Halo 2, not only were you my first Halo game I became acquainted with, you were the first Xbox Game I ever played. Jumping on the bandwagon early in '05 at my friend's house, I had to learn, through brutality, how to win. My first FFA victory among friends coming months after starting and being Sniped, Needled, Rocketed, stuck, Banshee'd, Four-Shotted, etc. too many times to count, I will admit that at first I was not your biggest fan; as a matter of fact, you frustrated me at times. But then I learned your ways. I learned to stick, I learned to Rocket, and gradually evolved to shotgunning, BRing, Sniping, Piloting, and whatever else.
When I finally got an Xbox 360 for my 16th Birthday in '06, my parents bought me a few games, including Call of Duty 2, but not you, so my first trip was to Best Buy, to buy you and play you. No CoD for this guy, I had already been Bungie brain-washed. I played your campaign over and over in the year and a half before I got LIVE, never tiring of it. After being dumped by my girlfriend in the summer of '07, you were there for me, as I gunned down my younger brother over and over, going 100-7, and you relieved my stress. When your younger sibling was about to be born, I revisted your older brother and yourself to get the story down, eager to finish the fight. Although from there we didn't hang out as much, you always held a special place in my heart. Last night's final one-night-LIVE stand was perfect, playing numerous games, slaughtering hundreds, and being tea-bagged by few. It may have never worked perfectly between us over LIVE, as I never perfected all of your secrets (BXRing and Superbouncing), you will be missed by me dearly. Although we'll meet again offline, some things will just never be the same.
Love and miss you already Halo 2!
