Halo 2 launched 18 years ago today

Halo 2 was HUGE when it came out

It easily had the GOAT multiplayer that was also revolutionary

I miss the days when Halo was a Cultural Phenomenon

MCC Halo 2 is still active in matchmaking, and there's always a swords and sniper game going on in the Custom Games Browser

Loved that multiplayer on Halo 2. Beaver Creek, Lockout, and Midship. Pure fire and mayhem.

I think it had to be 3. I worked at Circuit City at the time, and EVERYONE coming in the store on release day was there for that. Only thing that came close was the day Grand Theft Auto IV came out.

I was in middle school and had traded in my GameCube for an Xbox at GameCrazy like the week before. The hype for that game was like early 2000s 50 Cent level

The Halo 2 and 3 online experience was like nothing else.

So much shyt talking, saying shyt that would get us banned today and becoming online friends after a session.
