Zanzibar VS The Flood 2 (Part 1)


For those that can remember, way back when, Bnet had a forum called "Zanzibar" which was the Halo 2 multiplayer forum and a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Its place in the community at the time is analagous to the position held by the Halo 3 and Halo Reach forums, though neither ever achieved the same volume of vitriol from what I've seen.

At the time, I made dumb little videos about it with Halo Custom Edition. I figure I can post them here now since Zanzibar (the forum) doesn't exist any more (we won!). There's more about it in the description.

Just figured I'd put it up since some of the references to Halo 2 urban legends made me nostalgic. I may put up the rest later; I think I have all of them. My most popular was the helmetless chief one (in my sig), but I didn't know about Youtube back then and let someone else upload it. Millions of views down the drain... oh well.

I was 13 when I made them so please excuse... some parts (nothing really all that bad in this one). Fortunately I didn't do any voice acting.

Cool, watching now.

I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

All I remember about the halo 2 forums was the hunt for some secret door with all the skull mixed, in the New Mombasa forum.

Zanzibar was less readable than the Halo 3 forum at launch.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I liked it.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

lol I remember a funny H2 video. Maybe you guys can help out :P Anyways, pretty much they use the Burger King crown hats as King of The Hill areas irl Halo Dolls. And they talk about how -blam!-/or suzky Halo 2 is. When they get to the area of planting the bomb, one character says, "Ill bomb my OWN base!"

So funny. I want to see it one last time :(

But I enjoyed it. Reminds me of the good ol days!

I don't think I've seen it, and I couldn't find it. Sorry :/

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

The flood lived, while those scums either died or were forced to follow our ways. I wonder if they will ever return, lurking until the moment until the flood is off guard.

I still remember the amount of spam in the Zanzibar forum. People used to make threads in the Septagon telling the mods to ban them. Ah, good times.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

It's not a Halo thread on the Flood without Vien.

They joined the Flood after the Reach and optimatch forums became pointless b/c 343 took over.

That's right, all your most hated "Reachtards" are here. In your very house.

Wrong forum. There is a Halo 2 forum located on this website.

You would consider me relatively newer to Bungie compared to some of the vets here. What has begun? The return of Halo 2?
