was wondering if anyone else is starting to miss HALO 2, lately when playing reach Ikeep think about how awesome the sword used to be back in 2 whenever I use the reach one, how badass the vrutes and elites used to look back in 2 when compared to how they look now, that awesome pistol with the ultimate ROF, dual needlers! HALO 2's campaign and music and ofcourse it's multiplayer maps

probably just feeling nostalgic, it'll pass of after the next few days or maybe it's because I (and a few of you) just want to play the same game all over again

How about you folks, anyone miss the game/ever feel the same way I do?

If you really love and miss the multiplayer action, buy it for the computer and plug your controller into your PC. It is instant nostalgia and feels like the old days.

Not entirely, I'd have to be using the original xbox controller + no split screen on PC, that was the way for it back in 2005: 4 player split screen

There are usually around 50 people playing it. It is total carnage when you get into a full match of CTF on Coagulation.

Pure win!

Well online is IMO better.

Just be careful the netcode sucks :P

Damn you Microsoft!

OT: I could not do that either for a little while, but one day it just worked. And since then my life has been pure win!

50 players online for a PC game is pretty pathetic. Really wish Microsoft didnt drop the ball on Halo 2 (PC) as bad as they did. Would love to get 1000/1000 for it.

went on for 20 minutes, the population is nearly extinct, even lower then HALO 2's population on XBL for a month before it's shutdown

Of course the population is almost nonexistent. Time flies, new games come out. Halo 2 is 7 years old. It is an amazing game, many love it, but unfortunately many do not play it.

Either way some of them are really dedicated Halo 2 fans. Some of them are so fun to play and talk to. It really brings back good memories.

Halo 2 (PC) has always had a bad community though, almost every skipped it because it was VISTA exclusive. What is even worse though Microsoft ignored all the issues with it like bad KB+M support, no custom resolution, bad modding tools and ect.

All of this stuff could have been fixed too.

  • 12.03.2011 3:40 AM PDT

Yea, we know, Halo 2 was the greatest and most loved Halo by a lot of the community. I miss it but seriously, just play it or move on. Don't sit depressed all day reflecting on better days.

Can't really play it as the original XBL is down, XBC/XLink are not ideal and Halo 2 (PC) is dead online.

It is a Vista exclusive, however it still works for Windows 7 which is what I am currently using.

".....and my personal favorite, You Just Got Sarged."

RVB :Sarge

Easily my favorite of the halos. The best and definitive multiplayer, and in my opinion the best campaign.

Too many memories to count, really. I mean and the easter eggs too? Remember the giant soccer ball? The Scarab gun? Remember what you had to DO to get the scarab gun? lol.

The awesome, awesome music, remember the first time you killed the hunters in new Mombasa and that bad-ass baseline opened up, as you were ducking and weaving fighting jackal snipers and buggers?

Remember a halo where getting the skulls was -blam!- awesome? Remember IWBYD and the Special ops elite survival wave to get it? Remember how much more awesome sputnik was then cowbell? Remember those huge Sentinels that were so bad-ass but then never to be seen again in a halo title..

I could go on, and on about halo 2. Over the bush, around the bend, nothing but jackal.

While I can use XBC and XLink A LOT of people can't and its not exactly ideal either.

Honestly what would be awesome is a remastered version of Halo 2 in 1080p and 60FPS on Games on Demand (Halo 2 sold over 2 million so any remakes/version can instantly go on Games on Demand like Crysis 1 did)

Halo 2 is an overhyped, overrated piece of -blam!- that I would much rather forget. Worst game in the series with Reach.

You opinion is respectable, but I would still like to know why you feel Halo 2 was one of the worst.

Any reason to back that up or do you just want to come into the thread to try and start stuff up?

Halo:CE > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Reach

Anybody notice a pattern?
