Dear Humanity, we regret being Alien Bastards, we regret coming to earth, and most certainly regret that the corps just blew up our raggedy ass fleet! HOORAH!
I got Halo 2 day of release 2004, a magical day. My mom left it on my bed when I came home from school. I shed a tear; then I launched it on my original xbox and that guitar damn near made my soul leave my body. I had a girlfriend at the time and I completely forgot about her for 3 days.
All of console gaming, and possibly all of gaming as a unified whole, peaked with Halo 2. The entire US economy took a hit and a notable dip was seen the day of Halo 2's launch. No other game in history has ever recorded such a feat. For anyone who was never around for midnight releases, taking time off work for days after a game launched. Waiting in line at a Gamestop to get your preordered copy, reveling in the hype with those around you waiting in line with baited breath. I genuinely feel sorry for those people from the bottom of my heart. Those who were there and partook in it, who reveled in it, you know what I'm talking about. Gaming has not been the same since then. Gaming can be good, but it will never be that level of hype ever again.
Master Chief - "Sir, permission to leave the ship" Lord Hood- "For what purpose Master Chief?" Master Chief - "To give the covenant back their bomb." Halo 2 was just soooo good.

Tears come to my eyes on how well executed this game was. The campaign, the multiplayer, the hype, everything truly meet all expectations... Only limited by it's time.
Apparently modders hate it because it is held together by duck tape and gum, but the code still somehow works lol. Absolute chad of a game though. Edit: typo
Gaming as a whole peaked with Halo 2. Even as a Counterstrike 1.6 diehard in my day, I respectfully admit that my game of choice, while king for a time, was rightfully replaced.
The 98th Maple I could have said Trump supporters. I only said CoD because there is always a big debate between the "best" FPS and is always CoD and Halo fanboys at the end of the day.
Still makes me tear up when I listen to this, longing for days that are long gone and won't come back due to pandering to Non fans so much, not caring about the lore and prioritizing money over a quality game. Nostalgia is what it is because of how good we had it. RIP Halo, Chief, Arbiter, Cortana, Johnson, Six and that marine on H2 that I wouldn't let die in Metropolis when driving the tank.
No matter what platform anyone plays on everyone recognizes this theme simply because its wonderfully made and honestly no game has been able to duplicate it in all its entirety
Game's Like Halo Are Called Colorado Columbine Game's Due To Them Being Like Doom That Damn Fox News Blaming Video Game's Since 2000 And 2010s For Violence In The Real World
I don't know if that was a sentence or what but it was super cool that it had no commas or anything because Halo is amazing and periods and punctuation dont matter
God: creates humans Humans: create Xbox Xbox team and bungie: create halo Jesus and god playing two player split screen in heaven: we made the right choice.
I remember when I was a kid, I would go over to my friend's house just to play Halo CE and Halo 2. I was a Playstation 2 kid back then, but Halo was always amazing! Even now in High School, in our computer classes, someone got Halo Combat Evolved on all the PC's like two years ago, and we would have these huge matches of Halo during my freshman year. Now, me being a junior, the community has died down drastically, people just wanna play simple games on the computers which boggles my mind to this day! I think Halo will always hold a special place in my childhood, even though I suck on console, I'm much better on PC, haha!
Had NO idea that this was played by Steve Vai, but now that you hear it back again you can make out the unique features that Vai has in his guitar playing
The mix of an amazing orchestra and some genius going fucking insane on the guitar made this song, and thus the game, one of the best game soundtracks ever
@@seanwink2379 finally someone knows the genius behind the guitar, that dive bomb at the beginning tho. Guarantee Steve Vai was humping his guitar like he always does.

