As a Halo fan, I was very impressed with how the story took a turn in Halo 2, to tell the tale from the Covenant side of things. I mean, I think almost everyone expected it to be a full-on story about Master Chief taking the fight to Earth and repelling the Covenant but it wasn't. It was so much more bigger and beautiful than that.
Gamers simply weren't ready for this wonderful choice in 2004. This choice pays off so hard in the end and it made Halo 3's interactions so fucking dope. god bless the creative team for going this route, prolly one of my favorite areas of fiction in the Halo universe.
This is the game that made me fall in love with elites. Thanks to the arbitor and the way bungie made the elites in halo 2. Man what a epic era halo 2 had. I would not be surprised if they re released Halo 2 online on the 360 with all the features that an xbox 360 halo title would have. Even if they don't do that i'll be koo with it becaue i also own Halo2 on the PC.
Have to Say, The Character Animations in Halo 1/2/3, and the Sheer Awesomeness of these games, Was Light Years and Legions Ahead of Anything, Even compared to games Now Adays.
Watching old videos in prep for Halo Infinite at E3. I am sad these devs did so much crunch, but man... I gotta say... Halo 2 is peak Halo for me. I adore it to this day ❤❤❤
one of the only games that have really changed my life and made it better. OH OH who remembers this" we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to earth, and we regret THE CORE JUST BLEW UP ARE RAGGEDY ASS FLEET! LETS HERE IT PEOPLE !!!HOORAH!!! best game quote ever period.
i hope reach brings back honor guards.... i really miss them, i made an honor guard model for a multimedia class... havent decided what to do with it, movie or game....
@michaeltaker There is story in the games. It just goes so much more in depth in the books. So when you read the books, you're like "wow, there's like hardly any story in the games"
@IX10510IX Ok I think the main problem was despite it being a more human story, the Arbiter really could've had some more of that spotlight. Halo 3 did have some great set pieces though such as the Hornet vs Banshee Dogfight as well the Scarab Battle at the Citadel but Halo 2 had the better story overall. Still though Halo 3 did have a good ending.
I couldn't stand not being able to play halo 2 on xbox so I bought myself the game for pc. Regardless, Halo 2 on xbox is irreplaceable. Ill definetly miss it D;
couldn't Bungie do a sequel of halo 1 (mac), CE and halo 2, to the 360, but without changing the way the story unfolds, so it would be the same game but with halo 3 or higher graphic. keep a low res multiplayer in the halo 2 sequel, don't change the Mark V in halo CE and so on. Do the same games, but upgraded to fit the 360.
halo 2 was frekn awesome but halo 3 and hopefully halo reach are better in almost every way... its not better where it takes 2 beatdowns to kill its not better for bullets... in halo 3 atleast i hate getting bloodshots and halo 2 campaign was god.... halo 3 is awesome and fixed almost all the problems in halo 2 multiplayer... keep up the good workguys
don't be sad people, Halo 2 may have left XBOX live, but there's still the goold ol' split screen and system link games to have fun headhsotting and teabagging
No, he got what I did at the ending wrong. I didn't put the controller down and go "That was Awesome" I saw the last cut scene and was like "WTF IS THIS!!!"
@Halo3Linkinpark1 Storyline and campaign was a darn bit better in halo 2 but multiplayer I didn't experience much of halo 2 but I think I prefer halo 3
@roeas29 Halo has the greatest story ever. But like you said you can ignore it. That's why it's so great. You can play for the story or just, when you feel like, shoot a ton of stuff!! End of the day. HALO PWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want Bungie back, my childhood is filled with Halo 2 memories and I want them back.

"Doesn't even get the girl, he's that cool. He don't need her."
Great advice! Thanks for the added inspiration!

@ShadowstepSH
I cannot agree more. Halo 2 brought me the best memories of overnight LAN parties and a story completely unparalelled by ANY other game.
my fondest memories were system link parties with halo 2, those were the days.

