So nostalgic to hear the multiplayer announcer say, "Lost the lead. Gained the lead."
Betrayal! Betrayed!
Isnt it crazy how certain sounds from a video game can take you back to a certain place in your memory? I felt the same thing. Made me picture my room as a kid staying up late to play one more match of halo 2.
Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken. Flag Dropped. Flag Taken.
Tied the leader!
@@ouvss lost the lead! Gained the lead!
The Noble 14 would be proud.
Im pretty sure these guys are still alive and now are happy to make a new account with either same or identical gamertag to play again
They died for this
@@AvatarJian as in dr. Halseys dialog or are u saying they are dead
@@Optican_Medic the Noble 14 are all dead 💀 show some respect 🫡
@@AvatarJian what, how they were old?
Insignia development is so great, an absolute pinnacle for game preservation.
I was too little to have xbox live and its awesome to experience it 14 yrs later.
This is for those who want to experience what it was like back then. No micro transactions. No hackers. Just pure history and the experience of what 2004 was like.
There were hackers back in the original days…. Hell there still is hackers right now
There were definitely hackers back then
You kids don't know the terror of a spin bot hacker
Hackers bro. It’s not fun when I tried it before it got shutdown. Also i don’t see the differences between this and MCC that gives the same experience
@@coffeelink943the og halo 2 experience is alot different for the fact alone that party chat is impossible, that groups stay together properly etc. you will have an entire lobby of chatting people. Mcc gives you none of that. in the entire 10 years of me playing mcc i can count on 2 hands how often i heard a mic, and most of the time its just sniffing or vacuuming. multiplayer is completely dead even when the lobbies are full. might as well play against bots, zero difference
The fact that this is one of the first halo 2 online videos since 2010 is crazy
2:31 Seeing that screen made me so nostalgic I can actually feel the xbox 1 controller in my hands right now. (not the duke)
I just remembered I have a duke
The duke was the best
Just yesterday I had a dream I was playing Halo 3 campaign. It made me want to hook up my old 360
i mean they are all on xbox one/series as well as pc. aside from halo 5 that is, all other halos are on current gen and pc
halo 3 was the best because it had online campaign matchmaking for ppl like me who have no friends
I used to pray for times like this!!!
Got my Xbox online today played 15 games and honestly didn’t wait too long to lobby up it’s good to have this back!
Insignia plans to do support for the 360 in the future because they want to wait for Microsoft to stop doing support for the Xbox 360 first before they can add their online servers to the backwards compatibility for Halo 2 on the 360, because why do you think people with (RGH'd/JTAG'd) 360's use stealth servers, it's because Microsoft has not yet ended support for the 360 yet, for now they only intend to shut down the market place on the Xbox 360 in July of this year.
7:16 I totally get you, it's so surreal to see Halo 2 online again especially on the original Xbox
This was THE game for me and my friends when we were kids....
Pretty cool to see our rumble pit game on there! Was awesome playing with you after having seen so many of your videos!
Crazy, feels like 2004 seeing this. Man that music 🔥🔥
Gonna have to call the boys, the Outcastz clan are about to be back!!, holy shit, we're all almost 40 now
Holy fuck. You remember KSI ?!?!!
@LuccianoNova yeah, and i was in the jumptacular clan too, we did a lot of glitches and random ball where we'd get the ball then superbounce our way up where the other team couldn't kill us, pissed a lot of people off lol, i was bad donkey then too, just kept using the gamer tag for everything
@@baddonkey6876 haha i remember the super bounces on lockout and ascension. Great times man.
@@LuccianoNova i practiced lockout like a thousand times so that i could do it either in an emergency or if the other team had a glitcher.......the two on that map were pretty hard, especially the double jump
Y’all were mad butt
Wow, Battlefront 2 now Halo 2. Greats are back
bf classic collection was a botch job
I hope people don't buy the subpar Aspyr release.
@@Simte I like how people on BF2C were going "hey, multiplayer exists on this one already" and then people would respond going "well no one plays it so why would we get that one to play the multiplayer" like that thought pattern isn't the cause of that.
@@halo091 definitely a cash grab, I just only play the old battlefront on my Playstation 2.
Yep, Battlefront 2 is back on Insignia too!
;)
this is my greatest gaming experience ever. Team snipers, trying to get past level 34, all the super bounce and pick off the enemy.
It's been a blast! We have a game night tonight for it on Halo Classic Hub.
You should really check out the cinematic scenario in the mod tools for 343 guilty spark because the marine hiding out of the map is actually jenkins.
Tried it on the emulator as well. Wasnt super thrilled about the emulator performance, but had so much fun I ordered an original xbox off ebay. Really hope a decent sized community builds up.
