Halo 2 Anniversary could happen

A Halo 2 Anniversary game is 'being discussed', according to Microsoft Studios vice president Phil Spencer.

2014 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the popular shooter's launch, with many people predicting that a special edition will be released to celebrate.

A teaser trailer for a new Halo game was revealed at the Xbox One E3 conference, but according to Spencer that doesn't rule out an anniversary edition just yet.

"I'll be open," he told IGN. "We have discussions about it. It's more about the right time and making sure that we really would do the right thing for the franchise.

"The Halo Anniversary that we did was as much about the launch of the first Xbox as well. It was a culmination of many things coming together. It would probably run out of steam if we were trying to think about, 'Okay, what's 10 years old now?'

"It's definitely more from the game itself, the experience that we're able to bring to market. Less about 'is the last digit a zero?' in terms of its anniversary."
