Halo 3 Anniversary... Why Do You Want It?

May I ask why Halo 3 Anniversary is demanded so frequently by people?
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary added online coop, achievements, skulls, terminals, etc. to the original game while Halo 2 Anniversary did most of that and brought back the original multiplayer. What's there to do with Halo 3? It has skulls, terminals, achievements, online coop, and its multiplayer is still up on two platforms. The only things that could conceivably be done to improve Halo 3 are enhanced visuals and an overhauled forge mode; that's hardly worth $80.00 (CAD).

I'm sorry, but it really seems as though you people only want Halo 3 Anniversary because the first two games were remastered and while I can see the argument for that, it doesn't really matter when the final product really has nothing to gain from being remastered (unless, of course, it saw a PC release as it'd be the first time the game was available on that platform.)

If they ever make a halo 3 Anniversary then it should at least be on the Xbox 3 or up in MCC 2. (halo 1-6) by the time the xbox 3 comes out the graphics would probably make it worth it to remaster it.

Halo 3 on the 360 is basically dead. And the MCC isn't a great place to play Halo 3 since you may end up playing CE, 2, or 4 instead. Also the MCC still has problems and lacks a proper ranking system. I don't really care for Halo 5's enhanced mobility style of gameplay. I just want a good, classic Halo experience that works properly and isn't shared with 3 other games. To be more specific I want a reliable way to play Halo 3 in this case.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection has dedicated playlists for each Halo title. Want to only play Halo 3? Choose that playlist.

Do you really think one or two playlists is enough? Also you completely disregarded the part where I said the MCC still has many problems. A good portion of the community is starved for a proper classic Halo experience. I don't really see a problem with us wanting that. Halo 3 Anniversary would satiate our hunger for a game like that.

I used to have two playlists on there before the Halo 3 guys took over Team Hardcore, so I made do with one. As for MCC's issues, you can resolve those by playing customs.

The true hardcore devoted fans who've spent countless hours on the business ends of their Battle Rifles know exactly why they want a Halo 3: Anniversary, me especially: it represented not only a time in our lives where we had the whole world to ourselves, but also a time where game development was taken seriously. Nowadays, most franchise releases are barely a shell of their former selves, especially Halo.

You could argue that we have the MCC to go back and relive, but that's hardly the case. The game is simply too broken to enjoy its lacking reward system or once-stellar multiplayer suite. And what's even worse is that 343i had one job, literally one job, to make it a hit, and they dropped the ball. All the MCC was essentially was a port of four existing games, with boosted visuals and audio for Halo 2 Anniversary, and an advanced(?) user interface for all games. Their only job was quality control and testing, to guarantee a solid launch release with little to no problems, and yet they still couldn't get that right.

With a potential Halo 3: Anniversary, it would be a much simpler attempt at remastering something on its own solo outting. Even then I wouldn't trust 343i to make me a cup of coffee without dropping a bug in it, so I have my doubts of both its existence and whether or not it would live up to the hype.
