"[And yes, to the somehow excruciatingly misinformed people, what Cooliest said: Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary have two completely different multiplayer components. QQ as much about how they said they would keep everything the same, in the end all you can accomplish is make a fool of yourself in this scenario.]" ~ Meteor Storm
Sorry, just thought this needs to be seen twice. It's called "re-imagined" for a reason. 1: I doubt that smg effects anything silenced or not. 2: The AR should have always been in this game regardless. 3: The Mongoose is just another thing "Re-imagined", but we have not even rode one yet, so what's the rush in judging how it's going to effect gameplay?
The bigger question is why do we care this much? This is once again "re-imagined." This isn't your old Halo 2 multiplayer EXACTLY the same as it was, you can tell that. You are still getting what they promised however, original Halo 2 MP within the MCC. So big deal? No.
