Tonight the second of three November birthday’s occurs. And with each year I do this I run out of ideas 
Halo 2…good ole Halo 2! I vaguely remember its launch. I don’t remember it exactly, but I do believe I first played it shorty after, or on launch day, at a winter retreat with my church while in youth group. These were the days were I was becoming a fan. And it was around this time I started my Halo journey, one that I will never forget. Or, it was in 2003, 04 or 05 lul. While I’ve not played it for thirteen years, I’ve greatly enjoyed it through all the multiplayer thrashing that’s been done to me and giving “the Covenant back their bomb”. Halo 2 and CE are my worse multiplayers in the series. I’m garbage 
Whatever! Bungie birthed a masterpiece sequel, my #2 all time favorite game and one of three games I score a perfect 10/10, the other two being Halo 3 and The Last of Us.
Thanks 343 for the outstanding Anniversary campaign (multiplayer…meh), for Certain Affinity and Saber Interactive for largely contributing, and to Blur for the absolute best CGI cinematics I’ve ever seen in a game…yet.
Edit: How could I forget? Halo 2 was the biggest reason for Xbox LIVE becoming successful back then.
