I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I agree in a way. Although I haven't played Halo 2 in a while, I have to admit, thanks to MS I actually started to play again. However, now I don't want to lose it.

I'm mixed with feelings, but I know for certain, that I did not get anything for playing. I lost a game that I actually started to enjoy again for nothing.

Are you saying you would have preferred it if they sent out nothing?

Who knows, everyone may like whatever it is they wanna do but can't once they shut down the original xbox side of things. Nobody knows for sure what they are planning to do, everything is just rumors right now.

As far as the live and points give away thing goes, they are doing it til April 17th, and nobody knows how many people are getting it. For every person that does that's $25 out of Microsoft's pockets and into someone elses. That is a lot of money even if they only do it for 100,000 people.

theyre shuting it down so we can have over 100 friends, because original games cant support over 100 friends. comon whos gonna have over 100 friends?


I have yet to see anything official from Microsoft saying this. I also haven't seen anything official about what they are planning to do after the shut down.

I have heard several rumors though. It's because of project natal, they are bringing back clan lists, it will raise the cap for multiplayer games past 18 people, it will allow games to find matches faster, it will cut down on lag, it will stop cheaters, etc.

Nothing has been confirmed or denied yet so I personally am in a wait and see mode when it comes to this.

Well I dont think its 25$ considering you get the beta, which, take what you will for it. It could be an early code or just a code in general, which I wouldnt mind I'd give it to one of my friends whose a hardcore halo fan, just didnt have the money to buy ODST.

At least you got something. I hope you realize that when something gets old, the company won't buy it back. It was a kind thing to do. I was really shocked. Bungie really has big pull at microsoft. If they can get the most money tight company ever to part with free service for tons of players that is amazing. The beta will come. Don't whine. If it doesn't we can file a class action lawsuit and get money out of it if they don't.

Sadly the day they made the announcement was the day I found halo 2 again. I didn't have live way back then so now I am being immersed in the maps and gameplay. It is tons better than halo 3 in terms of maps. The only thing halo 3 has better is graphics, forge, theatre, and custom game types. If you think you have it bad, think of how I found halo 2 again on the annoucement date, oh yeah april 15 is my birthday too. So kind of sad. I played hours and hours of campaign and hours and hours of custom games with friends. I really loved the game. But I only hope they rebirth it by making a halo 2 map pack for reach if possible.

I will also likely share out my code since I have ODST. Actually I might just sell my ODST. yeah thats what I'll do. Don't really need it anymore. got most of the achievements. Anyhow...

I hope they rebirth halo 2 in someway especially multiplayer.

Thank bungie, don't hate on microsoft. Microsoft, is and always will be a money sucking evil empire using honest people as puppets. I really can't afford $30 in map packs this time around. I really can't.

Totally agree. I would like to start a riot, but I have a feeling it would end up like this: http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/gallery/090603/ GAL-09Jun03-2130/media/PHO-09Jun03-164303.jpg

i doubt were gonna get the beta, and 400 ms points is 5 bucks and 3 months is worth 20. so were worth 25 bucks. wow, just wow. they take away the best game ever made and we get 25 bucks. plus not everyone got it, wow Microsoft is really really Micro$oft.
i really am in favor of the bungie box now, take away microsofts chain of oppression and give us a network of games that will never shut down EVER! oh and sense this forum is bacicly dead, i doubt this will get 7 posts. lol

I have heard several rumors though. It's because of project natal, they are bringing back clan lists, it will raise the cap for multiplayer games past 18 people, it will allow games to find matches faster, it will cut down on lag, it will stop cheaters, etc.

Nothing has been confirmed or denied yet so I personally am in a wait and see mode when it comes to this.

Those are all great improvements, but I don't understand why they can't just create an updated Live for their newer games while keeping the original Live intact as a separate service.

  • 03.14.2010 7:00 PM PDT

iSnipeProductions is on it's way.

I hope they rebirth halo 2 in someway especially multiplayer.

Well, i talk to Xbox Customer Support and one of the Higher Ups of Micro$oft called me back. I talked to him awhile about why they were shutting down Xbox Originals and i asked him if they would ever release Halo 2 as an arcade game on the dashboard. He said yes. Because most Xbox Originals that have gotten canceled why players are still online. Become arcade games.
