The blatant gross misrepresentation of the UK in this thread both disgusts me and turns me on.

Well that pretty much confirms a Halo announcement at E3.
You put sugar in whipped cream.....

I have someone I can go to for screenshots, but is there anyone here on GAF that can screengrab my screenshots from my Halo 3 fileshare and upload them somewhere so I can download them?

23 kills, huh? Sounds like a fair match.
My teammate was on their level so it totally counts. I could feel the donging coursing through them. It was as though a million digital dicks emanated from their televisions and cried out, slapping them in the face all at once.

I'm just saying, Major League of Gaming teaming up with Virgin is just begging for puns.

Please be steam. Please be steam. Actually, I don't trust them to do a proper port. I hope Gearbox does it like Halo 1 PC only without MS making them support people on 56k.

Agreed 100% - I would be quite happy if they put forge built 4v4 designed maps for snipes - right now some of the maps are way too large/ slow and campy

Eh, they denied CEA in 2010 as well. The fact that the entries were found in the steam registry lends the idea some validity. I'm interested to see how it unfolds.

Halo 2 is not 10 years old until next fall...
EDIT: Holy shit Halo 2 is 10 years old next fall. I'm old.

Have you played Shutout Snipes yet? I was put in charge of making some changes for the playlist, I wonder what people think of the moved starting spawns. I also deleted 4 extremely exposed spawns because spawning out in the middle of the wide open is the anti-defintion of fun.
I think I'll cook up an Exile Snipes after I finish work for today and see what people think.
There really isn't anything requiring a specific 10 year date.
This is entirely just for fun speculation:
A Halo 2 remake makes solid sense for an alternate-cycle release.
1 - it's an upres of an older game. People will expect graphic upgrades, but will accept somewhere slightly above 360 quality since it's new graphics over the bones of an old game.
2 - [Businesshat]the next Xbox console will have a fairly small userbase at launch. Re-releasing Halo 2 gives you a Halo at the launch of the console, but nobody will expect it to do uber numbers since it's a remake. It buys them time to wait for the next new Halo to have an userbase where they can tout even bigger launch day/week sales.[/Paradigmsynergyshiftcrossmarketing]

I'm all down for a Halo 2: Anniversary as long as everyone knows there won't be multiplayer. If Bungie were still the developers, then yeah, maybe. No way 343 will do that. It would make them look bad no matter the outcome. If it's good, most people will still give Bungie the main credit, regardless of 343's involvement. If it's bad, 343's going to get the blame.
There may be a Halo 2 Anniversary Map Pack for Halo 5 (or a Halo 5 beta if it comes out earlier), but don't expect anything more than that. I just don't want ever Halo community freaking out for two weeks acting all surprised when no MM is announced for a H2A.

But wouldn't they be worried about splitting the userbase between Halo2 Anniversary and the recent Halo game (probably Halo 5)?
Man. That's so weird to think about.
I can still remember coming home from school and going in with my Dad to pick up the Limited Edition at release and playing so many customs (took me two weeks to finish campaign... hahaha.)
I'm up for it. I don't have a capture card, but I can just download them, put them on my PC and upload them for you from there.
They should stop trying to rationalize "splitting up the userbase". Just do the remake right, because if you start factoring in lost userbase you could potentially harm both the player that is going to buy the remake *and* the current userbase of players that are playing Halo 4, because it will be half assed for both parties regardless. In that case both parties are just holding back each other, nobody is satisfied and we are left with an annoying clusterbuck.

ODST hardly counts. It came with the Halo 3 multiplayer. CEA nearly worked the same, just with a map pack.
Hey, why do you guys hate Sarah Palmer!?
I would expect the same for the Halo 2 remake.
Halo 2's multiplayer is legendary, but I wouldn't mind at all if they pulled a CEA and just remade the campaign. I played that more than I did the multiplayer when I didn't have LIVE.

All would be forgiven if they added in theater to Halo 2A's campaign.
If they recreated Halo 2 multiplayer with updated visuals for 360 nobody would ever play Halo 4 again, though.
Catch 22.
They get so much shit already. A little more isn't going to change anything.
At that point you might as well be making a new game, haha.
Meh, I'd be fine with just campaign. It is after all, the best in teh series.
Seems like a win-win to me

I see nothing wrong with this. Heck, the population might even be bigger :lol

While id like H2A with MP I Just can't see it happening.
I'm with you, seems perfect from the perspective of a Halo fan; unfortunately, despite their hollow insistence, 343 isn't actually a democratic extension of the Halo fanbase's every want and wish.
I'm expecting a map pack for Halo 4.

I would choke a bitch if they added invisible walls/instakill barriers into Halo 2's campaign. I want to explore that stuff all over again! Even if it does mean Uprising will only take like two and a half minutes :lol
