The Forgers and Customs guys are gonna have to work like crazy to get customs back up and running. I can't wait for all the customs from 2 and 3. Should be great.
-
Halo 2 Anniversary soundtrack anyone? I remember buying CEA's in October before it came out I think. I speculate that it's probable we'll hear something about it soon.
-
I heard that you get to play as an elite in some of the games.
-
Will Halo 2 be vanilla or title update?
-
Might be worth pointing out H3 & H4 are still getting full graphics upgrades, OP makes it sound like they are in their original form
-
Will it be on Xbox 360?
-
I am very excited for it.

Where the hell is Goat?
-
Hey, did you post this on Waypoint, or perhaps C&P some of it? I recall seeing an exact similar thread there.
-
I wonder if H2A will ship alone for x360?
-
Why did they make Arbiter look so evil. Even Jul Mdama looks friendlier.
-
From the NeoGaf threads: Look at the last few pages http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=580093 First look at CGI trailer 30 Skulls

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWODLCOINIo&feature=youtu.be]lHeeeeeere comes the bullshit![/url] Multiplayer playlist system is trash and whoever came up with it needs a timeout.
-
Combat Evolved has the anniversary treatment with the MCC from what Frankie said
-
The male speakers voice though... (Shivers)
-
I would bang that women. Also that guy has to be some type of gaming god in order to successfully play a game without facing the screen.
-
I'm hearing different things from people. Is it definite that only 6 maps will get new graphics and the rest will be in their original graphic state?
-
tfw halo communities outside of the halo archive/lore based groups are fun to visit again

[url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116092208&postcount=1010]theater mode is only in for 3/4 and prologue/epilogue will detail a connection story that isn't the events of first strike.[/url]

I hate toggle crouch. Ugh. Glad I switched that back in Halo 4. Still shouldn't be at the B button though.
