How is that possible...? Halo 2 must have had a serious popularity surge recently...maybe it's because people have been excited for anticipation of Halo 3's release. But that much of a jump in terms of games...that's freaking insane. I don't think any other video game has ever come close to this before.

You might want to check your units, remember a match is when a bunch of players get together on live. Not actual Halo 2 disc's sold. There isn't even 500, 000, 000 Xbox's and Xbox360's combined.

GO AWAY MONKEY!

Yea and about 1/4 of these games have been cheated in some way......I appreciate all the hard work going into trying to stop cheaters, and it has been working a little bit, but it seems like 1 out of every 4 games I play I get cheated in some way shape or form. Can you guys do something where if you spot a cheater you send out a virus to his xbox that makes it blow up??

YAAAAAAAAAY. over half a billion trash talk filled, idiotic, mind numbing joyous hours of small children who shouldnt even know how to cuss wasteing thier minds away playing a video game so much that thie rlives become consumed with it to where its the only thing they think about, talk about or even do. making it to where thier normal everyday activities including things like school, are interupted because these kids care more about thier damn ranks in a game then an education. you know how many kids I have played against that stayed home froms school constanly just to play halo 2??

I am in no way blaming bungie or halo 2 for these kids doing this.... but I blame them for playing and preying off these kids knowing full well what is going on.

Halo 2 will be the downfall of mankind... Im not sure how..


And its only going to get worse when halo 3 comes out. Xbox live was fun, quiet, and entertaining before halo 2 came out.

now, I even find kids yelling in other games like tetris, mechassualt 1 and 2 and other live games where they didnt before halo 2. trash talking in tetris just makes no sense to me whatsoever.
It has made it to where a lot of people I know have completely stopped playing on live all together because who wants to get put down constantly by someone half or even a quarter of thier age??

Oh, you know I love it when Im playing a game on live like say farcry, and then there 3 ten year old on the other team explaining in detail how they are going to find out where i live and kill me and my family and -blam!- my mother because I shot all three of them in a row.. its sad.

THANKS BUNGIE


So, thanks again bungie for making xbox live a horrible place to frequent

Wow, thanks bungie for the great game but I dont really play anymore. I can thank Halo 2 and X Box Live for making me almost fail my freshman year of highschool. But this summer, I'll be back to get addicted again.
