Goodbye Halo 2, but not forever.

I think we'll see a HD upgraded port of Halo 2 on 360 (or its successor) in the future, although not for several years.

If we're lucky it might even come before 2020... Untill then people can learn to love H2 vista ~runs~

It would be nice to see a Halo 2 multiplayer port on the Xbox Live Arcade similar to the original Doom (and all the other id games). I know Doom was probably a much easier game to port, but...we'll see what happens in the future.

Bungie isn't doing this, Mircosoft is.

I solve practical problems.

I, sadly enough, was one of the idiots who bought Halo 2 last year after randomly seeing it it on a store shelf and not finding the multiplayer disk with it for me to buy. Meaning I can't play on LIVE anyway. Guess I won't be able to make it to the party.

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

the maps are back up though.

This is the game that lured me from the Playstation franchise, and one of the major reasons I bought a 360 in 2007. This game sparked a revolution in gaming, and although I am sad to see it go from XBL, I hope that whatever upgrades that Microsoft will add to LIVE will be worth it.

RIP

Exactly what I was thinking. I can only hope to see Halo 2 multiplayer come back in some form other than the PC. I don't even know if my laptop will support Halo 2 on Vista without it being laggy as all hell.

I've been playing H2 for over 5 years now >.<
Well, Bungie cant really do anything.
Microsoft will pwn the servers, and Bungie cant handle hosting without being pressured/sued by bill gates.
Sad to see it go. Oh well.`

Gamer, artist, anime-lover.

I'll be on that day, but I will probably have my ass handed to me worse than I normally do at H3. LOL! XD

Bill Gates doesn't work for Mircosoft anymore.

nnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt there some way they can make it work on the new 360 live network?

  • 02.13.2010 9:51 PM PDT

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

Good-bye Halo 2 XBL. I wish I knew you better.

Speak softly, and carry a big stick. -Theodore Roosevelt-

its a sad day when M$ gets rid of probably the best game ever made for the xbox. I'll miss the online gameplay dearly and after having several accounts just for this game it greatly saddens me. since i don't have halo 2v i probably won't be playing this game online after april 15. but i will have the best 1 player campaign ever to sustain me and our priceless LAN parties are now even more priceless. anyone who wants to get some custom games together message Weasel93950 on the weekends and we'll tear it up my fellow Halo 2 fans!

and yes this p***es me off just like the rest of you are.

  • 02.13.2010 11:30 PM PDT

Halo 3 for PC.

Bungie or M$ could learn to support Halo 2 Vista. lol.

  • 02.15.2010 12:19 AM PDT

I'm a blimp...

Louie, student. Film buff, anime fan and video game enthusiast. If you want to play me online, just ask :D

It sucks to see it go.

Hopefully Halo 2 will see an XBLA HD remake though, fingers crossed anyway.

They already said sometime ago they will never do this.

  • 02.16.2010 4:48 PM PDT

THIS!! please put halo 2 on the 360 arcade with multiplayer.. the other 2 Halo games are on the dashboard, Halo 2 should be too!!!

  • 02.17.2010 12:25 AM PDT

who said they would never do this?

this is -blam!- up.. how could they not put a game that made them so much $$ and had sooo many people playing it on the 360 dashboard at least (with MP of course) but they put tons of other retarded -blam!- in the arcade that NO ONE EVER BUYS OR PLAYS. maybe instead if getting rid of the halo 2 servers they could rid that dahsboard of some of the worthless -blam!- that's on it

  • 02.17.2010 1:00 AM PDT

Halo 3 for PC.

They should upgrade Halo 2 with Halo 3's features, but keep style of gameplay.

Then it wouldnt be halo 2. It would be halo 2 1/2 then.
