Subject: Halo 2 Made Xbox Live

The day Halo 2 came out, I believe that Xbox Live changed forever. I don't even know, but I'm guessing ~80+% of Xbox Live Subscriptions the next few years were solely from the release of Halo 2. Much of what was put in, is standard in today's shooters.

Matchmaking, matching players based off of skill level, was born then. I wanted to see if anyone agrees that Halo 2 revolutionized Xbox Live, for what it is today.

Even when the 360 came out, it was the most played game on Xbox Live for quite a long time I do believe.

Hell yeah! Online gaming on consoles wouldn't be nearly as big without Halo 2!

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Halo 2 didn't budge till Gears of War came two years later. And even then, if I remember right, Halo 2 remained in the top ten most played games on live until Halo 3 came.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

Yes, Halo 2 made Xbox Live, but Halo CE made the Xbox.
