As all of us know by now, Halo 2 has been taken offline. You, my reader, know that I a obsessed with Halo 2, and always will be. Even though Halo 2 is offline, it's never time to forget these special memories that we will have with Halo 2. Some have different and better memories. Although, many share the same. "It was a kick ass game, and will go down in memory of us all!" Claimed a Halo 2 fan poster on the Bungie forums.
Here is a Youtube video that I always watch. It's a great and sad video and really sums up the feeling I have for Halo 2. The song choice was purely amazing. How sad that Microsoft had to do this to us.

Small Population - What You Can Do
We have a small population of about 10 - 20 readers who read on a regular basis. I myself am trying to come up with something that can get this number higher and higher each month so that way we can have a community of our own very soon. This is pretty much just some things that you, our devoted reader can do to help us get more population to read, and to be interested.
Our Ideas.
I have thought of opening up more of a bigger perspective of gaming. More topics that don't revolve around Halo, and more so about other games. This can increase the population by a lot. We can have different news writers here that will be either taking "MW2" updates, or "BFBC2" Updates, or whatever works. All we need is ideas.
Creating a New Subscribe Feature
I could send out messages Monthly to people, giving them a short description about our website, and what it has to offer. We can be positive about this, because of a "New Subscribe" feature. I can add at the end of my message saying "Thank for reading. If you have found this message interesting, and would like to receive more information monthly, please reply saying 'Subscribe.'"
If you have any ideas about how you can help us get a bigger and better population, please feel free to email any ideas to these contact addresses.

Halo Reach Beta - New Updates
Halo Reach BETA Gameplay is just around the corner. Surely, we all can agree that the Beta will have some temporary problems, but will still have tons of fun playing with all of our friends. This is truly "a New Era" after "The End of an Era" with the Halo 2 online play close. This post is pretty much going to sum up all new updates on what we have for Halo REACH. Be sure and visit www.Bungie.net for even more information. Take note, that we have read all of the passages, but decided to take what was most important in the topics from Bungie.
The video above will pretty much describe everything that you'll want to know about The Beta gameplay, and more!

As Days Draw Near - The Time Is Coming
After the fall of Halo 2's Heroic Xbox Live had been disabled, most of us looked towards Bungie for comfort. Halo Reach looks very satisfiable and could possibly make us forget about Halo 2's shut down. Just how so?
Bungie has told us many things about the Reach Beta and and with plenty of details. From vehicles, weapons, maps and more, we know just about everything about the Beta. This video below pretty much sums up a great review about everything that will be in the Beta. Be sure to listen to the Map Pack part. Did you see those maps? What was your first impression?
With that being said, Halo Reach Beta will have some problems, and things to work on. Indeed, that is why it's the Beta. It's still a work in progress. Read more below for some things I have realized before the review.
1) Jetpacks - A Harmful Feature?
Most of us started to piss our pants when we saw this feature in the Trailer. It was awesome, am I right? Of course! Halo Reach really is awesome, but what are some of the things that will make us choose to not use the Jetpacks? Jetpacks, as said in the review, will make you an easier target, and will allow you to stick out like a Yellow on Black. You'll become an easier target! Not too forget tat the higher you go, the more harm will be done when you fall. The loss of stamina is a better feature than Halo 3's. In Halo 3, notice how high you can go without losing any stamina/health. It's disappointing. They definitely have fixed this for good.
2) Maps - Lazy, Lazy Bungie!
Some maps will apparently be use in the Multiplayer side, but will just have slight edits to make it available for Multiplayer. For example, they will make it much smaller to fit a size that is needed for a playlist. This is better, than letting noobs free-roam! Why are we the ones stuck with stupid Campaign maps? Can't you make something from scratch Bungie!
This is our opinion. What's your's?

Halo 2 - Our past, the present, the future
All of us Xbox Gamers should know by now that all original Xbox games have been taken offline. If you are reading this, and didn't have a clue, then that's really a shame because you missed a hell of a great time. Halo 2 is a definite memorable game that has many memories, moments and great time for just about anyone who has played the game. I for one, have many memories with this game. When I was little I used to play it all the time. When I had no choice to get rid of my Xbox v1, I also had to give up Halo 2. Sad days, is it not? Todays a even more sad day. Xbox Live is down for all original xbox games, and that's final.
Theres Hope...
According to Major Nelson, Microsoft is have a press conference soon and might have a little talk about something very important. Halo 2 is a great game, and it was a shame to see it go, indeed. That's what the press might be about, but I could be wrong. 15 Hours after shutdown, people continued to play XBL for Halo 2. These fans are dedicated, are they not? Thats what Microsoft want to see. Maybe they might bring it back? Make is available in Games on Demand for every and available for anyone! This could be the best day in Xbox History.
Halo 2 was a great game and I got to witness the shutdown.
Here is a video in remembrance of Halo 2 and its memories. Such a loss.

Recruiting and Clan Battles
Today once again, I feel pressured to get the news out to you as soon as possible. We are in need of more people for our clan. Yes, we do have certain ranks, but not many. We pretty much have Member, Commander, Captain, Leader, Main Leader. Thats just about it. We judge people by how good you are, and how many kills you get in each game. If we notice you are a great player with a high rank, you are definitely looking to get at least a Captain. We also check your K/D Ration for Ranked and Social to see if your worthy enough for the clan.
This is not all, we are in need of a clan battle. The video will be posted on YouTube after the battle even if we lose. Our mission is not to make you feel unhappy so we are fair and we also fight fair. If you are interested in a Clan Battle we have information below that you can read.
Game types for the clan battle will ALL be MLG. No radars, and of course regular MLG rules with weapons and so forth. It will either be a 3 v 3 or a 4 v 4. It depends on how many people of your clan is online, and it also depends on how many people you have for your clan. (This is why we need people who are also willing to join our clan in return, for a bigger and better clan match.) We can either do MLG Team Slayer or MLG CTF. Maps are taken as a vote. We expect Gaurdian to be the top voted among us all, but I prefer MLG Narrows.
If you have any comments, questions or would like either a Clan Battle or to be one of us please feel free to contact us. Contact information is down below with our email address and Gamertags.

Clan Videos - Available Now
This is a video of me, MLG Mather back when my gamertag was Relromonster. Since we have one video uploaded already, this means that we stood by what we said we were going to do. If you've been keeping yourself updated on our blog for Halo news, then you know.
More videos will be coming later of actually FULL gameplay for Clan battles between our clan and different clans. It will be truly amazing to be able to put up as many videos as we want, and when we want. Although the videos are not free and we would appreciate if you could donate at least 1$. Every penny helps us up to pay for the videos. A secure donate button will be available shortly if not already.
