I think what he meant by that is that halo 2 was the first halo game to have full fledged online multiplayer. And it kinda kickstarted that aspect in console games. So not having multiplayer this time around wouldn't be something he would be ok with.
Rumor: A Halo game releasing in October 2014?

I liked Halo 2 but it's abrupt ending always made me feel like it was an unfinished game.
I'm hoping for Halo 2 HD and Halo 5 this year. Unlikely, but a man can dream.

what if it's halo (5) with halo (2)'s campaign and halo (3)'s multiplayer.
That was temporary I believe near crunch to get the game finished and shipped. I swear I read an interview with Kiki where she discusses this. Also, keep in mind, even with the size, they did outsource things like CG as well.
It's an all new system, that's the biggest problem. Sure they'll reuse assets, retool the Halo 3/Reach engine that was completely retooled for Halo 4, but they also did get a new art director. I don't know, I just can't see it happening so fast.
Halo 2 Anniversary I can believe because they'll get Sabre and CA to do what they did for CEA, while making sure it runs flawless etc. At this point, I choose to believe Ntkrnl, a lot of what he said came to be true. Even better if his leak of Halo 5 beta being a part of H2A because it'll mean they're prepared for Halo 5 launch better.

A 2 year release schedule for Halo is probably Microsoft's dream come true.
It's mine, too.
I doubt it. It's their biggest franchise. And after halo 4, they probably want to make sure to get it right.
Was Halo 4 really much of a disaster in Microsoft's eyes? It reviewed well and it sold well. Other than player retention, I can't see them scrambling to make the next one that much better.

More or less. But they have been very vocal in communicating that they hearing what fans say. So maybe it will more people happy this time.
As long as they make the narrative easier to follow I'm happy.
The pessimist in me says that whilst 343i might understand this, Microsoft won't and therefore won't budge on the development cycle. But who knows, Phil's in charge now so I'm a lot more trusting.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
DLC sales was undoubtedly effected by the dwindled player base, and MS(and other platform holders) are likely more invested in making sure their IPs are taken care of more than third party publishers.

Even if the development cycle doesn't change, then they could still change the game itself. But looking at how much money Microsoft is putting into Halo with the tv show and so on, I imagine they understand the need to not ruin the quality of the brand.
But I have a hard time understanding what went wrong with 4 since I only play the campaign once and maybe ten MP matches.

This has probably been said already but I think it's halo 2A and will probably be released at the same time as the rest of the world launch. September/October?
You are right because you are poster # 117

Maybe a remake of both Halo CE and Halo 2? I hope so
It could be similar to many "definitive edition" games and will sell with the high price tag. Also, arguably halo 2 had the best multiplayer for the series

We've been hearing "this next game isn't just another straightforward FPS..." since the ODST announcement. I'm skeptical.

Halo 2 had my favorite campaign.
It had the most unique biomes from any of the games, in my opinion. From the anti-grav area on Cairo Station, fighting through New Mombasa with Sgt. Johnson, those structures in the water on the ring and fighting the Prophet. It was all pretty grand to me. xD But I loved every Halo (even Reach) made by Bungie so maybe I'm a fanboy.I'm not sure, but I think you must be some sort of logical mastermind.
Exactly! Funny, isn't it!?
Time for a new headline on Dualshockers mainpage.
Starts with "From Industry insider Ahsan Thuway Rasheed".
Edit.

Pre-release shooter? Microsoft console exclusive? Releasing October 1st but in December of 2014?
What have these Wal*Mart interns been smoking lately?

When I was a kid I remember having laid the foundations of multiplayer Zelda when coming back from a tennis game with a friend.
