Gaming preservation is so crucial now with many things going digital and games geared to be a live service model. The team at Insignia have done nothing short of a spectacular job to reverse engineer the online functionality for the original Xbox console and Halo 2 is the cherry on top! 170+ games revived as of March 2024! Many of us enthusiasts and players being able to play online games and experience it like it is 2004 is the best part!
Great video Mawk3 and thank you for the shoutout regarding Xemu!
Couldn't of said it better man! Anytime Dorian, your video really helps out the community.
This was truly the golden age of online gaming and couch and LAN gaming.
Bring me back man
its free now. everyone is playing
Man. I miss playing Halo 2 splitscreen with the homies after school. Dozens and dozens of Pizza slices, Mtn Dew bottles and having the times of my life. This video is bringing tears to my eye. Thank you Mawk.
Man bring me back to those days. I remember there was always that one dude who would unplug your controller if they started to lose 😅
Thank you for watching ❤️

@@jordonsky Thinking about covering the coop campaign in a video one day!
Pure insanity, 2 is the only game I wouldn't play on co-op due to the checkpoint reset on all players when one person dies
You have lived a sad drab typical existence npc

It’s amazing what the modding community is capable of doing for these old gems. Great coverage 💯🔥✨
Absolutely man. Keeping these games alive for us to revisit and newer generations to experience for the first time.
Thank you! Keep up the great work dude, love your classic 360 streams 🙏
@@MAWK3 Likewise bro! I appreciate it a lot 😁🫶🏻💯✨
As soon as my new xbox (old one broke, but covered under warranty) i am spending all night playing halo 2
Used to have it on emulator, but i raged and just bought an xbox
it's wild how good the xbox still looks 20+ years later
Man I remember staying up all night watching G4 and playing Monster Hunter freedom 2 on PSP, only to pretendo to be asleep when my mom came in at like 10am, no responsabilities just good vibes 🤙🏼
Nice!! I used to play Fireteam Bravo 2 while watching Xplay back in the day 😅 life was a lot simpler that is forsure.
@@MAWK3 that game was so fun online, I spent dead hours on it, and actually met people thru the weird voice chat it had, great game 🤘🏼 Xplay was boss
I've been playing on Insignia recently, its so good. I am so glad this project exists, what amazing work they've all been doing.
Absolutely! Being able to revisit these games again in their former glory is just so damn cool.
Me too. Just wish we had more players active on it.
Solid dude, thanks for the links to the other tutorials, i dont have an OG xbox atm but I do have a PC and the second guide for Xemu setup was super straight forward!!
keep up the good work your guides and updates are fire!
Thank you so much man!
"One major thing lacking in the MCC multiplayer experience is people talking! It's so quiet, nobody talks. I could play against bots and it would be the same! I hate playing multiplayer FPS without anyone talking; it's somehow awkward.
I remember that some game modes in MW2 even required you to be in game chat!
This can’t be said enough, it’s so bizarre. Nearly everyone that plays halo CE in mcc is around age 30, and they’re almost all silent.
Eventually one of the updates broke team chat, and then no one communicated at all.
@@noobishmacgamingNo it's not a bug, it's just people , they don't care to talk. Several times I tried to establish a contact ("Hi team! Hello There! Hey, can you hear me??"). I seldom get any answer lol
@@seifergamer057 the team chat thing is a bug, at least in custom browser (where the majority of ce players hang out now). It’ll work in your first match, but not subsequent ones. So you won’t have it unless you leave and come back every round.
That broke that in the last big 2023 update I believe. Since the team chat thing doesn’t hurt matchmaking (loads a fresh instance out of menu every time), they didn’t bother fixing it.
I mute a lot because there are too many people having loud music or conversations in the background. I do miss talking and meeting people.
Awesome video! Its such a trip experiencing Halo 2's matchmaking. I never got the chance to play it back in the day, so its sick af to now have the oppertunity to play the OG halo 2, on OG hardware🔥 lol
Thanks man! I remember when it shut down I never thought I'd be able to experience it again 😅
Between the OG Xbox and Xbox 360 I think was honestly the peak of video games. Gaming has never been the same as back then. It’s not even just me being older now either. I’ll never forget those hours with my friends. Genuinely the best time of my life.
