The end of an era.

Many people are probably approaching their final games of Halo 2 right now - here in the UK it's nearly midnight, so I expect that many people have had their fill for the day and are off to bed.

Before I go though, i'd just like to mention how bloody amazing Halo 2 has been through the years - nearly 6 years going and it's still heaps of fun to play - few games can attest to that. Halo 2 is simply a classic; it defined an entire generation of online gaming and beyond - its influences being felt even in the seventh generation of consoles.

So now Halo 2 is over, its campaign will live on but its multiplayer, for the most part, is no more. It's unlikely i'll ever play another game of Halo 2 with 16 players ever again. I have the PC version of the game sure, but it's not the same.

Anywho, i'm going off on a tangent. The whole point of this thread was to link to the very last game of Halo 2 you played online ever. Did you go out with a bang, or a whimper?

Me? My last ever game of Halo 2 was very fitting. I played a game of Fiesta on Lockout with some of my friends - one of whom introduced me to Xbox Live and is the reason I ever played Halo 2 online at all.

The last matchmaking game I ever played was Team Slayer on Warlock, not ideal, I know. But everyone in that game (even the enemy team) were people who I knew, so I had some good times.

The end of Halo 2 was a bit sad, really. The first ever game I played online. It sucks to see it go. Luckily though i've recorded the gameplay of my last 30 games or so, so maybe I can make a "farewell" montage of some sort when I have the time.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

I really really really wish I would've bought this game earlier. :(

Also, awesome post.
