If so, for how long?
I own Halo 3, enjoy the online gameplay.. but I also still enjoy playing Halo 2 just as much. I was wondering if there was any news on Halo 2 servers being shut down, when, or anything of the sort....
Halo 2 doesn't actually have the big dedicated servers -- it uses the "virtual couch" party system, where one player is selected to be the host based on connection quality, and everyone else subsequently gets put into that party.
Because Halo 2's XBL play isn't reliant on servers, people can keep playing until the service itself is shut down or damaged, in theory. I can't imagine that they would shut it down, though.
Hey, tanks for the info, I didn't know that was how it worked.
