Furthermore to what Tom said, the reality is that we took the game for granted. Halo 2 wasn't necessarily averaging a healthy amount of people per day online, you know. A lot of the population you see online nowadays is just a chunk of guys and girls hopping on to commemorate its passing ever since the announcement was made. Had we shown such enthusiasm about the title before Microsoft made their final decision, perhaps the outcome would be a little different, but I doubt it.

There's a natural order of things in gaming, a new hotness comes and then over the course of time eventually turns stale due to a replacement. No matter how much the frequenters of this forum dislike it, the cycle really isn't going to make a change. Most of us have enjoyed Halo 2 for nearly six years strong. The game itself exceeded expectations as far as a lifespan goes, and that's something to be astronomically proud of to say that you've been a participant of the long run.

Don't get me wrong, the nostalgic fifteen year old somewhere inside of me that purchased Halo 2 in 2004 wouldn't hesitate to say that this game should stay online for all of eternity. Nevertheless, the time has come. No amount of backbiting at the situation will do any good, even if Microsoft didn't pull the plug the once mentioned "natural order" would kick in. We might as well enjoy the remaining time we have online and support the reoccurring theme of tolerance and acceptance. Besides, there are alternatives (found here) for the hardcore players who itch to get their game on after the global blackout.

Honestly, no I don't. I love Halo 2, ever since I heard it was going offline it is the game that has spent most time in my disk drive, to ensure I make the most of the time that is left. Ultimately, things need to be put in perspective:

All good things come to an end.

Halo 2 for Life!

It's still going to be "online" on XBC. As for XBL, i will miss playing on that service but Halo2 will live on as the best halo game ever produced (from my prospective) no matter what happens to it's online service.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Happy face most of the time :D

Yet I haven't had time to play Halo 2, but I really would like to play it sometimes. Though BR was a little overpowered, it's not ruining the whole game. It's a great game.

Yes it should have stayed online, they should have found a way as it was the best online experience on XBL.
