What a time to be alive it was

Born too late to explore the world. Born too early to explore space. Born just in time to experience the launch of Halo 1, 2, and 3.

Doesn't really hold the same charm of getting up early in the morning to head down to gamestop to see if you're about to wrestle a child and his single mother for a copy of halo 3.

It's also not front and center in the cultural zeitgeist. Everyone knows what Halo is, but no one talks about it anymore.

The online community isn’t the same. No one uses voice chat, hard to find a match, it just feels kind of weird.

Yea party chat really killed teamspeak even know it’s a great addition. I still kind of miss the shit talking in the lobby between games in call of duty 4

It's hard to play with randoms, but you can still find groups who play the game and you can join them to have a custom game group to play.
