I remember on a cold January in 2007 signing in to Xbox Live for the first time and playing Halo 2 online.

Three years later I can still fondly recall that first game. Needless to say, on April 14th, I will most definitely be there to play one of my all-time favourites just one last time.

Sad day for me, I spent a stupid amount of time playing Halo 2 back in the day. Very good memories on this game, had a better time on Halo 2 than any other game ever made.

All of the toils and hardships and labors of our ancestors produced us. We are their greatest creations; we are humanity's finest products. Mass production seems to have made an impact on quality though...

Halo 2 is BA. I hope I didn't delete the maps, gotta go check now.

you should be able to get the maps im guessing solo, even after they close the matchmaking...

even if you cannot download them though there is the disc they sold back after the maps came out with all all the DLC (or at least most of it) for people who didnt have LIVE. if i remember right it came out before the last 2 maps were released so those 2 maps could be lost forever i suppose :(

you can buy the multiplayer map pack disc pretty cheap still online

I used to have the map pack disc, I sold it with my old Xbox and now I'm regretting it cause the tips that show between matches say the maps will no longer be available after the 15th ='( No updates either so my friends who haven't updated it can't play with me. Oh well, we can just clear the update.

So does it end midnight of April 14th or midnight of April 15th?
I'm a little sketchy (pun half intended) on the date.

To the people who were wondering how they will keep their DLC. Put it on a USB drive. That WAS the last update after all. Just make sure to go to each individual pack and click "copy" instead of transfer.

Just remember.

we all rememeber the fond memories we had for it...its almost like losing a dog or cat...all that joy and laughing..and well some anger. not just for the regular players...but for the glitchers, the superjumpers, the modders, the shows created off it, rvb. so sad...well logicaly microsoft should realize that if they released it in arcade, they would make apretty penny...and ill gladly pay it. to keep it alive? heck ya.

Despite it's numerous flaws I still think Halo 2 was the best game in the series so far.

  • 04.14.2010 2:30 AM PDT

Thinking with Portals since '07

Battlefield 3 sucks.

i remember getting it back in '05.
its sad to see its going :'(

Love BTB ? www.ilovebtb.com

I've not played this game so much on Live, but done so many times campaign alone, and split screen with friend for more than 3 years ; and then, i discovered Live, i saw only recently that i won't have time to appreciate Halo2 on Live as i would. So sad !

playing halo 2 right now and rembering how good it is its a sad day ...

  • 04.14.2010 5:02 AM PDT

Goodbye Halo 2, I'll miss you. :(

  • 04.14.2010 5:29 AM PDT

It's upsetting me more than I thought it would. I've been playing Halo 2 for 5+ years. I have my Halo 2 insignia tattooed on my arm. I met my best friend on the game.

Sure I can still play it on PC but it's not the same. The fact that the game I have played and loved the most in my life is coming to an end is a rather depressing thought.

RIP Halo 2.

check out my file share rate them and leave a comment thanks.

Right Here

It's sad to see Halo 2 go away. Halo 2 deserves a honorable retirement with a 21 gun salute.

i'm gonna miss this game :(
this, and halo 1, introduced me to the world of gaming, and were the first two games i ever played.

granted, i've never really properly played halo 2 online, but it's still sad to see such a pivotal game just be shut down.

it's literally, then end of an era.

so halo 2, i bid thee farewell, and shall play you online properly, for the first time, at the last moment possible.

if anyone wishes to join me, my GT is: q RaptorJesus p

Ps. anyone know when bungie will be online, or what GT's they will be using? i know the roosterteeth GT's, but they don't get on until 1AM GMT

  • 04.14.2010 6:49 AM PDT

I'm definitely going to miss this game, even playing now brings back old memories. I grew up on this game and it was an amazing social/competitive experience for me. I remember I was in 7th grade back then and now I'm a senior about to graduate. Thank you Bungie for an amazing game that has never bored me. Halo 2 was and always will be pure gold and an experience I'll never forget. :') ~GT~ Sensei Squushy

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

I still own my map pack disc, ahhhh. I remeber the day it came out, me and 16 friends had a party at my place and we spent the first 2 hours just loading the disc onto 8 Obox's before one of the greatest nights of gaming ever. Saddest part for me about this game being shut down online is that everytime I pop it back in it brings back Soooo many fond memories of years ago. This was probably the game I played the most online for ever and now that I'm older and been slowly fading out of gaming probably for all time. You will have a special place always Halo 2, probably my favorite game of all time...

Betrayal

Well said Baboon, it is definitely tough to see such an important game fade away, i dont think anything else will come close...

I'm hopeful Halo Reach will be as addicting as Halo2

The Fight is Finished and the Road to Recon is behind !

Played for hours yesterday.. this game's still so much fun. Definately jumping tonight for more.
