Subject: Questions about Halo 2 and Disabled Xbox Live

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I know they they are deciding to cancel Halo 2's XBL. I wanted to know a few things.

1. Can I still have friends comes to my party on my xbox 360 and play custom games with friends over XBL?

2. Can I play XBL On the original xbox even after the closing date?

the answer is no and no. the only way to play original xbox games online is through a third party such as xbconnect or kia xlink. halo 2 for windows vista will be uneffected by the april 14 shut down date. with out the server all xbox original xbox games will not work on live includeing halo2. sorry to inform you about that. xbox 360 games are uneffected though.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Dude, because it has been announced. Xbox Live service for all Orignal Xbox games will be disabled. So how can you have friends come to your party and play customs when there is no Live? Your questions have already been answered back when they announced the shut down.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

All live for original xbox will be shut down. So basically no customs through live, no xbox v1 marketplace, etc.

Xbox Live V1 will soon become a forgotten memory.

PILOTS (in unison):
Hoo-rah!

Until the close date (April 15th 2010) you can play HALO 2 on LIVE on your XBOX 360. That is the way I have been playing it since I bought my 360.
