Halo 1 never had multiplayer, and Halo 2 has been running for almost 5 years with a successor overtaking it now, there's no need for it to be running anymore.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

CE never had multiplayer.. The PC version still has servers running by players.
And I would wait until you get an official word from Bungie about this. I'm not sure they'll do that...

look at halo forum and you'll see

I heard something about it, but I think they will shut down all the orignal xbox live not only halo 2 server

This looks pretty legit. Could be fake, but it makes sense.

That makes no sense. Halo 3's MP and ODST's MP are the same. Therefore, there will still only be 2 Halo titles on LIVE.

Also, Halo CE's multiplayer >>>>>>>>>> Halo 2's multiplayer.

Microsoft's reasoning is that the majority of Halo fans will be playing either ODST or Halo 3.

  • 08.14.2009 3:26 AM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

Meh. I thought it didn't run on servers anyway, and that's a pretty lame excuse.

Doesn't affect me, since my Halo 2 disc is too badly scratched and I'd rather NOT be playing a game which still, somehow, has a crapload of online mods being used.

Unlikely, as there'll definitely be some to take offence, but it all boils down to what do you want: more friends, or Halo 2?


More friends, yay! =]

Um okay; what's with the edit to my name?

"If you push this button. Someone. Somewhere will die.

BUT.

You will, hey wait! Didn't you wanna hear what you'd get first!"

With halo 2 out though Microsoft can start adding to XBox Live. It's required to make some updates sooner or later. Yeah right. Sure Microsoft. But I guess we gotta say they're right, like we have a choice. With Halo 2 out of the way Microsoft will be forced to give us more friends. That I still won't use.

I can only describe this as a catastrophic fail. Halo 2 had the best maps, and now I can't play them. This gives me an epic sadface.

  • 08.14.2009 4:16 AM PDT

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Oh boo hoo. Halo 2 died off long ago when it was overconsumed with button glitches. I say get reid of the old, make way for the new!

Just because something is old doesn't automatically make it bad.

Halo 2 was, and still is, a great game.

As sad as it makes me to say this, I agree. Halo 2 isn't even fun to play online anymore because of an insane amount of glitches, online mods, and the fact that its become extremely unbalanced. I miss playing it like crazy like when it first came out but now I can't go one game without getting bxr'ed repeadedly, having everyone quit out on me, or getting killed by some dude who has a pistol that shoots warthogs.

  • 08.14.2009 5:29 AM PDT

Well if you read it on the internet it must be true!

No. I will not be trusting any source except Bungie.net on that one because, simply put, it makes no sense to discontinue it! ODST doesn't even have MM for one. And people still play Halo 2. I mean really: Just yesterday a bunch of us Mythics got together for a Halo 2 gamenight. Played some BTB and Blood gulch customs. It was great!

CURSE YOU, Microsoft.
I enjoyed Halo 2's multiplayer even more than Halo 3's.
Now you're taking it down?!
Still ain't playing Halo 3's matchmaking, I'd sooner stick with my custom games. In fact, I think it's time to brush some dust off my old Halo CE disc, wouldn't you agree?

I really despise Microsoft. Why don't we start a petition to keep it going?

Far, far from it, my friend. Halo 2 is still going strong to this very day. The other day I played some matchmaking in Team Slayer and Snipers. I managed to get into a match no problem. Halo 2 has much better maps, Bungie now has no excuse. They NEED to make Blood Gulch for Halo 3, as we don't even have one to play online with now.
