Dear halo 2,
Your story line sucked. But you're multiplayer was awesome.
I have been playing halo ever since halo 1 came out. Out of Halo 1, 2 and 3.
Halo 2 had the most fast paced gameplay. Halo 2 is where I learned the deadliest combination. The grenade throw, battle rifle burst. It's where I learned how to snipe. It's where I learned how to evade death. (Run when shields are lowered)
It's where I learned team work with my cousins and brother that played the LAN games with me. Plus many other things.
Those that have never played halo 2 online, have truly indeed missed out.
If I did not lose my halo 2, I'd of played a game on its last day online.
It is sad though, that microsoft or bungie does not just remake Halo 1, or Halo 2, so that they would be xbox 360 games, instead of original xbox games. If they did that, then online for those games would be restored. Plus microsoft loves money, and they'd make a -blam!-load if they did this.
My most random memory of Halo 2 was when me and a cousin just always played with our sensitivity on 10. Just because we thought the higher the sensitivity, the better someone was. And we wanted to be the best.
Another random memory was when I was still trying to discover a gamertag for myself. I went as Captain -blam!- for a little while, and my cousin went as Private Condom
We would trade off our names. And randomly before a fight, we would look at each other and say "Cover me... I'm going in."
Halo 2 is also where I made up my gamertag Halose. At the time, I was using the gamertag "Halon", but I was just talking to my cousin about halo, and I was just randomly thinking about it, and I went through the entire alphabet, just adding a letter after halo. I got the "S's", and just added an E. So I became "Halose", or "Halo + Se" (Pronounced, "Hey-los" ) I gave my old name to my cousin, so he is now Halon. (Pronounced, "Hey-lon" )
