Subject: I never played Halo 2 MM.

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon—and we had to share the rock!"

-Sgt. Johnson

Yep you heard me, I never played Halo 2 matchmaking. Here's the reason: I didn't get my Xbox until Halo 3 was already out. I still got Halo 2 to play the campaign but I just played Multi-player in 3.

I played plenty of Halo CE on the PC though.

So what did I miss out on? Where those the golden days of Halo?

Gather around the campfire, once it goes out, it's out for good.

you missed out on the days of clans and voice masking

I have maybe 20 logged online matches on Halo 2. I enjoyed the short time I played it.

It's debatable whether Halo 2 were the golden days of Halo. What it definitely was was the golden days of Xbox Live. This was when the XBL community was at its best, everyone active, talking, playing with strangers in customs...it was a blast every time you hopped on.

The XBL community we have nowadays is the complete opposite of what it used to be, everyone isolates themselves from randoms. Not to mention Halo 2 was just a fun ass game overall. My favorite online game of all time.

I didn't get Xbox Live until after Halo 3 came out, and yet I still played about 300 games of Halo 2 Matchmaking.

Good times.

it was boring
You complain about everything getting boring sooner or later.

I played a few games of it, then ODST came and service on H2 was shut down.

Covan was here, December 20th.

Come back later, after he's out of Parris Island.

We're almost exactly the same, except I didn't get XBL until H3 was already out.

So I just stayed in H2's campaign, doing easter eggs and just... playing I guess. I bet that I clocked in more hours on H2 than any other game.

From what I've heard, we've missed out on BXR'ing, glitching, and grenade spamming.

Glitches were part of the fun in Halo 2. I remember spending hours in custom games just searching for easter eggs, breaking outside map barriers, or doing other glitches with friends or randoms. Fun times.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Ugh the memories.

I had more fun playing Halo 2 those last weeks than I did three years of Halo 3.

Halo 2 was near perfection in terms of design, vehicles, map layout and gameplay. It still has some of the best MP maps ever, IMO.

I miss it dearly.

It was a ton of fun but I still think halo 3 was better IMO

  • 12.16.2012 4:11 PM PDT

Halo 2 MM is when I first got XBL, and it's still my favorite Halo MM.

I don't remember ever complaining about having to play a map in Halo 2. Just about every map was enjoyable to play.

I played a lot of Halo 2 multiplayer, but, overall, I think Halo 3 has had the best. I love Halo 2 simply for the ridiculous fun of Super-Jumps and Rocket-Sword Canceling.

  • 12.16.2012 4:17 PM PDT

My Brahman is ready.

I played Halo 2 shortly before it went offline, and I had to say, it wasn't what I expected it to be. It was alright, but I felt Halo 3 to be better, overall.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

You miss the days of idiots on Relic backin the warthog into the water and teamkilling the gunner.

Giant spartan glitch

MLG thinking they're pro becuase they used glitches to gain the upper hand and is too afraid to win by conventanal means.

Zanzibar War

Ghosts of Halo

Fun and replayable gameplay

No random bs like sword blocking (that should've been in campaign only)

Religion breeds hate

You, imo, DID miss out on some good times.