What we have now is pretty good.
So you can just hop onto the original Xbox and go to multiplayer, hop into a game ?
@@kiddeath6794yep
@@kiddeath6794 you need to mod it
So this wouldn’t work on xbox360?
that's incredible, how did they get everything the same, the ranking system is back too, that was the best part of Halo 2, ranking up. Peer to Peer was the biggest mistake ever, standbyers killed so much good competition.
Welcome back to 2004, soldier
Should have never been shutdown in the first place but Microsoft wanted to sell more xbox 360's.
You know what I just realized the nobile 14 is actually prediction of when does Halo 2 servers came back
How?
I would play this if I could, but I think restoration is always nice since it gives options. It is not always a matter of which is better, but more of which do you enjoy more for whatever reason, so good for anyone that can play this
I’d love to see you do more locked door videos bud. I really wanna see missions like 343 guilty spark, and also maybe u could do a locked door split video of assault on the control room and two betrayals? T&R and Keyes? Or even PoA and the Maw. All those missions are reused or a copy paste for the most part and some doors are locked on one, and open on the other and vice versa so I’m curious. 343 guilty spark also has several doors that are locked as well.
Got mine working and I love it. The nostalgia is hitting me hard
I’m so excited to get this up and running on my pc! Gonna grab some Mountain Dew and take a trip down memory lane!
People! Let's make 343i keep doing updates for MCC! Tell them to give it to the modders! Start a hashtag! Something! Anything!
Hey do you ever plan on playing mechassault 2 lonewolf again, or plan on making content on it? I seen you in a match on UA-cam back in the day.
Why is your username GeneralHeed but on here is GeneralKidd
Always wondered that. But, personally? I wouldn’t ask. It’s forbidden knowledge that we simply couldn’t handle knowing. If we did know, well… he’d have to “take care” of us.
Hey you didn’t explain the process how it works on og Xbox? All you have to do is put in h2 and you can connect or what?
It's great and glad to see you on it too. Sent a friend request if you're cool with that. Been playing some halo 2 rumble Pitt. Play it on the original Xbox Live just Hits different then playing it on Halo MCC
Are you on an emulator? I see some weird clipping happening on your version of lockout
Does it kick you if you have modded maps like on old xbl servers?
Dude what'd you say has the highest active playerbase? Xlink Kai or Insignia on Xbox?
so weird i have a huge garage cleaning out planned, i have no joke 6 og xboxes (i think 2 are rrod) i was going to get rid of. Maybe ill have to set up an old school lan before i get rid of them
I just can't imagine this having a community long term. You have to be a die hard fan to be pulling out your original Xbox to play this. The emulation just isn't there yet (especially jarring on ascension with no skybox) and imo if you're at the point of emulation you might as well just play MCC.
We need dedicated server tools for MCC.
The PC version is great
What would you say is the best time to play? How many people would you guesstimate usually play?
I miss original xbox Halo 2 and Halo 3 😊
Can someone explain to me how to get the Halo 2 iso? There isnt a single video showing how to do it. Im new to the Insignia stuff and Emulator. If I cant find a video it must not be difficult but like I said I have no clue what Im doing
I did everything yesterday and it ran pretty bad. Think I’m going to just buy an OG Xbox lol
Vimmslair
I bought my 360 back in the day for Halo 2. Hope this becomes available on 360 too.
Man I'd play but my disk wont read so i can't
How do you get it on your original xbox?
Can you make a tutorial for others to get in. Friends are having problems with emulator. And thinking about getting og box.
does it wark in xbox 360?
its so good!🔥
Yo how do I connect insignia if I’m using emulator ?
Day 1 halo fan, I am happy the community is this passionate, however, I wanna ask what's the point of this? I mean, we have halo 2 on MCC online and making this would just split the population right? It's cool and nostalgic but we can play in 4k 120fps now?
So with my og Xbox I just sign in and it'll work??
No, you have to setup Insignia, you can google Insignia/Connect
That’s what I’m saying, please explain general?
Remember all the MLG tournaments back in the day to.
This brings me back to early YT halo videos lol "join my Clan" - 200X year halo squeaker 😊
Yo thats crazy
The sacrifice of Noble 14 wasn’t in vain!!!
Bro I remember my school PC had this! This was lit! (Yes, my SCHOOL LAPTOP HAD HALO ON IT DONT KNOW WHY DIDNT ASK CAUSE I ENJOYED IT)
Super jumps!
So, can I play this on my 360 ?
Can I do it off of my 360?
Back in 2010, I didn't want to play halo 2. I was garbo on halo 2. The highest level I was on team slayer was 26. However on halo 3 I was pretty decent. I was level 46 on team doubles. So when halo 2 went away, I didn't care at all
Does this work with backwards compatibility on Xbox series X?
