well right now there are just about 39,500 online in halo 2 and there are about 54,500 online in the halo 3 BETA none the less. seeing as this is only a like a "demo" of the real game how long do you think once halo 3 finally comes out that halo 2 will actually last in the multiplayer gaming world?

Once Halo 3 comes out, more people will stop playing halo 2. I'll bet in a few months after Halo 3 comes out, Halo 2 will be collecting dust on the shelf!

I don't know... Probably.

Halo 2 been out for a couple years now, and it's still $30.00 at the store...

Ditto dude, at the lans i organize, we play H2 and H1, not just H2, and when H3 comes out, we will follow the tradition of playing the others. And my best friend and i who are mass fanatics, read the books, i collect the figures etc play both 1 and 2 story, and JUST before H3 comes out, we plan to run the entire story :D HOO RAH!

Look at it this way......after two and a half years, there's still 40,000 people coming on at any giving moment, and around 200,000 unique players per day......

That's pretty good. Especially considering that it's battling the Halo 3 beta as we speak. Halo 2 has lost the popularity it once had, but it's not becoming extinct. I think we're merely watching its "golden years," if you will.

LOL I didn't even realize that, well said :-)

If I were perfect then this would be easy.

Mmm... for multiplayer, it's a bit difficult switching between Halo 2 and Halo 3 not only due to the lack of new features in Halo 2 but because of the very different button layouts.

But I do still play Halo:CE and Halo 2 for the campaigns, co-op that is. I just wish Halo 2 had online co-op. Because now I have to drive 1200 miles to my friend's house to show him the soccer ball! Blarg?

You do know, everyone will buy a 360 for Halo3.

Its a BETA, its a 3 weeks time, after the 3 weeks are over, everyone will play Halo 2 again.

If you want some, Come get some!!!!!!!!!!

I agree I play the beta quite a bit but I never forget the roots man, I still play h2 alot for the fact there is more on the game rather than the beta. Will I ever completly abandon H2 probbaly not even when 3 comes out I have far to many friends on H2 to just quit playing. All this will stop in Jube but It will be pretty bad come the end of september

  • 05.20.2007 10:52 AM PDT

The demos good but after the 3weeks+4 days <LOL ,we'll be back getting our Lvs up onH2 again

So true, as soon as a new Halo game comes out I always am rusty on the game story and have to run through the previous game. And the books are awsome!!

  • 05.20.2007 2:48 PM PDT

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

Once H3 comes out, there'll be like 300 people playing H2. From there, it will slowly fade away. I would give it about two years after H3 comes out. So my offitial answer is,

The end of the year in 2009

It will take a long time before EVERYONE stops playing Halo 2, but it definitely will lose popularity. Hell, for those of you who know what Marathon is, that game is still around, and there's always 2-20 people online, and it came out about 13 years ago.
