I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I think I'm going to cry.

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.

I'll be playing halo 2 again for old times sake and I look forward maybe seeing some bungie employees getting on to say their good byes to their beloved game on xbox live... :(

Why would they do this?

These are sad times but i feel its needed for the world of gaming to move forward!!

This was the game that brought me to the halo series!

Epic!!

Are you ready?

Wha- NOOOOOOOO!
To know Halo 2 won't be there anymore is crushing... ok maybe not... crippling... no, wait... painful, to say the least
I don't think I'll be able to play on the 14th, it would be too bad knowing it would be the last time. Ah, memories...
~RIP Halo 2~

Sad to see the legend that is Halo 2 go down for good. At least we'll still have H2 Vista to enjoy.

Also, there's one thing I've been wondering since this news broke. Will Bungie.net keep our Halo 2 stats on record still? Or will Halo 2 being offline mean there's no point in keeping them saved?

I hope gamertag names that are inactive or were never migrated to a Xbox 360 console will become available to use after this. As for Halo 2, I had a lot of fun playing and there were a lot of good memories. I'm excited for future updates to Xbox LIVE.

What spectagon are you in?

Noo halo2.

Signatures are for squares.

What the hell is Microsoft thinking discontinuing original xbox support?

If Halo 2 servers are being shut down for Vista as well....I'll RAGE.

  • 02.05.2010 10:14 AM PDT

Halo 2 has left me far too many good memories. It is a sad day to see it come to an end in multiplayer.

Screw Microsoft and Love Bungie. :)

  • 02.05.2010 10:15 AM PDT

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I got on a couple days ago, had a lot of fun. Definitely playing more, before the end... :'(

  • 02.05.2010 10:16 AM PDT

Aww.

So I guess this is for Matchmaking and Customs... XLink and XBC are going to be popular with some people!

I wonder if there's going to be a huge switchover to Halo 2 Vista after this...?
