Please Just Lock this thread. We dont need pople to just read the tilte and Believe that they shut down Halo 2!!!!
Whats the point? As soon as theirs another rumor that Bungie's gonna pull the plug on Halo 2 then theirs gonna be another topic just like this one. Just sticky this thread to save time, and change the title to avoid any confusion.
(P.S. Does Bungie even pay attention to the Halo 2 forums anymore?)
why do people care for this game?
Microsoft sure as hell don't care, they haven't bothered to release it for Games on Demand.

I'm pretty sure, when Halo Reach comes out, they'll shut down Halo 2 and then say
We had to shut down this game because of [blah]and [blah] and other reasons.
But don't forget we have 3 Halo games for the Xbox 360 Console, and plus the console is cheap.
so you can forgive us.

Hello! I'm a male!

If they were planning on shutting down the Halo 2 servers Bungie themselves would have posted something about it on the main page saying that hey have to shut it down for what ever reason they need to shut it down for. So unless I read that shiny gold text of a bungie employee in here or see a news post about it saying that they are shutting down the Halo 2 servers for what ever reason I'm not going to believe it. I love to put this game back in ever once and awhile just to fight the harder in my opinion brutes. The brutes in Halo 2 are way more powerful and a much more challenging foe than the brutes in Halo 3 and ODST. If for what ever reason they do put brutes in Reach then they should be like the brutes in Halo 2 and not the crummy power armor brutes. Also if they shut down the Halo 2 for xbox servers there will still be the Halo 2 for Vista game. It may be laggy but it is still fun to play even if Bugnie doesn't track our stats from it. So yea as of this post they are not shutting down the Halo 2 servers.

Edit: here is a quote from a Bungie employee backing this up on page two of this forum:Posted by: Achronos
You should read their source article more carefully. In it, you'll find that all that really happened is OXM UK thinks Halo 2 could be shut off, but didn't really ask Microsoft or us about it.

Don't believe everything you see on the Internet, kids.

Is this thread really still going? H2 isn't being shut down, Shishka said so himself.

However, the server will not be up forever, so it will shutdown sometime soon in like 1-4years in my prediction or whenever Bungie announces it on the homepage. Then some of the H2 fans will most likely go back to playing Halo1 for the PC. There going to go as old skool as they can.

I enjoyed Halo 2 gameplay. I thought it was real fun. DON'T SHUT IT DOWN MICROSOFT!

Where you been? You should work harder at informing yourself. No servers have been shut down.

What's up? You can call me Phil. I love to play Battlefield 3!

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.

I am suprised that this thread is still going on. Even after Bungie came out and said they are not shutting down halo 2. Just let this thread die out or be locked. It served its purpose already.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

The official Halo PC Bungie servers were shut down a few years ago.

The Halo PC servers still up are all dedicated servers run by individuals.

Guys, please tell me the servers are still online, because I wanted to buy Halo 2 for my nephew for Christmas, and I went to Gamestop to see if they had it. Well the guy tells me that they shut off the servers, and that he would give me his game for free. So I went back, and he gave it to me, but my nephew plays Matchmaking alot, and I need to know if he still can.

Well, there's two things you have to do:
1 Stick the game in.
2 Play.