I had the beautiful opportunity of playing Halo 2 when I was only 5 to 6 years old. I still remember playing 4 players with my family and even lan at one point with 2 tvs.. Also I got the chance to see Xbox Live! which by far was the coolest thing growing up..but outta all that, my favorite thing to do when I got home from school was to set my character up next to grav lifts and throw plasma grenades at my body😂, I think that's what made me like ragdolls and games like flat out and Burnout 👍
5:05 Casually killing Mint Blitz
Ayyyy I was so surprised to see my GT here. Love the video!
Thank you so much! Hope to see you on Halo 2 again 😁
@@MAWK3 You will! Just gotta finish a move and get settled. I'll be back
Yo! Love the vids btw, didn't know you made these videos! Me and my buddy IUseAController loved playing with you guys! That night was unforgettable, I'm glad we all got to be there! This community rocks.
Hey Buckett! That was a lot of fun. Launch night was truly something special
They should add a playlist exclusively for glitches (super jumps, out of maps, etc).
Your a gem dude what a vid.
Really means a lot man thank you for watching 🙏
As I’m watching this I decided to hop on Halo MCC and the first match I got into was a Halo 2 game on Backwash. Too funny
Hey, MAWK3, thanks for the shoutout! I have some ambitious plans for content creation with this game, but I'll officially announce it at a later date.😉
Great playing and talking with you dude! Excited to see what you have in store
Lol Yellow teams comeback was nuts!!! Thanks for capturing this 💫💫⚔⚔
No problem! Match was nuts 😅
We need more permanent population on halo2 insignia 🤔😌
Great Video! Thank you so much for shouting us out!
Anytime Punny! Glad to help 😊
Venezuela in da House, Baby!, but anyways this is incredible and big w for game preservation
I still have dreams occasionally(rarely) 20 years later where I'm actually in these maps jumping around for real. 😂
The intros are constantly more unhinged than the last video, love it 😂
It's really rewarding to make them 😅
Awesome video man 🙌❤️💯
Thank you brother!!
6:02 ayy there i am
im getting a og xbox to play this again thank god i have my halo 2 limited edition still
Thanks for the shoutout ❤
Going hard 🔥🔥🔥
btw amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Just picked up my og Xbox and halo. Now to figure out how to get online
very nice video 🙏
Thank you for watching! 😊
@@MAWK3 🙏
Halo 2 original Xbox Live play was awesome
How has it been 20 years since Halo 2 already..
Simpler times 😞
Hey that's my GT in the video Darklordgamingz
Wish you could use insignia on a modded 360 but that would be really hard to implement I reckon 😅 Might have to get an og xbox since they're still cheap I believe. I only had a ps1/ps2 growing up so I want to see what I have missed out on.
I really hope they eventually get it to work on the 360 one day.
I recommend trying to find one at a thrift / Secondhand shop. Gumtree is a good option to!
Can't wait to set this up its much easier now
What is it about older online games that are just more fun?
I was just playing this last night I wonder if we BATTLED
Probably a good chance that we did!
I got an OG Xbox recently but I didn’t know programs like this existed to play Halo 2 online. It’s cool but I can just play it on MCC. Not enough people online either.
Are you gonna be in cobatines live on Friday?
Planning on streaming with him in the future!
@@MAWK3 Sounds cool 👍
Do you play these on a CRT?
Nope! 4k TV. If I had the space I would get a CRT tho.
Can you still superbounce?
Saw mint blitz!!
Back when Microsoft gave a shit about video games!
Halo infinite has nothing on this game
Yes it does.
@@arelr6822like?
@@arelr6822 delusional
I like infinite multiplayer more than 2 sue me
@@gamerkid2329 I liked 3 more than infinite and not having to pay for gear cosmetics and being locked to an armor core at launch till season fricking 6 when they realize it’s fun to customize how we want it. But to each of its own cause Infinite has promises it just never landed right
ITS ALL ABOUT THE HE SAID SHE SAID BUUULLLSHIET
I listen to a lot of limp biskit playing this online 😅
I can't stand how complicated online fps are these days with all the classes and crap ranking systems I need halo 2 available do download on play on Xbox one right now.. or even on mobile.. PLEAAAAAAASE
Bro can u uploud video again
Just dropped a new one! Thank you for watching
We need a ps3 gta 5 updated vid as gta og was shut dow
Down
Definitely in the works!
@@MAWK3 thanks
Halo 2's been playable 'online' for years. It just used XLink Kai to play system link over the internet. Weird that people didn't know about that.
Best part though is that with so many new players the lobbies won't be so sweaty. People have been playing for decades and get really good... but also completely lack sportsmanship.
