…or 8 years, 4 months, and 20 days ago.
It feels like just yesterday me and my buddies were split-screening/system linking FFA games for the first time. It feels like I just crossed the bridge in the tank. It feels like I just dominated Tartarus. It sure doesn’t feel like all of this was 3062 days ago. Halo 2 is the only game to date that I get all these wonderful nostalgic feelings for. I rarely think about the other games. Halo 2 holds a special place in my heart.
Does it feel likes it has been this long to anyone else?

Yes it does feel like it
But I still remember Every Cutscene, mission and map and can Talk the Script in my head

That’s not creepy at all.

I don’t have the voice for any of the Characters. Especially the Gravemind
running actual gameplay from the time through my mind and remembering it perfectly makes it seem not too long ago
playing it on xbc nowadays probably helps that though along with still hanging out with some of my best friends from that time
but when i look back through old games on bnet it makes me realize how long ago it really was when i see major clan matches with 7 other people i used to talk to every day but haven’t in 6-7 years
and then i realize how long it’s been since i touched an original xbox

I should probably reword it. To me it feels fresh like it just happened yesterday, but at the same time it feels like it’s been forever since I enjoyed my time on Halo 2 XBL. With every day that passes not having Halo 2 playable on XBL and not talking to most of my old Halo 2 buddies makes it feel so long ago.
I love Halo 2. I think the sense of PLACE was the strongest in it.

Also, Jason Jones just quit Bungie.

That was an April fools joke.
OT, I still feel like it was yesterday when that main theme played through my head.
I could probably go through every single quote from the game without fail if someone asked me to (don’t ask me to, I’d rather not be proven wrong.)
There’s just something about Halo 2, from the music to the architecture, to just this vast world that I really felt apart of.
It doesn’t feel like it’s been 8 years since I superbounced onto the top of lockout, or monsterbounced to the crane on Headlong. It doesn’t feel like 8 year since my brother screen peeked and beat me on snipers coagulation.
It doesn’t feel like 8 years since a game that holds so much nostalgic impact on me came out.
Next you’ll be telling me that Star Wars Battlefront II game out 7 1/2 years ago, or that Star Wars Jedi Knights: Academy came out 9 1/2 years ago.
It doesn’t feel like it man. It feels like it was just yesterday.
I don’t think any game will ever hold as much of a strong place in my heart as Halo 2 does, and always will.
Wow. Been 7 1/2 years since the release of Battlefront II already? I still have the first Battlefront, with not a single scratch on the disc. My favorite quote in 2 is probably “If they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed.” 2004 was a good year.
Halo: CE holds that honor for me. My friends and I would call it a time travel machine, becuase you would start playing at 9:30 p.m., then the next thing you realize it is 5 in the morning
It does and it doesn’t.
So much has happened since those days that it feels like another life ago. AT the same time I still think back all the time to those amazing days…
I still have a Halo 2 poster hanging in my room that I got for Christmas in 2004 and I see it everyday and remember the best part of my life and that while it might be gone nothing can change how great those times were how close it brought me with my friends, all the memories created. I still miss Halo 2 everyday even though it has been so long. They say time heals all wounds but I’m still not healed from the harsh reality that the Halo 2 days are over. Best Damn Game Ever…
