Subject: What would you do to go back to the H2 days of glory/see a remake.

Simply put, anything.

As a gamer for most my life now, I can easily say this was the best game I have ever played, I still reminisce the XBL memories to this day of playing 7-8 hours a day and never getting bored for years.

It seems like in the last few years with gaming, i can't play most games a few hours a week without getting sick of them.

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

I would say Halo 2 is dead, and no one cares.

Halo 2 for Life!

I'd pay 10 dollars a month to play H2 online again over XBL.

It's a classic, legend. We cannot experience the same game on PC, it doesn't have the same feeling. Also, no matchmaking, not lots of players. And playing H2 with mouse is strange or poorly made convert. Also the PC version has lots of bugs which never have been fixed.

The feeling of the start of 00s is gone. Technology has advanced. And it changes world in America, Asia, Oceania and Europe. Slowly in Africa, but it will come.

Shame, it was a legend game online.

[H2E] "Halo 2 Extremists" is a group of people who want Halo 2 remade for the Xbox 360. We will fight our good fight and promote Halo 2 as it was, one of the best Halo games ever made. We want Halo 2 to be either an Xbox Arcade game or remade as a whole new disk compatible for Xbox 360 servers.

Halo 2 was an Xbox Original that made Xbox Live.
Back in the old days, Xbox Live didn't have a friends list, nor messages and clans to communicate with players you knew well and grew a bond with.

Halo 2 wasn't only a game, it was a place where peiople in the online gaming community could make friends and do more than just shoot to kill. Back in the Halo 2 days people would play custom games like zombies, tremors, 300, warthog wars, hide and seak, kill the fat kid, boxing, and cops and robbers.

Back in Halo 2, there were many glitches which didn't ruin of effect the gameplay at all, in fact, it made it better and made the game more skill-wise. To defeat some players you would have to learn how to BxR or BxB and the ranking system wasn't so easily achieved.

Hell, back in the Halo 2 days, a rank 30+ was considered good, if you were rank 24+ you were considered a pretty good player and you would rarly see at rank 40+.

Back in Halo 2, people would mod, and you have to admit, modded custom games were pretty damn fun.
Flying that warthog around and playing challenge mods like the Donkey Kong mod (ect) were a blast!

Halo 2 was by far the funnest Halo game with the most memories that you will remember for a long time. I'm sure most of you can think back to the times where you got outside of the map for the first time, or met a modder, or found a cool easter egg, or played a fun custom game, or had a laughable moment in the pre-game lobby (ect)

All we want is Halo 2 remade so we can play it online on the Xbox 360 servers.

I hope this message has touched your hearts, as Halo 2 did ours. When Halo 2 went offline it felt like a loved one has perished, bring back Halo2, I know you can.

Fight with me, for Halo 2.

Message my gamertag, "Xx XiLD xX" to talk to me personally if your interested.

Ask 343 to do new H2? Maybe.

Good call haha. I was actually going to try to find an appropriate place where people could tell 343 that an HD port would be well received :)

I don't really understand you. Why is it that you need to come to the Halo 2 board and tell everyone how much you hate the game and think it sucks?

Because it's the truth. The people who want it back don't even try to make their own private servers, instead, they sit back and beg. So don't expect this for halo 2 xbox, because all the people who want it back sit and beg.

They also don't play the PC port or use Xlink Kai, they sit back and moan saying "I NEED A 360 PORT". And also explain why my local used game store has piles of h2 copies sitting because no one is buying them. If people still cared, wouldn't they be selling the minute they get them in, like with Pokemon games or Call of Duty (Yeah spb, thats another pokemon reference).


Halo 2 is past it's expiration date, and unlike h3, it wasn't any good after it.

You said yourself that making a private server would be unrealistic.

You hate on the PC port all the time saying that no one should ever buy it.

You also hate on the XBC community for mainly hosting Colombians and you hate Xlink Kai for the Competitive gamers.

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.

Jacob if you hate this game so much, then why do you come here to bash the game on a daily basis. Why not just stop coming to this forum if you dislike Halo 2 so much, you already made your point as to why you hate Halo 2 so much. We don't need the extreme hate, you been spewing onto this forum and to those who still like this game.

