Subject: The Final Few: Our Story

Move Your Bowels.

Last Man Standing is the Last Man Standing. Could have been you... but it wasn't.

Apache's been nothing but gracious, taking care to honor each fellow Spartan as they dropped out. He doesn't claim to be the best Halo 2 player, or the one who has logged the most games, or has the best k/d ratio. He doesn't claim to be the nicest guy, or the best speller, or the most active player.

He did exactly what he set out to do: keep Halo 2 alive on XBL until he was forcibly removed. He's the last Halo 2 Spartan, whether he "deserves" to be honored for it or not by your standards. Tens of thousands of players dropped out of Halo 2 before he did, until he was the last one left. He thus represents the end of a proud era of online gaming, and by honoring him we also honor the memory of our beloved Halo 2.

Games, Games, Games... It's What I Do!!!

apache u really don't deserve this, just sayin'. you left your xbox idle for longer than u have probably played halo 2 buddy. Agent is the real #1


Don't be a hater... I played whenever I could, whenever i was at home I played... and I was at home alot!!!

I avoided the live streams the best I could... not because I didn't want to kick all your a$$es, but because of the job that I do.

I've been trying to get Windex into a game for the past week, he replied he was busy and was going out... then I saw him playing the Beta REACH on his other account. It's find if all of Windex's friends want to show solidarity for THEIR friend that's fine, I applaud that. But if you want to throw me under the bus... I say that I'll follow Agent Windex, he was there first!

Windex: I have the utmost respect for you... but the people that are your friends on the other hand leave something to be desired. I'm just say-in...

You don't see my crew, my friends putting you down or anyone else?! That sais something for the people I hang around with...

I'm not a friend of Windex, I don't even know him, I'm a fan of h2 and unless you were playing games alone "A LOT" then you weren't on "A LOT".

There was no need to put me in this, I wasn't going to say anything.. Every time I ever tried to play with you, you weren't there. I played the whole time, for the whole 3 weeks. I played with you like twice out of that whole time.

It was all in good fun, the "jabs" as you call it... a little friendly trash talking... nothing more. I play games for fun... I have a life outside of games (not much as its what I do) I play not to get 1000GS per game, nor have the best k/d ratio, but I hold my own.

Call or send Bungie a email, ask who was the last person on the XBOX ver. 1.0 and see what gamer tag they tell you. It is what it is!!

You want me to give up the status given to me? Sure will do... I give it to: THE LAST HALO 2 PLAYER DirtyCajun is his name. That my friend is the LAST HALO 2 PLAYER!!!

There are no longer any Halo 2 players online. Here are the names of the Final 20, in order of not being kicked off.
1.APACHE N4SIR
2.Agent Windex
3.Lord Odysseus11
4.xxMAKDADYxx
5.DirtyCajun
6.Aforeignobject
7.XXBooker DXX
8.Rob2D
9.MangledRex
10.Z0mbieStench
11.Sherlok 1
12.H20 Shoagie
13.SieferSword
14.Detenn
15.HiredN00bs
16.Xy0x
17.WGL Gonzo
18.Anelf3
19.DeadlyChippy
20.Bond WM

This list is not 100% correct yet, this is just from what I remember, mostly. If anyone can help me make this list right, please do.


1-7 are right, Sherlok was #12, Shoagie was 11, Rob was 9, and Hired was 8. Z0mbie, Siefer, Chippy, and Detenn are correct. Mangled was #16, and XYOX was in the top 20. Gonzo was 15. According to Z0mbie, Bond was 20 but she was wrong about Shoagie and Sherlok so I'm not sure. As there are no other spots, it is safe to assume XYOX is 17. So, the corrected list is:

1. Apache
2. Windex
3. Odysseus
4. Makdady
5. Cajun
6. Foreign
7. Booker
8. Hired
9. Rob
10. Z0mbie
11. Shoagie
12. Sherlok
13. Siefer
14. Detenn
15. Gonzo
16. Mangled
17. XYOX
18. Anelf
19. Chippy
20. Bond?

Hope this helped-Took quite a bit of research, but I've been keeping up with you guys since Day 1, and if not for my brother stealing my H2, I would have been right beside you. So, this is me giving back to you guys. Good job to everyone.

That doesn't matter one bit. Hell, it could have been me who was the last guy there, and I don't have a single Halo 2 game to my credit on XBL. I played the hell out of it offline in Campaign and System Link, but I didn't get a Gold subscription until after Halo 3 came out, and I *still* almost never play online. But I was gonna hop on there on the 15th and see it to the end just to be a part of it while I could... but I ended up having to work late. So I lost my chance. And anyway, even had I been online, there's no chance my 360 would have lived three weeks being continuously on and connected.

Still, let's not make more out of this than it was. This isn't about who's the best Halo 2 player, or who's logged the most games, or anything else like that. This isn't about who deserves or doesn't deserve anything. It's about who kept Halo 2 alive on Xbox Live. It's a harmless, ultimately unimportant, but still nifty little milestone. Nobody *had* to stay online after the 15th. I think most people left thinking if they went much past midnight they might get booted off in the middle of the game, and they would prefer to end the experience with a finished game rather than right in the middle of one. And of course, once they left, they couldn't come back.

A great deal of this was as the result of pure luck. Still, it comes down to the fact that these last Final Few folks hung in there, as long as they could, by choice. Not one of them stayed awake for three weeks in a row, playing continuously the whole time, but all of them stayed until circumstances removed them by force.

All of them are worthy of respect for this, and as far as I could tell, Apache was always saying that was true.

i wasnt wrong about rob, new-blam!-.. i said he was 9. i did get shoagie and sherlok mixed up tho.. i was told by deadlychippy that bond was 20

  • 05.11.2010 4:33 PM PDT

No this is about who deserves it, and he didn't keep Halo 2 alive, he kept a pregame lobby alive, I can do that offline.

Sorry about that. I was editing it on the go and forgot to edit it out once I finally pieced everything together. I'll fix that now. You were also right about Bond once I looked further, so again I apologize.

Also, I wish I could go back further, but after that it isn't clear of the order they got kicked.

pretty sure noname nomad lasted longer than that.. mrtank was knocked off after TBC.. cause he attempted putting up a stream the night she got knocked off and he got knocked off in the middle of the night.. plus i remember playing with noname for some time after that

  • 05.11.2010 4:40 PM PDT

FRIENDS: Shoot U Up, Natedogr, Commander Cody, green grunt, Present Darkness, Sergeant Keslo, Jedi Poet, Bacon 117, DerTrommler12873, Piejue, eggyghost, noreality


This IS NOT a farewell as what Jake Pearce of examiner.com said I stated... Jake I would hyperlink your article but it's inaccurate... (That's how rumors get started). Show me where I said it was "APACHE himself has written a farewell to the game"... I wrote it, i never said it was a farewell... I said it as a SALUTE to the fallen... Get your facts straight... other than inaccurate info, thanks for the review!


My apologies, APACHE N4SIR. I misinterpreted what I read, and I posted a correction in the article. This is the guy who wrote the article, in case you hadn't guessed haha. Congrats on being the last though!

I based it off of this page where you said the drop from 27 to 24. It's likely Continued was 25th because of the time difference between the posts updating that she was gone. Someone then posted that Nomad was gone and that there were only 23 left. Then, it says that 7ank and Bill were offline. However, 30 minutes after that list where they were on someone said that 7ank was gone, so it's safe to assume Bill went after. Lockepyker was on at 21 but not in the top 20, so he's 21. If there are any mistakes in my list, I apologize.

Also, if someone can tell me if RvBSniper or Family Fry went first, I can continue the list.
