1 less Halo 2 player out there as of 10 minutes ago when my screen froze mid game... guess my new "elite" 360 hadn't been broken in well enough for a week's straight of being on. Had I had any inclination that it would last this long I would've dusted off one of my old Xboxes - even though they are old those beasts are sturdy. I booted up Halo 2 for the last time with the impression that I had less than 1 hour left of playtime so I do count myself lucky, though playing 6 hours that night and plenty more hours subsequent nights did take a toll on me over the week.

My workload (and sleep needs) prevented me from playing as much as I wanted to but I looked forward to coming home to jump back into playing some more games. I remember how much time I had to play games when Halo 2 first launched... getting old sucks.

I want to thank everyone who has played over the last 5 days as you helped me remember why I loved this game as much as I did. No standbys, no superbouncing or glitching, and everyone was a good sport even while losing - I wish all my online play was this great. I had an amazing time and I hope everyone still online the best - have fun for all of us.

This is a testament that Bungie is a developer like no other, Halo 2 was a game like no other, and the community is and was a community like no other.

You guys are so awesome. You got to play 120+ hours more than most....consider yourself extremely lucky. Just...awesome.
