With the recent Halo 2 Anniversary rumors I've seen the "nostalgic" word being tossed around quite frequently. I know many people like to bring up nostalgia as a reason that people want something to return. Saying that it'll never be the same and such(which it wouldn't, it never could). Basically, everyone that doesn't care or doesn't want Halo 2 to return calls all of the Halo 2 fans nostalgic fanboys. Could they be something more than that though? Is it possible that people may still enjoy Halo 2 over basically any modern game? Is it really just all nostalgia? The way I look at it is I STILL play Halo 2. I love going back and doing glitches on splitscreen on the 360 or original xbox. I play halo 2 on the PC. I play Halo 2 on XBC from time to time. I've even done the campaign several times on both platforms within the past few years. I would just love to have consistent online Halo 2 back with enough population to find BTB games. Now let's look at what nostalgia really is. Nostalgia is looking back at something with rose tinted glasses. It's looking back and realizing that a game and the time it was in was fun but things have changed and the game has aged. Their would be essentially no way that the game or a remake of it could ever hold your attention. I would find that to be a very hard thing for me to avoid playing H2A every single day for at least a year straight. Maybe missing a stray day here or their. It's one of the very few exceptions though. A good example of nostalgia for me is Goldeneye 007 and it's not because the remake was trash. Goldeneye 007 was fun for it's time but it certainly lost it's luster. I'm not going to say that I couldn't go back and play it with some friends and have some fun. I would definitely be able to have fun. I just wouldn't be able to have nearly as fun as I did back in the day. The fun would also start to wear off quite quickly. I know when I speak for myself that a Halo 2 remake would be more than a filler game that I set down after playing for a week. I would play it very consistently like it was a brand new game. So what do you think about the subject? Do you think that too many people just assume that you couldn't have a good time with a Halo 2 remake? Do you think that people just don't understand that sometimes it isn't all about nostalgia? I'm just curious to know if any other true Halo 2 fans are bugged by this subject?
