Halo 2 wasn't just popular, it was popular for years - Jaime Griesemer (Gameplay Design Lead)

Playing Halo 2 last time, like the good old times when you first playing LIVE. But you can always play LAN with your buddies :)

Sending out with a bang...

I laugh at your pitifall attempts to defeat me!

I never had LIVE until the 360 so I never got to take Halo 2 online (had great amounts of fun offline, though, with friends). However, upon learning I could take it online via the 360 (why I didn't think to try this I don't know) I gave it a whirl last night and I had a great time. Been playing it this morning, too. I got a bit messed up with the X button thing, and pressing Y to duel-wield but it was all good. All those classic maps.

I was woundering if they can make the playlist not require the map packs because my xbox will not download the map packs correctly, I get a Istallation error every time i try so could the make the playlist basic maps please?

I'm sad. Online matchmaking is how I play, can't LAN.

It's been a great time. I hope Reach can top off the Halo series with another hit.

We say goodbye to halo 2 now and look forward to halo reach later.

Bungie, you've made such a great series of games, I don't know how I could repay other than playing them as much as possible! I will miss this game's online play dearly but there is more fun to come with the upcoming Halo: Reach. I loved Halo 2 and I always will, peace out :)

Same. Just as we have discovered Halo 2 online it is going to be taken away from us in less than 24 hours.

Sad to see it go tonight.

Mostly Harmless

That's me done. It's half past midnight here and I'm hanging after three nights on the trot on Halo 2. What a fantastic game when you consider it's a last gen title, it still rocks and shows a thing or two to quite a few current games.

Thanks for everything Bungie, it's been emotional.

As of 8:00 Pm EST V1 XBL is down... Rest in Peace Halo 2

Still playing into the morning, until the end.

Still on and strong in BTB, my all time favorite and most played Halo 2 playlist...The -blam!- memories and the happiness of this is just overwhelming, but it is bittersweet...

We all know, those 500 of us left, that when tonight ends, we will probably never be able to play halo 2 online again on xbox 360...

  • 04.15.2010 7:30 PM PDT

looks like the xbox live team threw the switch. it wont let me sign into halo 2 anymore :(

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
