Subject: Aww man, gooooood tiimes

I just wandered into the forum and memories are hitting me hard right now. Custom games were the best for me. A time when you didn't have to twist the game itself, but you could have a lobby of 16 guys who would agree to be "Cops and Robbers" and they would just obey made up rules! The best example is probably zombies, where if you got killed by the zombies you actually had to switch from the red team (humans) to the green team (zombies), and people actually played by the rules! Back when you built your bases by punching boxes with your teammates. Back when you could try the same goddamn super bounce for hours. Aww man, GOOD TIMES!

I want to hear some of your memories of the game (this stuff might get posted a lot, but unfortunately I don't roam the forums much these days).

P.S. Halo Reach is already old to me already, when I still play Halo 2 with friends on local. I think Reach has hope though! I have been playing the Classic game-type and the re-made maps and it feels great to play!

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many to list

It might sound silly, but Halo 2 seriously changed my life. It's how I met and got to know 3 of my best friends (2 of them actually went to my high school). The atmosphere in Halo 2 will never be replicated. The best multiplayer and the best people of any game.

WTF? Why don't I own Halo 2 PC?! I'm going to go get it!

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Or you can use XBC/Kai.

Yes. Just dl them and install them, and you won't look like a nub making 5000000 bring back h2 threads.

Haha, I'm not trying to force it back, Classic games in Reach just made me think back to a better day.

Also, thank you guys I didn't know about these alternatives and this summer I will be all over that.

“We are the Mirratord. We strike with speed and stealth. Our enemies will not see their deaths. They will not know their fate. In darkness, we will see light. In light, we will see darkness. No matter the location, we will see victory. If we fail, no one will know. Like a ghost, our presence is a mystery. For the honor of the mirratord" join the Mirratord

Oh my god thank you for the XBConnect thing

If theres a lack of people on XBConnect, try X-Link Kai aswell.

It's filled with laggy ass columbians but you can host your own server.

I have to admit that I fell asleep a handful of times. When my family went to sleep, my night of fun began.

Halo 2 will always be remembered..........

Tower of power has got to be my favorite....Well it might be tied with Zombies on Foundation....Or maybe one flag CTF on Zanzibar...It was fun getting outside the map on Turf for the first time too.......

I could go on for hours......

You knew you were in a great tower of power game when you went over 1000 kills and when the floor disappeared beneath countless spartan corpses and shotguns.

  • 03.24.2011 8:51 PM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

I remember countless custom games of going outside the maps. I remember just before the original xbox live shutdown, for old times sake a group of people on my friends list loaded up Gemini and we all sword canceled our way to the bottom of the map. Too much fun.

Hello! Feel free to some Cobbler as this ODST stares at you.

Forming random plans with people I never met before.
The common brother-ship everyone shared.

I know how that was...

I can't even get my teammates to talk on Reach....

  • 03.24.2011 9:01 PM PDT

Ah yes, good ol' Halo 2. I remember when there weren't so many goddamn tryhards running around. I remember trying out a bunch of different superbounces. I remember trying to glitch out of maps without soft-kill barriers standing in the way.

I like it how people who play Reach do something like go to sleep and people think therefore Reach is losing players.

The first ever custom I played:
Map: Headlong
Gametype: 1 flag CTF
Amount of fun: Over 9000 thousand!
