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

It is ridiculous that the cut-off date for Halo PC codes was canceled. Now any idiot who can use a keygen will be able to have the flair, not only that, but now people are going to go out and buy the game without even playing it, just for the flair. This does not show dedication toward Halo or Bungie, all it shows is that a person has spare money, or can work a Keygen. This was a sad mistake. :/

am i the only one who cant c the videos due to microsoft copyright?

  • 08.24.2010 6:54 AM PDT

"Use the best: Linux for servers, Mac for graphics, Palm for mobile, and Windows for... Solitaire." (and Xbox)

I can't see them either. Microsoft seems to have removed Bungie's own videos. Sad day, Microsoft.

Anyway, great wallpapers and i'm excited for the emblems. Gotta go dig up my old mac version of Halo CE so I can get that great "Halo" emblem

Shade-0117, out.

That is truly funny that MS removed those videos. Luckily I was just coming back to watch the Sniper one again.

I wonder if MS did that on accident, or if they're really pulling Copyright bull-blam!- on Bungie. It's not like MS isn't getting a share of the money from Reach. They already have their hands in the damn pot, greedily taking all of Bungie's well deserved money (Even though I don't like H:3 Matchmaking -1)

I'm not sure who I'd hate more, MS if *they* filed the Copyright infringement complaint, or some MW2 fanboy who didn't want videos of Reach online. Can't stand people who are like, "This game is da best! So every other game sux! Lemme go try to rub my buttox in every1s faces cause I like MW and other people like other games 2!" (For the record, I love the CoD series, and play MW2)

you can change it so its the same exept the x and the lb are switched

wanna know what i think sucks is that now i'm so exited about reach that i cant enjoy a game of halo 3 anymore and you can tell that thats how everyone else feels to because halo 3 used to have hundreds of thousands of players on matchmaking at any one time, last time i looked it said only a little over 5 thousand

and bungie you know you have netflix and facebook on the xbox, can you find a way to put bungie.net on it

No, not really because my brother and I have shared a copy of Halo PC since we got it in 2007, now we both have our own XBL accounts, so we needed two codes, needless to say on Saturday I went out and bought my own copy since my brother already called the code to our first copy. And, I know I'm probably not the only one in this situation. BTW I have been playing Halo since Halo CE on Xbox in 2001.

Yes, I agree with you and the many other people. Why the -blam!- did you take down videos featured on Bungie.net in BUNGIE's own Weekly Updates? Microsoft if you do not restore those videos, then you are corporate communists, just like VIACOM and Comcast, and you can go -blam!- yourselves.

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

I'm sad because I won't have the Halo 2 flair because a) even though I've played H2 on LIVE, my gamertag has changed since then, multiple times, and b) I wasn't around for the last H2 hurrah.

It's okay though, because I'll be rockin' the Marathon tag, no doubt.

Bah. Forget about "visual flair". I want to know what contributors to the Beta Bug Hunt were supposed to have gotten from Urk.

Unless it was just more love from Bungie, of course...

Ya but what if you have Halo combat evovled on steam? how do you get emblem?

  • 08.25.2010 7:45 AM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

You can't get Halo: CE on Steam...

  • 08.25.2010 10:36 AM PDT

Woah...that just happened...again !

Ok...this is why I hate the stupid copyright laws.

Bungie, a Microsoft Games Studio posted a video and it got banned because of copyright infringement by Microsoft. What the heck ?

That's just dumb. I mean seriously ?
