A huge chunk of me died inside when the world of halo 2 stopped. But, i will always have those memories until the day i die/stop gaming.
I never got to play halo 2 online competitively as me and my mates couldn't afford the xbox live membership at the time. We did however, throw monthly gaming get together's that usually resulted in an entire weekend of halo 2 gaming with around 8 people. I still kick myself to this day that i missed out on the entire halo 2 online experience. But, at least I got to play it regularly with my best mates, lagg free locally. =P
