i have a very wierd problem. Everytime i try to load a map it takes like 5mins to load if its a small map and up to 15 mins to load a large map. This is a big pain especially in matchmaking. I can load the maps it just takes a very long time. its been 1 month since it started and i cant figure it out. It has not gotton better. Before i was able to play matches all day with no problems this just happened on day. CAN ANYONE HELP?

I remember when I stood in line on november 9th 2004 and got interviewed by this guy doing an extra credit statsics project, because he was going to miss a test the next day.
I remember the first time I beat Halo 2 I was waiting for the next level to load and then the credits started.
I remember a custom game on lock out with this new guy we had just met in the game before, he owned my friend and I even after we teamed up against him.
I remember constantly quoting tartarus' lines and recording a parody of Halo 1 with my best friend. good times.

Send A Friend Request to Schloxictonkey if you need a good teammate and you are good

I remember when I first played halo 2. it was february of last year, my sisters stupid boyfreind who was really dum and I hated him and the only thing I ever liked about him was he brought his xbox over and introduced me to halo 2, and Xbox live. I used to play goldeneye and I would dream of playing with people across the internet, cause all my friends were terrible and wouldn't play with me cause I would Bape them. It was so fantastic. then I found out about superjumping and button combos.... I was completely hooked and bought an xbox and halo 2 and live. I made my gamertag ToxicSchlonkey, cause donkeyschlong and schlonkey were already taken. wow. what a trip its been. it sucked me in and became my life. I think last time I checked between the two gamertags..... oh ya, I got a new gamertag cause I couldnt migrate my old one from my original box, I got the 360 so that I could buy the new maps.... bitter? very. now the price drop... Im very bitter. its ok though, its my fault for being so obsessed with it. I hope my 360 doesnt burn out before I get arthritis from halo 3. I took a month off to start talking to people in real life again, and get a girlfriend. now i've had my fun and im gonna enjoy my last month on halo 2 before waiting outside EB. yep. halo 2 is still the best game ever made, and i've still never played another game for xbox or 360 (except terrible crackdown and the frankenstein J awesome halo 3 beta. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CANT WAITTTTTTTT

IB. The bane of my existence.

I don't have a lot of memories because I just got live. =[
I think my fondest memories in my short time on Halo 2 live are
-The first time I didn't come in last for matchmaking
-Playing Zombie, Hide and Seek, Tower of Power etc. all night with my friends.
-My first Berserker and Killtacular awards.

I wanna do it again but now none of my friends play Halo 2, and when they do, they play matchmaking.

I would like to keep this relatively fun and clean. It should be good fun for all members old and new, as well as the moderators.

With Halo 3 ready for launch and the days of Halo 2 dwindling away. this will be a place for us to leave our memories of our times on this site as well as on Halo 2. Please keep it clean and no flaming. Please remember famous threads, or memorable times on here and or on XBL while playing Halo 2.

Remember when............

I held the first successful FFA games.

Any thread started by OC Girl was guaranteed to go over 6 pages. =P

When Lord and Lady Newt got married.


mannnn im tired hearin bout dat female OC Girl she aint dat good and all dat ok and plus she uglyy as helllllllllllll boyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Although I have only been playing on live for almost a month, I have some fond memories

-First killtacular, then later the same game a Killfrenzy :\
-level 18 in Team Sniper's on Dial-up net :D
-Halo 2 finally realising my connection aint good enough to be host
-21 kills before I got booted from an MLG game :| without glitching of course :)
-20 kill killspree in a swat game with some friends :P
-sniping superbouncer's on there way up
-A very strange encounter with some random guy on ivory tower, I was in the hallway with the over shield and he was at the top, we saw each other through the glass and we both started crouching up and down :P
-a game that wasnt hella laggy! (must have had an australian as host)
-carrying the team on Dial-up and not on host :)

there will be plenty more when Halo 3 is released. hope to see everyone there :)

-When BTB and Team Skirmish Assault still had sudden death.
-Getting lost on BTB maps the first few times I played on them.
-First time I learned how to play coop campaign on XBC. (That's all I'm saying about that.)
-The first person added to my friends list was from a Halo2 game. Still there, too.
-Halo 2 completely converting me from a ps2 fan to xbox and never looking back.
-Unlocking Foundation by beating the campaign before it was unlocked for everyone.

