Nice. I used to have the halo 3 metal case. I should see if I can find it in the attic.

The rust adds to the charm.

Yeah bro that’s what happens when you don’t clean and oil your games. When was the last time you even field stripped your consoles and gave them a good oiling? I’ll bet you don’t even wipe them down after you use them. GOSH!

I had that game and was surprised to see it began to rust like that about 3-4 years after I got it. I was surprised and disappointed. That’s humidity in the USA Midwest during Summertime paired with cheap metal for ya.

I was in high school when Halo 2 came out. It was one of the first times I had seen a game get almost as much hype as a blockbuster movie. It was wild.

AFAIK there are more “Limited Edition” copies of Halo 2 than non-Limited Edition.

You have to clean and Oil your Games and Consoles regularly otherwise they will rust and get dameged. It’s just sad that it could come to this

I remember my brothers had this! They walked a couple miles to the nearest GameStop and picked it up. We had so much fun playing it together. Unfortunately, I highly doubt the case is anywhere to be found. Thank you for reminding me of such great childhood memories!

Damn I think I has this when I was a kid. I had so much cool shit, I wish I didn’t lose all my childhood stuff when I was 18

I remember the midnight release for this. I thought it being in a metal case was the coolest thing ever at the time.

That looks awesome – like a relic from an era past. It’s hard to explain the rush of nostalgia from seeing stuff like this; leading the charge as consoles went online and gaming took to new levels. I know it wasn’t the first, but holy shit was it the wild west.
Random messages challenging to 1v1 after a solid match, ensuring your volume was low enough so the rest of your family didn’t hear the pregame lobby banter – or the holy grail – an entire lobby accusing you of cheating or hacking, but you’re just *that fucking good*.
Gentlemen, it was a *privilege* to serve with you.
