Subject: Your emblem... It will be rare.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Once Halo 2 is taken offline, you will be unable to edit your Halo 2 Emblem, forever. As a result, whatever emblem you have will be very rare to get. At some point before Halo 2 goes offline, everyone should make sure they change their emblems to something that's unique to them. It will stay with you forever and will never change.

What emblems do you guys want to part with?

Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

That's a good point. But perhaps Bungie will knock down their back-end support for the game once it goes off Live? It's also possible it will be impossible for them to snag the emblems once the service gets shut down (during XBL downtimes, emblems aren't displayed).

I'll have to think up a good one in the next few weeks.

R.I.P. Halo 2

- B( )B

I will be using the same emblem that I have always used in Halo 2. April 15th will be a sad day. And not just because it's tax day.

Stosh said in a post that once the servers go down, you won't be able to change your emblem, but it will still be there. So in case anyone is wondering if you can't use it on Bungie.net, you still can.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I can't believe they're really taking it off. Halo 2 was basically what made Live a success in the first place. It was what gave life to Live, and now it's going. Damn you Microsoft, where's the sentiment!?

Anyway, to not get off topic... I never got to play it online on my own console under my own gamertag. I think I will before it goes offline just because I don't want to have never had a Halo 2 game played on my GT. My emblem will be the default green squares as always.

This is the emblem I've had for several years playing Halo 2. But it is not very rare. I can make it in Halo 3 as well. That sucks. This is what I've been sporting for years.
