This. I read this thread and the OP's link is from a really bad journalist. The original story says nothing of Halo 2 being closed down.

wow microsoft and bungie you suck -blam!- you that will make me so pissed

Halo 2 is NOT being shut down. Why are people still freaking out about this? If it were going to be shut down it would be all over Bungie's front page.

My spoon isn't the only thing that's too big

I don't know if I'd mind it. It's nice knowing I have the option to go back if I want to, though.

Halo 2 is the best online game but who plays it? what max 300 - 400 a day? that's not even close to 1 play list on halo 3..

I say shut it down.. + the cheaters and host booters run h2 now so it's time to say good bye to this life changing game.

Get halo 2 Vista if you want to play it some more I guess..

I would but I'm on XP.

Cheaters/host booters/lag switchers/etc appear in more numbers in halo 3 than in halo 2. It doesn't matter about the population of matchmaking in any given time, we still play the game because we still love halo 2.

  • 11.13.2009 8:18 PM PDT

i sure hope they are just doing an update because i want to get back into matchmaking

Halo 2 isn't being shut down!

  • 11.16.2009 4:28 PM PDT

Really Now I'm confused, I was on halo 2 yesterday, but couldn't get on today. BUT before I was on yesterday I couldn't get on I try optimatch or quick match and the list won't let me something about couldn't retrieve updates and I need to sign out and sign back in to fix the problem. I do so yet, the problem continues. BUT ANYWAY! If they did shut down halo 2 that would be bad, cause regardless how many people hated it, the people who loved it are greater by a landslide. and halo 2 is a long chapter to us dedicated gamers lives and if you take it away from us then you shalt not be forgiven for you take away memories of all the live experience. But seriously Are they canning the servers or not?

Hello! I'm a male!

Wow Bungie has already said they are not doing this. They also said that unless they post that they are officially doing this it isn't going to happen! Stop asking about this. The servers are just going down and no one wants to fix them. I'm sick of seeing this thread in here every day for like 18/24 hours.

1) Actually more than that

2) Cheaters and host booters in Halo 2? I've seen less of them in Halo 2 than i have in Halo 3

3) Halo 2 for Windows Vista? That game lags a lot. Like 90% of the time.
