With Halo 4 now out the door next up on the agenda for 343 Industries and Microsoft will be Halo 2: Anniversary Edition.  2014 will be the 10th anniversary of the first Halo game to feature Xbox LIVE online game play.  Will Halo 2: AE be a Xbox 360 game?  Will 343 offer something new and amazing with online combat in Halo 2?  Only time will tell.

There are no details right now other than it is currently in development by 343 Industries.  This is just a place holder thread, I'll fill it up with pretty graphics.

What do you want to see in Halo 2: AE?  What should or can be improved?  Should Halo 2:AE be an Xbox 360 game or a next Xbox game?

$$$$$$$$$$ Dolla Dolla bills yall

How do you know it's in development? How is it confirmed?

Anyway I think it's great that they're making sure that ALL Halo games are in HD. It would be weird to have the odd man out.

I can see them making it simply because Halo 2 isn't playable online.  I doubt/don't think, they'd make a Halo 3:AE.  Otherwise we'd be caught up in an endless cycle of releasing games and then releasing updated versions. 

I wouldn't mind seeing Halo 2:AE.  High-res HD graphics using the Halo 4 engine, an updated online component that brought something new and unique, and possibly the first Xbox game designed for both the Xbox 360 and the next Xbox.

There is no confirmation that it is in development, other than a rumor circulated by OXM (the Official Xbox Magazine) that said it was.

Brace yourself for this one boys...

Halo 2 is actually my favourite Halo. Multi-player, anyway. My best friend is a big fan of the series, and I've played 2, 3 + Reach with him & his brother a lot.

There was something about Halo 2, I don't quite know what. I liked the maps, the feel, the speed of it etc. Everything worked better than I felt it did in Reach (didn't like) and 3 (good, but not as good as 2).

Plus, there were some crazy glitches and climbing you could do in that game. I cannot count how many hours I spent with them sword cancelling up to invisible walls and such. I suppose stuff like that is going to be lost in a HD remake :P

Halo 2 and Halo 4 have the best online MP. Depending on what 343 does with Halo 4, Halo 2 might still have the best MP!

Anyways, looking at Halo:CE Anniversary sales it doesn't seem like a good decision but I could be wrong.

I hope this time 343 use their own custom engine rather than the Saber3D v.S3 engine used for Halo:CEA which had a choppy frame rate at times and a sub HD framebuffer which I found rather odd considering we are talking about a 6th gen game. I was quite surprised 343 picked Saber Interactive do carry out the remake of MS biggest franchise considering the poor reception their previous games got.

I would love that because it is my favorite Halo (besides 4). What would make it even better is if they took all (or most) of the Halo 2 maps and put them in for the Halo 4 MP.

Halo: CEA was pretty disappointing for me...mostly because they didn't improve the utterly worthless frammerate in the game.

Halo 2 online was amazing but im having way more fun with Halo 4.

Halo 4 > Halo 2 >>> All Halos online.
