Hehe.

I'm really regretting not playing that much Halo 2 online in the past. I never did find a really good bunch of people to play with.

Hopefully I get my fill in tomorrow night. :lol

Ive come to realize its a horrible game full of glitches, cheats and general bullshit.

:(

Its almost as bad as MW2 :p
 
Did you know?

"If you've yet to experience Phantom Pistols on Waterworks, there's still time!"

"This will be the last time you'll get to experience Backwash online. Bummer, eh?"

"Thanks for playing. Seriously? More than five years after launch? You're awesome."

"Grenade Party! Can't four-shot? Chuck some grenades."

"BUNGLE Pro. Sign-ups for the Fall Season begin on May 3rd. Gain access through your copy of Halo 3: ODST."

"Shameless Plug! The Halo: Reach Beta begins on May 3rd! Go buy ODST!"

"Admit it, the first you boarded a vehicle it was pretty awesome."

"BXR! Yeah, it's cheating."

"SMG Starts! Okay, we admit it. It was a bad idea."

"Last Chance! If you want to have access to all the free Halo 2 DLC, go grab it now. It all goes offline on the 15th of April."

"Lockout! A pixel perfect remake of Halo 3's Guardian, the spiritual successor to Blackout."

"Tired of obnoxious teammates or opponents? Use the hand mute feat..oh wait, it hasn't been invented yet."

"Squat and Hobble! Although crouch-walking is slow, it makes you invisible to enemy motion detectors. It's also a sweet way to force a fallen opponent to suck your crotch!"

"I am your Father! Use Voice Masking to add at least ten years to your online persona!"

"Superbouncing'! Even from waaaaaay down you here, you still look like a douche!

"Dual Wielding. When all fails, circle strafe."

"Title Update 4 adds Theater support, screenshots and Forge to Halo 2! Coming: NEVER."

"Needs Moar Laser! You know what would make this game even more awesome? The Laser."

"Woosh! You know what would make this game even more awesome? Jetpacks!"
 
I'm (slowly) re-downloading the map packs and I'll be on right after. GT=NH Apache.

I'm ready to try out my new headset that just came in the mail today. Woo!
 
I have to admit, I'm starting to feel quite nostalgic towards Halo 2 right about now. I wish it wasn't going away, even though I haven't played in quite some time. So many great memories that were never quite duplicated in Halo 3...
 
halo 2 was the game that really got me back into video games. i played a decent amount of halo: ce my freshmen year of college and then started following the BWUs for halo 2. i can't believe how long ago that was. crazy. looking forward to getting in a couple games tomorrow.

Yes I did! I will be up for playing anything tomorrow, as long as it is Halo 2:D .

Those Halo 2 messages are so awesome. :lol
Kudos to whoever was in charge of that (I have a feeling he is reading this).

So this.

When I first jumped on again after a 3 year absence, I was psyched up, and after a couple of games realised how bad Halo 2 MP is compared to 3.

Not looking forward to the last few hours but I jusy have to pay my respects.

Anyone got a lineup that tells us the final hour so we can align our clocks internationally?

I'm worried the last games will be while I'm in my beddy bies

I think it was mentioned previously that Major Nelson has a countdown on his page.

OWV, you've blown my mind yet again.

Dammit Letters and your edit.
On Halo 2 now.
 
Those "Did you know" quotes are amazing.. great job Bungie.

Going to for some Halo 2 action later tonight with a couple of friends! :D

You could not come up with a more generic, stupid title for a shooter.

Also, thanks to the East Coast, us West Coasters don't have to wait until 12:30 am Friday to get the Invasion footage, we can get it around 9:30-10pm Thursday. :D

The show doesn't air until Friday night, technically Saturday morning, so yea, you're a day ahead of yourself. Us beastcoasters are from the future, but not quite that far into it. :P

I have the Resident Evil zombie mode (no weapon respawns) and I have Tower of Power as well. We need to have a HUGE customs party tomorrow
obviously some matchmaking too.

Holy crap I totally forgot about this gametype. We 16 gaffers to play this with tomorrow night.
 
So, I forget what the answer was to this question, but are we still going to be able to play Original Xbox games on our 360's after the live service for them shuts down? Like, offline, or something, or are they going to be unplayable?

Hopefully people actually join this time, I tried Tower of Power a few days ago but we only had 8 people actually join.

You can play offline.
 
Watching Tashi play Halo 2 made me think... Are there separate assassination animations when one or both of the involved parties are ducking? An upper cut that sends enemies into the air would be rad.

We'll have to wait for the answer to that. They really haven't showed any others than what is in the beta trailer.

Whew, thanks. I thought I wouldn't be able to play a few games anymore.

Also, that was a awesome comeback on Tashi's screen just now. Watching it reminds me of how much the SMG was ineffective in Halo 2, though. :lol
