: I've been thinking about Halo's falling popularity a lot and solutions will
: not be easy.

: 343i has got to make the jump to XB1, irresistible. Otherwise the community
: will be split and die off quickly on both platforms.

: While a bunch of map remakes for Halo 4 360 would be great, I think it may
: still be a long hard road to Halo 5. People who have XB1, want to play on
: them and there is only so much time to play.

: One or more Halo campaign remakes, by themselves, will not get enough Halo
: fans moved to XB1. Multiplayer has to be included. Many people I know only
: want one platform to deal with. Perhaps, if 343i staggered the release of
: campaign remakes over 2014 and 2015, the Halo spirit may be kept alive, in
: a fashion. People might play them between Destiny adventures and going
: back to Halo 4 360.

: If multiplayer is offered on XB1 then it has to include a shit ton of maps
: and it has to look and act modern. An exact re-do of Halo 2 multiplayer
: isn't enough or even close. All that'll do is split the community between
: two platforms. I think an upgraded Halo 4 multiplayer engine on XB1 with
: remakes of many maps plus a mix of old and new, game types, equipment,
: vehicles and weapons is the sweet spot.

: If Spartan Ops reappears and is on either platform, I'll happy enough but I
: don't know if it could carry people over to XB1 without multiplayer.

On Halo 2 Anniversary - if it is Xbox One only, I think I'd be quite annoyed given that the original trilogy would not be complete as 360 versions.
