I'm extremely hype for this coming out on November 11th, exclusively for the XBOX ONE. I'm more hype about this than Destiny, and even more hype for this than MKX. Crazy I know, but Halo 2 in particular means a lot to me. It was my very first online game and the experience I had with it is unmatched. I've been wanting ever since H3 a re-release of Halo 2 with updated and HD graphics, with online capability. And not only am I getting that, but I'm getting Halo's 1-4 with ALL the DLC!! I mean, all of this for $60 is pretty unbelievable if you ask me. And you can play in classic H2, or "new H2" (or whatever they're going to call it) for multiplayer. I believe the "new H2" has new gameplay elements, while the classic is 100% true to the original. I'm eager to try out both, omfg I'm getting way too hype about this!
I'll try out all the Halo's on this, but will be playing Halo 2 most of the time and Halo 1 every now and then. Also, with dedicated servers, the online experience will be much better than it was 9 years ago. Am I the only one hype as hell for this? Where's my Halo fans at!?
Something this guy says in the video is 100% true. A lot of newer gamers won't understand why people are so hype or are wanting this so badly. They see Halo 2 and go "meh, looks pretty much like the other Halo's", and just go about their merry way. Which is understandable, it does LOOK like the other Halo's. But the gameplay is completely different, and there's so much more skill involved than a lot of shooters today. Not only this, but the nostalgia is too strong. Imagine everyone who is on XBL right now. Now imagine that 95% of them are playing the same game as you. Which means, pretty much the entire XBL community is playing the same thing, which is exactly how it was back when Halo 2 was at its prime. There weren't thousands of other games to play online, there were a select few and a lot of them were terrible. I can go on and on but it won't ever convince you until you play it. And even then, unless you experienced Halo 2 in its hayday, I doubt you'd ever understand how I and others feel about Halo 2.
