Subject: The Game that got me on x-box

I was never much into gaming until i went over to a friends house and he said i had to check this game out. It was Halo2. He said you can get online and play with people from all over the world.

I was hooked! i saved some cash and bought an x-box with only one game. Halo2.

The possiblities were endless. customization of character and game variants. The game play was amazing. And truely gave the power to a player.

I formed a Clan and made great friends. people i've known for almost a decade.

I remember patiently awaiting the arrival of halo 3. I pre-ordered and picked it up the midnight of it's arrival.

I was horrified.... no clans, destroyed the BR's accuracy, no bxr, no super bounces, no fun glitches, sniper had muzzel rize, and not to mention wouldn't kill ppl that were shot in the head, i personally spent alot of time just recording junky glitches. no more sword lung, or melee lunge,.....
WAY TO MANY POWER WEAPONS... it changed the focus of the game.

Halo2 was soooo far superior...... I wish they could repeat the greatness

Halo 2 for Life!

It is official, H2 is the best game ever! According to me and it seems USMCBlackHearts. lol


I also only got xbox live because of H2 but I had an xbox before that for H1. Best game ever for sure.

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

If it weren't for Halo 2 I never would have bought an Xbox. Or gotten on Xbox Live.

Halo 2 for Life!

I think over 50% of the xbox live population can say what you have said, or say they got on because they heard it was a great service from someone that played H2. It was a win win having H2 on XBL now it's a lose lose not having it onlie for it's fans, and for microsoft and for everyone involved, yet microsoft thinks it will be benficial to turn a blind eye to this if it can have new things on it's service which is very short sighted. I rather have old content and the depth it brings than have facebook on XBL that is for sure.

Same here, H2 got me started into the gaming world. When the changes happened in h3 it pissed me off with what they did to some things. I did like the graphics a bit but the colors they used are a little to vibrant, they stood out too much. Some of the new weapons were pretty cool, i really love the flamethrower, almost 3k kills with it. After a while i hated the h3 gameplay because it seems like mlg style gameplay and overall map layout and design took over mm, promoted over competetive players and it made the game, well, not as much fun as H2 mm.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Halo 2 was the only reason why I bought xbox live in the first place. Halo Combat Evolved was the game that got me to buy the original xbox, for the system link parties me and friends used to host every week and because that game was fun as hell to play.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If I didn't get Halo 2, I wouldn't be playing on Live, and I then wouldn't have modded. fun times. :D
