Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

A sad day indeed, however, this time has been bound to come sometime.

*Cheers to the countless games I've enjoyed of halo 2 online*

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

:( why microsoft, why must you end halo 2. we don't want more friend list spaces, we want to play halo 2 online. seriously having 100+ friends on your friend list is too much. keep halo 2 alive.

xbox live will become a dark and gloomy place without halo 2 and it will be a sad day indeed when halo 2 is shutdown.

Did it not occur to Microsoft that some people who play on the Halo 2 servers don't have a 360? Or even regular access to one? Way to PO that fan base.

MS gets no forgiveness from me. It's hard to believe that a company with such resources can't find an efficient way to bypass a friends cap.

there are few people that need 100 friends on xbox. They are most likely not going to play with all 100 ever. ugh, microsoft making yet another dumb move.

Long live H2!

Good riddens!.
that game failed in everyway. Bungie even said so, I guess they are now happy to kill of their mistake.
they should think about moving to Halo 3, and Halo 3 ODST, and/or Halo 2 Vista.

Never give up, never surrender!

I really think that shutting down Halo 2 won't solve the friends list problem.I mean come on,the second they change it so you can have more friends on your list people will be complaining again because yet again they have reached the limit whatever that will be.This will keep repeating and will be more of a pain for ms than a gain because they will have to keep releasing updates for the simple reason that people accept random friend requests from gamers they'll never play with again.

I think microsoft owes us for all the problems we have had with the 360 and the only way they can repay us is by either keep the list limit at one hundred so we can continue to play Halo 2 or come up with a way to upgrade the friends list WITHOUT shutting down Halo 2.

This is a disgrace, there are loads of people who still play Halo 2 and Microsoft are just going to throw them out on their asses? I really hate Microsoft. They've done loads of things that I haven't agreed with, but this one is up there with the worst.

the Xbox Live 1 structure is messing with the current one.
so I say out with the old, and in with the NEW!

I can safely bet there won't even be Halo 2 for Games on Demand.
& since many people probably won't forgive microsoft.
Microsoft should be putting more work onto halo 2 vista, to make it better.
and not make it sux too many resources for no reason.

which is forcing people to get higher hardware for no reason,
especially when h2v still looks the same on halo 2 xbox.

and I don't think anyone should care about halo 2. it's old.
it's Bungie's Biggest failures.

Easy solution for this:

Stop being cheap and buy a 360 already

Many of us play Halo 2 on the 360.

Well that sucks. I guess the fanbase for Halo 2 is small enough that Microsoft doesn't expect a massive amount of backlash for this. But it seems like a pretty lame reason to close Halo 2. Who the hell needs hundreds of friends on live? No one actually plays with everyone on their friend's list, unless they have like 14 people on it.

R U Kiding me they should never shut down halo 2 server

  • 08.14.2009 9:05 AM PDT

I can't believe that they couldn't find a workaround.
Increase the limit, but let original xbox games only access the first 100 friends, wouldn't that work?

At least there will still be system link...

I want more friends; I'm sick of having to delete people to add others; especially for the sake of a game that I haven't played in nearly two years. It's silly. Make way for progress! Future, here we come!

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I cannot believe this -blam!-. NO ONE NEEDS 100 FRIENDS, it is that simple. I can't believe Halo 2's end is coming by the way of this stupid BULL -blam!-.

No one needs Halo 2, either. What's your point?
