This is a gem. I'm envious of the fact that you actually have footage like this of you and friends playing Halo 2 on the original Xbox. I wish I had recorded me and my buddies on the game back in the day so I could relive those memories again...
same... I didn't have a good enough internet/computer to record (not to mention ability to even record console) until way later. Like 2017 after I stopped playing with friends.
@@ken34ima sound like a fuckin telemarketer, but if you have the ogx and a headset now, you can mod it to run insignia (xbox live 1.0 revival, has halo 2) or if you dont want to mod theres xlink kai which uses system link
"those people that you think are your friends are actually adults who want to kidnap you and they will somehow be able to find you when you talk into your headset." -"overprotective mother" on "buying a headset for her 12 year old son"
Back when Microsoft and Bungie were unstoppable and console networking was at its infancy. This was uncharted territory for me back then, and it was thrilling beyond belief to be able to play and talk with people across the world
bungie literally invented matchmaking and revolutionized console online multiplayer with halo 2, I don't think the game gets enough credit for the legacy it's left behind. every year history is more and more kind to it.
The compressed game chat audio really adds a charm that is very difficult to replicate (especially with the high bitrate audio we have now) and makes me wish I played Halo 2 back in the day, even though I wasn't around for very long. I did play Halo 3 and Reach online in around 2014 and up, though!
I treasure these days. So much fun! I see you've been playing PoE, that's awesome. Lately I've been playing Overwatch and Persona 5. Hope you're doing well Ken
I remember these days at the time we couldn't afford a Xbox or live but I remember going to my cousin's house who had all the game systems and we would play this dope ass game !!
I wish i could go back to my childhood when there is no Internet, no social media, no phones, Simple days and funs with my friends PC and physical dvds of games
The company that took over the halo franchise should either; 1. remake all, or a lot of the halo 2 maps for Reach 2. make a "cheap" downloadable port to the 360 that allows for online gameplay through 360 live or 3. Heavily market halo 2 vista to get more people to buy that(I know that was a different company, but it still has online play) -And for those who would bitch about how they don't want vista or 7, buy 2 Gb of RAM and upgrade, it's really not that bad.
same thing happened to me!!!! go to the dashboard with halo 2 not in the console and change your settings. it will say something like blocked or something. anyway, it happened to me yesterday!! email me for more information!
can someone with xbox live on their original xbox tellme how i can get it for my original xbox crystal!? please, i really want xbox live! izit easy to get it for the original xbox?
I had a capture card for my pc, it.connected internally through pci. On the back of the card was a/v(red, white, yellow) and a coaxial hook up. I couldn't just hook the Xbox up to the card tho, cause there was a huge delay when recording on the pc. So I had to buy an a/v splitter. Ran the TV and the Xbox to the splitter, then hook the splitter up to the pc capture card. So yea. A little complex lol.
Y are people hating on halo reach. It was actually good and gave new meaning to spartan super soldier. Before reach, all you could do was duel weapons, board enemy vehicles and the only thing keeping you alive were your shields. In reach you have abilities assassinations, and customize your spartan for the campaign. I say halo reach is one of the best halo games and all of them are the best except halo wars.

@@LunatikLucas2024 thanks for the info!
Woow amazing footage from back then, with a pretty good recording quality for the time it was made. Always appreciate those old online gameplays
I miss this game. This Halo 2 Xbox Live Veteran really wants to cry, but is trying not to
I wish i could meet all these legends and give them a big ole hug for making lifetime memories. I wonder what everyone here is up to now in life.❤
Please never delete this. Pure nostalgia. :)

Brings me back to the days when we would buy brick weed and play 4 players on my friend's crt tv.
Are you still a drug addict to this day?
Xbox Live thrived on what Halo 2 was back in the day. It was the only reason people would get Xbox Live.
That H2 SMG sound is music to my ears.
April 15, 2010
Xbox Live will never be the same....
And it was never the same....
You have been chosen by the algorithm gods
Brings back so many memories.

Actually yeah tomorrow in fact they just announced it on Twitter for insignia!
man this video is almost as old as me. started playing halo at 4 years old, when reach came out. good times.
I was in high school when reach came out. I went to the midnight release for it. They don't have midnight releases anymore
@@Mike-no6ii it's sad honestly
@@Kuuvr It is sad
It’s 2024, welcome back soldier

I love the Halo 2 SMG's to bad they do not have them in Halo Reach if they did that would be epic.

The company that took over the halo franchise should either;
1. remake all, or a lot of the halo 2 maps for Reach
2. make a "cheap" downloadable port to the 360 that allows for online gameplay through 360 live
or

Microsoft was going to turn Live off in around 2007, but some guy left their Xbox on until 2011 when he had a power
Davey Dodge
They turned off Original Live in April of 2010.
@frogsby1 The new Anniversary multipleyer kicks ass, go play that
can you play halo 2 on the 360?
How did you record like this? For it’s time it must’ve been complex? Nobody was really able to record through screen capture how did you do so?
I had a capture card for my pc, it.connected internally through pci. On the back of the card was a/v(red, white, yellow) and a coaxial hook up. I couldn't just hook the Xbox up to the card tho, cause there was a huge delay when recording on the pc. So I had to buy an a/v splitter. Ran the TV and the Xbox to the splitter, then hook the splitter up to the pc capture card. So yea. A little complex lol.
@killerlol666 go to gamestop and ask if they have any regular xbox live membership cards
What arena is that?
