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.

Nowadays, once or twice a week. Been too busy with college work to play halo 2 on xlink kai or the pc version.

I tend to leave the CE disk in for a month, replace it with Doom III for one run through the campaign, then the H2 disk goes in. It usually stays in for a week or two, especially if I am able to get the IWHBYD skull to spawn. I do not play many of the Arbiter missions, don't really like them as much. A week or so of Cairo Station, Outskirts, Delta Halo and High Charity usually are enough for me. Typically I play through to the point on a level that I need to get Sputnik (all 1 minute needed), Grunt Birthday Party, Catch and Envy, then start campaign over from the beginning and play with those skulls active on the levels that I like.

Playing certain levels with that skull combo makes the flood and vehicle oriented levels a real obnoxious pain in the arse, not even fun due to how hard it can be to kill elites in ghosts. The amount you get bounced around by their ghost fire makes targeting rather a task when Sputnik is on. I do have to admit that it is very cool way my ghost can get thrown around by wraith plasma rounds that do not kill me. I have ended up in some very odd places. If I have a sniper or beam rifle on me, then it can be a good thing, pinging away at covies from very unusual spots.

Occassionally I will pick up Iron, Angry and Mythic or Black Eye as well if I am looking to abuse myself in a maddening way. Those games tend to have a huge amount of me dying, but with those skulls on at least I do not feel so bad about being dead!

I have found that the only really challenging (as in I enjoy the challenge as well as it being actually difficult) things for me are:

1- to try to get the IWHBYD skull going with at least the basic skull arrangement.

2- playing with Blind active, in any combination. That skull really tests your skill at mid to long range shooting. For all of those that hate the Noob (BR/PP) combo due to its power, try it with Blind active, it is a much more difficult combo to make effective. You sure can blow through the BR ammo in a hurry!

Playing non-skull H2 seems pointless to me at this time. The campaign for CE is much better in my eyes. But those skulls, they can be blast!

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I play the PC port a lot, hosting custom games on GOOD maps, not the same 3 maps over and over.

Let me know when you are going to host games via PM or something. The reason I don't play the PC port a lot is because all the servers suck.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.