No , you need to get an original Xbox
The Noble 14 got the Halo Reach ending. "It didn't take long for Halo 2 to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo 2, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Halo 2. Your account, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything...except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can play Halo 2 again."
i must stay with project cartographer for subscription and budget reasons
So what your saying, is that i can finally get the level of a halo ring? in halo 2? Without a million hackers in the way?
I remember some people stayed on the original servers until they were booted out😅
hey bros, i can play halo 2 online in my xbox 360????. i dont have the original xbox
amazing
A shame I used my 360 to get my final day to get Halo 2 online for exactly 5 games and get the DLC. Insignia is only for the OG and I got it on there. Just curious on playing the DLC maps. Oh well. (reason for the no online is credit card need, had tons of Live cards, those worked years later on 360 haha)
So how do I play
Does anyone here know if there’s a way to keep the game in 4:3 if I I’m playing the game with a modern 16:9 screen?
Are you on a 360?
@@xTooPalex no but if you could suggest a solution for both I’d like to hear about it.
@@rekcr so if it's an OG xbox, I'd assume it's a display setting on your tv, if it was a 360, set your consoles resolution to 420p and turn off widescreen on it as well
@@xTooPalex alright, thank you very much
You should have got da noob stick. Gank this shiz
Ywah boyyyyy. Ill get you a modded xbox
So siiick 😎
I think u missed reach is back too
I don’t own an Xbox.
I’ve never even played a halo game
Where am I?
How did I get here?
It’s like 2 AM why am I watching this, and more importantly, enjoying it
you are missing a map i get this when i try to play im using emu too
Dang. So i cant play this on xbox360?
"Wanna dance? Wanna make babies?"
yoooo
not sure if I wanna do it via emu or OG box (assuming mine still works) but this is def awesome.
It's great to see people play this over mcc lol mcc doesn't work half the time so im glad it's dying
I’ll pay you to set me up on my PC
Very clever and well done to them, but as a gaming experience it seems a bit sketchy
That's so cool! I going to try it on my xbox, see if It works for me
can you do this with an xbox360
only OG Xbox or PC ( with XEMU emulator ), maybe they can get a work-around with 360 someday
@@barracadoseuze4213 thanks for the reply
Can you unlock achievements with this?
No its original Xbox
Achievements were introduced during 360
Thanks guys! I must have looked like an idiot XD
I played Halo 2 on Vista, and didn't unlock all the achievements I could. Since I'm hunting them I thought of including og Halo 2... And totally forgot about that little detail 🤦🏻
?
Project cartographer is a better alternative to running it on emulator because there's the download maps and dlc maps, and MCC has been decent enough for some time anyways. I just don't really see the value of running a server on the original xbox anymore, even if a few minute features from the xbox are missing.
Those features made the experience.
controller is hard to use on emulator lol.
Yeah no thanks. I dont miss the BXR spamming cheaters.
Yeah if you only have a computer
2nd
and suprise, its already dead
Not really
It's not, just tends to have people on at various times
I got Master Chief collection, I'm good thanks.
I'm confused, are you looking for applause?
And no one plays CE or 2 anymore in there. You have better luck on Custom Edition or Project Cartographer.
@@WonderMePartyStrip Might as well call it the Halo 3 and Reach combo pack
@@winlover37 I'm not looking for applause, I'm just stating by absolute contempt for the community letting MCC die, same way I'm pissed off at the Perfect Dark community for letting the XBLA servers go barren.
@@WonderMePartyStrip I know, that's what's annoying about all this original Halo 2 servers being online, it's been really hard to find consistent multiplayer buddies on MCC anymore, but everyone jumps on this nonsense. I don't have a horse in this race anymore since I discontinued my Xbox live Gold a few months back. Around the same time my old Xbox buddies told me I should get into Palworld I noticed that's what everyone's been doing for years, everyone plays the newer games but me and because of that I'm left behind so I discontinued the Xbox live since fuck that bullshit of buying new games
xlink kai had done this for years already
Ya suelten halo, ancianos, arruinan lo que podría ser la saga con sus lloriqueos diciendo que debería ser como antes, mejor hagan su examen de próstata.
¿Quieres un aplauso? Andate a meterle plata a un live service para que te lo quiten todo después, lameloide.
sigue llorando, Halo nunca morirá
i just got mine hooked up!! and a mic on the way if anyone wants to play give me an add i got no one on here lol psykotiiiiik
Did they bring back voice masking though
Can we be racist in gamechat still?
That's the whole point of pre 2014 gamechat
