Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

At 11PM Pacific Time (when Halo 2 was supposed to end), everyone on both teams just went to the beach in Zanzibar and played around. It was like that the entire game. No one died (on purpose, lolz) and we all just had a beach party. And then, with like 10 seconds left in the game we let the red team arm the bomb with everyone inside the base.

We all died together, both red and blue, and the announcer said "Game Over" one final time.

It was beautiful, but then Halo 2 didn't end. I played 2 more games after that, but I'll always remember that Zanzibar game as my last Halo 2 game.

My favourite moment was getting a killtacular (overkill) by reversing my wraith and killing a guy who respawned behind me.

DOES THIS MEAN HALO 3 IS MADE BY BUNGIE?!?

I had three humorous moments tonight that I'll always remember as a fun time.

First, because I sucked so bad at Halo 2 but played it all the time, I used a lot of plasma grenades and called myself the "Stickster" as a joke. In one of my games, I was conversing with the other team and stuck one and said, "The Stickster Returns!" I followed that up by sticking a three out of four of their team within a minute after that.

Secondly, I played a Zombies match that I found here, in which the players were gracious enough to let me do my monster noises if I accepted the responsibility of first zombie.

And lastly, at the (supposed) zero hour, the BTB game I was in sort of slowed down as we sang the Chicken Dance song and rode in Warthogs, only to ponder why we hadn't been shut off. My explanations: We either survived the Microsoftalypse or we all died in real life at the moment it finished, and our spirits are stuck in the match for all time.

Thank you, though, Bungie and Halo 2. You will not be forgotten. For when we met, I was a fresh faced 15-year old with not a clue. When you leave me, dear friend, I'm an almost 21-year old, bearded man, and much more likely to corpse hump a hater.

Supposed server shutdown time on Zanzibar, we all had a beach party and looked out over the ocean, remember what we first thought of Hal 2 those 5 years ago.

  • 04.15.2010 1:37 AM PDT

Me: "Dude what time did you turn -blam!- today?"
Friend: "When?"
Me: "8 a clock"
Friend "I hate you"

Drove around the bomb guy on the lovely level Coagulation. I love those hills. Won 2-0 (And got a splatter in the caves ;-))

The Beach Party Game


Seems like this was a nice memory for many of the people in that game. Just glad we could all agree to just sit back, and remember the good times.

With a bit less than 12 minutes until the supposed end of Halo 2, my two friends and I got matched up with one final Big Team Battle on Colossus (and 12 minutes was the max amount of time to finish a BTB.) It was the final Team Slayer BRs match on Colossus I was looking for as we never got matched to a single Colossus game all night. I was begging for Colossus.

I knew this match was going to be special.

Right off the bat our team of eight lost three players. I saw this disadvantage as a way of the game of giving me my final challenge. We fought hard and didn't for a second not remind each other that THIS would very well be our last game of Halo 2.

The score throughout the fight was neck and neck until it was finally 99 and 98... Them. We all pulled together and took cover waiting for a victor to be announced. Before I realized what happened, "Game Over" made my pulsing heart, stop.

We won. The time? 3:00 AM.

We cheered like we had just won the Super Bowl. That match ended up not being our last, but we wished it was. I too, will remember this as my true last Halo 2 game.

I'm sad now that no one gave me the chance, like the Beach Party game, to just talk and run around. I tried to start Hugfest 2010 on Containment for the last game, but it turned into Chicken Dance Party 2010.

Spelling doesn't count past 3 AM.
Some guy made this for me

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

7 Handicapped kills, running into Hylebos, and my running riot in a tank :D

As you could see a lot of people dropped out. I dont know if it was because they wanted a serious game or what, but those of us that stayed have a great memory for the last night.

my favorite moment was teaming up with a bungie employee

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I went to the center of Coagulation and shot 7 shots and took a knee.

People from the other team joined in but my team did not understand (or care) what was going on.


I can honestly say I thought I was the only person who did that, Coagulation has been my multiplayer hub for the years I've had Halo 2 - when a friend is round or a dozen friends (LAN PARTY!), I'll ask, "what map?"
They say: "Coagulation."

Lucky for you, you had people join in. I got piled on my a Scorpion. :(

Video games are my favourite video games.

