Bungie bids funny farewell to Halo 2 online multiplayer

by David Hinkle on Apr 14th 2010 5:00PM

Click image for more lulz

As today is the last full day you'll get a chance to enjoy Halo 2, Bungie has apparently gone and pulled the joke lever. In preparation for tonight's festivities, we went online to download all of the extra maps for the game and get a round of practice in, only to find a few peculiar messages -- like the self-esteem booster you see above.

For the most part, the messages are pretty jovial, though there are a few odd ones that take it a bit too far. Head into the gallery below to check 'em all out.

Damn you, Joystiq comment gods!

I "heart" Bungie

Better?

KILLED MUFASA

Joystiq gods hate hearts. But love apostrophes. They're weird.

(FFR, you can use "(ampersand)lt;" like so: <3)

♥

Alt+3 (numpad)

..."KnifefightYaDad"?....

*whispers in ear

They must not be on speaking terms.

Shit that was louder than i thought.

That's my Gamertag.

May I ask why?

im pretty sure it was KnifefightYoDad but i think the expression "Yo" is considered offensive by the Xbox Enforcement Team

He had to change it because yo is offensive.

@Charliekrad

What!?!? "Yo" is considered offensive?

What the hell is this world comming to.

Yeah, the full story has been told on that X3F podcast: http://xbox.joystiq.com/category/podcasts

I think "HinkleMeElmo" would have been a better GT.

Just sayin'....

"Sega" is offensive to some folk too.. and not because of the PS3 port of Bayonetta..

Cheers to Halo 2! A great story line and multiplayer experience that transformed a generation. You will be missed.

Bye Bye!

NO! IT'S NOT OVER YET! I have 7 hours... I have 7 hours.... oh man... only 7 hours.

Such a shame, is it not? Always got Halo 3, right?

Personally, I'm avoiding Halo until Halo Reach. I think it'll help build suspense lol.

I WANT MY MOMMY!!! WAAAAAAH!!

i knew bxr was cheating!

I never played Halo 2, what's bxr?

melee, and cancel animation (think that's what it does) and shoot.

pretty much a sad sad death

You die by a in-game exploit. And yes, it is very sad. Some of my friends tried to teach it to me but I play Green Thumb... so it is practically impossible for me.

Mandatory upvote

That's pretty much how i feel right now.
I really hope Reach can fill some of that hole in my heart.

Playing all day!

I would be playing but the Blastacular Map Pack has never and never wants to work properly on my 360

Some pretty awesome comments today. What is this thing about Phantom Pistols, though?

Everyone has active camo armed with only pistols in one of the largest maps in the game.

"It's also a sweet way to force the opponent to suck your crotch!"

Wait, what?

The ENTIRE crotch area?

A good woman can get it all in there...

Stay classy, Bungie.

Had to upvote because of the awesome avatar.

gotta admit the first i hi-jacked a ghost was pretty awesome

Jolly good show

Got to admit, some of these were kind of funny.

Your not a noob, your a dick...

BYE

you're*

I see the Bungie guys definitely still have their funny bone. AH, I'm gonna miss the Xbox.

@Geoff900

Woah! Calm down there, Geoff. Just take a nice, deep breath and let all that pent-up stress melt away.

Bungie said he's awesome. And they wouldn't lie. :-)

Woah! He said "dick"! HE'S OUT OF CONTROL! SOMEONE CALM HIM DOWN!

Rusty Jack is a lie

Omg omFg, i feel so old school right now this game is still fun! I just went 25/8 on headlong ctf. Sad it ends today anyone wanna join me shimmy 420x

Sobs

Halo 2 was the first online game I ever played, makes me sad to see it go. : /
