Halo 2 for Life!

H2 being pulled from XBL was the biggest "come on man" of the year!

Hreach brought us back to a time that was equivalent to Pre-Halo CE level (I exaggerate only slightly).

But pulling H2 from XBL took us from the top of the mountain in gaming experience to the bottom of the mountain with no way of getting back up again (Hreach and H3 are archaic games at best).

H2 being pulled from XBL = the biggest "come on man" of the year and possible forever!

It was a privilege to play Halo2 and I'm glad I did:

Best gameplay, Best game, Best online, Best all time.

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

Hey tottalymassive, we don't need any more of your whine threads. Page 1 has enough of them. Keep on drinking your kool aid.

I was there for the glory days of Combat Evolved. I was there when Halo 2 was hyped up and met the hype. I was there for the first days and last days of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I was there for the Halo 3 days, the great Lag Age of 2008-2010. I was there to laugh and not buy ODST, I was there to vomit when Reach implemented reticle bloom. I am a Halo veteran, and a Halo legend.

I would have played H2 more often if I had a standard definition TV in my apartment, on my HD there was too much lag to play online.

I guess Reach sucking was about as bad as taking Halo 2 offline. Honestly it is pathetic that Microsoft acts as if they have no choice in the matter... I would rather keep H2 up than get 400 microsoft points.

They didn't take just Halo 2 down, they took down all Xbox 1 games. Why? Because Online was dead. And halo 2 took forever to matchmake.

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.

I would be more than happy if they made a Xbox emulator for PC. :D

It wasn't dead for us, and for me finding a match on halo 2 was quick. Never had to wait to find a full game when playing team snipers, team slayer, swat, or big team.

Maybe you had some magical power. It took a while to matchmake on TS. And on other xbox 1 games....guess what....DEADZ1111!!

I don't remember any particularly long wait times when I played Halo 2... and my connection wasn't all that good, either.

I remember long wait times. I got into a game, but there were 7 people not 6, so i got booted out back into the menu. Rinse Wash Repeat. And I always ended up with the same people game after game after game after game after game a lot. Oh, and ragequitters were everywhere. And people lagged out.


Terrible Matchmaking FTL!
