We play H2 as a family on two Live accounts -- 2 members, each with a guest, on one console, on one itty-bitty TV.

My wife and I are simply awful. So far, I (CodeBaloo) and my wife are still usually in the negative K/D numbers. My 15 yr old (Johnny VeXXum) is pretty good, generally breaking even, and often winning the match and going significantly positive. And my 11 yr old usually comes close to breaking even. Regardless, we usually have a great time playing.

Reason for the post: I'd love to build a Friend's List of folks who are at least *aware* of the language they use, and realize that the entire point of gaming is to have fun... that they don't get $10 per kill, and not everyone on the team has to be able to (or can) no-scope a crossmap one-shot headshot while spinning during superbounce!

To me, the game just seems a LOT more fun when playing a match with folks who, for example, as we're both frantically pushing buttons, spinning in circles and doing some bizarre melee-reload-jump-jump-melee-nade breakdance, while trying to find each other during a 10-second melee encounter, can be heard (like us) laughing our heads off.

So, all that said, we usually play Rumble Pit or Team Swat. Say "Hi!" if you see me and maybe send a FR. Then pray I get assigned to the other team. Above all, remember it's only a cartoon video game and have fun! ;D

Hooray, someone that isn't hyper-competetive! I'd love to play with you guys; send me a FR sometime (GT is ZeroBaka).
Same here. I've never played Halo 2 online because I just recently got LIVE, but I've had Halo 2 since November 9, 2004. Something is wierd with my connection right now, though, so I don't think I'll be able to play until I figure out what's wrong with it.

My Gamertag is Pwnin and ownin (don't think I'm competitive because of my name, I'm not).

Sorry, but I'm not going to be able to play for a while. My connection problem apparently is a hardware failure in the XBox, so I'll have to send it in and recieve my FOURTH 360.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I am glad there are still people who play for fun. God Bless!

i recommend you throw away your Halo 2 disc and start playing Halo 3 with the rest of the civilized world.

Thanks for the thoughtful tip, but that would mean buying a 360... and "a hardware failure in the XBox, so I'll have to send it in and recieve my FOURTH 360" (heard over, and over, and over again) is the exact reason it's not terribly likely that I'll do that. Friend of mine's a UPS guy and says that every day, on his route, he has 2-3 360 deliveries or pickups going out to or back from the shop !

Holy -blam!-, now it's working perfectly with Halo 3...

Maybe it was just Call of Duty 4.

God I hate Microsoft. The only thing stopping me from selling my XBox and getting a Playstation 3 is Halo.

It never ceases to amaze me the great boundaries between the great members of Halo, and the despicable ones. You mate, can be considered in the former. :>

Amen, some people take the game way to seriously. Sometimes it's good to just sit down and relax, and have a little fun.

At least some people can play Halo games for fun. =D
