Subject: Yes, Another Halo 2 Shut-down Topic

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

I understand that everybody is pissed at Micro$oft for shutting down Halo 2. I am too. We all know that at this point there's not much we can do to stop M$ from pulling the damn plug. Or is there?

But there's one issue that M$ forgot about.

There are still a decent amount of original Xbox games being sold new. Many of those have online play. And you know what? It says so right on the back of the box. Xbox Live enabled.

And once those servers go offline, the words on the box won't reveal this dramatic change in value. It will still say "Xbox Live Enabled."

And that's false advertising.

Sure, there's not many people that still buy original Xbox games, but they exist. Not many, but enough to put together a lawsuit.

It's an easy story. Buy a game that advertises XBL support. Bring it home. Try it out. Discover you can't haz XBL. Try to return it. Get laughed at. Sue the living **** out of Micro$oft.

Now, in this situation, what do you think M$ would do? Plug the servers back in, or make a total recall on every original Xbox game that advertises XBL support, and if they wish to keep making profits off of people who still buy these classics, reprint them with revised box art?

Have hope, my fellow community members.

They'll probably refer you to the part of the contract you sign before going online where they say they can close it at any time, without warning.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

You might want to change your avatar to your Halo 2 Emblem because when it is April 15th You will not be able change it to that, also if you do change it to your Halo 2 Emblem do not change it back because it will dissapper. And if you have your Halo 2 Emblem as your avatar, it will be considered "Ultra Rare."

On topic: Yeah Microsoft has the right ti terminate Xbox Live, heck even nuke your account if they wanted to.

They'll still have to do something about the new original xbox games advertising XBL support.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Look at this:

Bungie doesn't care if it has been shutdown, they are still selling.
Prepare for angry customers, bungie!

MS should release h2pc on GoD.
