Halo |OT4| Trust's a Tough Thing to Come by These Days

I don't think it would be wise for MS to wait that long to release their next console. If Sony gets a head start like MS did this gen, they could be in trouble.

Just because Thief 4 might release in late '13, OXM is predicting a 2014 launch for the 720? That's their logic?
A Halo 2 Anniversary would be incredible. No amount of pants changing could cover the awesomeness (provided MP is part of it this time).

The original Xbox released after PS2 and if I remember right ended up catching up with Sony at/near the end.
They aren't worried. (perhaps they should be)
2 years down the line I would have to assume MP would be a part of it...
However, that would mean we wouldn't be getting Halo 5 in 2 years.
I doubt this is true.

Still think it will be in 2013. MS learned with the 360 that getting a jump on the launch is the way to go, I think they'd love to release a year before Sony again, or at least make sure they don't release their console after them.
Xbox 3 in 2013, Halo 4 in 2014 (2 year dev cycle what is this madness?!)
Did they confirm Halo's going on 2 year dev cycles? I really hope they rethink that.
Well that's your problem. If you were editing in Final Cut we'd have seen this montage weeks ago

Halo 2 Anniversary would be a campaign only remake, I'm betting.
Hoping we'll see Halo 5 three years after Halo 4.

2 years into the 720's life cycle seems about right; the same as Halo 3 to the 360.

If we get anything for Halo 2's tenth anniversary it'll be a map pack at best, I'd wager. And none of those maps would be Turf, Relic, Backwash, or Terminal, so I wouldn't care.
Awww yeah. He needs to get femshep to say "We'll bang, okay".
343 is continuing the 3 year dev cycle. Remember that H4 did not start dev after Reach, 343 started before Reach was out.

Bad taste, you never fail to disappoint
Bad taste in soccer, bad taste in twitter photos, bad taste in gametype selection(convincing people to play SWAT potato on Unanchored)... You have brought great shame Elzar.

Refined taste.
720 launching with H2 Anniv is the one thing that could make me hold out until 2014. I would cum all over tbh. But hey how about you give us every Halo 2 map this time around since they are undisputably the best Halo maps ever made.

i dont need a halo 2 remake, because they'll take out the glitches and button combos.
just make it an XBLA game and bring it back online.

Why is this a bad thing?
Because it separates the pros from the casuals, clearly.
Meta-gaming like that never hurt anyone.
If they just make a campaign remake, no need to remove that stuff. If they make a multiplayer remake too, they absolutely need to remove that shit from the MM. Customs could have an option to enable them though.
EDIT somewhat based on Elzar's suggestion, i made a change on my avatar.
Not ideal but couldn't do much else, why cannot these Reach medals and pics have transparent backrounds...

They will likely use the Halo 4 engine just as CEA used Reach's engine. It would be stupid as hell to use Halo 2's absolutely broken online multiplayer.
lol Scotts.

Rending done. It's uploading now. ETA 18 minutes. It will go live here: http://youtu.be/BnfTuaPeJWE
I did a spot-check and found a few minor issues in the video, some of the transitions are a little off. Shouldn't be too noticeable, but I'll restart my computer and re-render when I have a spare hour. (Didn't expect a 14-minute video to require 64 minutes to render.)

I see that the video is not called "The HaloGAF Montage (Reach Edition) feat Franklinator"
And why is that
And why is that
Halo CEA didn't use Reach engine, it used a proprietary engine to render the new graphics layer but otherwised used Halo CE engine.

wut
Yea super bouncing in matchmaking was bad, but people spent hours in custom games glitching out of maps. As for button combos...well I personally don't have a problem with them, but that's just me
edit: I can see why people would want these patched, but I honestly feel like they hold a spot in Halo 2.

It's not hard to take out the solid coloured background, gimme the source image and I'll fix it up for you.
Yes it is difficult as one point of the star is almost black. I did try to that myself...
But you can try if you wish.
Wait a moment as i look for the source... EDIT here http://www.halopedian.com/images/c/c1/EMP_Blast!.png
EDIT do note that i'm a perfectionist on a thing like this, when I do something like this, i try to do it perfectly, even if you cannot see it in the end result.
Talking about multiplayer.
Right... but it wasn't a remake, it was merely a map pack for Reach with modified gametypes, not a true remake, more like a spiritual successor without the spirit.
Halo CEA multiplayer partition that is
...uh
Doesnt even come close to the Solnhofen / Rhamphorhynchus matchup of nineteen aught 8, there hasn't been a markstep the likes of Brandish's left quarter roughshot since and there likely never will be, though Zeigler's stroke at the end of last season's game made Boston look like a fool.
See, I can make up crazy sport sounding things too.
Microsoft will never release a Halo game exclusively onto the XBLA ghetto. This franchise is retail tier. And the multiplayer was a buggy/laggy as fuck. I'd rather any 2 remake just include maps for 4 or Reach.
edit: but also, if 2 were to ever be remade, I'd want it to actually be remade and not a portmake like CE:A

No. The multiplayer was Reach's multiplayer. That's what he's talking about. And thread moving too fast. beaten.
