After finishing the Reach campaign, I was definitely interested in going back and replaying Halo 1 and 2. Haven't played them in quite some time, but I'd like them to be on the 360. They wouldn't have to rewrite the game, just update the graphics, etc. I think a lot of people would buy it. Worked well for God of War when they released 1 and 2 for the ps3. Who's with me?

Can you play Halo 1 and 2 on 360? I haven't tried, I know a decent amount of game aren't backwards compat.

Now that Bungie is gone, I think it's very likely that Microsoft will do just that to get more money out of the franchise.

I would buy Halo and Halo 2 remake if they offered online. Online alone would be the selling point. Reach is terrific, but honestly, Halo 2 had the best damn multiplayer I've ever played.

No. Reach proved to me that there is hope for the series to climb out of the slums of averageness. The last thing the series needs is to go backwards.

No need really. Halo and Halo 2 can already be played on the 360, and it upscales them. Would an actual port/remake look better? Sure, but it would be a pointless waste of resources.

Pretty much this, though it would allow 360 people to play the online again if they don't screw up remaking it.

Absolutely not. The selling point would be playing these games on Xbox Live. Yes, you can play those games on the Xbox 360 already -- but the original Xbox servers were SHUT DOWN. You can't play the original Xbox games online anymore.

Ahh I voted on the poll before I realized you meant a GoW Collection-style update with an HD overhaul. I thought you meant remake them from scratch, and I think it's too soon to remake a game from 2001 or so.

Why would people choose to play Halo 1 or 2 online? Any fan of Halo will already have Reach to play.

They are both already playable on the 360 with the limited BC on 360 being extended to those games, but I'd enjoy it. PS3 has been getting all the good HD remakes, I'm sure two Halo remakes with some achievements and HD would be stellar, it would also be itneresting to hear what remake hating lems would have to say for themselves.

yep. for two reasons:

1. I would like to own the two games. asI've only played them through borrowing orfrom playing them at myfriend's house years ago. andI only put off buying them because Iswear a remake will happen.money would feel wasted if these later versions restored an online mode for CE/2. and with better graphics.

2. 343 Industries needs to start somewhere(an actual game, not a Halo APP/Anime), and this would be perfect.

3. edit, glitchspot can go to hell for not accepting spaces between so many words:|

That would be a huge waste of resources. The games still play great for their age. Changing a few things up isnt really worth the time and money.

Maybe Halo CE...I can't imagine a remake adding much to that game, though. Halo 2 isn't worth rereleasing at all.

Like I've said before, I think 343's first project will be Halo CE made with the Reach engine + the complete Reach multiplayer collection disc (ala ODST)

Only if they significantly reworked Halo 2's campaign/storytelling.

Not remake them, but remaster them in HD and release them on XBLA. Knowing M$, this is asking for far too much though.

as in just spruce up the graphics? no..pointless exercise. however go back and also fix the problems of the older games? that coud be kewl. examples of a few improvements: 1) completly reingeneer the flood as an enemy...there bad, there not fun to fight and they dont do the games any favours in their current form. 2) the library level in H1...scrap it and make a new one. the level is complete crap. keep the same overall theme but just make the level better. 3) kinda related to point 2...get rid of the copy and paste level design in many places and improve them. 4) improve the story in H2 and have a much better ending. the game lost alot of the charm of the first one. 5) replace the assault rifle in H2 with the one in H1. much nicer rifle in H1. 6) bring the health system from H1 into H2. recharging shields..non recharging health please.

You can play them on 360 because it actually has BC. No need to pay if you already have the game.

They should remake them on the 3ds.....im serious, the 3ds would be able to handle the remakes, halo on the go, and with some slick 3d effects and depth perception would be pretty sick. I know it wont happen but it would be awesome.

now that you mention it. I remember the ghosting from a couple mission starts.

but it wasn't that bad.

I remember loading saved games too. those took forever, but I wouldn't know if it was the same thing with the original Xbox.

Yes they should! I would gladly pay $60 for Halo 1 & 2 with achievements, up-resed, leaderboards and Xbox Live multiplayer for both. But this should have been in the 360 board since all the cows/fanboys/haters are gonna vote no

Maybe a quick HD port for next gen consoles. Nothing more. The games are fine as is, especially the original Halo.

They were making a Halo for DS, so it's more likely than you might think... Still, nah.
