2/16 Never Forget

We forgot.
Mike: We actually did forget exactly why we celebrate 2/16. It had something to do with Halo 3. But by God we still say it. "2/16 Never Forget"
Graham: 2/16 refers to the date of a Halo 2 CTF game, the details of which we have since forgotten. Even the year it occurred has been lost to time. Blurry evidence has been gleaned from our personal historians, but little can be confirmed:
* It was likely 2005 or 2006
* The game was a Halo 2 one-flag CTF custom game
* It was likely on the Blood Gulch map. Edit: Chris: Blood Gulch was the Halo 1 map. Coagulation was the Halo 2 map. 2/16 took place, almost certainly, on the Halo 2 map.
* It took place on February 16
* It either started as 3-on-3 and one person dropped out, or a 2-on-3
* The undermanned team won after many, many rounds
* The players were likely Chris, Cam, Graham, Dom, Mike - if there was a sixth there is no record of their existence
"We can't remember what this is about, but we've been saying it for 12 years" - Mike, May 17, 2016.
Chris: Although the details of the victory have been almost completely lost to the sands of time what remains is the only thing that really matters. What matters is that there are actually was a victory. And that victory was epic, hard-fought, and well-deserved.
Declare the existence of 2/16 whenever a great victory against seemingly impossible odds is nigh, or to remind those in whose company you might share that there was, indeed, a great victory of some kind at some point.Category:Gaming Memes
