Halo 2: Anniversary (Speculation)

Before I get any flames, I want to say that I acknowledge that there are no known plans for any [i]Halo 2[/i] remakes. This is just speculation. So let's pretend there'll be a [i]Halo 2: Anniversary[/i] rolling around on November 9, 2014. Let's start with graphics. Obviously, it would make sense if the Covenant retained their [url=http://cdn.devicemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HaloAnniversaryKinect.jpg][i]Anniversary[/i] designs[/url], (and [url=http://www.halopedia.org/images/f/f0/HaloReach_-_Drone.png][i]Reach[/i] designs[/url], in some cases, preferably not the Brutes') given the short period of time between the destruction of Installation 04 and the damnation of Thel 'Vadamee (see "Arbiter"). And honestly, I would'nt be suprised if 343 Industries managed to take [i]Halo Wars[/i]'s Arbiter to replace the [url=http://www.halopedia.org/images/a/a9/Halo3-ArbiterCarbine.png][i]Halo 3[/i]-era armor[/url]. But some things, namely the Brutes, Prophets, and the Master Chief's armor, will need a complete overhaul. The [Austin Powers voice]shaggy[/Austin Powers voice] fur, the chin-mounted testicles, the Mark VI... these things haven't been seen in a [i]Halo[/i] game since [i]ODST[/i], and we can't exactly take the sprites from games that old (and I don't think [i]Halo 3[/i]'s Brutes would fit anyway, to be honest; after the secession of the Elites, the Brutes were given a higher position, which meant they had to shave. Which resulted in them looking like the lovechild of [url=http://www.totalwallpapers.com/games/wallpapers/god-of-war-kratos-02.jpg]Kratos[/url] and some kind of [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PBDHM5HFW14/TOVHoiBTqFI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ToeG4NA-i4Q/s1600/gorilla_02.jpg]gorilla[/url]). Along with redesigning the Campaign levels, there will be weapons and aliens and whatnot to remodel. Another thing that might be worth considering is: the game physics. I imagine 343 Industries would slap a fresh layer of graphics on everything and change it out, like with [i]Halo: Anniversary[/i]. But something worth considering is a second disk, an alternate playing mode, or some other alternative. Weapon and vehicle physics are that of [i]Halo 4[/i]. Obviously, we wouldn't have only [i]Halo 4[/i] weapons. We would, instead, have the classic [i]Halo 2[/i] weapons, including the SMG. However, we would also have the weapons seen in [i]Halo 3: ODST[/i], such as the [url=http://www.halopedia.org/images/0/05/Halo3_ODST_w_Silenced-SMG-Right.png]Silenced SMG[/url] and the [url=http://www.halopedia.org/images/6/65/M6C_SOCOM_r.png]Automag[/url], as well as the MA5C Assault Rifle and the six-shot Brute Shot. While the first gameplay mode would be truer to the original gameplay, the second would be truer to canon. And if the Library returns: [u][i][b]DON'T[/b][/i][/u] make it Kinect-exclusive. This was just a cheap method of getting people to buy that troublesome piece of junk. That was a bad idea, 343i, and we all know it. Don't do it again. Any more ideas?
