Why You Should Play Halo 2 on Insignia

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Here's a "quick vid" on how Halo 2 is pretty awesome on Insignia. I've always felt like the MCC version of Halo 2 was missing that touch the original game had and how many people never got to play it, but now we have the original game back and we can play it as an alternative to MCC. Huge shout out to the awesome folks at Insignia. 14 years in the making. My mouse made it into some of the clips in the beginning, sorry about that :(

I got it installed on my Xbox and got on OG H2 for the first time since like 2009. Was nice going back and seeing the old matchmaking UI and friends list. Wish it had more people on there though
Yeah bro its dope. Halo Classic Hub does gamenights on tuesdays and thursdays
Man I luv u pfp, Mastur Cheef
i picked up an xbox the other day and will be getting insignia/h2 by this weekend!!
Been playing Insignia alot, feels so good to hear and see the original sounds and menus again!
@@SquattingxBear Yessir its great
halo classic hub is good server for halo 2 insignia gamenights
Yess they’ve been knocking it out of the park
Used to create video content on Halo 2 back in the day in 2005-2006 era. I was in a clan called xXAnarchy06Xx and we made some sick videos. The vids are still on RUclips to this day!
@@RiverDemson Thats wassup mane
@@mmfood97 yeah big dawg. This was one of the last ones we made ruclips.net/video/qswXI4JMyF4/видео.htmlsi=2VcoCrmp7JZa0Gs2
The problem is that Social H2 on MCC can more often than not be like OG H2 Hardcore. The population is rather small and the skill gap is huge. So, I can see why it puts people off it on MCC.
Yep, they make me look like a noob at times.
The skill gap is absuuuuuurd. There's just not a way for someone like me to have anything resembling fun when you're just cannon fodder in every single game. Insignia I actually manage to be middle to top of the board most of the time, MCC I'm happy when I'm not dead last.
I can't git gud anymore. I'm too old. If I ever get time away from job/wife/kids to play Halo, it's nice to play with skill peers.
I'm 35 ,halo 2 was my first online game EVER and i spent thousands of hrs on it. 15/18 yrs old. Miss that days and that community so much
@@lucabossi7253 one of the greatest onlije games ever made imho
I'm in my mid 30's as well. I desperately wish my skills hadn't fallen off a cliff. I have the worst time with over corrections right now. Just can't dial in headshots like a used to.
I just saw abother video qbout the original Halo 2 multiplayer being back andnhaving ti get a midded Xbox to play it and it having the original net code. Its actually FASTER than MCC believe it or not, by a small but noticeable amount. And the whole "whoever shoots first usually wins" was omnipresent in 2004 up to the end. The solution was the BR as a weapon you had to find rather then start with (usually a pistol, plasma rifle, or SMG instead). Its also the reason they invented equipment for 3, to counter BR starts.
@@zalrohglekgolo6149 i dont think thats actually true. 343 themselves have been trying to patch MCC H2 to be more like the original game for a long time now. They patched BR to have a more delayed shooting a few years ago and more recently they dropped an update to make the tick rate feel the same as the original game. And no, whoever shoots first wins wasn’t all the rage, it was whoever has the best aim wins. Aiming in MCC is laser precise if you use mnk but in the original game you had to aim with a thumbstick with a BR that had slower projectile speeds. Yes halo 2 was fast, faster than halo 3 and reach, but nowhere near as fast as H2 on MCC
@@mmfood97 I'm not trying to be a dick, in the vidoc going over equipment for Halo 3 the devs refer to a school of thought during the launch of Halo 2 about how whoever shit first generally won the engagement, as they said equipment was mean to turn the tide of a gunfight in that specific instance. I was there on the forums talking about this when it was a thing.
I mean ultimately I don't have a horse in this race, but the other video I saw could have been lying but it too was made by someone who was there for it and spent years working with it.
@@zalrohglekgolo6149 Perhaps it was an argument back then but even so ive played Halo 2 on Insignia and have compared it to MCC and the original does feel easier to play and you have more leway in BR battles. Halo 2 was pretty fast and the BR was a bit overpowered so i can see it being a common complaint back then, but in comparison to MCC its really kind of a night and day difference that makes me appreciate the original more. Even if the engagements were considered too fast at the time I think they hold up pretty well in retrospect
Im so glad you've discussed the issues with MCC. Its weird seeing lots more people discussing these issues, as just a frw months ago, I felt like the odd man out who felt the OG games ran way better, as I would get people telling me "its the same game" or "it runs better on MCC", but now Ive noticed more and more the sentiment has changed, especially after the cheater situation in MCC has blown up the way it has. I dont have experience with halo 2, as I dont have an OG xbox, but given my experience with Halo 3, I knew halo 2 had issues too. Along with all the missing playlists as you brought up. It sucks, but thats why Im so glad we have communities like the insignia community and other revival projects. I hope to get an OG xbox soon, Im just a little tight on cash atm.
People will say its just nostalgia, but I didnt grow up with Halo and yet I can tell the OG games are better. I hope our community(ies) grow more and more! Long live classic Halo!

