Subject: Halo 2 Past, Present,and the Future.

Before you read this I would like to say that I am a big fan of the halo series and think all 3 are equally good in their own way.

Halo 2. One of the best games of all time. This game was a game like Pac Man, a revolutionary game and something changed an entire gerne; introducing entirely new features such as looking down and seeing your legs, hijacking, and dual weilding. Being one of the best selling xbox games ever, with over 20 game of the year awards, even becoming a platinum hit ; it was a very populated game. With a good campaign (minus the cuts/glitches) and addicting multiplayer, a party system, the ability to play privatly with your friends, it was the "wow" game of the year.

Now. Many games have since copied the ideas of Halo 2, and with Halo 3 out and two other halo games soon to be released, Halo 2 is almost gone. With only a few thousand players a day and a now classified as "Meh" campaign, it is a sad sight.

Future. Halo 2 in the next few years, as with many other games of the past may face extinction witch would be very sad.

So if you are a Halo 2 Player still please post your GT and I might add you on XBL.

Long Live )))))(((((Halo 2)))))((((((

PS: I play Halo 3 Also

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!!

Yeah, it is sad that Halo 2 probably only has two or three years left before people just stop playing and it dies. But hell, there's always LAN parties.

Well each time something new from Bungie comes out relating to the Halo series people who have never heard of it before will get introduced into the trilogy and explore all games eventually. It may never die as long as bungie lives... and bungie studios is invincible! ~Cm

Although sometimes when one does something backwards one may get a different, sometimes 'better' feel for the trilogy. Posted by: JB 199

You could see your legs in Halo 1, and Marathon had dual-wielding... but yeah, I agree with you. Second best game ever made, Crackdown stealing first by a landslide...

I missed halo 2 all together, I went from halo 1, xbox broke, sold it all, got me a ps2, untill I got me a xbox 360 with Halo 3, then decided to go back, got me halo 1 and 2 and is now playing both.

I'm around 1 month old when it comes to Halo 2 online, and its pretty fun, but hey, better late then never.

I'm very active on Halo 2 and 3.

I almost missed the first Halo.

My friends all got into it about a year after it came out, in 2002, and were trying to convince me to buy it. However, up to that point, I had never found FPS games that exciting, so I passed on their advice and kept right on playing my RPGs and fighting games.

September 2004: Halo 2 is about to come out. Everyone's going bananas over it. My friends have gotten me interested in the series with the promise of an engaging sci-fi story and I'm impressed with the E3 demo. I decide, "What the hell?" and buy the first Halo for my Xbox. Almost immediately, I become hooked. I remember taking over two hours to complete Pillar of Autumn while I got used to the controls, as well as playing what was essentially my first FPS ever, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and promised myself I would complete the entire campaign by the end of the week. Unfortunately, I chose to play on Heroic difficulty, so it took me about two weeks to get through the game, but the experience was very rewarding and, after downloading Halo Trial for the PC, I got hooked on the game's multiplayer as well.

When Halo 2 finally came out two months later, I actually stood in line at a Toys-R-Us to purchase the game. (Yes, really.) Ever since that day, I've felt quite secure in considering myself a Halo uber-fan, despite the fact that I do not think Halo 3 lived up to the standards of its predecessors.

Morning Revival


But my 360 just died, and Im back to playing my Original Xbox right now. I only have the adapter for my 360, so it will be a couple months untill I can get back online. Hopefully I can save enough up to get my 360 before ODST comes out.

If you really believe all that stuff you said TC, you need a reality check. Fact is, there hasn't been an original FPS in a decade. If you think Halo 2 is original, you're dead wrong. You're clearly just a giant fanboy who, like all other fanboys, can't see passed their completely biased view of a game to see what really lies behind it. Halo 2 is just an average shooter and doesn't come close to the great ones available on the PC.

Man, fanboys sure are blind to the truth.

Do you enjoy pissing into the wind? You'll wind up wet and stinky. Stop trolling this forum or eventually you will get a vacation.

LMAO! What is your idea of a great FPS you play on your little PC? Unreal? COD? If you think Halo 2 is just an average shooter then you would not be posting on these forums. You sir, are the biggest moron of the year so far.

As a console fanboy who has never been a PC fanboy, my fanboyism may be limited. But I remember when I was a kid (and a fan boy) of Intellivision's "D&D - Treasure of Tarmin." 1983. I doubt any PC FPS predates that. So, if one were to label Halo merely as something along the lines of, "Doom Plus," he could just as easily call Doom, "Tarmin Plus." And so on. As a console purist of no small experience, I can attest that Halo was a revolutionary game. Halo 2 created its own revolution by being the major market testing ground for Live. While the experience may be flawed by PC-powered cheaters and kids who shouldn't be on, that's not the fault of the game itself. The fact that you are compelled enough to slag the series on its own turf proves its power. I've played plenty of games, good and terrible, yet have never even visited any of their websites. If they even have them.
