Halo 2: Anniversary

Re: diff @Ditto51, I'm hashing this out here since it has come up a few times already. In writing the current version of the article, no source has announced a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition as a separate entity or edition, though it may be colloquially referred to as such, in relation to Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary). When sources describe the games included, they predominantly refer to the four without the Anniversary appended because those are the core games included in the package, and that is how we should describe it. To refer to Halo 2 Anniversary being included is misleading since there is no Halo 2 Anniversary. However, every game in the package received a graphical upgrade (mainly to 60 fps/1080p), and Halo 2 received an "Anniversary-style" overhaul, which should be described as such (as it is in the article). But in the way the package is set up, it's not like HCEA and a new Halo 2 Anniversary were bundled together here, but that there are four games included, and the graphical versions of the first two game have Anniversary-style remasters. czar ♔ 12:52, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

It can't be brought separately, but it is Halo 2 Anniversary. They have stated that. Halo CE Anniversary is being used in place of Halo CE, and Halos 3 and 4 are only be tweaked slightly for 60fps and 1080p, Halo 2 is being completely re-skinned like HCEA. Halo 3 will still look similar, 2 will be completely different and allow you to toggle between the old graphics and the new.--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 13:34, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Right—my point is that when describing the contents of the collection, we should be following the sources in saying it contains "Halo 2" instead of "Halo 2 Anniversary" since its Anniversary part is not a separate entity. Anyway, it's fine now as phrased. czar ♔ 13:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Surely we should be following the trailers which state "Halo 2 Anniversary"?--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 08:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Actually, we follow what the reliable, independent sources say. There will be some instances where it will make sense to refer to Halo 2: Anniversary (e.g., the remastered H2 multiplayer mode, when compared to the non-remastered H2 multiplayer mode) but otherwise it makes more sense to call it the "remastered Halo 2 campaign" unless the sources change their talk and begin calling the discrete entity something with Anniversary in its title. czar ♔ 15:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I've just redirected Halo 2 Anniversary back to here. - X201 (talk) 08:26, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Well I strongly believe that halo 2 anniversary should have its own article as we already know a lot about it.--BarsofGold (talk) 17:26, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Given that much of the development info can be put here, the only real reason we should split the articles is if this one becomes too ungainly or reviewers start treating the two as separate entities (for example, giving H2A a review score and then the rest of the package.)

Content Clarification

I was wondering if anyone could clarify the article's description of exactly what game modes this collection contains. It's easy to understand that it contains all the campaigns, but I can't tell if every version of the original multiplayers are left intact, or if it's just the maps that are available in specific game's modes. For example, is one able to play multiplayer using the original Halo: Combat Evolved game physics? 198.150.44.106 (talk) 16:07, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

EVERYTHING was left intact plus there is also an additional multiplayer for the halo 2 anniversary maps.--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 17:17, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Manual of Style

I have edited the platform listed as Xbox Cloud Gaming because in Manual of Style, it says to not include streaming services as a platform, any takers would be helpful to resolve this across other games also listing that, thankyou! StarStorm10 (talk) 18:38, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Noob Here

Just wanted to let you guys know that there's a typo in the Release section at the bottom of the page stating, "The day one patch will also be download ahead of time" just thought you should know and feel free to delete this if it doesn't belong here.

Why is bungie's name on Halo:MCC, when they were done with halo after reach?

IT Techhie! (talk) 03:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Likely because they were the original developers of games being remastered czar ♔ 04:20, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Day one patch size correction

Minor correction, but the current article says it is 20GB, but it is being reported as 15GB.

Additional work by United Front Games

(First time editor/poster, so please forgive any mistakes in protocol) United Front Games did the Unified Frontend for the Master Chief collection. It wasn't widely publicized, but it's clear on the UFG website. This is a key component of the game as it ties together all four titles and multiplayer experiences. Please add "United Front Games (unified frontend)" to the Additional Work section.
