Yeah I normally don't buy a console at launch (6-12 months after launch usually), but if those two titles are launch window, I will spring for sure.

groooosss
No one cares.
If Destiny is officially coming to PC at the same time as the 720 then I'll probably hold off on getting one until Halo 5.

Halo 2 Anniversary launching with the 720 would be a great move by 343 on so many levels.
So many.
That'd be about the time I'd be "yup, time to check out of this franchise".
Then somehow they lock even more things behind retailer bonuses from the previous version. Foundation only at Gamestop. Stop in at Best Buy to play as an Elite. Go to CompUSA for the ending.

If the next Xbox is indeed 2013, I could definitely see Halo 2 Anniversary be a launch title. It would give people a great reason to buy a new Xbox, and it'll keep Halo in people's minds until Halo 5 comes out.
And even though 2013 is the 9th Anniversary of Halo 2, all they have to say is that it's in celebration of the upcoming 10th Anniversary of Halo 2 and no one will even notice or care.

You can't just 'anniversary' everything that came out ten years ago and sell it again. Jesus, are our memories that short now?

King of the Hill commendations 45% completed. Who knows when that number will be able to be improved upon again.
Best lost bet punishment ever.
Uh, if they added back MP support for it, why not?
I'm literally in line for rat poison now. My post earlier got me hungry.
As much as I want it to happen, I don't think there's a chance in hell Halo 2 Anniversary would have Xbox Live multiplayer.
If it did though...Oh man
edit: vvvvv the day Halo 3 anniversary releases will be the best day ever
2011- H1 A
2012- Halo 4
2013: H2 A
2014: Halo 5
2015: Halo Wars 2
2016: Halo 6
2017: H3 A
2018: Halo Chronicles
2019 GOTO 2011
Well, according to GAF you'll now live on the toilet for the next day. But, I know you're not a pussy like the rest of them, so you'll be ok!

My body completely rejects what you guys seem to think is "food". I will be on the toilet for hours.

Halo 2 Anniversary in any form would be amazing.

Perhaps not any form, if they just wanna CEA it again they might as well not even bother.
outstanding
Hahaha, I just lold for real
I don't agree at all. Campaign needs to be brought back, IMO. I know many on here disagree, but I couldn't care less about 7 year old multiplayer... however great it was at the time.
What thread is that from? Is there one like that for handhelds?
Franklinator

Here ya go, sadly not one for handhelds though
yeah, old stuff is stupid
edit: Oh yeah, forgot about the map packs releasing
Right here. No handhelds though
I completely forgot about it until this morning. Suppose I'll try out the new maps tomorrow.So a map pack is releasing today? Well buck.
edit: Are you kidding me Franklinator, we posted like the same exact thing
Jetpack would be redundant. There's already superbouncing, which widens the skill gap anyway.
Oh yeah can't forget those. I also think flinch should be upgraded. For example if you got shot with a pistol your screen would either go straight up or straight down. Which actually isn't a bad thing considering every map has multiple floors or levels for jetpack use.

Never officially, but yeah, I doubt we'll see it this upcoming year.
Holy shit is the game trolling me. Right now I can hit people with the Railgun, Boltshot, Shotgun etc, and put 6 more rounds of another pistol or DMR and they will not die. Meanwhile, I am the only one when a grenade or a few bullets go into a crowd.
Last but not least, I pop the shields one two, and my controller dies. I am hated right now.

I'm with you there, man.
I'm actually all in for a "Director's Cut" edition of Halo 2 with some of the extra cut content added in for good measure.
--
Watching that extended SpOps trailer got me hyped for it again.
I'm fairly certain I saw Broadswords flying, so I wonder if that's going to be in there. I did see Vortex, I think, too.
The other stuff looks great, and the story looks like it seems to be going somewhere. I guess 343 deserve some slack for SpOps, it is their first rodeo after all. There are very few devs that have gotten episodic gaming right.
Still, what gets me excited the most about SpOps is less the campaign-tied story of the Infinity, and more the possibilities of the future. I'm talking really crazy stuff. Like... why not visit Noble Team pre-Reach? Or that Firefly ODST team - do some more missions there. Or, hell, if we're being crazy, why not have some Pre-CE Master-Chief/Cortana content? Blue Team anyone? What about some of the Arbiter's missions - or a whole season from the Covenant's perspective?
Granted, I know this stuff aint cheap, but it's episodic, they don't have to be huge. I just want some more creativity in the future (not that it isn't good, now, but some REALLY creative stuff).
There's a ridiculously huge universe to explore and Spartan Ops is the perfect excuse to just say fuck it and go bananas.
I just got my house on Solstheim and it was so awesomely pimped out I haven't stopped grinning since turning the game off a while ago. So great. Took a huge, multi-day investment to prepare for a raid, pulled it off, got a fucking house in return. The feeling of pride, accomplishment and then reward is so great. Now that's an investment system.
Sorry for the detail, but I keep reading posts of frustration at Halo 4, and it's such a contrast from the near constant joy Skyrim brings me. Doesn't really motivate going back....
An entire third act

Hey, it's not entirely fair to compare straight RPGs to FPS. I mean, RPGs have had "investment systems" pretty much since their inception. It's a relatively newer phenomenon that that genre has sort of bled into the mainstream of other genres. So Skyrim's systems are quite a bit more mature.
Actually... Now you have me thinking about an open-world scifi RPG set in the Halo universe. Something like Mass Effect, but during the time of the Forerunner and Ancient Humans. How bananas would that be!
I'm in dreamer mode tonight
Yeah, every time I see a glimpse of the Halo 2 that could have been, I feel something akin to nostalgia, but for something I know I'll never get to experience. There must have been so many good ideas thrown off that ship. That sounds a lot more negative than I intended. I loved the shit out of that game's campaign.
Team Regicide, Dominion, Oddball, and SWAT I find pretty damn fun. Pretty much all I play with a dab of CTF here and there.
I like the game for the most part, I just wish I had more time to play it.
