that had been mothballed in favor of raising kids these past 7 years (and a Wii for their enjoyment). In addition, I find a couple of lame games I had, but at the bottom of the box was HALO CE. “Wonder if it still works? Let’s see…”.
We have many Wii games (of which only Mario Cart is worth a try). However, Wii has been permanently mothballed in my mind. I enjoyed playing Halo so much in early December as well as 7 years ago, my wife went out and grabbed me XBOX360 and Reach. After playing through it, I also went to local GameStop and found Halo WARS and Halo 3 and have played them as well. An excellent Christmas, I must say.
I had Halo2 once, but it was not in the box, and I do not remember where I put it, so I am somewhat aggrivated. Is there a way to find it and play it on 360? I fondly recall that it had a deep level (or high tower?) and at the end, there was a very large circular platform on which many Covenant were trying to kill me. I want to play that again.
Anyhow, it’s great to be back and I look forward to catching up on the story again. Halo CE ruled when it came out, but I recall Halo2 being great as well.
BTW, I also seem to recall playing as one of the Covenant, was there a second disc in Halo2 or something that was a seperate game?
Halo 2 is backwards compatible with XBox 360, meaning that you can play it on the 360 by inserting the disc However, XBL for original XBox games, such as Halo 2, was discontinued in April 2010.
There’s not a second disc in Halo 2(unless you get the Limited Edition, in which Halo: CE was included), but for certain missions of the Halo 2 campaign, about half the total number, you play as a Covenant Elite.
I guess your real problem’s finding a copy of Halo 2 in a store:P
BTW: Halo: CE is also backwards compatible with the XBox 360, so you don’t have to use your original XBox to play it. Unless you want to for nostalgia’s sake, of course
Ours had both, I seem to recall. Because I remember that I had two copies of Halo:CE; one I had gotten in a bundle with the XBox itself, and one was included in Halo 2. I could be mistaken, but I have never had a cover for Halo: CE. But, my memory could be clouded. I haven’t seen my Limited Edition since 2005 or 2006, and only have a standard edition in my possesion, which I bought a couple of years ago.
Eventually I plan on getting a LE of Halo 2 just for the collection, I’d have a standard copy now but a friend didn’t bring the disc over for me to download the maps before the last day of old XBL.
