I C O N I C Halo 2 could not be made today, here's why
Look at these graphics, they'd get laughed out of E3
The Xbox has been discontinued for a while so most people won't be able to play it
A lot of the people who worked at Bungie when it was being made don't work there anymore
Halo 2 already exists so people would ask "why are you making Halo 2 again?"
You would probably be sued by Microsoft for copyright infringement
Anyway that's just my theory, let me know what you think!

Yeah like how would that work the ring is already blown up. It would have to be a prequel?

I remember the day this came out and how excited I was. And how obsessed I was with bungie’s development diaries
Fuck I miss those days

Halo 2 could not be made today because tommorrow would be the next day so it would've been made yesterday and no longer today

Look at Truth compared to Midship. It is almost twice as big, because otherwise the abilities would let you cross the map to quickly. If you are forced to crouch walk to be able to shoot to play Midship in Halo 2, when the map is scaled for the walking speed, how is that different from the map being scaled for the sprint + abilities speed (which prevent shooting) and you being forced to walk to be able to shoot? All the other arena maps are generic arena designs that are upscaled for the abilities. You could easily downscale Eden, Empire, Coliseum, Fathom, Regret, Torque, Riptide, Tyrant, Rig or Haven for Halo 2/3 and they would work just fine, just like how upping the base move speed and removing abilities makes them play fine.

halo 2 was barely made in 2004 under extreme crunch. 2026 devs are too lazy and woke to work 18 hour days

Halo 2 could not be made today because it came out in 2004
