Halo 2 will always hold a special place in my heart. Leave the multiplayer as it is (none of this forge powered map remake bullshit) and I'll buy it sight unseen.

Hmm, I don't believe that Certain Affinity is making Halo 2 Anniversary alone. If they are making it, they will probably make it in conjunction with Saber Interactive and 343 (design only), just like Halo Anniversary.
Campaign
Redesign some of the levels to be more open and have a wider scope
Use the Elite and Brute AI found in Halo 3 & Halo Reach
Get rid of 1-shot Jackal Snipers
Increase the background warfare (buildings collapse into the distance and dogfights in the air)
Include another Earth Level, another Halo level, and another ending level that bridges the gap between the orginal Halo 2's end and the start of Halo 3.
Multiplyer
Get rid of ALL the glitches.
Get rid of BXR.
Eliminate noob combo by depleting Plasma Pistol Charge
Reduce Sword Lunge
And Halo 2 becomes pretty much perfect. There is no need to be 100% faithful to the original Halo 2, it's campaign isn't as revered as the original Halo's was, and improving multiplayer design flaws is just accepted practice.

Oh its just a port, if an awful studio like Saber (at least their gameplay department) can make CEA's campaign good I can trust CA to give the graphics a nice bump and add a few new things like theater.
(If Halo 2 gets spectator mode it will be the greatest thing ever)

Explain this to me, because I don't get how someone going "Fifth amendment" is confirmation of anything.

But wouldn't it only be 9 years, assuming that it would release this year?

Time to dust off the ole BXR, Dong machine.
That's why there's a question mark in the topic title, though I asked a mod to remove it because I feel it comes off as though I am asking if CA should remake Halo 2.
Woooooow, you're still alive!?!?!? HahahA

I don't see that Campaign standing up in the current environment.
It was criticised at the time. Now? I don't think metacritic would be kind to a pure H2A. Unless it was particularly cheap.
Given to every Durango owner who purchases within the first 12 months?

I guess they mean "I plead the 5th", meaning theyre keeping their mouths shut on the topic.
So its not a yes or a no, but they didnt just outright say no so there is still hope.

I would totally buy this if they put the e3 level in
Certain Affinity is also working on Halo 3 Anniversary?
Seems a bit soon if you ask me.
That would be a pretty cool bonus.

I'd put more on money on Halo 2 HD for steam. Similar to the AOE 2 HD that came out recently.
If it happened, it would most likely be on NextXbox.
i don't want no nextbox yetIt's not, but it's not a denial either. It raises suspicion, why even answer the question at all?

I guess this gives me a reason to look forward to the next Xbox reveal. Backwash with next-gen visuals will be glorious.

At the risk of them altering other things, I hope they get rid of all the glitches and super jumps for matchmaking. They can put it in a classic mode that can still be played through custom games.
This, of course, assuming they're remaking the MP, which I'm not fully confident they are. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't.
Does CA make any of their own stuff?

I think they did an orginal XBLA game. Kind of Diablo-esc.
Also Halo games were deleted from the SteamDB a day or 2 ago.

I hope they don't completely change the looks of things like they did with CEA.

Sigh... Now I'm gonna have to buy a Durango just for this if it happens.
As long as they don't fuck up the multiplayer, of course.

If they leave the MP alone or highly similar than I'm game. Halo 2 still stands as the best.
Same. Kinda wish it could be on the 360 but that's unlikely.
