Update: Halo series developer 343 Industries has reportedly denied that a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition is currently in the works.

The developer reportedly quashed the rumor via an internal company resource for retailers called Microsoft ExpertZone. "We are not working on that at this time. We are kind of busy," said an unidentified 343 representative.

Original Story: According to the rumor section of the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine, a remake of Halo 2 is currently in development at 343 Industries.

According to the magazine, "Following the success of remake Halo Anniversary, 343 Industries has now started development of Halo 2 Anniversary." There is no real evidence or sources to substantiate the claim, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Halo 2 get a high-definition remake. Maybe a remake could afford Halo 2 the opportunity to have a real ending.

They should add multiplayer this time and not something from Reach.
by AsyluMadness Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 04:53 PM

That would be incredible.
by Companion Cube Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 04:56 PM

Unlike Halo CE Anniversary, I would buy this.

EDIT: If it's Halo related and in OXM, it's true.

As long as the leave the scarab gun.

"Maybe a remake could afford Halo 2 the opportunity to not have a real ending." What does this mean i dont get it?
by NumbKillinSkull Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:02 PM

My favorite Halo game get an HD remake? YES PLEASE!
by badantjoka4k Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:03 PM

I would LOVE a Halo 3 Anniversary edition. But don't these have to come out 10 years after the original release date?
by Zig Zaggler Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:11 PM

This would be great, definitely my favorite game in the series.
by Chromashadow Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:12 PM

I'd buy it.
by Blake Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:15 PM

I wouldn't mind that at all. I was actually surprised by Halo Anniversary 1. It was a nice change from the usual HD collections we get.
by unholyrevenger72 Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:23 PM

probably launch game for the neXtbox in 2014 for Halo 2's 10 year anniversary
by Commander Shepard Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:23 PM

This would be the most incredible thing ever. Talk about nostalgia...

Fresh hot chicken from Walmart is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
by MentalYinYang Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:24 PM

I wonder why. Remaking the original made sense but the 2nd, I dont know.
by M1 Punk Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:32 PM

Halo AE should have been a 1200 MP download. I was hoping the MP would have been just as awesome as back in the PC days but it turned out to be... Reach.
by Kflame210 Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:38 PM

Im sorry I don't want to sound like a fanboy but this popped into my head: Sony: Packs as many games into one collection as possible at a discount price Microsoft: Could easily put two games on one disc but instead makes you pay for two
by Vanlinkenstein Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:40 PM

I hope this is true, Halo 2's campaign was my favorite.
by Mr. Derp Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:40 PM

Say what you want about Halo 2's single player, but the multiplayer was second to none. I have never had more fun with a games' MP than I did sinking thousands of hours in Halo 2's multiplayer. I still don't know about an anniversary, doesn't seem like it came out that long ago.
by Gobzer Sunday, July 08, 2012 at 05:40 PM

If this is true they should release a pack with this game, the first Anniversary game, Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. So I can get them ALL in one fell swoop
