You look like a handsome drug dealer

Also, set up 1v1 games, and when one of you lag out, we'll find out who truly wins, red or blue :)

Good luck to both of ya <3

Lewis Belding: I got 18 people in my hotel! Where are they gonna go?
The Stranger: Out.

Kudos, Dudes......

I've been swaying back and forth on whether you guys were doing the right thing keeping Halo 2 running, and immediately after the 15th I felt it should just be put to rest...

Partly because I felt that it should have went out with a bang at midnight, with hundreds of people playing and not left hanging on like a wounded puppy that you don't want to put down..

Partly because having stayed up for over 32 hours only for it to still be going on, I just wanted it to end...

Partly because I was miffed that I had logged out without knowing I could have been with you guys...

And then I realized that what you guys were doing was actually pretty awesome! I still had my doubts about some who might just be sitting it out and not even playing games, but for those who have battled on when they could, the praise and worship is truly justified! Like true Spartans, you fought on and refused to be moved by bigger forces....

You have survived far longer than most people would have anticipated...you have, by refusing to move and staying on for so long, given a fitting end to Halo 2 and indeed, the original LIVE...Also, it kinda sticks a finger up at Microsoft for getting rid of the service, and you've made even them notice the little guy..

So congratulations folks! Even being among the last 560 or so made me proud, so what you guys must feel like being the last two......

The Final Few are already legend, and deservedly so...you truly will go down in gaming history! But I ask, without stealing you guy's thunder, that people remember the others too..the hundreds of people who were there at midnight on the 15th, when we all gathered to see the end of the world and go out fighting/dancing/singing/crying or whatever....

We should all be proud of what was achieved at the end of Halo 2...it proved that people can put aside trash talk, and just get along and be part of a proper community, and that online gaming can truly be a wonderful thing..and that taking part in online battles, even with people you've never met, can create friendships and memories that will last a lifetime....

So good luck! Stick it out for as long as you can guys!! Lets see just how much fight this puppy's got....

;-)

*Apologies for the length of the post....but it's early morning here, and my thoughts are just spilling out onto the keyboard...*

Good luck to you last two! =)

You Fail I Prevail

XAxe MurderX

Dont Give Up Or Give In Halo 2 Was How Alot Of Us Got Our Start And Got Into Gaming, Me And My Mates Would Play Halo 2 Every Single Week End For At Least 3 Years. Thats Three Years That People Say We Wont Get Back But We Say F**k Them, Time Well Spent! Whether Campaign Or Multiplayer We Played And Loved This Game, Then We Went Live And Meet And Fought And Died Next To Blokes That Are Now Mates For Life Even Though Where Separated By A Sea. Hours Of Our Lives Spent By Tens Of Thousands Of People Oppitomised Into Two Hard Core Halo Fans, You Got The Aussy Halo Fans Behind Ya, Stick It To Microsoft For Taking Away One Of The Most Awesome Games Know To Man. Good Luck And A Dam Good Job To Those Who Have Fallen Out!

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

APACHE raises his head, tips his hat/helmet with respect!!

  • 05.10.2010 5:52 AM PDT

I once journeyed into the 5th page of the flood forums. The things I saw there, the topics that had been started, the trolls.....I cant speak about what I saw.

If this is the end, let it be. But don't go down till every bone in your body has been broken.
Finish the fight.

Move Your Bowels.

It would be funny as hell if the XBL connection between your two boxes stays alive for years... like the lightbulb in that Livermore, CA firehouse that's been on since 1901. You guys could jointly run the Halo 2 Perpetual Museum, where generations yet-unborn could still play Halo 2 on XBL.

Funny... and also way cool. I salute you again, both you two and the dozens who helped keep this game alive past its expiration date. This sacrifice on your part must not go unrewarded.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I just got kicked off guys.
Good Job Apache, your the last one.

  • 05.10.2010 4:21 PM PDT

Congrats, dude! :D

The question now is, what's left for you to stream? XD

  • 05.10.2010 4:45 PM PDT

Do you want your map considered for Halo: Reach matchmaking? Does it support MM gametypes? Send off an email to cartographers@bungie.org or PM me a link and description to your map for submission to the Community Cartographers. I may respond to you for updates to your map, so be sure to be open for communication and critique.

Hi /r/halo on Reddit!

Campaign. Just don't play the last level - beating the game will sign you off of Live.

  • 05.10.2010 4:49 PM PDT

Rest in Peace Halo 2.

You guys should send your names to bungie as well as the group photo if/when you take it. Who knows, they may find a way to put it into a future game.

  • 05.10.2010 4:52 PM PDT

Move Your Bowels.

Congratulations, Apache, Windex, and all the rest. You are all credits to the Spartan program!

Stand down with the knowledge of a battle well and honorably fought.

I wonder if there is a Teabaging Medal?


If there were, it would be called "TESTOCULAR!"

Only one left? How incredible!

It is marvelous! Terrible!

How great a game we let slip by the way...

May 11 will be known as Halo 2 Day for me from now on.

Well Ive been in the Navy since June 25, 2009 and its a fun job right now.

Please keep this going. Halo 2 is by far the best multiplayer game Ive played. I would glady be with you as much as possible but when I moved I forgot to bring most of my games. Best of luck to you and hope it goes well.

Congrats Apache on being the last one, and Agent Windex you have my respect as well. In fact all the final few who gave their time to fight till the end for this game not only have my respect, but more importantly the respect of the gaming community. Im sure Apache has a good salute in store lol

  • 05.10.2010 7:04 PM PDT

To Chief or not to Chief...

Kudos to Agent and Apache for sticking it out this far... Halo 2 MP will always be my favorite out of the entire series including Reach.

  • 05.10.2010 7:38 PM PDT

Hey hey hey

congratz bro!
