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

Very sad news.. Halo 2 made Xbox Live in what it is today and sucks to see it go.

Well, at least we still have Halo 2 Vista.

Glad I recently got Halo 2 Vista.

People need to spread the word through xbox live. I suggest changing your bio to something to get people playing halo 2 until April 15th when it goes down for good.

My weapon of choice is the warthog (Driving); I'm one of the best drivers out there, so if i get my hand on a vehicle, you're going to wish i hadn't XD

April 20th I became one of the final 30 people to play Halo 2 online. Unfortunately I was kicked by Microsoft that day.

This is my back up bungie account as my normal one is currently going mental. -Exile James.

the 15th will be a sad day then. unless they put halo 2 on the arcade people will get very angry.

Well now it's obvious that the Reach beta will be out by then!
At least, now Microsoft could extend the friend list count if they wanted to.

Meh, we always must progress.
Sad to see such a perfect game finally bow out, but we now must hope for an amazing Reach.

You guys didn't expect them to run Halo 2 for the next 542 years did you?

I guess the the rest of my free time for the next two months will be dedicated to Halo 2.

Much Love Halo 2

Well this is unfortunate. I've always wanted to try out Halo 2's multiplayer since I joined Xbox live a few months after Halo 3 came out. I've always put it off, saying that I could do it later. Well now I'm going to have to stop procrastinating and spend these ten weeks - my first and last ten weeks of Halo 2 online- playing it.

Actually, this makes me think the reach beta will come after that date.

If the beta came out close to or around the week of Halo 2's demise, then they could run some cool promos and get people pumped for the beta. "Halo 2's gone but look at our next game! BOOM!"

Just a thought.

-blam!-

Oh my god. I don't play original Xbox games on Live anymore, but this must be pretty devastating for those who do. All I can hope for is that this is a move for MS to save money so they don't have to raise the Live fee, which has been rumored for a while now.

I though that too, but it seems that April is too far off.
From all the Reach info that has been released, I feel that it will be coming somewhere around late March.

Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

If not, then yes, the beta right after wards makes sense.

You will be missed.

H2 changed my life.
I mean that.
It's been incredible playing Halo on xbl.

Gonna be strange knowing that it's over.
Not many words can express my feelings since I've never felt them before...

But I'm serious, Halo changed my life... For the better :)

  • 02.05.2010 3:55 PM PDT

Don't Pm me for groups, Cheers!

I don't believe it.
I'm going to be on Halo 2 for the next few months.

Wow ... it's like someones getting old and nearing the end of its life.

On the upside ... I think Halo 2 (PC) will still have online play. Aswell as achievements.

  • 02.05.2010 3:59 PM PDT

don't take me too seriously..


<3

Halo 2 had the best online multiplayer of its generation. I'll be there for the last night of XBL.

  • 02.05.2010 4:05 PM PDT

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion

Even if Microsoft didn't own Halo, you still wouldn't be able to play it, you wont be able to play any original Xbox games on live, not just Halo.

  • 02.05.2010 4:10 PM PDT

Tri§10

The explanation is that Microsoft wants to upgrade the live system and cannot do this due to limitations in the old system. An example of one of these limitations is only being able to have 100 friends. I read an article a while back that explained the reason you cant have more than 100 friends on your 360 is because of the 100 friend limit on the original Xbox.

Well this is extremely saddening news. I love halo 2. This was almost as shocking as when Monster Hunter for the ps2 had it's online capabilities taken down. Both very sad days indeed.

Get WorkPLaced!!

I'll be there, after hearing this I jumped on Halo 2 today and played a few matches after waiting forever to get matched up, good times.
