Subject: Remember when...?

It isn't over unless something harder had just begun.

I love these. Just comment on some of the best things you remember about Halo 2. As for me I loved going into custom games and just bouncing.

Halo 2 for Life!

i'm not a great bouncer, but it was fun to practice a few, frustrating to do others. I found youtube videos helped alot with the bounceing.

I like most playing MM BTB late night with british and aussies.

Also the communication in the game was very good, and trash talking was fun to do in the pre-game.

Trash talking was funny more then abusive and so not having a mike made me think I was missing something (there was no guessing what everyone was doing i.e. in h3 , we all knew what was going on as almost everyone that were in late night btb mm had mikes, and didn't mute or go into private chat like h3).

So, you'd like to know our favorite things about Halo 2? Well, that is quite the question. The reason that is happens to be because there is nothing in the game that I do not appreciate in the slightest. I love it all.

Some highlights, I would have to say, would be dual needlers, dual wielding, skill requirement to rank up in XBL, and the emotions evoked throughout campaign.

But then again, these may change on a day to day basis, as things keep coming to mind, and there is simply so much more to talk about.

To be honest, Halo 2 can, indeed, be summed up into one word. That word is infinity.

I remember when I first saw the Outskirts Scarab gun in March of 2005 here. It took me five years to figure out a way and it was my only trick done by myself, as opposed to taking advice from brother trickers at HIH, which was the normal course of events there. Yeah, I'll never forget the magnificent obsession, it nearly drove me crazy (not a joke).

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

Some of the best things that I remember about Halo 2 were the custom games. Tower of Power on Ascension, Zombies on any map, and getting out of maps by either super bouncing or butterflying were super fun.

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 :(

When I took it out and put CE back in.

Ill admit that CE had the better campaign(in my opinion), H2's MP was above and beyond it's time.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Halo 2's online world was pure greatness...a rare magic that H3 and Reach failed to reproduce.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
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.

When I got a 31 in BTB Skirmish for the first time. :D

Mind bark is the ability to think before acting, foresee issues, and sway others. Like the bark of both trees and dogs, your mind becomes vivid and more callus. Thus, we use "mind bark."

i remember jacking my friends banshee the first time i tried mm on coagulation... AWESOME!
first time dual wielding 2 SMGs or 2 pistols... AWESOME!
first time watching the cutscene at the end of cario station (which was a damn fun level) 'permission to leave the station', 'for what purpose soldier', 'to give the covenant back their bomb', '...permission granted'. how mind blowing was that scene!
first time witnessing HALO 2's graphics which were the best of any game in 2004... AWESOME
i could go on forever about what else is awesome about the game.

Zombies on Foundation

Plain old Warthog Derby

Tower Of Power

Tank fliiiipppzzzzz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkod8jfIkwM&feature=relate d

Orbiting Rockets

The Announcer put some feeling into his voice (Halo 2), by the time Reach came out the announcer sounded like he aged 50 years.

Super bouncing and all that glitch stuff.

Driving spectre's out of containment and having a sumo like match on the top of the containment tower.

Cat and Mouse

Headlong HEADLONG HHHEEEAAADDDDLLLOOOONNNNGGG

Coagulation (not stupid Hemmorage)

Zanzibar (last resort was fine)

Foundation

CUSTOM GAME mods (or using fun mods in matchmaking (no AA))

Flying warthog turrets

Flying warthogs


I really hope Halo HD includes Halo 2 for multiplayer or just a Halo 2 variant (NO ASSASSINATIONS) And maps that are EXACTLY the same as both Halo 1 and Halo 2 down to the very polygon (well add a few more but not too many) It would be awesome if they included Halo 2 maps in HD like a bonus map pack...

Lol, all in good fun my friend. I enjoy the jokes because they are usually on the mark and they are friendly, for the most part. This is a good forum again.

sure, sure thats just your excuse to stop yourself from looking like a fool. JOKES.
yeah OS was a pain in the a** on legendary once you reach that corner of the alley, you NEVER know if you've killed all the jackals. if just one is alive and your not ready for him... 'insert masterchiefs' head here'
but i still enjoyed it though, helped me get ALOT better at sniping and headshots.
