Its a testament to the long lasting love affair people have for this game that back in 2013 I was still able to buy a brand new, sealed copy of this game for 20$ on amazon. Well after the 360 was in full swing you could still go back and get this game, as if it were still on people's radar.

2023-08-21 20:00:18 +0000 UTCI love Halo 2 simply love it my favorite things about it is the dual storytelling, the battle rifle and the pacing. During the pandemic I took care of my Halo gap from Combat evolved to Halo reach. And Halo 2 is the one that I guess is my champion from the rest. ODST came close, but I had to go with chief, pretty impressive for an unfinished game lol

2023-08-21 07:33:20 +0000 UTCYes! I will not say Halo 2 is the best game I've ever played, but it is the most important to me. The Friday night LAN parties with 7 of my best pals are something I wish I could revisit once more now that I'm in my 30s. Now everyone is off busy being an adult. It is true what they say, sometimes you don't realize the good times until they are gone.

2023-08-21 02:02:24 +0000 UTCFYI Halo 2 was made in 10 months, I think actually 50% of the game was cut which ended up becoming halo 3 but also a lot of other plans even a warthog run and other enemy varients or maps were cut. The game if I remember had an ambitious plan with it's E3 demo but they found out that the actual game ran horribly on the xbox. Bungie wanted to launch it on the 360 for better hardware xbox pressured them into the xbox. As a result a lot was cut and the game had HORRIBLE crunch.

2023-08-20 23:43:36 +0000 UTCHard for it to be covered here, but while I love halo 2 for it's campaign ad story/music. A whole other part of halo 2 that was so massive was obviously it's multiplayer and how massive it's online portion was. Halo represented 2000s culture back then in so many ways. Personally Halo 2 was really important for me as it was a game I played after my gf died and it helped me slowly open up as freinds came over and we played the game together

2023-08-20 16:59:27 +0000 UTCThe Master Chief personality is meant to be for two reasons. Mainly it’s so the character is an empty shell for the player to inhabit but there’s also lore and story reasons that the later games get into.

2023-08-20 16:52:06 +0000 UTCHalo 2 is my favourite game of all time. It’s just another example of showing how ahead of the curve Bungie was. The Halo 2 online menu was basically the proto-Xbox 360 dashboard. It had your list of friends with the options to send text/voice messages, your own avatar, inviting friends to parties. The campaign in Halo 3 as epic as it was, always felt like a step down from 2 in terms of story as it just felt simple in comparison.
