Sadly I wasn't apart of the Halo 2 Community. I got H2 back in April of ('08 or '09) and really enjoyed the multiplayer & Campaign Experience. It was awesome to see the Community rally together for this great game. I saw quite abit of Community Members.

Wow when you actualy said that we ( the final 50 elites) are awsome i had the biggest smile on my face. I am still hanging in there and i hope the people who are with me do the same utill we are removed. This has been on of the best things i had done in a very long time.

So. Many. GIFs. At. One. Time! Halo 2 multiplayer was truly one of the greatest experiences of all time for me. I was underage by seven years, but we were simply inseparable. I first got the taste of its goodness at a friend's house. At the time, the only sort of gaming console I had was a Nintendo 64. When I first laid my eyes on Halo 2, though, I knew I had to have it. From thereon, I saved, and I saved any money that came my way. Until, finally, I had enough. And the rest, is history.

I remember when I first got Halo 2. It was the day before Christmas Eve, and I had my 3 best friends over (sadly I don't talk to any of them anymore). We were playing Halo CE all day, and that night we all started begging my dad to let me open one present, (We basically knew my dad got me Halo 2.) So after a while of begging my dad gave me a present, and I opened it. It was a box of chocolates. We were so disappointed, we just started playing Halo 1 again. About 30 minutes later I decide to open up the box of chocolate, and there it was...

It just makes you miss all your old friends and all the good times that you just wish you could relive one more time. RIP Halo 2, though I'm still playing it right now. :)

wow man, sorry to hear that

Halo 2 was simply a unique experience because it changed Xbox Live forever. I'm happy for everyone who got to experience Halo 2. I'll never forget the intensity of not wanting to loose that pretty looking symbol that everyone received after ranking up. Believe it or not, those colored, numbered icons contributed so much to a highly competitive online experience. Thanks Bungie

All i know is that like so many others my truest and earliest friends are my friends thanks only to halo2. for me it helped spawn a small cult that may be the end of me... as well as a obsession with video games that i intend to be life long. good bye halo 2 multiplayer i only wish i had played you more.
-
thx for calling me Awesome :)

oh gawd! it's over. i still don't know how to handle it. i started waaay back in the day a little after launch when i was around mmmm..... 9, on the origonal x-box. when halo 3 came out 4 the 360 i was so blown away by all the new features (forge theatre ect.) that i unconciously abandon good Ol' halo 2 and untill last month when i herd the server was shutting down i hadn't touched the game. after being informed that it would be shut down i promptly popped in the game, compleeted the campaign 2 times over and went to work in matchmaking on my original account (it just felt better that way). i logged a bunch of games within this month and started about a couple days ago with my new account on my journey to get 777 kills and 777 deaths although i already had around 600 kills and about 200 deaths so i had lots of dying to do! once i got up to my 777 kills i just started going into matches and getting slaughtered. i soon arived at my 777 deaths last night and i wish i would have took my time b/c now im on the "zombie server" and still able to play but i dont want to ruin what i worked so hard 4 and ruined my 3.something k/d for so now i sit and wait on halo 2 as one of the last 50 and cant play. but, i'll be here until i am forcefully removed via them shutting down the "zombie server" or my xbox getting the RROD woah i kinda started to just rant, lol i do that sometimes but, to get to your question my favorite things about halo 2 were kind of the small things that added up to make the game so great. i also like all the map animation ( i mean who dosn't think a train going a hundred mph in a MP map is cool?) BESIDES THAT these last couple weeks have been my favorite. as much as i hate to see it go, the humpday and the comunity that was left and were truly there b/c they loved the game started showing more and more BTW, thank you bungie for the experience and the humpday i got to play with brownV who is, from my understanding, a environmental artist? and phurion IN THE SAME GAME! what are the chances? + i got to meet greenskull from R.U.L who i ended up befriending all in all it was a great game and experience. it will truly be missed you say "im awesome for being in the final 50" i say " no BUNGIE your awesome for being the greatest game developers ever" [Edited on 04.16.2010 3:19 PM PDT]

I love all of those pictures!!

