Subject: Those Lask kills, flag caps, etc.

You can never succeed if you never try.

Well, with the population getting lower, how will the players in the game decide who will get that last kill, the last flag cap, etc?

I hate to admit it, but that's what alot of people are playing for, and I sense that some people are going to get VERY angry when they don't get one of those special rewards.

So, is the lobby going to say "You get last kill, he gets last flag cap, I get last death, he gets last assist, etc."?

RIP Halo 2

Hopefully they just play like usual. There may be a couple people playing for rewards, but I think most are playing for Halo 2.

Based on what I've seen of the people who are still on, it's going to be 100% cutthroat.

There's certainly some decent people on, but there's still some jerks out there too. Odds are high that there's a couple guys who have been idling in a custom game since Wednesday, waiting until they're the last ones on to sneak the final game in.

I don't think the people still on are doing it with the expectation of getting a prize, most are doing it just to enjoy the last of Halo 2 matchmaking, but I figure when it gets down to the wire, the civility will break down in a hurry.

I would like to get the prize for the last w/e, but if I don't get it then it wont be the end of the world. I mean I played Halo 2 for so long and to know that I'm one of the last few to play it is awesome.

As for your theory about the guys idling in a custom game since Wednesday. I think the last w/e has to be in matchmaking.

From what I remember of the bungie update, all that they are checking for is the last game successfully updated to bungie.net.

Seems they don't care if it's matchmaking or not.

I believe it was whoever scores the winning point in the last Halo 2 Matchmaking game; which as far as I can tell is this one.
So I'm going to guess T0 BE CONTINUED won that part of the contest.

For the second part, whoever was closest to the game number of 803138048 without going over wins the second part. Good luck to everyone! I unfortunately was 9,729 games over the final game number!! :(
( Pretty freaking close, but unfortunately, I'm disqualified ).

That's just the last game so far.

People are still online, more games will be played.
