Once a SPARTAN, always a SPARTAN
I was born in a Covenent Cruser 15 years ago.
My father shot down banshees for a living.

Halo, Halo 2. These are just games. Games that have been very successful in the video game industry. It has shown a good experience in gaming. There are good players and bad players. Young and old. Girl and boy. These people have been introduced to the technology of the new age and have seen how far interactive entertainment can go.
The game HALO was a lunch title of the xbox system in November 5, 2001. It became one of the best lunch titles of the history and gaming. For three years, HALO has been a game that many people have tried there skills at. Whether they have the game and play it 8 hours a day, or go over someone's house to play. No matter what, HALO has always been in there mind.
Almost a year after HALO came out, readers, editors, and Magazine writers were invited to see Bungie’s new game, HALO 2. They were amazed at the graphics and cinematic quality they had seen. And there was the birth of anticipation for HALO 2.
May 13, 2003, E3. There was a demo being shown of the single player missions in HALO 2. Many were excited and could not believe what they saw. Duel-weilding, car jacking, graphics, enemies, and great AI.
People were already getting pumped for what they could play. And then a year later, another demo was shown. Multiplayer. After a year even more people were fascinated and the improvements. The wait was going to be long and the public got there release date. November 9.
These next weeks are tough and people will be getting amped. There is already talk about what SP could be like and talk about clans starting. There is way to much going on. On forums, many have been creating stories and thoughts of what HALO 2 is about. There have been a big obsession on this. I see people saying “HALO 2 is a way of life.” This shocks me. I can’t see HALO 2 or HALO being a way of life. It’s just a game. JUST A GAME.
I earlier wrote a small speech about what kind of obsession is going around. It was how people are reacting to the way HALO 2 is getting to their head and making them forget about WAY more important things in life. School is one of the important things. The only way to get a good job is to learn how to do it and school helps with that. People will play HALO and HALO 2 when they really could be using that time to study. Jobs them selves are important. If you want to make money and keep food on the table, then you must keep working, not playing.
Obsession is one of the big things that are coming out of HALO 2. “There are more important things in life than a simple game.” quote me. You have to keep up with your life then waste it in a basement or something playing a simple game. If people want to accomplish a great goal, then do it without getting sucked in to a game. HALO 2 has been sticking to us and will forever. But have you ever thought of what would happen if HALO 2 could be bad? We have anticipated to much. Think about it.