I remember when I first got Halo 2, me and my friends would always be squinting at a small screen divided into four smaller screens trying to play an epic sword game. I also recall the sword being the weapon that was always rushed due to its insane dominence on Lockout. I mean, back in late '04 / early '05 were the times when me and my buddies wouldn't pay attention in school. We were always talking about Halo 2. I mean, there was just some magic to the game that made it so fun and addicting... even with its unpolished look. It was pure magic. For some reason, some of the magic of gaming is lost whenever you switch to an HD TV... LAN party, anyone?

My favorite Halo 2 memory might be a little different from others... During the summer of 2006, my dad's cancer returned. Now before I go on, I know this is the Internet and some people will unfortunately not take this seriously. I understand. I was 15 at the time and completely shocked. Needless to say, I had no idea of what to do. For the remainder of the summer, I had to stay at home during weekdays because I had to hold down the house. My father eventually died in August of that summer. To this day, I don't know if I could have gotten through those 3 terrible months without playing Halo 2 with my best buds. That's why I love this game.

Halo 2 was the first "Violent" videogame I ever owned. My older brother's friend got it for him for Christmas without asking my Mom first, and because of the fact that the game was really only rated mature because of the flood (which weren't all that bad), it helped her to realize that not all Mature games were bad and that it should be evaluated on a game by game basis. I never had Live till Halo 2 though, so I have little memories of Halo 2 Multiplayer. I would have loved to play on the final day of Halo 2, but I am in college, without an Xbox, so my Older Brother ghost-played for me on my account, which made me happy, as now he has some unique memories I'll never have. Maybe some day we could get together at PAX or something and rig up a system link game for old times sake...

I'll never forget playing halo 2 on xbox live. Those were the good old days. I'll never forget my buddies who loved playing it as much as i did. We had fun. Incredible job.
-
R.I.P Halo 2. I admit I didn't play it much on Xbox Live because Halo 3 was released when I first recieved Xbox Live. But the fact that I won't be able to play it on Xbox Live is saddening. Goodbye Halo 2, you will be missed.

I wonder what people 500 years from now will think about the impact that Bungie has made and the way that people communicate with one another. Ive made so many friends from Halo and Im just totally blown away with where we are in life. Wonder what Reach will be like (hopefully just as good, or even better, than Halo 2) Thanks, Bungie. Reach will be just as amazing. Ill stick with you guys till the end.

64 players online. Oh man that makes me sad. Goodnight sweet prince.
-
Doing it for the irish! <3 Bungie
-
I still remember the day I got this game. Good memories. The Flood sea monkeys, birthday grunts, the Arbiter, Brutes, Gravemind. A true titan among games. Thank you Bungie, and farewell Halo 2. [Edited on 04.16.2010 3:04 PM PDT]

Lots of great memories with this. This game got me interested in LAN parties.(I know, I know, I was to young when CE came out) It was a tradition at the end of semesters I'd throw a Halo 2 LAN party. Lots of Pizza and great times. Best memory in game: I would have to say were were playing BTB slayer on Coagulation. I was on a hill near the trees. I was surrounded. I was trying to get the rocket my buddy dropped while a tank and 3 players rushed me. I though I was dead for sure and would try to take out the tank. Right when I held X to pick the rockets up, an enemy banshee came up from behind to try and splatter me. Instead of picking up the rocket, I highjacked the banshee instead flying away to safety. Most exciting moment in any game for me period.

<3 I'm going to download ALL of these images when I get back to my home machine... awesome farewell.
-
I'm really going to miss halo 2. My best memory of the game was waiting in line for 8 hours with all of my best friends that i played halo 1 with all the time on LAN. I really miss those days.

This guy is streaming playing h2 matchmaking online, my friend who has his box set up at my house is still playing and was playing in his game earlier :p http://www.justin.tv/o0domination0o#r=IULV2L0~ Anyway, I had a blast playing Halo 2 over the years. On my current gamertag i had over 1400 matches, and I can imagine that number would be doubled the number of system link lockout TS games that I have played. Used to play with a group of 6-8 guys after school EVERY DAY. Well, it's off to XBConnect to play some more! you should all join me :p
