If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

Halo 2 Stats

~AFEM

Wait, something just dawned on me.

1. Will Halo 2 be shut down just on the original Xbox? Or on both systems?
2. I'm not sure if the Live functionalities differ between platforms, if they do, wouldn't "Original Xbox Live" being shut down only mean access from the big black behemoth?
3. Also, will this in any way effect Halo 2 Vista?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Both.
2. Original Xbox games played on Live is being shut down so you can't play it on either Xbox or Xbox 360.
3. No.

1) Halo 2 is an original Xbox game, and as such was designed to work with the original Xbox Live servers. Every time you've played the game on your 360, you've been connecting to old servers.

2) No- you're interpreting it wrong. Like I implied above, original Xbox games run on the original servers because those were the only servers in existence at the time. It doesn't matter which console you use- just what game you're using.

3) No, Halo 2 Vista uses dedicated servers- somewhere out there, some dudes are paying some other dudes to host servers. *Cha-ching* for those other dudes.
