Just be Halo 2.
By:Leviathan
Date: 2/7/14 11:26 pm
In Response To: Halo 2 Anniversary Wishlist (RC Master)

-Include the complete Xbox Live multiplayer that defined it, especially since the original is the only Halo game that was made for online play that is currently impossible to be used in that way (not counting the Vista port, if that's still going). The loss of the original Xbox servers still makes me sad.

-No changes in art direction - ideally no new or old graphics modes at all. Just the old graphics, with sharper resolutions, better anti-aliasing, no pop-in glitches, no disappearing snow if you're looking in the wrong direction on Sacred Icon. Stuff like that. It should be the game I remember, just sharpened, clearer, glitch-free. Do not play the author with it and try to change what it is, to make it some conception of what you, the studio working on it, thinks it should be, because you are not Bungie, the author. Act as an archeologist, a preserver, not a meddler.

-If you ARE going to make your own graphics, please don't copy and paste different models from different games - the different styles clash and kill my brain! And for god sakes, don't just plug in motion-capture animations without modifying them to fit the unique characters!

-No new music or sound effects. The original was in 5.1. It still sounds perfect.

-And my secret wish: give me a little option in the settings to turn off the blue filter in the menu so I can see how pretty New Mombassa is in all its orange glory...
