The Good - The Sexy Kyle Clan
Back in the early going of Halo 2, there was a clan feature. There wasn’t any use for being in a clan though, so I didn’t do anything with it. Eventually, Bungie set up matchmaking modes centered on clan matches, finally piquing my interest.
Most of my friends from school were in a clan about pink ninjas or something. I felt that was beneath me, so I began the Sexy Kyle Clan. As silly as a name that may have been, it was one of the most formidable clans in Halo 2.
The first battle was getting my friends to join my clan. With a name like “Sexy Kyle Clan,” it didn’t exactly inspire all my friends to join up, but they eventually chose their friend over some random clan that they didn’t even know the person heading it.
Back then, we didn’t have very busy after-school schedules, so we would often play some matches every day. We had all played Halo since the year Combat Evolved came out, so were better than the majority of people playing Halo 2.
Our rank kept getting higher every day as our members were highly skilled players with no glaring weak link among us. I remember one weekend where we won 25+ matches in a row. The Sexy Kyle Clan, at its peak, was one of the most successful clans, in terms of winning percentage, in the Halo 2 community while having only 15-20 members!
For whatever reason, Bungie halted the clan matchmaking mode and never brought it back up again. My friends and I joked that they didn’t want a clan with “sexy” in its name being on the leaderboards. Though we all continued to play a lot afterward, we missed having our little clan. I, more than anyone else, was sad to hang up the Sexy Kyle Clan.
I’m still waiting for the right game to bust that out again. Unfortunately, many games now block the word “sexy”, even M-rated games. Who knows if and when I will have another chance to do so?
