24 Mar 07 “Master Chief, Give Me Some Room”

It pains me to do it, but I’m putting Halo 2 up on a shelf for a while.  My gameplay the last several weeks has been nothing short of frustrating, and I’m afraid that I’m just not having fun with it right now.  I don’t really know what happened, why my head isn’t in the game these days, why I can’t seem to do even the most rudimentary things without it resulting in my dying.  A lot.  But I can’t, and I’m not, so Master Chief is going to have to wait on me for at least a couple of weeks while I try to cool off, calm down, and remember why it is I love this game.  Maybe a hiatus will do me good. 

I don’t plan to give up my Friday nights on Live with the guys; I just think we’ll have to play something else for a week or two – Splinter Cell or Rainbow Six 3 or something else.  There are other games out there – I just tend to ignore them in favor of Halo 2.

I won’t completely be on a Halo 2 dry spell – there are a couple of events coming up in which I’ll be participating.  But I’m hoping that I’ll play better and enjoy it more if I don’t play Halo on my regular Friday evenings.

We’ll see how things go.  Halo 2 is still my favorite game for the Xbox, probably always will be.  I just need some space for a while.
