I miss it so....

I know that's a weird subject title but I couldn't really think of anything else that may not have been already used or taken.

I wanted to do this for several reasons. To be honest I really appreciate everyone trying to keep the game alive and by having these live streams. It took a lot of work and was a strain on everyone and thing. Those Xbox 360s have been running hot for a long time and the halo 2 discs have to be all but bent out of shape by now. It was more than just keeping the game alive, it brought all of us together from our love of the game. Many of us share the same opinions of Halo 3, it's just not fun and to me it doesn't feel like anymore. ODST didn't feel like halo and I fear Halo Reach will turn out to be just like that. Not another Halo, with its eye candy appearance and game play that reminds me of Star Wars Battle Front 2. Sorry Bungie but that's how I see it and how I feel. Halo 3 was changed according to what? I don't know... But the sword isn't fun anymore along with other things. But this is not the reason I started this thread.
It was an honer and a privilege to be able to watch T0 BE CONTINUED play the game I was unable to stay in despite my best efforts... I greatly enjoyed watching her and talk with the other players (when they spoke in the chat channel)
I was glad that we were able to stay together as a group even though many of the people I spoke with and now talk to, I didn't run into during my halo 2 endeavors. I hope that those who may disappear from contact have good lives from here. I know the loss of this game has hit home hard on a lot of us (several of us have cried) This game became far more then just a game for us. And I hope that Bungie can recreate what brought us all together in the first place. If not I think they are going to lose a lot of the fan base, me included. No offense Bungie I know you want to create something new but when it starts looking too Pretty and feeling like it doesn't have that great depth and simplicity that made me go back to Halo 2, well I don't think I will want to play it. But I will try... For the sake of the game I love.
I just can't state it enough guys, how much I appreciated being apart of this last week or so even if I wasn't in the game I can only hope that I was helpful and not annoying or anything. It's a small piece of me being left on a small disc that just might be worthless one day. I thank all of you being so great everyone in the chat and that was in the game were really wonderful people and I mean it. I hope to see you all in the next installment... Even if I don't have the money to purchase it if I want it.

And please for Heavens sake no one be a flamer... or Bash me for all that I have said, if your going to say something at least think it out. I would rather have a well thought out negative response then someone just bashing me around between two rocks tell I bleed to death from stupidity.

Honestly what happened to that 6 or so feet lunge with the sword that frustrated me so? The endless smashing of my dome on the end of that plasma was the greatest... Or the Lock on Rockets where unbeknown to me in my little ghost of spacing out wonders would be blown to bits and flown out of the map from the ensuing rocket explosion... Sniping may never be same either... I do hope that everyone keeps their memories of this game close to their hearts, for it is the memory that will truly keep the game alive for eternity.

I was thinking of a lot more to say last night, and now that I have forgotten most of my words I just want to say thanks

Special Thanks to:
T0 BE CONTINUED- Starting the first Live stream and lasting as long as she did, she brought us all together.
LHR SiK KiLL- For being a good friend and sharing his knowledge of the link to the live feed.
And everyone else I have been speaking with in the chat channel, you guys have all been awesome.
and Bungie for making the games...

Thanks guys, for giving me the experience, I will remember it for a long time.
And sorry I made such a long ranting spieling thing of complete nonsense... Thanks for putting up with me.
Hopefully Reach is great...

Everything I say is really just a matter of my own opinion... and how I feel about it all going down.

If anyone flames, I'll personally strangle them. I've been following the Justin stream and I fell in love with all of you. I feel like I know you all. I'm sorry if this is silly but I'm a 61 year old grandfather and yet I understand exactly why you guys held out. I just play Campaign but I stood in line for 9 hours with my grandson when H2 was released and I've never stopped loving this game. For those of you who have to stop eventually, I salute you.

Thank you. I never waited in line for the game... I have never really had money for that kind of thing, had to wait tell I had money to buy a copy. But even so from the first halo to the second it was great... every moment of my high school and in those LAN parties... from then until now I never thought this game would be such an impact on me. I would do much more than salute to those who are still playing or who have shared their last few gaming experiences through the feed with me. In some way it helped me feel better since I never had the chance to stay as long as they did.
I was pulled from the menus late on the 15th and just never had the chance... sadly.

Yeah, I know, I read all the text and you were there with your moral support. I hang out at highimpacthalo.org and I'm what's called a 'trickster'. I spent endless hours probing the game, manipulating loadzones and doing things that were never meant to be done (no modding, of course). I made over 300 vids but sadly that phase is over because we've discovered most of the things that could be done. Because I was tricking with my grandson it brought us closer together and I'm thankful for that. He was with me when we got a Spectre onto the moving Gondola in Quarantine Zone and he was there for support when I managed to grab the Outskirts Scarab gun in single player from inside the tunnel. H2 will always have a special place in my heart for the experience it brought.

Hear Hear!!

Much love!!

I only really started playing Halo 2 online when I got LIVE last year, and it's had to compete with a lot of shiny new Xbox 360 games too...

But I'd played Halo 2 hundreds, if not thousands, of times before that on four player split-screen, or at LAN Parties with 16 people....and something about Halo 2 just seemes better than Halo 3....I dunno, it just seems more fluid..not necessarily easier to be good at, but it seems like I'm more in control...

It was a pleasure being part of the online community that switched on to say goodbye last week, and I can't believe there are still some crazy folks hanging in there! I truly thought that when I returned to my parents after 3 days offline at my flat, that it would all be over...but, no...

I picked up Halo - ODST yesterday, and have started reading through the second Halo novel, so the series will go on for me...but there will be nothing, I think, to rival the experience of saying goodbye last week to one of The Best Games Ever (t)......

So keep up the good work, those who remain...we're routing for ya's...

I miss it so....

It is very hard to say good by to this game, many people from there that I grew to know and love as good friends are not going to upgrade to 360s. They were fun to play with... I will remember all the times I had there and cherish the memories
I still have another Halo book sitting in my room that I have not read.

Thanks for all the support guys it's been great we lost to be continued last night who brought us all the live streams and great games so tonight I will take over and stream I went out and got another cap card to be able to stream for the last few games be on hopefully tonight at 11 est on justin.tv under xxbookerdxx will put a link up later on this thread and again thanks for all the new friends I have made you guys rule

I hope you are still in the game brooker. It would be nice to watch a few more rounds... I tried to play the campaign but it just isn't cutting it for me.
