President, one of the multiplayer design leads on the original Halo 2, helped 343 Industries design and create the remastered multiplayer component. Many of the added features in the remastered maps were proposed for the original game but ended up being cut; thus, 343 Industries considers the remastered component a 'Director's Cut' of sorts.The developers' stated goals for the remastered maps were to expand upon the core Halo 2 experience, create the definitive version of each of the remastered maps, and to approach the remastering as more of an upgrade than a remake.

Multiple aspects of the sandbox were tweaked to both improve and 'modernize' the gameplay, although the goal is to remain faithful to the original experience. Some of these improvements include a boost to player speed, making the more powerful and the addition of the as a mid-range weapon option, something the developers found lacking in the original. The has also been added along with the newly introduced.As an added feature, players are able to choose their weapon set upon spawning, similar to the system in.

Forge maps.Development. The Arbiter and Master Chief, with Installation 05 and in the background. Cinematics While Saber Interactive produced the cutscenes in-engine in, digital animation company (who previously worked on the cinematics) was contracted to create pre-rendered CGI cinematics for Halo 2: Anniversary. This was a considerable undertaking, as the game's cutscenes contain a total of 58 minutes of footage. However, since the template for the cinematics' structure and composition already existed in the form of the original Halo 2 cutscenes, it was easier for Blur to focus on issues like visual fidelity than in a typical project in which they are forced to work with little to no such source material.The character animations were created through technology; the new models for certain characters, such as and, are also modeled after their motion capture actors. The action scenes, which involve a great deal of movement on part of the characters, proved a challenge for the actors, particularly because the facial and bodily performances were captured separately.

In one scene (the closing of ), for example, the motion capture actor for Sgt. Johnson and the Arbiter, is fighting 'himself'.

The soundtrack is available as a double CD, digital download, and a limited edition vinyl record.Every sound effect from the original has been redone, including weapons, vehicles and ambient sounds. The Anniversary mode also features an overhauled audio engine, with new reflection and level of distance systems to more realistically model the sound effects' interaction with the environment, accounting for level geometry and distance in the propagation of weapon sounds. Each weapon's sound effects have been changed to make every weapon seem more intimidating.

The audio team disseminated the original sounds in detail and attempted to find specific identifying characteristics of them to emulate in the new ones. Similar to the weapon sound effects in, source material for the new sounds was recorded with actual weapons fire. The developers picked weapons they felt had distinctive firing reports, including the, the and the. New source material for the 's sound effects—which the audio team wanted to sound more powerful than originally—was created by recording the sizzling and crackling sounds created by placing ball bearings on dry ice.The toggle between the original and the remastered audio are tied to the graphics switch and cannot be changed independently.
