Halo 2: Anniversary Edition **Rumored**

Making a thread on this because I want too.. Once it's confirmed (I fully believe it will be at E3. This game will be ready by November) then I will change the title.



Anywho.. IGN talked to big Phil about the game. I'm happy with what he's saying.

Quote:

Speaking to IGN during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last week, Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer described what would be the most important feature to him in a hypothetical Halo 2 Anniversary release for Xbox One. "In this fictitious world where that game existed," he began, smiling, "it’s an easy answer: it has to be just the multiplayer experience that we all found in that first Halo 2 game. If you think about what happened in the franchise and what were the hallmark moments – when did duel wielding come in, when did another playable character that wasn’t Master Chief come in? "All the things that you and I know about the evolution of the franchise, if you’re going to say one thing about Halo 2, you’re going to talk about real multiplayer. I think you just have to nail that in just such a fundamentally core way. Frankly [we'd have to do it] probably better than we did with Halo 1 Anniversary. I thought the multiplayer in Halo 1 Anniversary was good, but Halo 1 never had multiplayer in the truest sense, so it always was going to be something different. "If there were something called Halo 2 Anniversary," he concluded, "I think the multiplayer would have to be fantastic." Halo 2 Anniversary has been heavily rumored recently, and not just because it's the 10-year anniversary of the game's original November 9, 2004 release. A purported insider leak allegedly outed the game, and then it was allegedly confirmed again in an interview with Master Chief voice actor Steve Downes. If and when Halo 2 Anniversary Edition is officially confirmed, we'll have the full story on IGN.

Hopefully the "When did we start to get to play as characters that aren't Master Chief (in MP)" means we'll be able to pay as Elites again in MP.. I'll throw my wallet at this game just for that. :p