There's a single part of this song that makes me hate it with every fibre of my being, and fills me with merciless rage whenever it happens. I can't stand it. 4:12.
Damn I remember the Bungie logo coming up at start up and the guitar going off. That's when I knew Bungie wasn't fucking around this was the game. The Daddy of console multiplayer coupled with an epic single player. Fuck I miss the days when Halo was badass and not catered to kiddies like it is today.
Omfg That was the shit. I remember the first time I played this game. I had halo 1 on my xbox but I was saving up to get 2 it had just came out. I went over to my friends house and he had it and my jaw hit the ground. I started playing and almost fucking died because of how amazing it is. The best memory was seeing the bungie logo and the theme play. Good times.
+Max Huff If you have an Xbox One you can get the Master Chief Collection and play it on there. It's remastered, however you can easily switch the graphics out for the original ones if you want. But I feel your pain. I have an original Xbox however mine has a broken DVD-ROM drive, so I can't play anything on it.
lest we remember, no DLC, updates, or microtransactions edit: i see my mistake, mustve been because i never bought them, i apologize to everyone who thought i lied, its just been such a long time, as well as me intending this to be a time before dlcs and microtransactions
GAEM Stuff, Halo 2 did have DLC, but they never made it free. It still sits around $10 - $30 depending on where you live (I live in Australia so it sits around the $25 mark.)
Definitely the most badass version of the halo theme, and the best online multiplayer of the original Xbox! The ending to this song gives me chills every time I hear it!
***** Well, I think multiplayer improves with each game, but in my opinion Halo 2 has the best storyline and soundtrack in the series. That said, Halo 2 also had amazing graphics and multiplayer for its time.
I swear this theme brings a tear to my eye. 14 years later and this will always take me right back to those days of glory. I miss the old days. We made xbox live what it is today.
To this day, no video game OST track has EVER hyped me up as much as this track hyped up 14 year old me. Can't believe this game turns 15 this year. Insanity. And I still find myself coming back to listen to it randomly.
Playing this all the time with my dad and siblings back in 2012, still playing it from time to time with friends, so much nostalgia, would sometimes let out a tear or two
+TheDarkermanzz I don't know how he got it. All I know is I was playing the level, this theme kicked and I was like "WTF is going on" and he told me it was his tank theme
benjamin woodrow Steve Vai composed the guitar part pretty much on the spot. There’s a video on the channel of the actual composer showing their work with Steve.
+Stricken4Pot well not to all the fucking cod fanboys. Halo just feels more and more like its drifting from its old awesome tanky feel, to dying from 3 smg rounds....... Am i the only one who's noticed that with each game its taking less and less to be killed in multiplayer? also i LOVE Halo but..... it shouldn't be dragged on with 5. Plus the whole "now every gun has holo sights" kinda bugs me.
Four Swords get outta here, for as good as tf2 is, it doesn't even have a single player mode that's anything close to a campaign (i know there are bots that you can play against, & i know there are the comics to explain the story of tf2, but the former just isn't as good as the rest of the game) & a team in just about any halo game is less likely to be full of brainless morons than in tf2 (& besides. gun mettle. tf2.gamebanana.com/sounds/27769)
Halo 2 had the BEST INTRO. Ngl hearing this reminds me of being a 6-7 yr old kid wanting to do nothing other than play split screen with my family. Core memories for me
This was probably my first Halo game...memories of me using the SMG.....me getting killed by Hunters and Wraiths.....Jackal Snipers barely killing me when I play either on Normal or Easy.....I remember using the Enemies weapons.....killing marines for some reason.....the Energy Sword.....the Beam rifle....I wish I could go back in time, and do all those things again. I fricking loved this game. So many childhood memories!

Motocross you obviously have not played halo 2 when it first came out. I would pay $60 to have halo 2 for xbox one without any improvements at all. It was truly a awesome game, and to be able to relive it with the amazing graphics on xbox one will bring back that experience.
Still playing games in 2018 but nothing beats this legendary guitar.
STEVE VAI PLAYED THIS GUITAR SOLO WHAT THE FUCK

