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!!!
