!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Honestly its not too hard to get an xbox emulator running, and you can find a match fairly quickly. I think the main community night is Thursday, but you can find a game most nights.
The point isn't the game. It is being carefree with few responsibilities and having friends to share the time with. If the point is finding a multiplayer game, there are plenty of options.
The point is also to be chilling in the same space between matches and gut punching people if they started shit talking too much.
Why not just play the PC version?
Tbh I was thinking of 2 as thats my home Halo. I guess for 1 yeah yu could just play PC
I know there is the MCC version of 2, but it doesn't feel the same.
Halo 2 was also released for PC when it first came out.
It actually wasn't when it first came out, the PC port wasn't until 2007 (same year as halo 3) and wasn't well received
I think the xbox version is used because modded xboxs can play online with PC users with emulators.
Fair enough, I forgot that they waited a couple years and made it Vista exclusive.
Xbox 360s are not expensive. The high never has to die!
Having old PCs splattered all over the house is a whole different vibe, nothing quite like it.
I've got an OG xbox on a CRT in the loungeroom. There's servers for it and a few people playing. It's wasted on me really, was never super big on halo its OK. I prefer to play Fusion Frenzy when people come round drunk twisted towers is my shit.