Halo 2 has to be THE BEST HALO AND SHOOTER GAME EVER!!!!
Right !!!!!! I played the shit out of this game and I was six now I'm 14 but I miss a the shit out of this game the story was so epic
+Sweg Boy I JUST beat this game! I am currently going to buy the MCC later today.
I don't have a NORMAL XBOX ANYMORE so I can't play it; (
+Max Huff If you have an Xbox One you can get the Master Chief Collection and play it on there. It's remastered, however you can easily switch the graphics out for the original ones if you want.
But I feel your pain. I have an original Xbox however mine has a broken DVD-ROM drive, so I can't play anything on it.
+Jack Stavris awwww mmmaaannn
Who else is here from the new footage released from Martin O'Donnell?
Guitarist6494 had to do it

can't belive I never put that together with Steve vai until now can so tell
This theme tune literally makes me cry,
Memories my fellow Spartans, Memories.
lest we remember, no DLC, updates, or microtransactions
edit: i see my mistake, mustve been because i never bought them, i apologize to everyone who thought i lied, its just been such a long time, as well as me intending this to be a time before dlcs and microtransactions
You must be to young and lying to everyone, almost every multiplayer game on the original Xbox had updates. How else would they fix bugs, mate.
Halo 2 had updates and an expansion, but hey 1 outta 3 ain't bad. 🤷♂️
Worldwide Wyatt,
Mmmmmyeesss? You spoke my name?
It did have DLC, but they made it free like a month later. Beautiful.
GAEM Stuff,
Halo 2 did have DLC, but they never made it free. It still sits around $10 - $30 depending on where you live (I live in Australia so it sits around the $25 mark.)
Definitely the most badass version of the halo theme, and the best online multiplayer of the original Xbox! The ending to this song gives me chills every time I hear it!
They sure as hell did
So true idk why it does but it does give you goosebumps
AWESOME........
plasma/smg was so op online
Checkout Lyndsey Stirlings take on the Halo theme tune it kicks ass!!!!!!
I could crap with this song on and it will still be epic
Images...
Please playing this when eating and sleeping what now?!
I was taking a shit while listening. And yes it was Epic!
it would he though
Me rn
Doom: *Heavy metal starts*
Halo: *Aetherial rock music starts*
Doom: Aight, ima head out. *heavy metal stops*
Just mix both
I close my eyes expecting an epic song and the Mr. clean advert comes on XD
like si lo ves en el 4567
Lol
You got more than you asked for I guess
Best Halo game.
***** Well, I think multiplayer improves with each game, but in my opinion Halo 2 has the best storyline and soundtrack in the series. That said, Halo 2 also had amazing graphics and multiplayer for its time.
***** Had*R.I.P Halo 2 multiplayer

