"Halo 2: Anniversary Edition is not in development at 343 Industries, according to latest reports. The Halo 4 and Combat Evolved Anniversary developer reportedly said that it was too busy to develop a sequel in a Q&amp;amp;A session on The Halo Council.   &amp;quot;We are not working on that at this time. We are kind of busy,&amp;quot; explained a 343 spokesperson in response to a question about the likelihood of a Halo 2 remake. Microsoft has refused to comment on the authenticity of the Q&amp;amp;A and the existence of a Halo 2 HD port, telling CVG: &amp;quot;Our focus right now is on developing Halo 4. Beyond that, we do not comment on rumours or speculation.&amp;quot; The original Halo 2 released for the Xbox in November 2004. Any remake would almost certainly appear in 2014 to mark the ten-year anniversary. Last year&amp;#039;s Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary contained HD visuals, as well as a co-operative campaign and online multiplayer. It also introduced a classic mode, allowing players to switch back to the original visuals at any time, as well as story teasers for Halo 4, which is released later this year. Halo 4 was named &amp;#039;Best Shooter&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Best Multiplayer&amp;#039; during Digital Spy&amp;#039;s Best of E3 2012 awards. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s review of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary &amp;gt; Retro Corner: &amp;#039;Halo 2&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for last year&amp;#039;s Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
