Studio head Frank O’Connar, who announced the game and the ARG early this morning, told the invited press, “We are happy to be able to help complete the cycle of Halo on the XBox 360. There are some people who have never had the chance to play the original Halo 2 because it was only available on the XBox. Now, they can get the full glory of the game’s story including its…. controversial abrupt ending as well as full Achievement support this fall. On top of the single player HD remix, there will be full makeover on the multiplayer too including new weapons from the other games in the classic Halo 2 maps.”

So you ask, how does this count as a Monday Freeview since Halo 2 isn’t out today? Because you still get a free ARG with a great prize for its winners. Make sure to head directly to the site and see if you can figure out the code for Halo 2: HD Remix on XBLA with the hints given.
