TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

Twis7ed x, I usually get on maybe 3 or 4 times a week. Normally on the weekends.

Dude, I MISS the days more than you. I remember when it first came out, I think I clocked 14 hours straight playing Halo2 and having fun meeting everyone on Xbox Live and fighting and talking sh** against other teams and just having so much fun. I miss the days of Halo 2. Why doesn't Bungie revive this? They would have a big interest back in it. I just cannot stand Halo3. It's too different for me. The engine is probably the biggest difference for me. It feels more like Perfect Dark Zero when you play it.

I wish Bungie would bring the game back online like it used to be. The last 5-6 months before Halo3 came out, they took BTB off the ranked list which completely killed my interest. I know a lot of you love playing team skirmish and team snipes, but BTB is where it was at. The most fun gameplay I ever experienced was in a BTB match. Tons of people, grenades going off, bullets whizzing by... I MISS THIS.

Halo 3 just makes me wanna die and I feel the only reason people are playing it is because its still the new game from Bungie. I think if Bungie revived Halo2 the way it was, I'd be back in a heartbeat. If i didnt have a 360, I'd buy a 360 just so I can play this game online again. Thankfully COD4 came out, and that was similar to Halo2, and thats why everyone flocked to it.

Even at work the other day, someone brought up playing Halo2 online and how he missed it and I actually got sad. It brought back sooo many memories for us to talk about all the craziness in Halo2. And I get sad to think that there will never be a Halo2 type multiplayer again. You are right, they were the golden days. I haven't played Halo 2 since Halo3 came out, so I'm thinking of going back to play it again... but BTB is done pretty much, what's the point????

I suggest Bungie bring back the rankings again in every category and promote Halo2 again as a bridge to the past. Maybe offer small prizes for getting a high rank. People would flock back to this game in a heartbeat. I understand they must focus on Halo3, but now that the world is continuing with more games, they should go back to the past to let us gamers play Halo2 online. I MISS IT SOOOOOOOO BAD!!!

I don't really understand why bungie has given the back of the hand to Halo 2. Could it kill them to put out a new map or gametype once a year??

Yeah I was there back in the old days too, I've had the same account on my 1st gen xbox for 3 and a half years. I don't feel like shelling out for an xbox 360 ( mabye soon though 199.99).
But when halo 2 first came out it was just mind blowing how huge of a thing this was.
I'm talking like 750000 people playing at the same time. We used to have zombie games going 24/7. Games that would last an entire weekend (players coming and going). Just tons of crazy poeple talking -blam!-, it was great.

And it is sad that its never going to be like that again.

The Halo 2 xbox live community was the 2000's equivalent of the Commadore 64 network in the 80s I think.

I still play, hit me up

Get the 360 if you can, it's worth it. H2 graphics are better on the 360 so it's that much more fun.

I miss the rocket/sword flying glitch, the golden warthog myth, the modding in matchmaking and just watching people with their 1080 autoaim BR's, I miss sitting on customs playing zombies or just hanging out. Good times and Halo 2 was the game that got me into online gaming so thank you.

Yeah i miss the early days also. The reson halo 2 died so rapidly after halo 3 came out for me was down to the mods and all the other BS that came with halo 2, BxR superbouncing etc, it just wasnt fun to sit there and die when all you wanted was a competitve-fair game. And just because you can do it doesnt mean you should!
So for me halo 3 is where its at, yes i miss big team battle on headlong, waiting for the invisable sniper on the bridge or the ghost charging at you on your way to camo, or skirmish on relic and terminal, but its over now, done and dusted.

I got on this morning and found that like no one was freaking playing... NOT EVEN IN RUMBLE PIT! Where the heck was everyone? So I came here to find out they've got a freaking tournament going on for Halo 3. Thanks Bungie! You totally just squashed us people who enjoy Halo 2 better or can't play Halo 3 because they don't have an XBox 360! Now I can't get my game on because no one wants to play little old Halo 2! I hate you guys.

By the way, the "I hate you guys" comment was not directed at you here responding to the forums. You guys are cool and are just like me who want to play Halo 2.

I also remember just hopping on Halo 2 on summer mornings, or just walking to my buds house and playing customs on Blood Gulch. Good times in those days, goooood times.

I feel the same way as all of you, I have been on xbox live since halo 2 first came out, and IT was a BLAST it was all so amazing, but I have to let all of you know that it is not all gone! I still play Halo 2 xbox live every day even though i do own halo 3, and it is because I am in this awsome gaming community called FDS, our clan has been around since before halo 3 but is still extremely active on halo 2, more so than any other of the games my clan has branches in. We have around over 300 active players in halo 2!! there is always something fun to do when you get on, just like the old days! including tournaments, custom games, pro teams, participating in the clan, or just hanging out.

So for you players that still love Halo 2 as much as I know you do, you should come get back on Halo 2 and have a great time again. I want to rescue you of your horrors of not playing halo 2 anymore lol

Our clan website is: www.clanfds.e107clan.com

I have three gamertags (correct spelling): FDScaboose22, FDS Pahuk Pride, FportoDcrazeS


Halo 2 is definitely a better game than Halo 3

I just take my friends Halo 2 and play it cause I miss playing it, I remember all the good times playing it, the Custom Games, and Campaign :'( I miss it all

  • 11.17.2008 11:01 AM PDT

Why does Halo 3 have to be purely competetive? Why can't we just have little social custom games with friends like we used to? :'(

I even miss the campaign missions...

OH GOD! I just remembered Cops'n'Robbers on Lockout! *cries*

It absolutely sickens me how much people whine and whine about how much halo 3 sucks when it obviously doesn't.
