Goodbye Halo 2, you gave me some fun before you went. :)

[A long time ago there was a boy, kidnapped from his home and trained to be a soldier. He excelled at all things given to him, but he didn’t enjoy the spotlight, thankfully John also excelled. John and Fred were promoted to N.C.O.'s of all the Spartans. M.C.P.O. Spartan-117-John & S.P.O. Spartan-104-Fred. I haven't seen John since before the Dyson Sphere. I now rule my Empire and have taken on the name Animalistic. My Brethren may be MIA but they will live on forever through me ~ SPOSpartan104]

I booted up my Xbox 360, popped in Halo 2, and just got hit in the face by this huge wave of nostalgia. Many thanks to Bungie for some of the best gaming years of my life. Seriously. :)

Here's to another decade of awesome Halo.

I could not have said it better myself

Halo has always been my favorite game ever since it first came out. When Halo 2 and xbox live came out I saw how many great players existed. My access had always been limited when it was in it's prime. But I enjoyed every second of that campaign and as much multiplayer as I could get in (no matter how bad I lost :P).

Bungie I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for Halo. Thank you for giving me my favorite Books, Games, experience, and community.

The saddest part of Halo 2 going away is, I won't be able to do my yearly Halo day filled with all halos (November 9th) to it's fullest extent. I will always Remember the 9th of November

Thanks :)!
Here's hoping for many more years of Halo 3 and the franchise.

P.S. Think you can bring some of the halo 1 and 2 maps to the new games *cough* Hang em High and Blood gulch *cough*

Bungie You are my favorite

You look unto me now through the profile screen found at http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx. Here we are, mutually faceless, both ones in the Seventh.

I remember being on the edge of my seat when I played Halo 2's campaign from beginning to end. I'm ready to send this epic out with a bang. Lets finish this fight.

Lucky 13 X on Xbox 360 and Games for Windows.
Lucky13X on PS3, a land deprived of Halo's gibby goodness.

Thank you for this opportunity Bungie and thank you for the Halo games especially Halo 2 online. I sorely miss not being able to play over Xbox Live, as will everyone.

Do bungie employees have something different on their name or whatever so we can tell if we are paired up with one?

"May the Shadows sweep your existence into the Darkness."

I've been running and gunning for a decent portion of the day now, look forward to spotting one of you guys at the other end of my sights.

Being on the same team is nice too though.

Formerly the Queen of Blades.

I play video games. I watch cartoons. I'm going to an art school, SVA (google it if you actually care). I am of the female persuasion. Yes, we do exist on the internet. No, I will not make you a sandwich or any other food. Nor will I do you any favors.

Um, did they take the support offline early? Because I can't sign into Halo 2... D:

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

A sad day...

I really wish I could play, put I don't have a copy of Halo 2 at the moment.

How will we distinguish Bungie personnel from average players?

They have a big fancy "Bungie" logo behind their names in the lobby.
Pretty much. You playing tonight, zag?

Getting on now, in fact. Hit me up if any one wants to play with a group.

"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight... was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."

Goodbye Halo 2, I played some Big Team today. It's nothing like Halo 3 (which was my first Halo), and kept me on the edge of my seat. It really got intense in there. Tons of "GAINED THE LEAD TIED FOR LEAD GAINED THE LEAD TIED FOR LEAD LOST THE LEAD TIED THE LEAD LOST THE LEAD" :)

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

Halo 2 was the whole reason I decided to get the money together and buy Xbox Live. As I dive back into a game of crazy BXR's and SMG starts, the nostalgia is indescribable. This will go down in history as one of the saddest days of Halo History. You will be missed, Halo 2.

And F*** you Microsoft, you're cheap bastards and you know it. And I never got my month-and-points bonus you promised. -blam!-s.

I miss the mark of shame on my shoulder. :(

I can't believe how much trouble I have killing people in H2 after all this time. How did I ever play? LOL

  • 04.14.2010 6:59 PM PDT

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"

Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!"

So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.

Did any one read the update? You don't have to play the Bungie guys to get anything -- you just have to play. I don't think it matters what time either. Before midnight tonight, I would guess. (Pacific Time)
