Attention Joe Campbell, please check your messages. I sent you a letter offering you an interview.

They were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally, they became heroes.

Any chance at continuing a live stream?

Would be awesome!

You few are seriously some of the most epic people ever.

My Halo 2 disc doesn't work, so I couldn't participate in the last day, and I only ever played online with it a few times. Me and my friends used to live off of it though, long before any of us had LIVE or 360s or anything like it. Countless hours have we poured into this great game, and I'm sad to see it go.

This is like the real Spartans. The Greek ones. Where few stood against many, with no chance of survival. But they stood anyways, swords raised and shields locked. They took a last stand longer than anyone had ever expected them too and something that was supposed to be a quick fight, a quiet defeat, was turned into a lengthened battle.

Tomorrow it will be three weeks that you have been logged on, and for this I salute you. Thank you for giving the death of this Titan of a game a proper burial, complete with a 14-gun salute.

If you guys make it to sunday, then it will mean halo 2 will have been online for 5+ 1/2 years by my count. Too bad making it to 6 years is unlikely.

It would be nice to know that we prolonged Halo 2's life, long enough to be called 5½ years old.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

All you did was leave your xbox on for a couple weeks not too hard on my opinion...

  • 05.05.2010 9:26 PM PDT

Keep your friends close... Keep your enemies in your crosshairs.

Check out "The Revokers" at Bungie.net.

You guys are all very dedicated and I respect that. Thank you for keeping Halo 2 alive. It's memory shall live on for a long time and I will never forget it. I find it very regrettable that they shut down Halo 2 for Xbox.live. Had I known at the time (I didn't find out until the day after it was shut down) I would have been there with you. You guys are great people. Never forget!

  • 05.05.2010 9:37 PM PDT

You guys have my respect.

If I still had my halo 2, and I had known I could of done this, I would of.

+1 in my eyes.

I recommend having a few fans on, blowing at your xbox's so that they dont overheat on your guys.

If you want to be daring, get a few two by fours, and set them under your xbox, so you can have air venting through underneath it as well, to even further reduce the chance of overheating.

Good luck, and play a few games for me.

did you do it? Guess it was too hard for you to do the same.

They gave up playing other games just to leave halo 2 on. Not to mention the overheating will probably kill their xbox's.

Since you see it is not so hard. Throw in Halo 3, and leave your xbox on the rest of the week.

If you do this, you are not allowed to turn it off, or take halo 3 out. For an entire week.

You would not even survive a -blam!- week. So stfu.

Thanks xTylerB... Seems when I thought all the a$$hol3s were done 'trolling', another Ogre seems to show off their literary skills. You really told US!!!

I love gaming. That's about it.

They don't have lives? Funny, here I thought they were still going about their daily business and only keeping Halo 2 alive for fun and as a tribute to a great game.

Boy do I feel stupid!

I only wish I had thought of this. Heck, I even have an old xbox still that I could have sacrificed to the cause. Cheers to each of you who have remained in the game. Were this a bar, I'd by each of you a round.

  • 05.06.2010 4:51 AM PDT

See me, I'd wanna go out on my own. Not be forced out or anything. Once it's over it's over; I wanna leave leave under my own power. Make it MY choice, not some freak storm or an overheating xbox or my dog tripping over the power cord.

But in the end it'll be up to whoever's left. That's just my two cents.

  • 05.06.2010 6:23 AM PDT

same here niceguy i also have an old xbox collecting dust. dammit

  • 05.06.2010 7:38 AM PDT

Sounds like you agree with the final group, Silver. They are going out by THEIR individual choices. Your choice would have been different, but it is their choice to make, not ours.

I say keep this kinda thing outta the thread, all your doing is alienating everyone else and making the "Interview" less professional. You don't see me or anyone else (including Joe) talk openly on a thread about the interviews they have done, (I'm not jealous... I have done a few, so don't go there) are doing or are doing in the future... its in bad taste.

Doesn't everyone agree?!?!?!?

Agreed.
Joe will most likely see that he has a message before he sees there's a reply concerning him on the thread, anyway, so no matter what your intentions were behind the posts, they are completely unnecessary.