I had a game on Zanzibar where myself, a teammate, and a guy on the opposing team sat knee-deep in seawater and gave a seven shot salute. The rest of our teams tended to just leave us alone (save the occasional "HERP DERP KILLAN NON-PLAYERS), so we had a blast.

And now, I'm getting blasted into the concrete on Sanctuary. Stupid Team Rockets.

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

I literally just finished a match on Foundation where I got a killing spree with just SMG's lol

  • 04.15.2010 2:25 AM PDT

Last night was actually one of the best gaming nights I've ever had. Everyone I played with was talkative and friendly, and I must have had about 5 BTB games the came down to a final score of 99/98 to 100. Also, Team duals XTRA on Midship is just ridiculously cool. Whoever put that in BTB deserves a medal =D
I wish I'd started playing sooner to be honest!

"I wait in the shadows,
for you to appear.
I look down my scope,
and see my target in the clear."

I was there from the beginning of Halo 2, and I was there until the bitter end... Rest easy, old friend.

Running into Hylebos, and my 'Farewell to Halo 2' match: Multi-Bomb Assault on Coagulation in Big Team Battle.

The BTB was awesome, because both sides were going bomb plant for bomb plant, and we got the final bomb plant about a minute before the match would have ran out of time.

"What do you hear?"
"Nothing but the rain."
"Then grab your gun and bring in the cat."
"Boom, boom, boom!"

Some of my favorite moments?

- Carrying my team to victory in some matches.

- Winning what was thought to be the very last match and coming out on top.

- Winning my final game, despite going -3. XD

- But my favorite one? Increasing my overall K/D spread in such a short time. When I started playing today, I had I think maybe 146 kills to 175 deaths ><. When I finished? 570 kills, 510 deaths ^^.

Now, that's probably not very impressive, especially to the people that have been playing since launch lol but it was a personal goal of mine and I am proud to have reached that goal.

My favourite moment?

Playing Halo 2
Although I didn't do well in my games, and people kept making fun of me because of my high voice, I thoroughly enjoyed playing Halo 2 for one last time.

My worst moment?
Saying goodbye.

Goodbye, Halo 2. It was an honour serving you.

  • 04.15.2010 3:30 AM PDT

poop

Me and two friends joined a game and said "does anyone wanna join our game and play Tower of Power??" and someone responded "If I wanna join your -blam!- and play Tower of Bhlargh?"

extremely random, but I lol'd so hard xD

  • 04.15.2010 3:31 AM PDT

Halo = Space Robots ?

Getting shocked by Controller after having mic problems.
not a great feeling....

  • 04.15.2010 3:35 AM PDT

Jumped on congulation and spinned around on the boxes. My whole team joined in. Good times.

Awesome moments: Bouncing off the train with a warthog on Terminal. Getting not one but TWO Killtrocitys(Ok they we're large Multi-kills I remember the second one being a KillTrocity.) on the same map(Different game)

Then having the most amazing Two Warthog team(Fully manned) on Blood Gulch ever. Story time! It was Big Team Battle, I hopped into the drivers seat of the warthog. Heard more than saw another person enter a near-by ghost then speed off. I got a passenger and a gunner then took off! Half-way across the map I saw the ghost circleing the enemy vehicle spawn.

Seizeing a moment of confusion I took a left(I was on blue team) and took a turn onto the darker less crowded side of the map. I pulled to a stop next to the ramp leading on top of the base. My passenger got out and I went around the back of the base to support the ghost.

When I next pulled around the corner the ghost player was heavily damaged and near-death. I placed my fully sheilded Gunner and I between him and the enemy fire. Which surprisingly the ghost had made good work of. We cleared out some resistance and then I saw my flag runner exiting the main entrence.

I picked him up then sped back to the base. After I dropped him off I saw the same person who had been piloting a ghost pull over to get some passengers in a warthog he traded out for.(The warthog, miraculously was untouched.) My flag runner scored as a different player entered mine. With two fully laded warthogs ready to go. We flew across the map in a mock phalanx formation. I could just hear those poor red souls cry out in terror.

The few enemy outside the base we're delt with easily. Me and the other driver pulled into the front of the base. Then EVERYONE got off. With a six man team we swarmed the entrence. Destroying all in our path. Cutting a bloody red swath to the flag.

To be honest. I don't think it would be fair to that match to explain the repeat of the last two paragraphs. It was pretty much the same. Minus the fact I opted for the lower side-entrence the third time in.