Xlink Kai isn't competimorons, it's more colombians on lockout.

Because it's fun. Halo 2 sucks, and you know it. Oh wait, you are in the cult of Halo 2, where you geet free kool aid.

Since your only defense is "U SUCK", you just can't handle the truth.

I would pay 200$, or perhaps more, to have an identical port (including old friends list menu, messaging, and clans) of Halo 2 for Xbox 360.

I've probably spent close to a year's worth of my life playing it.

From the day it came out, to learning rocket-sword glitch, to falling underneath ivory tower, to scaling Headlong, to my final game where I threw 3 plasma grenades on the Offense's walkway on Zanzibar 1 Flag, stopping the flag carrier and his two companions, Halo 2 has been a major part of my life.

I miss the menus, I miss the once gigantic community, I miss getting pissed off by modders, I miss my grandmaw yelling at me for cussing (lol), I miss the friends that I've lost who played, I miss the lan parties where I acted like a bastard, and I miss those days when Halo 2 turned bad days into good ones.

You wouldn't. You would moan about how it's too expensive. You can get the PC port for $20.

And if it's $200, the community would be small, and it would become more pricey then Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn.

No. You are convinced it's the truth.

You can't blame people for not doing playing Halo 2 on xbc.
Personaly i want plug and play, i'd like to put the game in my xbox and instantly be able to play online. Thats a standard today.
XBC/Xlink is too troublesome. Yes you can play Halo 2 that way, but it's without ranks, matchmaking and all that. And it's not always easy to connect to your buddies.
XBC nice to have with Halo CE, because that game didn't have online, but xbc offered a sort of online service. And that was very cool at the time.
Halo 2 is like 7 years old now, people who like the game have already bought it. And people who don't, casual gamers... well i don't expect anyone of them even knows what xbc is.
The game dosen't have online capabilities anymore, so the fun is more than cut in half.

Halo 2 is old, i don't see whats so odd about people not buying old games, even less when you think about there is no online in that game anymore.

But you didn't answer my question. We already heard you think Halo 2 sucks, and thats cool and all. But why are you here, every day, on the Halo 2 board, telling us how much you hate it. Isen't that like a waste of time?

Ranks are pointless, Matchmaking was slow, and you can make parties on both. Oh, and PC PORT!

Holy Crap, someone found it! Halo 2 is old, and no one cares. And I'm posting here because it's fun to post here, while you keep moaning about how you want a remake so bad.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

Because it's fun.


That is the definition of trolling. You come to these forums because you think telling us that enjoy Halo 2 that Halo 2 is stupid is fun?

That is trolling and you should be banned. If only modderators still checked the Halo 2 forums with the exception Dr. Weird.

  • 02.13.2011 2:30 PM PDT

GET A LIFE

Everyone just report JacobGRocks so he can stop trolling already, everyone here is just trying to talk about there great memories on Halo 2 and you just ruin by trolling. Just get off of these forums, go out side, go lay down in the street and get hit by a car.

Banning is only temporary, and the bans here are weak. Also report shock120 and DuSK...oh wait, still not banned. I'm not breaking rules, just telling you h2 is overrated.

Ok and you have made your point so leave. You tell us to move on, yet you yourself have not moved on from trying to tell us Halo 2 is bad.

For us, no other online game has given us the great memories Halo 2 did. There was much fun to be had and many great times to be had. It also had a great matchmaking manager named Jeramiah. Halo 3 had Shishka who I have to say is the worst matchmaking manager for any game ever made. Reach has Jeremiah again but unfortunately, he is managing a game that was specificaly made for casual gamers.

I ask you now, leave and never come back. You have no business trolling here. If you stay on the Halo 2 forum any longer, I will see you as a guy that is jealous of us because we know how to enjoy a great game. Maybe you would have had friends to enjoy the game with if you weren't such a -blam!-.

Nice nolagista goggles there...gotta love them goggles. Also, h2 was made for casuals too, and you can pretend it's skill based all you want, but it isn't.

Also, I'm loling @ your last paragraph.
