Lets face it Halo 2 redefined the multiplayer expierence. It finished the job that games like 007 Goldeneye began. Before Bungie released the epic finish to the Halo expierence and further cemented thier glory has video game gods we were treated to a small commercial with small clips of each map where you heard a voice saying goodbye. Well I think it's time they dust off that video one more time because as of midnight tonight we all say goodbye to Halo 2.
They say it's the end of Xbox v1 and the begining of something better for v2 but to be honest nobody is thinking of that one time they beat a newb in Need for Speed Underground 2 or that sweet pass on Madden 06 they are thinking about all the good times they had on Halo 2. Halo 2 was that friend that was always there to comfort you through your worst days it made gamers all over the world dream of sitting on the main stage at a MLG event competing against teams like Final Boss and Str8 Rippin. For those lucky thousand that were there for the Halo 2 announcement where the Chief kicked a brute out of a ghost and when he was surrounded by elites weilding energy swords he primed a sticky and beat some ass you remember the awe you expierenced when your heard the shots of the greatest weapon ever designed being used.
I know this seemed more like a rant but like everyone I loved Halo 2 and seeing it go has created a void that nothing can ever fill. Week after week me and my friends stayed up all night playing Halo 2 eagerly awaiting the release of Halo 3.
With a somber heart and some watery eyes I say goodbye to Halo 2 and thanks for the memories.
