Subject: What happened to online play?

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

Something happened to Halo 2 online play, now you can't play online at all. For an exception of friends joining each other for some custom games action, there is no online interaction, since the matchmaking system for Halo 2 has been shut down after 5 years.

I guess it's time to remove all of the map packs off of my Xbox 360 now, which is sad, who else is going to play clean up since of this unfortunate news, it was going to happen.

No. Just no. If the H2 servers were shut down after 5 years what were people playing before H3 came out? It hasnt even been a year since H3 came out.

They don't shut anything down for any game. There is nothing to be shut down is there? It is all P2P. That's why I can go back and play Counter-strike for the Xbox anytime I want for as long as Live is around.

I still play Halo 2 and me and my friends group up and play in matchmaking all the time. I have heard of problems with 360s and original xbox games. And if you keep getting the "please up date now" or whatever it says, then just trying resting your console a couple times until it works.
