How will we distinguish Bungie personnel from average players?

  • 04.14.2010 10:42 AM PDT

Planning to staying up until about 3 or 4 GMT to get some more time in. I wish I'd started playing Halo 2 earlier to be honest!

Also, did anyone feel a bit emotional watching that trailer?
Not that I did, I just have dust in my eye, that's all...

  • 04.14.2010 10:44 AM PDT

You guys lost your copy of the trailer didn't you...?

They have a big fancy "Bungie" logo behind their names in the lobby.

You won't respond to my PMs and now is my time to get confuzzled. With the prizes for stats, are you counting customs and Matchmaking, or just Matchmaking? If it's just Matchmaking, I'm getting my ass back online to play. If it's both, then I'll be sticking to Objectives and turning into a pacifist.

urk, I have international friends who are playing "on the 14th" but may or may not be on during that time period. They are hoping to get the Reach recognition. I'm assuming anytime on the 14th (including in their timezone) is OK?

Podtacular will have a large crew on tonight!

Went back to using original profile - Petedude72.

What time will 6pm PST and and 11pm PST be in GMT (UK)? Also, I played a few games earlier (2 hours ago), will they count?

One shall stand, one shall fall.

Many great times were had in high school, playing Halo 2 with a bunch of friends on Friday afternoons. This game is what got me into multiplayer gaming. It'll be kind of sad to see it go, but I'll get a few more games in.

On a related note, the new "Did You Know?" updates that you guys have put in the lobby are excellent XD

This reminds me how much I really love the startup music for Halo 2, with the guitar

  • 04.14.2010 11:02 AM PDT

H2 is the reason I started coming to this site. It's sad to see it go, but i'm going to be there to send it off with a bang!

Gahh, stuck here with studies! At least I had the time to play a couple of games. Not that i enjoyed any of those games since I was standing up, eating my meal, then just quit to do my homework.

DARN YOU MICROSOFT!!! *Shakes fist*

"Lifes a game i play with it"

lol i went to put the disc in and next thing you know it does 2 updates and know i go to play and Bam!!! "your data is corrupted please re-download all the Maps again" . you would think after all these years bungie would have fixed that old xbox problem lmao.

hopefully i can by pass it and get a couple games in.

  • 04.14.2010 11:12 AM PDT

RIP Halo 2.

I'll be online from the second I get home. Looking forward to playing until the very moment the servers go dark. I encourage everyone to play Team Slayer and Team Hardcore. Hopefully they'll be players between the 34 - 42 range in Slayer and 30 - 40 in Hardcore. If you know anyone who's between these ranks, tell them to play, and if you're between those ranks I hope you'll be searching for matches tonight.

Anyone got a list of the Bungie staff gamertags so I'll know if I run into them?

  • 04.14.2010 11:22 AM PDT

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

Never played much of the Halo 2 Multiplayer, but i will honor its closing, See you in big team.

Wow, 2am GMT, pretty damn early. I'm playing now to put in the hours though. Shame I never really played Halo 2 online, it almost feels like a deprived childhood. I'll be attempting to get on tonight (or, tomorrow morning, rather), but, it'll be trouble. Seeing as there hasn't been an answer to the qualification of the 'Halo: Reach flair' mystery, I suppose many of us at the UK can only hope that we're still qualified for the flair.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Oh Chiefy boy... The pipes, the pipes are callin'

  • 04.14.2010 12:07 PM PDT

this is SO sad. i had so many great times with my friends on Halo 2. so many inside jokes, so many awesome memories. it's really hard to see it go. i'm gonna try to be on as soon as possible.

also, Bungie, you guys should set up one of those pop-up messages that show when you start Halo 3 to let people know tonight is their last chance to play Halo 2 online.

  • 04.14.2010 12:07 PM PDT

ya. . . the blastacular maps wont work for me so i hope if i delete them then redownload it will let me play.

does anyone know if you get the "bling" for reach if you play outside of the time range?
