The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

My Halo 2 XBL Experiment

Can I find a group of racist twelve-year-olds trying to ruin my Halo 2 experience if I tried?

I just read an article that lamented the state of Halo 2 Matchmaking. While articles like these aren't new, this one prompted me to try something out; I'm going to use Halo 2's matchmaking system (Rumble Pit) to see if I run into the jerks everyone claims infest Xbox Live.


Game 1
The only noise in the pre-game lobby was dooooo talking to his friends. The worst thing I heard in the game was "Yeah, punk!" from doooooo, and he was the only person who even bothered to speak. No insults here.
