All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.
2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.
The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?
Before you start asking "Why won't my halo 2 online work!??!" just read this:
When you bring up halo 2 for the first time on your 360, you will be like "HOW DO i SIGN IN?!?!" here is my guide.
When you start up halo 2, it will ask you to press "start", if you press that, a little box will come up, asking you to select a profile, if you don't have one, just create one(or use default). After you press A to select your profile you will be asked to select an Xbox Live Gamertag, select one, register, or don't sign in. Once you are done with that, there will be a menu. There might be parental controls on your xbox, so f you can't sign in or boot up halo 2, as someone I know would say, sux2bu.
1. Campaign
Once you select Campaign, you will be asked either to play by yourself or play Co-Op. NOTE: You are not able to play halo 2 co-op online with other people. Co-op in this case is split-screen. If you choose Co-op, you must create another profile for your friend. You can change the level, change the difficulty, or change to split-screen.
2. Xbox Live
Once you select this and press A you will be taken into a screen with four boxes and you at the top-left(if your controller is in slot 1), here you can sign in guests. Pressing A again will take you to Content Download, optimatch, Quickmatch, and create your own party, if you choose optimatch you will be asked to select a playlist.
Quickmatch just sends you into the playlist last played in Optimatch(default is Rumble Pit).
Create you own party is where you can play Custom Games.
Content Download allows you to download all the free(I repeat, FREEEEEEEEEE) content, advise doing something while you are waiting, they take a long time to download(remember, it might need downloading again). To download again, go to your xbox dashboard, go to "games played", select halo 2, and delete the map packs.
You can sign guests in at the pregame lobby also.
Matchmaking takes a little while longer than halo 3 does, so just be patient.
Playing halo 3 then halo 2 affects how long you load the maps, so I suggest just going into a custom game and loading at least one map first.
Playing halo 2 then halo 3 will erase all your recent films, maps, and gametypes.
There are four types of messages you can receive in halo 2, friend request, clan invite, Party invite, and just simple message. The different looks of them you will have to just memorize.
Press Y to bring up your friends list, you can go left and right also, left is recent players, and right is to the clan.
3.Split-Screen
Same beginning as xbox live, you can sign in friends.
You can change the map and gametype here, as well as go to co-op.
4. Options
Here you can either create and edit your own profiles, or you can create and edit gametypes.
Any questions, ask here or pm me.
I might edit it at a later time.
