Celebrating 20 years of Halo 2. In 2001, the world of console gaming and first-person shooters was forever changed by the release of Microsoft’s Xbox platform with a launch title named Halo: Combat Evolved—a bold subtitle that the game wholly lived up to.
As the Master Chief, we set foot on an ancient ringworld named Halo, fought against the Covenant alongside our ragtag Marine allies and trusty guide Cortana, and uncovered the horrifying secrets in the depths of this alien megastructure before blowing it to smithereens. It seemed like the fight had been finished, but as the Chief himself said at the end: “I think we’re just getting started.”
It is November 9, 2004. It’s a Tuesday morning and you know that you’ve got to go to work or school, but that’s the last thing on your mind right now. Your eyes are bleary and bloodshot, your mind utterly scrambled, but it was totally worth it to have queued up at midnight outside your local retailer and stayed up all night playing Halo 2.
The Master Chief and Cortana returned to Earth to a hero’s welcome, but the Covenant aren’t far behind as the fight arrives in the city streets of Mombasa. But, what’s this? There’s another character whose story we follow—a disgraced alien warrior who is punished for his failure to protect the Halo ring discovered in the first game, given a chance at redemption, and-- wait... is that an energy sword in my hand? I’m playing as him?!
And that was just the campaign. In short order, you and your friends are playing together, not by lugging your chunky CRT television and Xbox around the corner to a friend’s house for another bout of system link screenwatching, but from the comfort of your own home through the advent of online play.
If you can believe it, that was twenty years ago.
As we mark this grandiose milestone for the series, we wanted to share with you everything that’s going on to celebrate all things Halo 2.
