If Halo 2 Anniversary Edition was a thing... What would you want out of it?

_{So, it is possible Halo 2 will, or is, getting remastered/remade/anniversary edition/what have you'd. If this is the case, what would you want out of the experience?}

if they give the graphics a face lift, but only that. In CE they made the game look different....like the graphics werent updated, there were just completely new textures on doors and such. I didn't like that.

I will be posting my opinion separately, as to avoid influencing others' decisions.

 

Edit: Automerged, I'll wait for somebody else to post then repost my opinion.

 

Personally, I disliked the Halo 1 remake, as instead of keeping true-to-the-game mechanics for the old game, they just hooked up Reach's multiplayer. I got to enjoy the campaign, but that is where the fun stopped. So, for me, I wouldn't want them to mess with any of the key functionality that Halo 2 had. All I would want is updated textures & models, perhaps audio & animation as well if they are so inclined. Beyond that though, no change. I want to be able to still bounce, lunge, and have the ever-so-rare encounter with the infamous ghost on Lockout. Days on end of Tower of Power on Ascension, Cat & Mouse on Coag, Boxing, Cops & Robbers, etc. I don't want them to mess with the formula at all. I would like the inclusion of Co-Op over XBL for campaign, though. (Only 2 people, though. Keep it classy, ya know?)

 

So TL;DR:

Change only the graphical elements mostly, and absolutely nothing that would impact superbounces, rocket-canceling, even the cheap button combos should stay. 100% True to it's roots, yet optimized for today's hardware. (Well, tomorrow's I guess; it would be released after the next generation of consoles)

I just want amazing graphics, not with Halo 4's engine though I will be pissed the **** off. I want the same multiplayer from Halo 2, all the maps, playlists, emblems, everything.

Yeah I think they would do Halo 2.

Maybe have the graphics a little more epic.

Not saying like Halo 4's cause if they did I would be like wtf o.O.

if 343 ever did halo 2 again and yes I know what I am asking for will never happen but what I world want out of it is all the stuff bungie left out for example mission new enemies etc. in the game that  for me is a annivery.

Frankly i say just keep the "Halo 2" in tact and they got it 

[Grigori_one]

I always thought that HALO 2 was made to be "polished" at a later date, the way the graphics load up seem to hint at this.

 

If they make it again I hope they remove the 2 boss fights and replace them with epic battles.

 

Instead of having to punch regret you get to snipe him from long distance after taking out 20 or so honor gaurds .

 

And the boss battle with Tartarus... lots and lots of brutes and elites fighting and you have to make it through the gauntlet to get to tartarus and plant explosives on his phantom before he takes off.

Frankly you guys will agree if you are a true fan of Halo 2
