I only had time for a few games, but I did get the classic "Unfreakingbelievable!" in Gulch Wars. Ahhhh, good times...

RIP Halo 2. Were it so easy for Microsoft to take one of its most played originals, as well as many others, off the online experience. T'was fun while it lasted.

At least Halo 2 Vista is still around (Thank God). I can still lead my sniper and BR in that.

R.I.P Halo 2 you've created great friendships and even increased my family! But having said that you've brought me so close to deviorce soooo many times you will be missed and you will a legendary ending.

Well, I jumped on and Played a Few games. Both Custom and Matchmaking, I even put together a Clan that all my friends joined. To Honor Halo 2 even though its time is almost at an end.

If only there was a way to keep the Multiplayer going without Live :*(

Playing Halo 2, the Nostalgia was so bad. i couldnt even play half the time, Because me and my friends kept laughing about all the Funny Times we had. All the Funny Moments in Matchmaking, The Kinds of things i wish i could watch again and again.


Thank you Bungie, This is a Sad Day...... But what makes it better is that Halo 2 will live on in Single-Player and PC. You truly have outdone yourselves with Halo 2, I may not be able to play it Online after Tonight. But i will Keep the Game and always Remember that this was the Game that influenced me to get Xbox Live and an Xbox.



Halo.... Può lei si riposa nella Pace

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

Well, I can't get the maps to load properly. I had it working four days ago after a bit of trouble, and now it's not going at all. I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but I'll be there, listening in on people just before being kicked as the game starts.

Also, I guess I'll be there in (broken) spirit.

  • 04.14.2010 8:22 PM PDT

wooo

oh man i don't where to start with this game. but i gotta pay my respects.

Listen to this while you read http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLS5NShCwzA

i had really good memories with this game, it was even fun to meet up with modders
- this game made history and gave alot of game developers ideas how to make there games
- what i liked was the clan options and the glitches the most.
-all the halo parties i had :)
-the game that invented tea bagging
-always had a good community
-loved playing campaign
-super jumping the thrill of flying up in air made the game way more exciting.
-getting out of maps to explore the un-explored
-countless hours of playing trying to get pass a 26
-having warthog wars are just doing tricks
-having clan tryouts and being superior to everyone else
-owning noobs
-being able to talk to your enemy while fighting them*take that noob*
-awwww man its so sad to see the best game of the decade go away
-A TRUE LEGENDARY GAME

R.I.P HALO 2 THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

*sniff* first best multiplayer EVER! Sad to see it go :(

  • 04.14.2010 8:35 PM PDT

In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

I'm done for the night. It was nice to get to play Halo 2 on Live for one last time. H2 was the game that got me into FPS's and Live. I'll always have fond memories of Halo 2.
With all that out of the way, my run through Big Team Battle reminded me why I upgraded to Halo 3. Randomly long wait times, excessive lag, overpowered tanks/br's, and ridiculous spawn killing all are issues that were, for the most part, improved in Halo 3.
Still, I'm sad to see an old friend go. RIP Halo 2.
Can't wait for Reach :)

  • 04.14.2010 8:37 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Dammit! I cant find my Halo 2 copy and everywhere around here is closed. Damn my getting off work late. I guess I'll miss out on the final night of Halo 2. So many good games and memories despite me sucking tremendously at the game. (old tag- Sasquatch3424. That'll show how bad I sucked.) It's a shame I couldn't play one last time.

created a little poem for our lost(no good at poems)

One Final Hump Is All That Remains

we'll miss you
for you have given joy and sorrow
for you have given victory and defeat
for you have given love and lost
and for you that shown us life
we shall never forget how it all started
for when you die you will be reborn anew
so think not of it like final hump but the hump that will be remember for the rest of time

Just finished my last game of Halo 2. A stalemate on Coagulation. I couldn't ask for it to end any other way. I'm sad to see it go. I still have the memories of how bad multiplayer was with stand-by, cheating, etc. early on. Bungie made great improvements in the game over the course of its life. And I can honestly say that the experience tonight was the best I have had in Halo 2. All of the people I played with were enjoying the game one last time. The childish behavior was not there. I would like thank all of the players out there for making the final Halo 2 experience the best, and of course to Bungie for still supporting a game so long after its release. Thanks for the memories.

Aye, delta has left the battlefield. That'll do halo 2... that'll do...

  • 04.14.2010 9:10 PM PDT

Oh man! This is such a bummer!!! I was just going to start playing Halo 2 again with my friends.

All the fun times we've had in this game, it's a shame it has to come to an end.
But, the game itself is still here, so I'll just play that.

i know it's kindof late, but even if this only helps one person it will be worth it. for people having trouble getting the maps to work (says their corrupted or whatever when you sign in), go back to you dashboard, go to system settings -> memory, and delete the halo 2 maps. the boot up halo 2, go to Xbox Live, download content, and redownload the maps. initially i was trying to redownload without first deleting them off my HDD and kept getting this installation error, but after i deleted them it worked when i tried to redownload.

i have so many great memories of playing this game with friends, it's so sad to see it go.

*sniffles and salutes*

Thanks Bungie for so much. Halo 2 is what I made my gamertag for back in Feb 2005. The main game all my friends, boyfriend, and myself played together almost every night for months nonstop.

Halo 2 will be truly missed even though before tonight I hadn't touched it since 2007 because of Halo 3. Never did play Halo 3 as much as the good old days of 2, even though I enjoyed Halo 3 so much more.

Halo 2 launched a lot of great things for me and I'll never forget it. Thanks again! <3

"Believe in yourself and create your own destiny. Don't fear Failure."

I forgot how far you can fly if you miss with the sword xD Everyone I play with really seems to be enjoying themselves. There's almost no trash talking, yelling, and childish remarks. I have yet to get a game on Terminal. I will keep playing until I get one!

EDIT: Next week my friends and I are going to have a Halo 2 party. We're gonna connect two 360s and go at it!
