My two best memories of Halo 2:
1) Spent the first several weeks playing the campaign through nice and slowly. I was most struck by the power and awesomeness (in the literal sense of the word) of Gravemind. His lines stayed in my head for years, slowly and laboriously delivered with the monotone deep voice of a timeless immortal. I absolutely loved how Gravemind spoke with a determined, poetic rhythm, sometimes rhyming and sometimes not. I thought that the concept and manifestation of Gravemind were the most brilliant element of any Halo campaign character.
The sound of Gravemind's "I am a monument to all your sins" is forever etched into my brain as one of the greatest moments in any game's campaign. Ever. No question.
2) Best memory from multiplayer is actually my first. I will never forget my first instant of online multiplayer over the internet. Though the concept was not COMPLETELY foreign (I was an experienced LANer before Halo 2), it was still an incredible moment. I remember the map -- Zanzibar -- and the voice of one of my teammates coming through saying "Come on guys, let's go!" in an encouraging way. I didn't do too well that game, but gaming instantly reached a whole new, addicting level for me.
I am forever in awe of the talent and skill of Bungie employees as a group of game developers, and I am thrilled to have supported their games and community for nearly a decade. As one door opens, another even more exciting one opens, and I can't wait to see what Halo: Reach brings to the table!
