Subject: Halo 2, Xbox LIVE and You

SEng.

While I am feeling nostalgic and remember the hours upon hours played with friends, It was a great run, and as sad as I am to see it go, I am looking forward and hoping that Reach will Wow the world so I can stop playing COD with my friends, and get back to playing Halo.

Good bye Halo2, you will be greatly missed. At least on Xboxlive. Now Halo2PC is going to be sold out everywhere.

A sad day indeed, you should have a giant play date on the 14th like make a big news annoucement and everything to get everyone to play. Still happy Halo 2 Vista will be up and hell I'm sure if MS or 343 will make a 360 port for the game at some point in time, at least I hope...damn you Bungie make them re-release it for 360's Live on games on demand with achievements. I still love playing Halo 2 D:

You make me sad, Microsoft, so very sad.

Halo 2 held great times, I'm gonna hate to see the servers get shut down.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

It's almost time we got Halo 1 and Halo 2 for the Live Arcade.

I really hope that the server sends an automated message to all players online in v1 games just before going down that saysWill I dream...?
That would make it all so much better.

Actually, what would make it better is if they lifted the 33ms ping restriction for LAN connectivity on the 360 so you could play over xlink kai or xbox connect with it. That would be awesome.

Needless to say, I will be playing the -blam!- out of Halo 2 in the coming weeks... months. =)

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Oh man, so many maps I'll never be able to play again. Taken for granted that they'll always be there, now I'm a little bummed and may need to get some serious Halo 2 in before it goes bye bye. It will be missed.

  • 02.05.2010 11:10 AM PDT

Hi! <3

Thank god I appreciated Halo 2 before I ever played it online.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Ashes to Ashes eh...

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

That is such bull-blam!-. I still play Halo 2 with friends, it's my favorite multiplayer of all time, even more so than Halo 3.

-blam!- you, Microsoft.

  • 02.05.2010 11:26 AM PDT

When all else fails, take as many of 'em bastards with ya!!! STICKY

Does this include the one for PC? I just picked it up and was hoping to have some time to play it, but if this also affects the PC version of Halo 2, then darn I need to get moving!

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Now you have to bring Coagulation, Headlong and Waterworks back because we cant just say "go play Halo 2" to people that whine about it.

Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!

PILOTS (in unison):
Hoo-rah!

This announcement took me completely by surprise. I never thought that HALO 2 Multiplayer will be killed this way.

The game still tops the charts on most played XBOX originals. I still liked to play it from time to time just to remember the old times.

I still remember as if it was yesterday, the announcement tatoo and the multiplayer demo with Joe Staten and Max Hoberman. HALO 2 is responsible for 75% of my friends list, people that still play with me on a regular basis. It even had clan support, something still sadly missing on the "new, improved, much better, with little cartoon people" XBOX LIVE we have today. [sarcasm]

I hope that this move improves on what really was in my opinion a revolution in online gaming and allows XBOX LIVE achieve new heights and WOW us again with what Reach will provide us in the future.

I am saddened to see you go old friend XBOX LIVE Original and HALO 2 LIVE. :'(
