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

Are you guys morons?
No one needs Halo 2?
Bungie failed Halo 2 Big Time?
Wow you guys, all I can do is clap for the two above posters.

and Moifugley why are you hating on Halo 2? You're the biggest Halo 2 Vista Fanboy on here.

Halo 3 O.D.S.T september 22, 2009 with silenced wepons also comes with all the map packs on halo 3

Why would they shut down halo 2. Did they know LOTS of people still play halo 2! And why do we even need 100+ freinds. We barly even play with 30 people! Way to go MS you just ruined most people who dont have the xbox 360 fun. bye halo 2 :,-(

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.

I guess you're purposely not giving a definite answer on this?

It's obvious to just about anyone that Halo 2 Matchmaking won't be around forever. I'm sure the timetable for shutting it down has been discussed. Can you share anything related to that, give us a vague idea of when that might happen?

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

To moifugly,
Bungie did not fail on halo 2, stop trolling. And there is always the pc port or Xlink Kai.
Now, they arent gonna shut it any time soon, i can still get on with my original Xbox.

TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

I already pointed this out in like 4 threads. But no one listens. Of course they are going to listen now that Achronos has spoken.

  • 08.17.2009 3:41 AM PDT

That's total crap. I can't believe what I just read.

We have to stop them!

Somehow...

Who needs 100 friends anyway?

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Looked pretty definitive to me - the article is hypothesizing something they know nothing about.

It isn't shutting down yet. The 'when' hypotheses can wait a while, can't they?

look everyone :) Achronos cares about Halo2!!!


Well, Although i play halo3 more now, i still love halo2. Halo2 has this charm about it that halo3 lacks.
I think what bungie could do is take the clans off if that would help keep halo2 alive. I'm glad to hear Halo2 is still here.

My mom would be so upset if halo2 died.....she plays it regularly.

  • 08.17.2009 9:08 AM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

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.

I'd like to meet any woman in person who plays H2. Sadly, I've never met a woman who does.

Rofl, and you are an FLM.

OK, OT, Go here Microsoft Gaming Forum and join and ask them this same question. Flood them and they will listen. We could riot MS!

It's possible that the rumor was started by MS to see what kind of reaction is kindled. Let them know on their turf because they may not be listening to what's going on in an obscure Bungie forum.

Can you guys at bungie do one last thing for halo 2 before it is forgotten? Add a custom games system into it. I really don't care at all about matchmaking. If anyone here has played halo 2 Vista you will know what I'm talking about. I just want to play Lockout MLG customs like the good ole days. But I can't find anyone who still plays customs regularly! Come on guys, Just get rid of MM and implement the H2V custom games system! It's sooooo much better than matchmaking because once you get around level 25 it takes for ever to find a game so now I have to quit out of every game right before it's over so my level doesn't go up and I can keep finding games lol...

Respect My Authoritay!

although i didn't play halo 2 much online, it was a good game with a good run. All good things must come to an end though. all i can say is I feel bad for the people who dont have a 360. not the best thing you've done bungie but they have there reasons.

Would Bungie have much influence if Microsoft decides to shut down the H2 servers?

360 went on sale in 2005 - plenty of time to get one

Xbox Classic went on sale 2001 and ceased in 2006 - time to upgrade is now

Halo 2 Nov 2004 - that's a pretty good run for a game that will soon have 2 successors. Yes there are longer playing online games but the business has to move on at some point. 2,000 users online is not a lot of people that are being catered for. Just

I have a 360 and like a whole bunch of people I got the dreaded 3RROD and some online friends I know have had to send theirs in 2, 3 & 4 times.

Maybe some people just chose not to buy a shakey piece of electronics or maybe they chose PS3 or some such and there was still H2.
