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

You can still play it on the PC.

I like pie.

I wish that I was allowed to own it when LIVE still existed, now I need to obtain a copy for PC, as I need to do with Halo 1 as well, at least the PC servers will never shut down.

I kinda wish Microsoft would do something like one week a year in which they brought back Halo 2.... That would be awesome!

!! Halo Till I Die !!

I agree bud, it brought me years of great gaming and led me to have good xbox live friends from all corners of the pond who are all still with me now :)...R.I.P Halo 2 online..

Halo 2 for Life!

I think I speak for everyone that loved H2 and its sweet to god goodness by saying bring it back. Bring the best game in the history of gaming back. Bring what made you and Microsoft so good.

The loss to the community can't be measured, I'm seeing it in alot of forms and it pains me to know that alot of the negativity by the community could have been avoided if, the halo online community was still active, full, and complete.

I know its a shot in the dark putting this message here, but if one sees this and causes them to respond than maybe we can get a movement going to get H2 back for the next generation of system.

  • 10.02.2010 11:20 PM PDT

I only played a few multiplayer games for H2 and I regret that my team lost on my last match.

  • 10.04.2010 4:07 PM PDT

Precision is everything. Don't back down.

The lights are out, forever. Greatest game of all time. -blam!- you, Microsoft. Thanks for ruining it you money-hungry bastards.

  • 10.05.2010 8:43 PM PDT

that is some major BS because if it says xbox live compadable it should always be playable thats false advertisment

I'm truly going to miss H2. This game was what made most of us into gamers. H2 is the founding father of xbox live and the savior of the Xbox. Without halo, Microsoft probably would have dropped the xbox all together and MLG may have never even existed Yet, Microsoft got lucky and Bungie published a game which would revolutionize competitive gaming. I'll miss the unique game play, I'll miss the glitches, I'll miss the clutch moments, and I will miss those garage lans with my friends back in high school. H3 is a good game but H2 has something that it doesn't. I remember watching MLG back in the H2 days and being on the edge of my seat while watching Shockwave quad-shot Walshy with no shield on P2 and hear the crowd go completely nuts. Sadly, Watching H3 MLG is almost boring. The crowd doesn't seem as focused on the match anymore. There were no dull moments in H2. At any second one quick BXR or one well placed double shot could turn the tide of a match. That is what binded people to it and made it so addicting. Everyone could contest that Halo 2 wasn't just another video game. It created a thriving community, completely reforged the video gaming industry, inspired millions, and brought with it friendships that all of us will carry on for years to come. I will really miss Halo 2 and everything that it brought with it

Wow this guy is so right! It was such an amazing game for all those reasons! It had something that Halo 3 and Reach just doesn't give, it was just an unbelieveable game and can't believe I can't play it anymore! I want to play it right now while I'm writing this!

Every day I wonder to myself if Bungie will re-release Halo 2 on 360 or do something so we can all play online multiplayer again cos I don't think any game will ever satisfy me after playing Halo 2 for so long!

Sad Times!

War.
War never changes.

I have a solution.

Bungie could re-create Halo 2 for XBox360,
but let someone ELSE run the servers
other then the Microwh0res.
Really.

Why would you shut down the GREATEST GAME'S SERVERS.
I don't own an original XBox.
My dad does. I own Halo 2, and my friends and I would always have them over and we'd play full matches System-link style.
The campaign was tied with Halo CE's, and its multiplayer is better then any other game's multiplayer in the history of gaming. Halo Reach has customization, Halo 3's got more games, and Call of Duty is face-paced, but Halo 2 has something no other game does.
It's like playing... Super Mario.
You don't play it because it's new or hot or because its graphics, but because it's great to bring back the times, and it's special.
Not because it's new.
Not because it's expensive.
Not because it's the most popular.
Because it's amazing.

Halo is one of my favorite games ever since I was 10 -Bear
Flaming Ninja

Wow I'm actually heart broken on this, I still remember waiting in line back when GameStop was EBgames think I was 10 or 11 back then in the mall in Dover Delaware, they had, had a tournament on I think October 'Play halo 1 and get a position in line for Halo 2 release night.' It was the only way to get in the release I came in third because the guy next to me didn't show up I told the host to turn his remote and account off but he didn't listen; so the guy who won came in first from killing him repeatedly. (he was sitting one chair from me screen peeping the bottom screen in witch the guy who should have showed should have been playing.)

I stayed up that whole night on its release my first match was on beaver creek on xboxlive back when my name you see before you now had 2004 at the end of it I sucked then but got better and better its what made me a gamer if not for my cousin lending me xbox original and copy of his halo 1 I think I'd still be playing Nintendo games and what they are today. I made loads of friends through this game still remember my friend wanting to 1vs1 me and I creamed him twice on beaver creek at his house 25 to 0.

-10/10/2010 I was shopping in Bestbuy and was looking in computer games I picked up both halo and halo2 pc games, now I just wish that halo 2 logo would appear in my reach nameplate options list.

This sucks so much I never got to play Halo 2 online because I only just got xbox live. I played a lot of campaign and splitscreen though and wish I could of experienced the online of this amazing game. Could Microsoft make a multiplayer only version of this game on XBLA.