Order of sick ass Halo games: (reserved for) Halo Reach Halo 2 Halo CE Halo ODST Halo 3
WHAT!!! BRUTES ON ZANZIBAR!! lol that would have been epic to be able to use the brutes as a multiplayer character.
I would love to live in that type of universe!!!
they made this video when they had an earlier build of the game, there are a lot of glitches and differences. I saw some scenes of the demo too
man, it's been a while.
Even with one shot burst at 4:00 , its sounds awesome !!!
i hope reach brings back honor guards.... i really miss them, i made an honor guard model for a multimedia class... havent decided what to do with it, movie or game....
this is off the Halo 2 Limited Editon DVD...

@Kulopto
all xbox live support for original xbox games is going down so they've been doing a bunch of stuff for halo 2
Ah, Halo 2... missing the epic vibe and twists that it brought to the fantastic universe of Halo.
i'll miss the epic 8 on 8 battles on coagulation, with tanks and warthogs, and ghosts.
@IrisWatcher Yeah I saw that too, hilarious. It had to have been right in the early alpha build stages too.

I never cared much of the Halo story. The tight design of the gameplay won me over.
So right, comrade! So right!
Halo 2 , greatest game ever.
why does the halo 2 sword look better than the halo reach sword? =/
hey did the "Old Flash? Go Upgrade!" pop up on any body elses screen when u go on utube vids
i remember the first time i saw this good times!!!!
@roeas29 there isn't any story on the games... where the story really gets you is in each and every book
I couldn't stand not being able to play halo 2 on xbox so I bought myself the game for pc. Regardless, Halo 2 on xbox is irreplaceable. Ill definetly miss it D;
@cMARVEL360 dude, there should be a petition for microsoft (or Bungie) to re-release halo 2 online on 360..
02:44 the resemblance is uncanny!
What's the names of the last two songs in this video? I'm not sure on what they're called.
lol 2:32 the brutes are rising up in the air XD
couldn't Bungie do a sequel of halo 1 (mac), CE and halo 2, to the 360, but without changing the way the story unfolds, so it would be the same game but with halo 3 or higher graphic. keep a low res multiplayer in the halo 2 sequel, don't change the Mark V in halo CE and so on. Do the same games, but upgraded to fit the 360.
halo 2 was frekn awesome but halo 3 and hopefully halo reach are better in almost every way... its not better where it takes 2 beatdowns to kill its not better for bullets... in halo 3 atleast i hate getting bloodshots and halo 2 campaign was god.... halo 3 is awesome and fixed almost all the problems in halo 2 multiplayer... keep up the good workguys
marcus lehto looks cool in this vid! lol
@BatDude27 i dont think it even works on 360 anymore. maybe it was just the multiplayer and campaign still works but idk
okay some of the animations they had for the brute- why didnt they put all of those in? i mean come on that woulda been awesome to play with
hahahahahahahhaahahahhahaha pause at 2:32 and look in the background. The brutes are floating away loolololol.
@Kulopto it's to honour the game since it's pretty much dead since backwards compatibility was turned off yesterday
So when does this game come out?? =p
I love you halo!
They have the halo 2 limited addition disc and halo 3 and I have it
good old days :)
@TheHaddockbanker
Yeah, it felt like that...
love halo 2
don't be sad people, Halo 2 may have left XBOX live, but there's still the goold ol' split screen and system link games to have fun headhsotting and teabagging
I'm shocked that bungie only has 30,000 subscribers..wtf
@IrisWatcher nice
*sigh* i'm gonna go play h2's campaign now.
No, he got what I did at the ending wrong. I didn't put the controller down and go "That was Awesome" I saw the last cut scene and was like "WTF IS THIS!!!"
Making MC less robotic also was a mistake, he became less cool aswell. I don't wanna play average human joe, I want to place CE Killermachine Chief
arby rocks!
:)

The only reason I bought halo 2 was because of this vid. I was getting bored with halo 1
@KING7540 it did and i did the upgrade thing but it still dont work
"A true more animalistic charakter" So that's why the elites became *bleh*.
Wtf? 2:32 floating Honor Guards?
