Why is Halo 2 on Xbox Live so addictive? Why does going from 26 to 27 feel so good? When the latency is behaving itself I really enjoy the game, it rewards you in so many ways, the satisfying thud of an enemy falling to his knees, the scream as you ambush a guy and slice him through with the Sword, the sweet glory of victory, caving a guys face in then arming your bomb in the dying seconds of a game… But other times players can just look in my general direction and I die in micro-seconds. Such is the nature of the beast I guess.
I’m so proud of Random Fury, my Halo 2 Clan, and all the guys that are happy to be part of it. What started as a random idea soon blossomed into a 60-strong team of passionate individuals, all ready to play Halo 2 to make our collective 29 become a 30. I’ll definitely look back in ten years on the time I spent playing Halo 2 every night with great fondness.
