Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

So sad to see this go. I just randomly decided to play some Halo 2 today to get my stats on board as I changed gamertags years ago. Saw the message online and had to check it out to make sure it wasn't a joke.

Thanks for the years of fun Bungie.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

Hasta la vista, Halo 2.

:P

I will miss you! The first XBox Live game I played was Halo 2! We'd have a heck of a lot of fun with LAN games back in Summer of '07.
Well, with luck it'll be matched in terrificness (that's not even a word) by Reach.

If only Halo 3 would've been Halo 2 with a changed name. Halo 2 always was and will always be far greater than anything else Bungie has ever or will ever create.

Halo 2 - You are my best friend.

The Halo franchise has gotten worse after Halo 2, it's not possible. I guess it's fun to wish though.

blame frankie!

I am seriously going to cry. I have halo 3 and ODST but still only really play Halo2 online.

There's: The Good, The Bad & The GOD LIKE!

Yes it was, It's what Johnson(or what I thought was Johnson) said in the legendary ending in Halo: Combat Evolved (which was the begining of the best game series know to date)

My sniper in your face

I Will only get about 30 minutes of game time at 6:00 but I will and have been playing before that! This was my first online shooter and I will remember it!

  • 04.14.2010 4:44 PM PDT

Hasta luego H2, you'll be very much missed.

It's been a great ride from day 1 until the last.

Farewell...

"I... believe I understand, sir," John said. "But which was it on this last mission? Lives spent? Or lives wasted?"
Mendez turned back toward the blackness of space and didn't answer.

Good Bye old friend. It's been a good time while it lasted.

  • 04.14.2010 4:54 PM PDT

I'll never forget you Halo 2. Because i'll be playing campaign from time to time. i will miss matchmaking the most though. It's like losing a loved one. This sucks!

NO REFUGE

GMT timezone here, but I'll be on between 2 and 3 (6 and 7 for you). Yay insomnia!

Annoying having to download stuff to my 360 again, especially with it disliking VGA. I might just go grab my original Xbox and kick it real old-skool.

Shucks! I've been playing all day hoping to meet up with some Bungie Employee, haha. Oh well- perhaps I'll get lucky later (lolwat?). Oh well. 'Other prizes' you say? the common thought seems to be that anyone who plays gets something in Reach, and the people lucky enough to either get in a game with Bungie or meet some criteria get something ELSE in Reach. This has made me think something different. If I "win"... I'd like me a custom BUNGLE T-Shirt (I can't figure out how to make the one I made) or a trip to PAX, hahaha. Of course, something in Reach would be sweet too! I wonder if we'd get this cool bonus in the beta too. Hmm.

But today has been fantastic. Great fun. I'm so glad I got on today. I'm not even bummed that I've been playing roughly 5 hours or so in vain. It has been a blast and I will miss this dearly. Rest in piece, Halo 2. I could not have picked a better day to catch the flu, letting me stay home.


They also mentioned that the person who gets the very last kill before they shut the servers down gets something special, there are other criteria too that they didn't announce.

It was a lot of fun and not too competitive. I also enjoyed the "Did you know?"s when you're searching for a game. Can't wait for title update 4!

SO Sad... Halo 2 Online play will be missed...What GTs should we be on the look out for???

-Sun Tzu

Oh God so much nostalgia, I've been playing this groundbreaking game since Nov. 9 - 2004. I'm more than ready to play it over LIVE one last time (I've been playing since 9:00 am ET). I hope to play a few matches with Bungie people, it's gonna' be awesome.

This Game gave me so many memories, so many great moments to be numbered.

For this and for your hard work throughout the last decade...

Thank You Bungie ;)

Sorry to be a party pooper but what about your fans in a different time zone? The difference in time is something like 5 hours over here in England so many of your fans (myself included) won't get to join in. I have to get some sleep and my family won't appreciate me keeping them up all night playing games. Halo 2 was my first online game and I have many good memories of it and will miss it greatly. I'm very dissapointed that I won't be able to play it with you.

I plan to carry on playing your superb games and CANNOT WAIT for Halo: Reach. I wish you the very best of luck on completing the game (although I'm sure you won't need it), it's looking amazing already! Keep up the hard work! In the future could you please not forget about your other fans beacuse I don't want to miss out and I'm sure many others feel the same way (lets not beat around the bush, Halo is probably the most popular thing known to man) seeing as you have such a big fanbase. I am a huge fan and I love Halo it's my most favourite franchise ever and Bungie you are my favourite developer. Bungie, thank you so much for giving me many good times and many great memories with your games. :)

From a dedicated fan.

Huh. Can't seem to download the Maptacular Map Pack. Anyone else getting the same error message?

"Installation of content failed."

If anyone knows what I can do to get it installed, advice would be much appreciated.

Very sad :(. Won't be able to play much but will def play some. Keeping the dream alive for a little bit is better than not at all. Halo 2 .... you will be missed greatly!!