If you have read the books the Reach campaign made me want to commit suicide
uonadtehrrocks why?
uonadtehrrocks I know what you mean
COD: I'm way better than Halo
Halo: Hold my Beer.
COD became the same generic game every year with Ghosts and MW3. Halo at least made some effort with Halo 4. Pretty sad both games are dying out.
Just wait for halo infinite(:
Cod:modern warfare also looks good, but then again the entire videogame industry consist of greedy asshats
Halo *wasn’t* greedy. Key word “*wasn’t*”
@@mrzegermans5495 Halo is not dead only slumbering. CoD owes its creation to Halo and its fans.
16 years later, it still gets me.
3:29 I closed my eyes, heard the notes get higher, and as they started to peak I let out one tear. The good ol' days...
I swear this theme brings a tear to my eye. 14 years later and this will always take me right back to those days of glory. I miss the old days. We made xbox live what it is today.
To this day, no video game OST track has EVER hyped me up as much as this track hyped up 14 year old me.
Can't believe this game turns 15 this year. Insanity. And I still find myself coming back to listen to it randomly.
Playing this all the time with my dad and siblings back in 2012, still playing it from time to time with friends, so much nostalgia, would sometimes let out a tear or two
My friend has a Left 4 Dead mod that plays this in place of the Tank theme
Noice
That sounds interesting. Please tell me more.
Agreed, need a mod link or something.
+TheDarkermanzz I don't know how he got it. All I know is I was playing the level, this theme kicked and I was like "WTF is going on" and he told me it was his tank theme
ShaDHP23 But mods are different for everyone in L4D2, no? if I say install that mod, and play a game with ya, than you don't get that mod right?
Play this song over all your most badass moments. Then feel like a fucking god.
So very true
KS Numedia yas
like Battlefield 4 and Halo
You can play this while walking your Chihuahua and still feel badass. This song makes everything amazing
JAJAJAJAJAJA
THANK YOU STEVE VAI FOR WRITING THIS. THANK YOU ROCK AND METAL MUSIC FOR INSPIRING STEVE VAI
benjamin woodrow steve Vai is on the guitar
@@HarpoonTheWhaler yes I know that
benjamin woodrow Steve Vai composed the guitar part pretty much on the spot. There’s a video on the channel of the actual composer showing their work with Steve.
@@Daktyl198 yes I've seen it
Steve vai didnt even write this.. he just fucking played it.. just vibed it, free hand from his head
Imagine Covenant shaking in fear just from hearing this master piece
This song is not very good, not even awesome... IT'S LEGENDARY!!!!
Was that a pun?
+Ryan Sadauskis
Become Legend. >:)
You face rythm and sound that has never known defeat. This is music.
I was about to dog on you so hard for a sec
totally..it's just so damn epic
339 dislikes, haha, looks like cod fans remembered how good we use to kick ass when we had Bungie!
lol
true
true that
+Cheydan Mahz I like both Halo and Call of Duty. The only reason I have BO3 and not Halo 5 is because I don't like the newer Halos
Bungie still kicks ass! Master Chief vs. Some CoD Bitch
*MASTERPIECE*
The first kill, The first mission, Do you remember it now? Those were the best days of your life.
Halo is the GOD of multiplayer, it shall never be dethroned.
Stricken4Pot Its the God of campaign not multiplayer. Its campaign is just all too good for it to be overtaken by some silly multiplayer
+Stricken4Pot god of multiplayer AND story. and has kept that title since 2004. (almost lost it in 2012)
+Stricken4Pot well not to all the fucking cod fanboys. Halo just feels more and more like its drifting from its old awesome tanky feel, to dying from 3 smg rounds....... Am i the only one who's noticed that with each game its taking less and less to be killed in multiplayer? also i LOVE Halo but..... it shouldn't be dragged on with 5. Plus the whole "now every gun has holo sights" kinda bugs me.
+Stricken4Pot TF2 MASTER RACE
Four Swords
get outta here, for as good as tf2 is, it doesn't even have a single player mode that's anything close to a campaign (i know there are bots that you can play against, & i know there are the comics to explain the story of tf2, but the former just isn't as good as the rest of the game) & a team in just about any halo game is less likely to be full of brainless morons than in tf2 (& besides. gun mettle. tf2.gamebanana.com/sounds/27769)
Spartans never die, they're just missing in action.
I always tear up a little when I hear any of the Halo songs.
SAME OMG I DONT KNOW WHY THOUGH
Because it's really, really good.
I do too. Halo was the last thing I played with my brother before I lost him.
Chills down my spine. :)
Raptorclaw62 halo is the best thing to do with your bro my childhood is filled with halo with my bro
Halo 2 had the BEST INTRO. Ngl hearing this reminds me of being a 6-7 yr old kid wanting to do nothing other than play split screen with my family. Core memories for me
This was probably my first Halo game...memories of me using the SMG.....me getting killed by Hunters and Wraiths.....Jackal Snipers barely killing me when I play either on Normal or Easy.....I remember using the Enemies weapons.....killing marines for some reason.....the Energy Sword.....the Beam rifle....I wish I could go back in time, and do all those things again.
I fricking loved this game.
So many childhood memories!
Try getting HALO master chief collection on XBOX it has Reach,C.E,2,3,3odst,4. So get a Xbox and get M.C.C. You’re welcome to
I always killed the marine in halo ce for his sniper
Im literally crying from nostalgia listening to this
That guitar riff around 1:50 hit me right in the soul man
Gets me hyped every time, timeless masterpiece.
Halo and electric guitar.
YES

Motocross you obviously have not played halo 2 when it first came out. I would pay $60 to have halo 2 for xbox one without any improvements at all. It was truly a awesome game, and to be able to relive it with the amazing graphics on xbox one will bring back that experience.
does anybody know if things like Double Shot/Super Jumps/BXR will still be there I highly doubt it but God damn that would be awesome
Josh Tongate Yeah all the glitches in the game are included.
***** PC Master Race?
fuck how long has it been since this game came out? man time sure does hella fly. I miss it so much
Lane D about 2002
Sly But High Halo 2 was released in 2004
Lane D it was the best game EVER!!
This is truly the anthem of gaming
