Today the kids asked to play the OG Xbox, so I got to play a game I didn't really play before: Halo 2. Back when it first came out I groused over the fact that Bungie took out the health boxes and didn't play it after. Of course, other games used a similar concept (no health bar but the changing of view to indicate damage that heals by itself) that I got into and enjoyed. But I never got back to Halo 2.

I got past the space assault missions but had to stop when I went planetside. Later I got to play some splitscreen pvp and found my skills are lacking.
