Fourteen Halo 2 Fans Refuse to Let It Die

• BobYoMeowMeow wrote on 2010-04-28 02:28

  Throughout the past week, a small group of dedicated Halo 2 players kept their Xbox's on so that they could enjoy the game for a while longer. (As long as we don't turn off our Xbox's, or lose connection, we can stay online. Our Xbox's have been on for nearly 13 days straight) Each day the amount of people decreased, at a rapid rate.
  
  A lot of us became really good friends, and it's almost like we're family now.
  For a while, we had 'T0 Be Continued' Live streaming all of our games, until her Xbox regrettably froze while playing custom games. Then, 'Mr7ankjump' did a live stream, but he lagged out only 4 hours later.
  
  There is still a Live stream that is sometimes going on throughout the day.
  
  Z0mbie Stench's Live Stream
  Though it is recorded through a web cam, it is the best she could do.
  
  xxBooker Dxx's Live stream
  If he can figure out how to get his capture card to work, this live stream may be up later, also.
  
  We will keep playing until we are all forcibly removed. It could be by Microsoft, Bungie, our Xbox's overheating, or just lagging out. Not for competition, not for a prize, but for the love, and memory of Halo 2.
  
  I want to thank everyone that I've played with in the past few days, this is by far my favorite memory in all my gaming history.
  
  Right now there are only 14 players online, here is a list of our names:
  Agent Windex
  APACHE N4SIR
  sherlok 1
  SieferSword
  Rob2D
  Detenn
  z0mbie stench
  Lord Odysseus11
  xxMAKDADYxx
  H2o Shoagie
  xxBooker Dxx
  DirtyCajun
  AForeignObject
  HiredN00bs

  I heard about this already...
  
  o.O
  
  Good to see they're still going.

  How do I feel about them hmm..
  A simultaneous emotion of deep respect, deep empathy, and deep pity, + some obnoxious thoughts about how they should just move on already.

  I wouldn't be surprised if after all of this that they despised Halo 2.
  
  "OMG REACH?! IT'S TOO SOOOOOOOOOOON!"

  This is actually pretty awesome.
  Lot's of respect to those guys still hanging in there (I think it was down to 14 now?). As for the thing about them being kids....nah. I remember seeing a post in the thread about one going out to buy an XBox just to jump in on the last few hours because his old one was out for repairs. What kinda kid has that sort of cash lying about. They've had the consoles on for almost 2 weeks now. These are adults who go on with their lives and come home at the end of the day for some matches in their favorite game.

  Respect. I never cared too much for Halo 2, but the dedication earns my respect.
  
  If only it was the same for Timesplitters: Future Perfect. ._.

  You calling me a kid? :[
  
  I loved Halo 1, Halo 2 looked bad so I didn't get it, Halo 3 is just okay, Halo ODST Ripped me off, Halo Reach would problably rip me off too. They should've stopped at halo 1 imo. Though it would be awesome if they remade Halo 1 into a HD version...

  Word of this is spreading fast.
  Tons of websites are writing articles about this (including Kotaku and IGN). There's also tons of people following the live stream. Go final few go! xD

  Halo 2 was a great game. It's sad to see it go. ;-;
