Right now, there are just under one million subscribers to Xbox Live. Just think of how many more subscribers Halo 2 will bring to Xbox Live...I'm guessing hundreds of thousands more. You know what that means...MORE GAMES TO PLAY ON!!!

Also, I have a question for any moderator. Bungie has it's own servers on Halo PC...duh. But, will Bungie have up dedicated servers for Halo 2? Or will there be "XServers" instead? Or will there be both (which I'm praying for, as my cable connection is kind of "low-end")?

MS will probably have tons of Xsevers up, seeing that Halo 2 will sell Xbox's and Live kits left and right

I hope they're plentiful. The Xservers I've played on are usually lagless and pretty smooth.

I wanted to know if Bungie will have any servers up...like the servers they have on Halo PC.

Why would you need special servers on Live? I dont think you can although I would have thought Bungie could add the option for gamers to host dedicated servers.

RULE TO ~Xbox Live~!

Halo 2 Is gonna rock XBL, Of course thousands more people will sign up....


Umm...about the servers, I've heard that Bungie will support a set number of dedicated servers, they should run as smooth as silk, thats why the game was delayed, they have been working on the xbox live functions of the game during the delay, i think it was 1000 Microsoft workers, that did have XBL and was stationed all over the U.S. test Halo 2 and provide data for the game makers

They have not delayed Halo 2. November 9th/11th is the official release date.

It was delayed as a matter of fact, that is the official date, but the set date before was in March.

Nope, November is the only official release date from bungie. Watch as more people hopefully flood in here and say like-wise.

their not such thing as a dedicated server for xbox live and if the server left it their it whould be a big disadvantage to the team that has the server or host on there side and i have lots of xbox live freinds that have good servers, pretty much everyone HAS to have good servers.

Well so do I. But I'm just trying to say that it wasn't delayed. Shops predicted release dates and stuff but November is the first release date given by bungie. I'm not trying to be mean, just inform you about this. If you read the articles that came out at E3 from this site it says taht this is the only release date. No hostilities :)

A server that has less lag than usual and the host cannot partake in the games.

If bungie ever said there was going to be an alternate release date for halo 2 it would have been in the news. check the news archives and you will not find an article on the realease of halo 2 any earlier than november 9th 2004. Some of you hardcore belivers in the fact that there were other dates may say, "i bet they took it out to cover their asses" well I say you're and idiot and you're just covering your ass by making excuses becuase you know you're wrong. I've heard many people say MANY things about the release date of halo 2, but nothing other than the true one from bungie.

All of those dates were just predictions from those outside of Bungie. It is easier to sell pre-orders if you have a release date listed. Bungie only release time frames three times

First - Not in 2003
Second - Not till Fall 2004
Third - 11/9/2004

Never delayed because a specific date was never given until E3 2004.
