I would be...astounded. If it happens, I think EVERY Halo 2 map should be included (even the DLC ones). I could care less of campaign, as I still have the original Halo's on my shelf.

Make it 4 player co-op (like they should have with the first one) and then we'll talk.

Really? Having 4 players in levels designed for 2 doesn't sound like much fun. The worst problems in co-op games is when a player bringing up the rear sees no action.

I'm looking forward to this one. Out of all the Halo games, I spent the least amount of time in the campaign of Halo 2. It will be nice to revisit the campaign with better controls and graphics (and online co-op).

Options, options. Just because it's there doesn't mean you're required to use it, but for those who want it...it's there.

As I recall, you weren't too crazy about Perfect Dark HD campaign getting cut from 8 players to 2, despite the original Perfect Dark having been designed for 2. Has your opinion changed, or are you just biased because we're talking about Halo?

I would imagine that there would be ways to compensate for the increased number of players. You could make enemies tougher or spawn more in for example. Four players worked well in Reach, and I bet it would have worked just as well in Combat Evolved. Some of those levels are huge. I say the more the merrier.

I had a lot of other gripes with Anniversary, but I think that was my most wanted feature.

I was excited that it had 8 player co-op, not knowing that it was originally designed for 2 (I had very little experience with it). So yes, that announcement was a "bummer" as I described.

I've always been a fan of options, but that doesn't mean I'll play 4 player co-op in a 2 player game and enjoy it just because there are 4 players. There are a few levels in Halo 2 that may be fun like that, but many of them are too tight for 4 players. I'm definitely not opposed to the feature if 343 decides to add it, but I don't think it will work out too well.

Nothing ever works out "too well".

I was never a big fan of this campaign. The only thing that I thought was good about it was how challenging coop legendary was when you couldn't respawn. I did enjoy getting around the graphic walls and finding giant soccer balls and stuff but the story itself was poor in my opinion. When the covenant were all just bent on humanity's destruction, it made them better bad-guys. I think they over-humanized the elites in this campaign and it made them less intimidating and less satisfying to kill. Also, I liked halo 1's grunt voices the most.

I would have asked for 4 player co-op too, but then CEA came to mind. They could have done 4 player as well, but you guys already talked about it. 2 is dandy for me.
