Halo 3 in The Work PLace: Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted By: John Lennon
My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life.

Request for Clips

In order to commemorate the April 14th decommissioning of Halo 2 online matchmaking, H3ITWP will be creating a Halo 2 Memorial Montage to celebrate the life of Halo 2 Online. The goal is to capture the essence of H2: The Amazing multiplayer and a very special community that has made this game great. (and I mean "special" in every form of the word ;-) We have a track record of producing multiple quality montages in the past, and we would like to include everyone in our final farewell to the Halo 2 Online experience.

There are several ways that you can help make this great.

1.) The best way is to grab your capture card and play some Halo 2 online. Collect your favorite 10 seconds of video and upload it to the internet. Send us your gamertag, a short message, and the url to H2Montage@gmail.com. It doesn't need to be amazing footage, just something that you are proud of.

2.) Upload your favorite H2 MM picture or screenshot. This could be a picture of your armor, service record, or an in-game capture of your character in an epic stance. Send us your gamertag, a short message, and the url to H2Montage@gmail.com.

3.) Don't have a capture card? You can still participate! Send an email with a short goodbye message and your gamertag/name to H2Montage@gmail.com.

Update:
4.) Messages emailed to h2montages@gmail.com will get priority, but we will also accept messages posted in this thread. Please post them in a quote box for easy identification. For example:Goodbye Message
GG, Bungie. GG. -Odin12345

End Update

Since we are expecting a large response, there will be a few ground rules to ensure a quality end product. Please make sure your submission follows all of the rules or it will be rejected without notice.

1.) Do not submit anything that would be in violation of the Bungie.net or Microsoft LIVE terms of service.
2.) Video Submission: should be 640x480 resolution and less than or equal to 10 seconds long. Post it on the web (File Hosting Website), and send the link to H2Montage@gmail.com. Include your gamertag and any message that you would like included.
3.) Pictures must be below 1MB .jpg images.
4.) All messages should be less than 140 characters, gamertag included
5.) Submission deadline is April 18th.
6.) We will make every attempt to include as much content as possible, but we reserve the right to edit or refuse submissions.


We don't need anything fancy to make this great. We just want to give everyone the chance of having their last few matches of Halo 2 immortalized in a great montage.

Thank you for your help! If you have any questions, post them below.

It's a good thing I'm a pokemon trainer, and can handle your Jiggly-Puffs.

I got started on my Halo 2 tribute and captured a few clips, but I don't know if I'm going to finish it. I'll send you a clip anyways.

This is a great idea! I have been playing Halo 2 recently just because it is sad to see the multiplayer go. It will missed but we need to move on with the times and even though Halo 2 is a great game and everyone has memories from it, nothing can last forever and shutting down Halo 2 is just one step closer to Halo Reach.

Can't wait to see this video when its done! If I get anything great I will submit it as well.

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

I don't want to see Halo 2 go offline, but I'm excited we're seeing it off with a bang. The request vid is awesome, btw!

Special thanks to HBO and Urk for getting the word out.

Great idea!

I'm not sure if you can customize the video resolution in Windows Movie Maker, but if you can I would recommend 800 x 416. Doing so fills the screen out for Youtube videos without affecting quality or original size. Follow the link in my bio to a SD Halo 2 video I captured using a Dazzle capture card, Sony Vegas, and 800 x 416 resolution.

Good luck!

i email this but just for good measure
Farewell Halo 2! Bungie, a sincerely thank you for all the memories you have given my friends and me. Forward unto Reach! -Col Kellerhonestly 140 characters cannot sum-up what this game means to me... Thank you Bungie!

looks like iw will be great. MY halo 2 experience was never online until I found my halo 2 a while back(the same day they made the announcement) and I have found that the maps are the best maps, better than many halo 3 maps. I will make a goodbye note if not make a vid. I hope reach has halo 2 maps in it in the future.

I'm a blimp...

K001 can't wait to see the montage, wish i could send a clip but can't afford a capture card...oh well still a great idea

  • 02.24.2010 11:52 AM PDT

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Well, I don't have a capture card, but this is still an amazing idea! I'll be sure to get in on the fustoms nights or at least hook up and throw down some MM before the 14th!

Great Job Odin. This is going to be awesome.

  • 02.24.2010 3:43 PM PDT

Also I might get a capture card so I might get a video

  • 02.24.2010 3:53 PM PDT

I tried sending an email to h2montages@gmail.com
and H2Montages@gmail.com and it says the email account im trying to reach does not exist. Any help?

EDIT* Nevermind I got it fixed just a small stupid problem in typing the address.

I'd love to be a part of this montage! Halo 2's reign revolutionized gaming. The first XbL game to introduce the friend list, and one of the first with matchmaking, DLC, and much more. Halo 2 is hands down the BEST Original Xbox game ever, and even beats most of the 360 games. In my opinion, Halo 2 was the best game ever. Hopefully REACH is just as good.

  • 02.24.2010 8:40 PM PDT

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Posted by: the omega man117
Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I will definitely send something in to be a part of this. I never did any kind of footage before, but I will get something together for sure.

Can we use Halo 2 Vista or not?

  • 02.25.2010 4:04 AM PDT

Halo 4 I get a woman. I've been guaranteed.

Halo 2 was an amazing game and I look forward to Halo: Reach. RIP HALO 2. HALO 2 WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.
