I still maintain that CEA was not terrible, and did a lot of things right. But, if you want to water it down, I would agree that CEA would have done just fine with a graphical overhaul only, everything else untouched.

: But Halo 2? Halo 2 I'd enjoy if it was a true remake. Tweaked gameplay,
: improved level design, better enemy AI, and giving Legendary jackal
: snipers focus rifles instead. Halo 2's campaign (barring later levels) is
: the epitome of wasted potential. Outskirts was bland, Metropolis was
: miniscule, there was no ending, no tie-in to Halo 3...

: And the MP, while memorable, and essentially the only MP I played for three
: years, was very flawed. Unfortunately, your suggestions about Halo 4 maps
: is ironically a bad move, since Halo 4 MP sucks really bad after this last
: update... I'd argue it's on par with Halo 2's last days...

I did also suggest those maps make an appearance for Halo 5, but the thing about Halo 2's maps is that they are dynamic and have intractable objects, something that Halo 4 maps do not outside of Dominion. The lack of one sided objective also would not make a good case for Halo 4. BUT, Halo 5? I'd love to see more maps like Halo 2.

At HBOhio we played a game of CTF on Containment that hit me right in the feels :'(

I miss that map so much.

Anyway, there is a difference between remake and re-release. Halo 2's campaign could see drastic changes and I would be OK. (I think I can hear Levi having a heart attack from here haha)

I don't really care about MP if that is remade or not. Halo 2 MP day as king has passed, and it should stay that way. Bring on the new and improved, please.
