Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!


Today is November 9th and on this day 10 years ago Halo 2 was released. On that same day, I experienced Halo for the first time ever. Halo 2 is my favorite Halo and I'm going to tell you why:

I was in 3rd grade at the time. My teacher was a huge Halo fan and he even went to the midnight release of Halo 2. He brought his Xbox and Halo 2 the day it came out and he played through some of the campaign in class. I remember him going through Cairo Station, Outskirts, Metropolis, and The Arbiter. The part that really got me interested into Halo was when he was playing Outskirts and Metropolis. I just fell in love with the game because I had never seen a game like Halo 2. It looked cool, the soundtrack gave me goosebumps, and it was awesome.

Later that day he let some of the students play the multiplayer. He let me play and I was so excited, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I still had a blast using all the weapons and feeling like a badass. The day ended and as soon as I got home from school I told my parents about what happened. I told them I wanted an Xbox and Halo 2 for my birthday which is in January. My dad said "I'll think about it." I couldn't wait until my birthday.

January came and I got what I asked for, an Xbox and Halo 2 which still both work to this day. My brother and I plugged in the Xbox and played Halo 2 co-op for hours. We were glued to the screen until like 9pm until my mom told me to go to bed. It was literally one of the best times I had playing a video game. The next day at school was the longest day of my life. I just wanted to go home and play Halo 2. I would always talk about Halo 2 with my friends and teacher at school.

And here I am, 10 years later still playing Halo and talking about it. If I didn't have that teacher for 3rd grade I don't think I would ever gotten into gaming as much as I am now or even gotten into Halo. Hell, I don't think I would even be here posting this if it wasn't for him.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
I discovered the Halo series by playing a cracked version (Burnt copy) of Halo 1 on PC. Fell in love and somehow for Christmas, we ended up with an Xbox and Halo 2. xD.

I'm surprised your teacher didn't get in trouble for that. M rated game with weapons in school.. Back then I guess was a less anal time for us all.

I remember when the trailers for Halo 2 were on TV, I was excited as fuck. The first time playing through the campaign was insane. I did not have XBL until 2006, but after I got it, I played Halo 2 multiplayer almost every day.

Ya, a lot. I was never a pro, but I was not completely awful either. Everyone has amazing and shitty games.
I remember for Halo 3 I was decent at it then one day I just got shitty.

I actually never played Halo 2 and didn't care at all for gaming. 07/08 was when I got a 360 and got into halo when Reach came out. So I'm really excited to play H2 on Trusday