Jokes about deaths aren't funny.

Just asking... how does "lady/lord newt", "dd chaos", and "OC girl" know eachother so well? and how does everyone here know them? I've never heard of them before!

They don't come on that much anymore. You have to be an Old Sku member. Like, pre-new forum skin.

way back when, about 4 months ago, we mostly stopped coming here, if you haven't noticed I haven't had a post before this one in almost 4-5 months, it just got really boring after the update occurred and the spamming fun stopped. The only reason I came back was because midget sent me something about this thread.

Speaking of Midget you forgot to list him in that list

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

* Playing the French leaked version on my modded xbox so I could walk around the maps before everyone else.
* Telling some kid standing in line at Gamestop that you played as an Elite in Halo 2's campaign and him calling me a liar.
* Getting to a level 20 and thinking that it was impossible to get higher than that.
* Before "standby" was a common-place term.
* Seeing a "map pack" map and holding your breathe hoping you weren't going to get modded.
* Playing clanmatch and being kicked out because I wasn't willing to spent enough time playing.
* Playing those exact same people a month later and beating them 1 v. 3
* When it took 8 melees to the back to kill someone on a turret.
* The first auto-update
* Realizing that doing well in college is more important than being good at Halo 2.
* Realizing that there are far too many people that take playing Halo too seriously, and consciously becoming a "casual gamer".
* Being a contractor at MLG D.C. in '05, and thinking that pretty much all these people are idiots.
* When everyone thought it was cool to call someone a "noob" and then Recon outlawing it.
* Getting the words "bad kid" or "bk" added to that outlawed list.
* Telling OC Girl that she'd get banned, and a week later she did.
* "Shishka is a pegboy"
* The Zanzibar forum.
* Trying to download Aleph1 and sucking at using PC controls.
* Joining Body Politic and becoming one of the only (R)'s.
* Meeting some of the mods...before they became mods.
* Meeting more of the mods...after the people I knew became mods.
* Trying to use logic to explain why the M6D is a "broken, unbalanced weapon" and 10 pages of crap later.
* Before annoying kids talked about how glitching is skillful and legit in MM.
* Before "get raped" was the ignorant phrase of idiots.
* Before hearing "I'll kill you in a 1 v. 1 on Middy".
* Before everyone thought quitting was a good idea.
* Before Halo 3 was even announced and trying to quench all the unfounded theories.
* Hearing about the Delta and being sooo happy to get myself and my girlfriend in through the Rule of 3
* Being threatened to be blacklisted by Dmbfan09, and having a 2 hour conversation with him after that.
* Using MSN to get the mods to do their jobs XD
* Asking how you become a moderator...and getting lectured and laughed at.
* Having some of the most fun playing Actionsack.
* Personally threatening NOF when Actionsack got axed instead of THC.
* Seeing Major and Minor Clanmatch go to Clanmatch, and then disappearing altogether. Playing Actionsack and Carnage. Thinking that 6 v. 6 was 1000 times better than BTB. Seeing SWAT be ranked, and then unranked. Seeing BTB become unranked.
* Getting a PM from someone (Jay) making fun of me that he was downloading the F&F Delta. Running to B.net to check to see if I got a PM. Seeing PM from Disembodied Soul. Downloading the Delta was quickly as possible when there were only 800 people on, and that was the high point.
* Getting randomly matched up with Pez on my team and thinking it was hilarious.
* Getting randomly matched up with Pez on my team the next game and threatening the other team if they lost Pez would permaban every single one.
* Getting matched up against KP and Zoomy and them slaughtering us. Telling KP to, "fix your damn game Bungie" and him threatening to banhammer me from the Delta.
* Realizing that the Delta was probably the best experience I'll have in Halo 3 because everyone was thrilled to be playing the game. Every game ended with "Good Game" or "where do you find the shotgun/bubble shield/sniper/etc. on that level" and everyone was glad to help.
* Having to switch to my Alt. GT when the Delta finally went public because people were leaving me negative feedback because I was a Lieutenant 2nd Grade.
* Getting "perfection" medal after "perfection" medal playing rumble training the day the Delta went public.
* Realizing that equipment made Halo better even though I really had my doubts before playing the Delta.
* The "Beta" forum disappeared...thank god.
