Wow. That's a lot of kills. In an attempt to say something original I'm surprised that that infographic is of a fairly low resolution. I can't read the weapon kill breakdowns.

Actually that's lower resolution than the one in the article.
1995x6500px > 650x2119px?

This makes the high schooler in me cry. The days of Halo 2 multiplayer feel like they ended just yesterday.
Too true. How long has it been since halo 2 multiplayer went down btw?
Like 5 or 6 months at least.
I hate to break it to you, but I think it's more like 2 years.
Really? Holy fuck time flies.

I've never played Halo since Microsoft wanted to keep it on the Xbox, and did nothing to promote Combat Evolved. However, a certain Texan took his experience from Halo and made it into the most awesome web-series I have been experiencing for a long time. If it wasn't for Bungie and Rooster Teeth, my life wouldn't be as entertained.
Thanks for your gift to us, Bungie. In so many ways.

The first time I ever played Halo was through Halo 2. I remember getting hooked on that game's single player.

So hooked in fact, that I deeply anticipated Halo 3's arrival, and when it did arrive, to me it felt like the game hit all the right marks. And that was before I started playing the multiplayer, which was fun as well.

ODST and Reach were good as well, but for me, they didn't really capture the feeling I had through playing the former two games.

Finally, I decided to try out the first Halo game. Kind of odd really, playing the very first game in the series last. As short as it was, I had fun with it. I could definitely see why people loved it back then.

Here's to you Bungie, for making such an awesome series of shooters.

Halo made me interested in games and shooters, and I am sad to see Bungie move on to a new franchise, but who knows maybe it will be better than Halo, and maybe there will be a PC version too *hint, hint*

See you Starside,

I still love Bungie. Awesome company, and Halo is an awesome game. Many, many excellent memories made during my time playing the games.

When you first click on the link, it's compressed to fit one screen. Now click the image itself.

Myth series will always be better than halo. Without the success of Myth or Marathon there would of been no Halo.

What's Halo? I can't seem to rememb... Oh yeah! Wasn't that a game that got released on PC years ago? I heard there was supposed to be a third game, but I can't remember it ever being released. Also, what's up with Fable? I saw the third game up for sale on Steam, but never played the second one?

Dear Microsoft,

Support us or don't. Stop half assing it by giving us titles when the magic 8-ball tells you to.

Fuck you,

Awe, not even a mention to the ugly duckling that was Halo wars ?
I'm sure a lot of online games were played with that one!

Sad to see them go and a really touching farewell with some "holy crap!" stats.

That one wasn't Bungie.

Due to respect of the subject, I won't address the posts that compare halo to marathon and bungie's other games as I normally would.

I am proud to have contributed 56,820 kills to the total. [small](And that doesn't include my Halo 3's SP or Halo 3's custom games, or any Halo 2, CE, or CEA kills)[/small]

In Notitias Est Mortuus.
VIVAT B7NGIE!

It's clear now that Halo hit its peak of popularity during Halo 3.

It's not very often that a game with so much hype exceeds expectations.

Ah, Halo: Custom Edition. How I loved you so. Few games I've logged as many hours as CE. I played this epic score by Taioo and remembered all the good times.

Favorite multiplayer series. Favorite multiplayer series where the story actually had a story. Favorite kickin' soundtrack.

I'll miss you. ='(

God, I love Bungie. I mean, I love Halo too, but I really love Bungie. It's amazing that I can look at that last little message at the end, and just know its sincere. They are just everything a developer should be to their fans. I just can't wait to see what they're working on next, and I can't wait to see what comes after that, and after that. I love them so much.

Here's to you Bungie. Back in the mid 2000s, Halo 2's local multiplayer kept me and my friends entertained for hours upon hours.

Thank you.
