My first halo game was Halo 3. Thanks, Halo 2, for showing me the past of the Halo franchise.

This is a sad time for me as a gamer. I'm hoping Halo 2 will be resurrected in some other form, but for now, here is my list of thanks:

Thank you, Halo 2, for:

- being my first online multiplayer experience. Even though I sucked horribly at first, I loved playing with other people. I'll never forget my first BTB and being amazed at all the Spartans running around, representing real people out in cyber space.

- introducing me to FPS's. The original Halo got me going, but Halo 2 was the big one. I was a solitary gamer before that, playing mostly RPG's and adventure games.

- creating such an intense love-hate relationship with a game. I've never cursed more playing a single title than I did this one. I would get so pumped up and unable to sleep for hours sometimes.

- all the awesome glitches. I spent hours with friends trying to get out of and on top of maps, make the huge Spartan in the sky on Burial Mounds, get into the secret room on Foundation, rocket/sword glitch and butterfly into high places....the list goes on.

Thanks for over 5 years of fun and memories! A big part of my gaming career has died with this game, but I guess it's time to let another game fill the void. It won't be Halo 3, but I'm hoping it will be Halo Reach!

Jackson Fit is here.

-Halo 2... so many things come to mind when I think of you. Its true that we had a love/hate relationship. You would laugh when I would get killed and then teabagged until I cryed and quit you, but I always came back. I would cry when you quit me (disconnected), but you would always come back. I guess our love had a hiatus when I met your sister, Halo 3. She was nice and all, but she didnt have the hops (super jumps) and such that you did. There were so many things i wished I had said. Basically I want to say I am sorry and that I love you. I know you are gone now, but I guess its for the better. We need to move on. yours always, Jackson Fit.

Been playing Halo a long time. Love video games. But how many of you have a higher score in Ninja Gaiden?

-Thank you, Halo 2, for the memories, the experiences.

-For the laughter, the anger, the joy.

-For friendships and support in troubling times.

-For unlocking a competitive and casual nature.

-For changing video games and popular culture.

While Halo:CE was the more balanced and, strictly speaking, better game, Halo 2 holds a special place in my life. At the risk of sounding cliche, Halo 2 was more than just a game- it was an experience.

While sitting on a futon with a headset and no lights playing a video game for hours on end may sound anti-social, nothing could be further from the truth. Halo 2 greatly enhanced my understanding of people.

I told my friends I would get good at Halo before Halo 2 came out. I went from worst to best at Halo because of Halo 2, then Halo:CE, and Halo 3. I traveled with friends to go to MLG, a great experience.

BXR, BXB, double-shotting and quick reloading is not cheating. Superbouncing, standbying, modding, boosting, and bridging is, and for everyone that did these things, have mercy on your soul. But thanks for furthering my disillusionment with the world.

For all the crappy SMG starts and everything else annoying about this game, I still enjoyed almost every moment of it, having some of the happiest times of my life.

I didn't even have to be playing the game. Just jumping around and shooting stuff in customs with friends while talking about life was simply fun and relaxing.

There is simply too much of an impact Halo 2 has had on my life for any forum post to do it justice, but with almost 13,000 matches and 160,000 kills, it is clear that much of my life has belonged to Halo 2.

To everyone who said something nice about our loss, thank you.

If you haven't realized it yet, we are all writing a chapter in gaming history at this very moment.

As far as modern consoles, this is the very first major phase out of online service.

The public outcry we as gamers have been showing is evidence of the impact of what this industry has become.

When the next great phase out comes (whenever that may be) people will look back on this one and see what we've done. Compare their time - to ours.

That being said, Halo 2 opened the doors for every other console online game, basically green lighted XBox Live, showing the bigwigs that it's something worth doing and in the process - brought a once exiled group of people together as a community...online.

Will miss Halo 2 forever, HDD is awesome.

Ah Halo 2,
I spent countless hours staying up all night playing you with my brother on the orig xbox, what good fun it was. I met great friends, had some of the funniest times and developed my love for teabagging the foes who fell at my will. Those times will not be forgotten as I continue to play you locally against my buddies, peace out, you rock.

Halo 2, a sad day in history. An emptiness knowing now that you are gone. So many great memories, the first game I owned that truly brought all of my friends together to play.
