Halo 2 for Life!

which old gamer tags.... no.
Posted by: xlSamsonlx
It's about time they started deleting all of those old gamertags.

  • 05.14.2011 12:17 PM PDT

The gamer tags that have been inactive for several years now that have never been used or ported to the 360.
The numerous free one month trials that people used, then discarded the tags.

Mainly the ones whose windows live ID they were linked to were deleted, thus making them impossible to be used regardless....


Deleting them would free up the names for people who'd actually want them.

Fada beo Halo 2!

loved'em all equally man, i just played more CE than anything.


i think they're all good also, but H2 has a feeling of gameplay that i like, and the most awesome campaign, because they added, duel wielding, battle rifle etc(other weapons), brutes, spectre, boost (for vehicles), phantom, Warthog gauss cannon, and more.

Halo fanboy since December 2001.

Now, that I got my new xbox slim I will be able to make some comparison videos finally.

Anyways, this is a new tag I made because this is the FREE trial with the Xbox.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Can someone (maybe JacobGRocks?) explain Kai or whatever it is and how I set it up? That way I can make videos explaining comparisons.

I will try to compare the games by only using positives and any negative opinions or conclusions will just be in text. It might take a while because my capture card is broken. >.<

Like I said above I made a new tag so I might post from there but just understand it's me talking. Thanks. 3:15AM...

If you are talking about xlink kai then use these links:

http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ click on Faqs "located on the top of the screen" and it will explain what xlink kai is and how to use it.

http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/quickstart.php this link will tell you how to set it up.

If you follow the instructions and read the faqs, it will be easy to set up and use. As the site puts it "XLink Kai is a program that you run on your PC or Macintosh that allows you to play system-link / LAN-enabled games for your XBox, Playstation 2, Gamecube and PSP". It allows you to play online with friends via system link through the use of this program for free. So its a good way to play games online with friends when your xbox live expires or if you want to play custom games online with friends on Halo 2, etc.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Definitely had the most fun playing H2 out of any Halo game, even though I think CE had better gameplay all in all. One thing that made it so great was that for the duration of its lifespan EVERYONE played H2, there wasn't any game that could compete with it until it was replaced by H3.

How exactly is it overrated again? I thought Halo 2 was undoubtedly one of the best Halo games...

Wait 4 Halo 4.

ummmmmmm.....no

As much nostalgia is brought on by those graphics, this game needs to be remade after ce comes out. I can name so many crappy things with the campaign that made it the most frustrating of the campaigns (i'm not asking for the damage tables to be changed, but I am asking not to be sniped with a carbine by Johnson 75 times while fighting Tartarus and not to be thrown off of a cliff by a friendly wraith)
As I see it is more than very likely that ce will use the reach engine, if there is a remake of H2 before a brand spankin' new Halo comes out (I hope its H4 because Noble Team was a weak cast of characters and I never want to see anyone like them replace the chief again) it will likely use that as well, so hopefully they can make online play not as crappy. Reach brought on a new kind of experience for you if your friends were on, but if not (unfortunately for me they're all crazy cod addicts) then I should be able to play a game of anything with even teams instead of being stuck by myself against a team of 8 after my teammates rage quit or go eat dinner. (Half of this belongs in the reach forum, but I'm just getting my opinion out there)

Nice, refreshing critique. The only reason I may not agree with an AI upgrade is if there is too much labor involved in the remake. MS is already challenged to upgrade CE and H2 for Live by the fans (consumers) of those games and I believe, if they ever do update CE and/or H2 for Live, they will do it the least costly way. I think MS could score major 'We are there for you' consumer points. Big gaming corporations do try, from time to time, to project an image of 'We care'. Sometimes, if 'winning back consumers' comes up at the corporate meetings, they will invest money to upgrade their image.

A CE and H2 upgrade for Live only could work....maybe after H4.

Thanks for this. Will it work with 360 though?

Xlink kai works just fine on the 360, so don't worry about it. It works fine on any game system that allows system link.

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

Hook Xbox up to router, or Xbox up to PC. PC must also be wired.

I never got what the fuss was about playing Halo2 at my friends house. Then Halo3 came out and the moment I touched the controller I fell in love. Nothing will ever be more addicting than Halo3. Best game of all time. Halo2 was bad.

Truth is, it doesn't matter if you wear goggles, h2 is still bad. My friend played it. He said it sucked too.

In all honesty Noble Six, I've forgiven you for starting this thread, but you cannot honestly post your original content and let this thread die. It's like forming a AR VS BR or COD VS HALO or any other thread that has a very high potential of starting a flaming ping pong festival and thinking it'll blow over without mods intervening or this thread out growing the populus. So basically just don't bother posting on here even if others have decided to join the bonfire.

This is my last post in this thread, I wont be responding to anything.

Halo 2 for Life!

this thread is now about nyan cat

http://nyan.cat/

discuss lol.


well this is not about fire it's about talking about how some feel.

the reason they feel the way they do about halo 2 is usually because they were serious players and were made fun of in h2 online or they never played halo2 and they enjoy other halo's they are more familiar with.

as long as we are talking about halo 2 I don't care if you dis-like it or not, as long as one explains why they feel that way about halo 2.

They jumped on the bandwagon while never experiencing Halo CE on LANs.

Playing them out of order and never LANing is the only logical reason someone would prefer Halo 2 over CE.

It had a bad net code, cheaters, a very boring and detracting story mode, horrible level design, unskilled gameplay, and a terrible community.
