I never signed up on bnet/used the forums back then.

Just curious because it honestly sucks now, its practically all wanting Halo 2 to come back or talking about a "Halo 2 Anniversary".

I mean, I know there's only so much discussion value of a "discontinued" game but idk....


meh...

Well I started playing in 2005-2007 on Halo 2 and the forums were rampant with all sorts of topics and ideas on Halo 3. I miss those days.

Back in the day it was much like the Reach forum probably is now. Lots of talk about the next game and theorizing about what is current. And Grumpy was posting absurdly impossible feats. Topics turned over in like three seconds. I don't think it sucks now. It's just been pared down to the die-hards. People who would argue with a co-worker over his idea that Half-Life was somehow "Better than" Halo. (Cough, hack, jackass...)

The New Mombassa was the place to be on B.net. Loved this place.

I post too actively on Bungie.net. I think it's time I need a vacation.

You make out with midgets.

I only remember one thread from this Forum in the Halo 2 days. And it was the one trying to discover the purpose of the Skulls and if you got them in any particular order if would unlock some secret. That thread is actually the reason I joined Bungie.

It was about as active as any game forum in today's terms. However, back then it was referred to as the New Mombasa forum with Zanzibar as the matchmaking forum. Highly active, although this game has been out for what almost 8 years now?

It was great while it lasted.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

yeah dude, I really loved halo 2, the Campaign with the whole switch between the elites and the Humans was just nothing short then AMAZING, Plus the Multiplayer was Legendary the original XBOX live on the original xbox was so terrible without halo 2 but i was the type of person who didn't really care much about the developers and just knew the game instead of knowing the game creators as much but back then i remember how my older cousins kept on spamming on the forums full of secret skulls to be found in the campaign and the good tactics on xbox live to be used when you are playing online.
I really miss the Golden days...:'(

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Its the same as when Halo 3 and Reach came out. If you were a member back then, you'd know how active those forums were during the 1st 2 years of its release. This forum was like that, every now and then we get a flurry of postings and discussions. Sometime it will go too far and we end up turning the threads into civil wars, lol good times.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I'd assume just a bunch of people -blam!-ing, rating people on how well they did in matches, ideas on halo 3, etc.

20th page back? Long after Halo 2 was shut down? That's when the golden age of Halo 2 was? Interesting...

Lively. I'm surprised it is still as active as it is.

Oh, my bad, let me correct myself:

The 20th page? Before Halo 2 came out? That's when the golden age of Halo 2 was? Interesting...

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

One thing I miss about Halo 2 was the level progression bar in the post game carnage report here on Bungie.net. You know...you could tell how close you were to losing or gaining a rank by how full your bar was? That little feature is what brought me here to Bungie.net in the first place (seeing how close I was to ranking up xD).

I am sure you guys know what I am talking about. It was shown in the overview stats of ranked playlists in your game history.

Just a little flashback...
