The news was revealed over the weekend during RTX, Coagulation joins Ascension (revealed at E3) as being one of six Halo 2 maps being remastered for Halo 2: Anniversary, so four more maps are to be revealed for the makeover. Coagulation, of course, was a remake of the map Blood Gulch from Halo: Combat Evolved. 343 released a few pieces of concept art to give you an idea of the direction they’re going with the reimagining.
Terminals will be making a reappearance in Halo 2: Anniversary, but whereas in Halo: Anniversary they gave hints about the Halo 4 story through motion comics, Halo 2 will feature hints at the Halo 5 storyline. The new trailer shown at the weekend re-introduces us to foe turned friend The Arbiter, hinting at some of the wrongs he has done in the past. The Halo 5 hints will be taken from The Arbiter’s perspective.
Finally, 343 introduced another upgrade being introduced. This takes the Mongoose from Halo 3 and adds an anti-infantry weapon to the front
