Subject: Five long years ago today....

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I've already paid my respects in the Halo 3 forum, but happy birthday Halo 3!

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

That would be Halo 2, my friend.

Wow. It's been that long?! Halo 3 is/was a great game.

But I remember the day fondly. The windows were blocked out. The volume cranked up. The door closed. And I sat in that title screen enjoying the music for a solid ten-twenty before I got down to business. A friend of mine wanted to be there, I permitted this, but nary a word was spoken.

Holy crap 5 years ago? I remember the day it came out it was all anyone talked about. Crazy...

Happy 5th Halo 3!

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

I will play Halo 3 in honor of its anniversary later tonight.

I miss Halo 3...

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

And to think how long it's been since Halo CE

  • 09.25.2012 5:56 PM PDT

It's officially 5 years old now? Wow, time moves too fast.

*raises glass to beautiful creation that was and still is Halo 3*

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

Long live one of the best Halo multiplayers!

ooga booga boooh

Played a few games earlier with friends I've made from here. It was fun. Probably going to get back on and do some more later on. Thanks for 5 awesome years Bungie.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

I just can't believe it's been half a decade since I brought that game home.

Warning, large run-on sentence incoming: I remember that day vividly, the weather, the seat I was sitting in during study hall whilst looking at all the screenshots and trailers that Bungie had released trying to resist looking at new screenshots to avoid spoilers, the agony of having to get allergy shots on my way home after picking up the game after a long day of school, the drink I was drinking, the mess of toys left around my Xbox from some younger kids that happened to be at my house the day before, and all my friends having to go to football practice while I was playing the game.

The following weekend I was worried that I had developed carpal tunnel because I had a small pain in my arm every time I pulled the trigger.

Yep, I can honestly say that was one of the best days of my life.

5 years ago I got my Halo3 groove on. It was not the peak of my gaming experience. Reach definitely was. I suspect destiny will take it's place.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I was sitting in my Middle School classes. One of my friends started talking about Halo 3, and how his older brother was at the midnight release. I wasn't to play it until January, at a different friend's house. Already had playedHalo 2 at his house and loved it.

Halo 3 will always be my best game ever...I still love Reach.

And I will love Destiny when comes out. (hopefully)

  • 09.25.2012 7:13 PM PDT

What a waste....

I still have my LE Xbox. I didn't have live until '09, but god I played the hell out of single player.

  • 09.25.2012 7:34 PM PDT

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

Halo 3 was the beginning of the decline of Halo.

Don't worry though Bungie I still love you for CE and especially Halo 2, aka the peek of my gaming life, which will never be replicated.

It's been five long, and crazy years since Bungie released Halo 3. Think what you may of the game, but we all know it was the peek of our gaming lives.

So think back five years. To some, it may not have been all that long ago, to others, it was a different lifetime. Think back, and share what you were doing, and let's all congratulate Bungie on the birthday of Halo 3.


Didn't think someone would honor the game on here. Well with 20 minutes left, I'd love to wish the dev team a wonderful 5th birthday on one of their prime achievements. Halo 3 was a game for the ages. The games to come would be so lucky as to meet it's quality for it's time.

I am a Floodian

It's actually probably Halo 2 for me, at least in terms of the Halo franchise. 5 years ago might have been my peak as a gamer, though.
