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
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
"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"
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 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
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 !!
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?
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.
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.
use xlink u can play online game using system link. xlink connects u to the internet but it tells ur xbox that every 1 is on ur LAN so u can play with them in sytem link its really fun its like the private server games that u get on pc games but on xbox. u need to connect ur xbox to a computer using ethernet and bridge ur internet connection to ur xbox connect on ur computer sign in join an arena in xlink and join a game :) needs more people so spread the word. look up "how to use xlink" 4 help
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!
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.
@TheParalyzer123 It was M$ decision. Bungie had no say in it what so ever. And the Xbox Live is being shut down for all Original Xbox 1 games. Not just Halo 2 My best guess is that M$ is not making enough money from the Original Xbox
well, for me yes JUST CUZ IM SO GOOD OMG lol haha well, ill tell you one thing, i see WAY more 50's now in halo 3 but i also see alot of noobs i guess to. not so many people in the middle anymore. in halo 2 a 40 is equivilant to a 50 i guess.
dude, people who play halo 3 arent noobs, halo 3 is great game, the noobs on halo 3 are the ones who skip halo 1 and 2 and just play 3 (those are the noobs) but otherwise there fine
hey every body! im going to get a game going on halo 2 for the 360! we are going to start on veterans day! and it is going to be on the map blood gultch (or that gay name they gave it) it starts at 3, pm and ends at midnight! so make sure your there! my gamertag is RawdogE7
the servers on the pc are still up. microsoft didn't want to keep spending money for the xbox servers so they shut them down. im sure bungie wanted to keep them up but financially could not. thats what i've heard at least....

agreed, these are moments i miss, really was the good ol days. i wish i recorded more honestly.

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.❤
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
Please never delete this. Pure nostalgia. :)
That H2 SMG sound is music to my ears.
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.

Halo 2? Halo is an awsome series, and have you seen the Red vs Blue series? Its Hilarious!!

Iconic I love this
this is the franchise that made so many people either buy a pc xbox or an xbox 360
turf,it's on the multiplayer map pack for halo 2
i hope halo2 is cool still too
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

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.
Este vídeo es una reliquia de RUclips
I love the Halo 2 SMG's to bad they do not have them in Halo Reach if they did that would be epic.
i use to make videos of halo 2 in 05
still works. Go buy an xbox live subsrciption card from your local gaming store and set it all up.
Yes
as fun as it was, I do NOT miss the VOIP compression and bad mics.

Coagulation is actually a joke off of Blood Gulch (its a medical name for blood)

Doing gods work out here. Yep.
yes you can. But after April 15, 2010 you can't play online because the servers will be shut down.
2:58 was almost a perfect backflip.
hi
Halo Reach is not pure garbage. it is pure awesome !
do a lot of people still play halo2 xbox live?
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.
