They could have Chief go to a planet that they lost communication with and Chief accidentally lands on a Forerunner planet overrun by the flood, where Forerunners are in a war with the flood. Chief could find Linda 058 (who was one of Chief's closest friends) infected by the flood.
They aren't rumors. Frank O'Connor stated in a Game Informer interview that a remake of Halo 2 is something that 343 Industries "has to take seriously" and is "looking at."
If they changed the location to maybe another Forerunner planet, but this one is overrun by flood and there is a war that broke out between the Forerunners and flood
These are all such great ideas. When I was 7 I got an XBox and Halo 2 (don't know why they didn't get me CE first) and as soon as I got to the flood levels I pi**ed my pants. It was so fun and terrifying at the same time, especially the Library level, where there was endless hordes. Because Im older, the flood just isn't scary and I want them to get a lot scarier and have some more of those "holy s**t" moments.
The XBox version is almost an embarrassment to Minecraft compared to the PC version, but it's Minecraft so it is still fun. I can only wish they had the Feed The Beast mod-pack on the XBox.

I'm loyal to Xbox and, so far, haven't been disappointed, so I will probably be getting the new Xbox eventually. Especially if it means that I would get to play BF4 on 64 player servers.