Jokes aside good video man!
Thank you bro
The latest interation of 343 guilty industries definately lacks that flavor or knack overall as well. I don't tolerate experiencing it. The gameplay vibe seems to be the player controlling a robot in a simulation. Of you drive a vehicle there is no weight whatsoever. Adapting to PC sort of gameplay was a huge mistake. It's insane how I get reactions of contempt when seeing the difference
Yes nothing beats the classic games
Well, the technical problem is the same in CE, 3 and Reach on MCC, the main reason why 2 is the least played is simply because its sandbox was broken from the start by the BR. Halo 3 is more popular with its far better balance and the sandbox overall feels like an upgrade to 2, while CE kept its fan base on PC for 20+ years with its smaller but perfectly well working sandbox, it's unique driving physics and unique vehicle warfare. With Reach being of course the most popular since it's the last Bungie Halo and the old Reach kids now starting to take over the big % of the fanbase from the 3 spilt fanbase since the old CE kids and old Halo 3 kids are at an age now where they are often just busy with other things in life.
What do you mean broken by the BR?
4:43 LOL @ the chat message
My problem with Insignia is I have a hard time getting matches, many of the supported games rarely If at all have anyone playing them, Halo 2 is the only one where I can get a match but it is often very difficult.
@@JHEntertainment98 yeah you have to coordinate matches with the insignia discord for the other insignia games. When halo 2 first came out, the population was thriving and healthy for about a week, then it quickly went down to like 30-50 daily players. My goal with this video was to get that playerbase to go up lol
MCC was dogshxt. "exactly as it shipped" my @ss. Was completely different.
The hit registration is off on MCC Halo 2, particularly with melee. The timing, even on hard wired LAN parties, is off.
And they have a ranked Hardcore playlist that MCC just removed out of the blue 😂
@@b3ndyplays dang i didn’t know that. I may have used a few of your clips. Hope it’s cool
@mmfood97 Oh I didn't even notice maybe I can find it lol! I don't mind but if you're growing your channel I definitely suggest a closing slide or adding in the description with all your references where you got clips from if they aren't your own - helps you and everyone grow their channels together! This is an awesome vid!
I tried Insignia a few months ago and it worked rather well with Star Wars BattleFront. One kicker: does voice chat work? I have a headset but no one was talking. Are Insignia folks using something else than the built in voice chat or is it not quite working yet?
Or maybe, people just shut up and play :-)
[as I have flashbacks to playing the Battlefield 2 demo back in the day and a bunch of tweens were arguing over bordering a helicopter. Last one got mad they couldn't get a seat and just blew up the chopper with a rocket]
@@pmode4 Yeah people do have headsets and talk, but most people use discord vc to communicate since everyone knows each other somewhat and its more convenient
Idk, there were countless unfair moments on the original halo 2 multiplayer
Is it worth buying the Original Xbox in 2024 just to play this game online in 2024? I know there's other games that's supported with insignia but it seems like Halo 2 is the only game to get players where all of the other supported insignia games gets 0 player's.
@@Austinredstoner I would say it is yeah. If you have a good hdmi adapter like xbox2hdmi it looks pretty good on modern TVs. Although i recommend using a monitor because the input lag can be disadvantageous on a TV. Alternately, you can try insignia through the XEMU emulator just to see what its all about, though there’s some big graphical glitches on there
i picked up an xbox the other day and will be getting insignia/h2 by this weekend!!
If you like single player or couch co-op/compete, OG Xbox still plays great. I played using an HDMI cable (by Pound I think....looked gorgeous) but now have gone retro with my S-Video CRT. Either way-many games look great even in this day and age.
HALO 3 IS PEAK HALO MF
Halo 3 is hot but Halo 2 was also great
2 over 3 any day lol.
Didn't play back in the day but I prefer it over 3 on mcc anyways@@bxbbxrrrx
Do many people play halo 2 on this? From the uk would the connection be passable?
There’s a good lot of UK people on the Insignia server but i believe most of the Halo 2 players are American. Im not sure how the connection would be but it doesn’t hurt to try
Loads of UK people on.
What is insignia

Just got my Xbox signed on last week. Just pray you're not on the same team as ONEMADFIDDLER, he's not the player he used to be.
@@Onemadfiddler lol you’ll get back there big bro
@@mmfood97 lol eeeh, I dunno. Highest I ever made it back in the old days was 28 or 29. Didn't have a clan or a mike so 16 year old me never found out about all the cool tricks like bxb
so sad i missed out on og halo
@@Mack-parks insignia is here to relive the good old days 😩
Ummm halo3 is the best multiplayer that’s how it happens
Pipe down junior
no halo 2 is the best >:(
gud vid
Thank you!
People should play all versions of Halo 2, as it's the best game in the series...
But your only reason was just the fact that you're bad at MCC H2?
@@bxbbxrrrx What about the menu? The clan system? People using voice chat? The in-game friends lists and messaging? The game mode and map diversity? I mention these things as well
