD like crazy (along with H2 of course with H5 beta and whatnot) but if they are still at 499... I can see trouble.

No way QB is 2014 methinks.

 

[Gestault]

Is it weird that as much as I think this is pretty cool, I'd rather it have been for 360 because that would mean every Halo game was available on one system?

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Day fucking 1..

 

[Garrett 2U]

if this is true.... I will die of happiness.. I won't even make it to the launch date

 

[B.O.O.M]

Halo 5 getting delayed would not be ideal for them IMO.

Do they have any proven major titles for Fall 2014 anymore?

My guess Halo 2 HD

and

TitanFall bundle

MS made a mistake revealing Halo 5 so early imho
