This is probably the most anticipated montage of the past two years. I'll give a history to commemorate.

Lead: The first h2f halo pc community montage is posted. It receives excellent reviews among regulars and mixed reviews among the competitive community.
03-25-2007
Mister Newb had been spreading propaganda of a second community video. Thoughts go around that a second Lead should be made to build from the success of the first. Bridging the gap between pc and xbox as well as other ideas float around.

Honey and Crest make it official. They agree to create a Lead 2 and start accepting clips from the community. Anticipation builds as players from around the globe record themselves.
08-23-2007
Lead 2 Music thread is created. Ideas about the songs are introduced and voted on by members that happen to be around.
9-18-2007
The music votes are in! (Can't Get My) Head Aroud You - The Offspring garners fifty percent of the vote.
09-19-2007
Lead 2 Official Thread is created by Honey. As the collection of clips grows the management tries to keep everything running smooth.

Honey and Crest ask for PMs about the credits. Dzasta sums it up nicely with this "We are a very diverse group of indeviduals here in the halo 1 section. we include Serious montage kids, KW montage kids, and people who jsut love to see someone get stuck across map. Halo 1 started it all and we continue to keep the tradition going. Nothing can pull us a part. We are all connected with one each other, through halo, IM, h3f, and cyber sex (Elmo
) and our bond can never be broken. Well thats all i can think of in 2 minutes <3 <3 <3 to all h1ers <3 <3 <3"

Muffin makes support Lead 2 sigs. They acheive minimal success despite his best marketing efforts. They can be seen here:

Honey asks the community if this video should be announced. A resounding yes is received as well as questions as to the competition date. January of 2008 seems reasonable.
3-08-2008
Mods close the official Lead 2 thread and a revolution occurs between the halo 1 section peons and the all powerful mobkerators. It is a short lived battle with many people banned and even more people's threads closed. A small outbreak of AIDS is also detected.
Month 3 - Month 6
Months pass with the release date being pushed back every day. Crest seems to have given up on his closest pals and with Elmo's ban the section is overrun by 3 day videos and minitages and h2 kids.
6-04-2008
B SiK closes the Official Lead 2 thread. Is all hope lost for our beloved video?
6-30-08
Crest's status reading 6.30.08 comes with no official news of Lead 2. But before all hope is lost very confidential information streams through xfire and h2f PMs revealing a nearly completed video. Crest seems to be finishing!
7-02-08
Lead 2 is released in this thread! It receives mixed reviews.
Future
Is Lead 3 a possibility? Will Honey and Crest EVER take on another video again? Does Elmo have herpes? These questions may never be answered.[b]
