Subject: I miss this game so incredibly much.

Sup, I'm Vette. My online name is usually Corvette19, so if you see me at another website, that's my name. I first started playing Halo when I was in the 4th grade, now I've graduated. I believe that was 2002-2003? Anyways, I've been with Halo for a long time. I mod Halo PC/CE so just hit me up if you want to. My Xfire=Corvette19. That's all I can say pretty much..

I miss this game SO MUCH :(

Life is all, just a dream...

I agree with everything listed above, Halo 2 brought the Halo Universe to the xboxlive world, and united so many people. The game had it all, and then some. Instead of a Halo 1 remake, I'd much rather have Halo 2 for the 360, just like it was before ;) My best memories were of in Halo 2!

I miss the zombie games, they were sick.
I miss reliable weapons which required more skill than luck to use.
I miss going into MM and knowing any map you play on will be a good map.
I miss how talkative everyone was, before private chat. I had so much more friends to play with back then.
I miss BTB when it felt like it meant something and not just a random selection of people running around doing nothing.
I miss the ranks and how good it felt when you finally ranked up after ages of hard work.
I hope Halo 4 Doesn't do a Halo 3 and reach and be terrible so random children enjoy the game instead of true Halo fans.

This.

Needlers are now useless (somewhat in Halo 3, a lot in Reach) because enemies dive from them and because (in Reach), you need extra needles on Elites.

I love butterflying. Swing + reload. I can do miniature sword flying. :D

Rofl, yeah I remember butterflying. I think Frogblast did a butterfly all the way to the top of the Cairo MACgun the first week or two after release, lol.

I miss when Halo didn't have armour abilities. I miss when Halo 3 was launched and fixed the broken Halo 2.

As a few others said. I miss seeing almost my entire friends list playing halo. And exploring all of the maps outside of the boundry. So much time spent in it. Never will play another game as much as I did halo 2.

And the thing is, I don't understand why these things had to disappear. The gameplay mechanics in Halo 2 were, in my opinion, clearly the best in any Halo game but seeing these other key aspects altered or removed from the series was perhaps even more frustrating. I get that Bungie wanted to cater to the masses but still. The Reach maps are terrible. To go from some of the best multiplayer maps to ever grace a game to this crap is just inexcusable.

I for one am glad Bungie is done with Halo. Here's to hoping that 343 turns this franchise back in the right direction. Great maps, BTB, and a good ranking system. It's really not rocket science.

When I played Halo 2 in 2004 - 2007, I always thought it was a disappointment because I didn't like how they made you play as the arbiter, fight bosses ( i thought this was one of the things Halo CE put an end to ) and thought the campaign was just way worse. But now I fully appreciate Halo 2 as probably my favorite game of all time because of the memories I have in its multiplayer. In my opinion, Halo 2 has the best multiplayer ever. I also now realize that the addition of the arbiter and prophets and stuff was all necessary to expand the Halo story. Although it isnt the most polished Halo game, at least Halo 2 innovated the Halo experienced and I think it did for the better.
