If ntkrnl is to be believed (he's missed a couple of times recently), we're getting a beta for Halo 5 before the end of the year, so at least you have that.

I'm quite surprised he would confirm it so ahead of E3. Must be feeling really confident about what all they have left to reveal.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Arbiter > Master Dork
Halo 2 Anniversary should just cut everything other than Arbiter from the game. Only Arbiter, with invisibility and sword, for multiplayer.

Which was then relegated in Halo 3, and removed in ODST onwards with barely a second glance.
Because it was crap.

I'll throw up if they announce a 2015 date though.

They must change nothing other than graphics and level count. Any tweaks are likely to ruin the magic that is Halo 2. Don't let us down, MS.

The only way they can nail it is if they include all of the multiplayer maps. Which are allot given all the post release content and PC only maps.
Halo CE Anniversary felt like 10 years after its release, but a Halo 2 just seems odd. It feels so recent, yet i was so young...

All maps including DLC maps would be great. I need my Turf wars.

I only hope it maintains a strong player base and everyone doesn't leave after a week to play COD 37 instead

Because they're talking about a theoretical game that officially isn't being worked on.

Phil does seem to be a lot more likeable and gamer friendly than Mattrick, that's for sure.

Sure, I'm aware of how popular Halo is, especially 2's multiplayer. I'm not a big fan, just hoping they have something big, unannounced that's more suited to my tastes.
You had me, until you said "for multiplayer". :lol
Arbiter is a great character, I always wanted a spin-off Halo game with him as the main character. I think it would be pretty awesome, if you could play with him on the planet Sanghelios.
How would Forza Horizon 2 suit you then?
I don't even like racing games, but after playing the first one, that would suit me quite well.
Plus, hey we get to see Sunset Overdrive and stuff, likely. And there's probably something else really big, like a new IP, that we don't know about yet.

He's fairly open and very active with the community for a man in his position.
It is basically announced. They will do it officially when the time is right and they have something to show.
They are kind of pulling a Nintendo. Talking about future games to build hype for a console with maybe not first place sales.

That's the thing, they can't change multiplayer. It needs to be exactly the same.

They were actually on schedule to release in Tier 2 but when it came time to ship they forgot. Slipped their mind. Can't blame them, really. They were too busy promoting Titanfall.

With the news of Halo games on Steam I would be giddy like a school girl if this was to release simultaneously on steam.

Would suit me fine, loved the first one
However, I want them to move on a bit from Halo,Gears, Forza and Fable. It's getting stale a bit for me and very predictable. Quantam Break and Overdrive are a good step in that direction.

The rumor-real scale is typing ever so slightly in favor of the latter as we near E3. I hope though that they don't botch yet another HD remake and include only half of the game. I realize that most of the fans who want to play it only want the multiplayer, but that's a part of Halo 2. The campaign - for all its issues - was still a blast and what really sold me on the series (and co-op). I'd be less inclined to pick it up if it was no where to be found. Besides, all the other campaigns are playable with co-op over LIVE, so why the hell not?
On that point, if the game ends up being touched in any way other than to update the graphics and netcode, there's going to be significant uproar. For something that's shaping up to be [long overdue] fanservice, they can't afford to make those mistakes.
