My point was we should be aware that some of these people were there to be part of a moment in gaming history rather than other reasons.
Maybe it was just that they were sleep deprived but it seemed like they could careless that they were playing halo 2 and that it was more about them less about halo 2.
For example they could have used their platform to show outrage in their videos, instead I got the sense that they were saying look at me.
Those that were playing halo 2 everyday for the last 2 years knew the people that were really keeping Halo 2 alive and the majority were not in the final 50 from my estimation.
Maybe I'm just mad that I don't know or recal seeing a single person of your final 50 list (as Trent4now 05 isn't on their...) which indicates to me these people might not have been so intrested in halo 2 but being apart of something they didn't help support until the very end.

I'm not going to lie to you I played BTB and Rumble pit a lot the final two years so I might not have seen these people playing if they played other play lists but I never played with any of those people and I think the majority just started playing again a few days before it went down...
I know of one Trent4now 05 who I saw in matches the last few years of halo 2 after that I don't recal any of the others.

Greatest Halo story I have ever heard. Goood job you guys.The story was about people playing after the shutdown, not how much they played beforehand. Nobody knew that if you kept your box on that you could keep playing so of course there was a random assortment of players when it did shut down. I agree, most were there for one last hurrah but I don't know why that should matter.
Besides, a few people might have changed their GT at some point so you might have played with someone and not know it.
Me, for example. I've put so many hours into Halo 2, it's ridiculous. My Halo 2 stats don't show it, because of gamertag changes, and a lot of time put into LAN parties and offline play. Trust me, almost all of the final few players were avid Halo 2 fans, at least the ones I talked to/played with were.
Like Grumpy said, it's not about the games the we played before hand, it's about what we did after Halo 2 shut down. We didn't let it go without a fight, and that's what you should realize when you read this story. I still love totallymassive.<3
