I've been playing halo (starting with combat evolved) since I was seven, and It's truly helped me a lot in life. Whenever I felt depressed (I was bullied a lot as a child), Halo 2 was always there to make it better. me and my dad used to play custom games and co-op campaign all the time. also I will never forget the long summers of 05, 06, and 07, when practically every other day my three best friends and I would walk around talking for a couple of hours, or having a water fight, before going over to one of our houses (normally mine because I was my house was about halfway between all of the others) for split screen games on halo 2. FFA slayer on coagulation with all vehicles enabled and no time limit, first to 100 kills (horribly unbalanced when one of us would grab a scorpion and destroy all of the other vehicles, but we really didn't care because it was still fun) I remember how I would grab a ghost and attempt to jump off and board the scorpion, but got killed almost every time. one day I managed it only to be killed by the tank exploding upon me hijacking it, we laughed until we could hardly breathe. there were other gametypes we played of course, with Fiesta and snipers being popular choices too. I didn't get xbox live until after halo 3 had come out, and I will forever regret not playing more of halo 2 online. I will never forget halo 2, and I hope that one day in the future we'll meet up again like we did back then and play splitscreen like we used to. thankyou bungie for making such an amazing game <3.
