1. Have halo 2 be buyable much like halo 1 on the xbox 360 marketplace including the game and all the map packs.(Plus achievements)

2. Just sell the multiplayer for halo 2 on the marketplace with all the map packs so that we can still play

3. If you are frusterated at parts of halo 2, maybe give halo reach a map pack with remastered versions of the best maps in halo 2. Much like zanzibar and coagulation's revamps in halo 3 as last resort and vahalla.

4. Have a new remastered version of halo 2(and maybe halo 1) as a disk game with improved graphics(to a degree), and include multiplayer similar to the ODST game where the multiplayer is a whole new disk and the campaign is another disk. Gives the possibility to change some game mechanics too.

5. A huge halo multiplayer experience where we get the best maps from all the halo games as one multiplayer pack that piggybacks on halo 3 matchmaking with all halo 3 maps and the best maps of halo 2 remade. Buyable as a disk.

6. If you have an idea go ahead and post it

7. I have to admit that nothing is what is likely going to happen. I just really want to play those halo 2 maps more.

8. I think Reach should be great enough we won't be sad anymore about letting go of a videogaming icon.

Please don't hate. These are just some ideas, from the safe ideas to the extreme. Without extreme ideas thomas edison wouldn't have harnessed electricity. Think about that one.

I'm just really going to miss Halo 2, it was the first game I ever played on LIVE, I think I'm just going to get it for PC. But it won't be same, I used to love glitching with my friends on Halo 2 for hours at a time. I have so many memories from the game, it's a shame that they're taking LIVE away from it.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

I'd definitely prefer a Halo 2 reincarnation in the Xbox Marketplace as long as it had Live functionality.

RIP Halo 2

I love Halo 2, and I'm sad to see it go. But I don't think there's really much to do. The fact of the matter is, it's never going to be like it was before Halo 3, which is the way we remember it best. I think we should just give it a good sendoff, and let the memories live on. There'll never be another game that I'll have that much fun with, and I've accepted the fact that is going away. It was a long time coming, it had a great run, and I think it's better to let it go. It would honestly make me sad watching it try to live on through the marketplace.

Halo 2 for Life!

I didn't vote as i'm going to play on XBC. I dont think the multplayer can be recreated at least not for the 360 (possibly in the future). But i will see, as i'm really going to look at the new systems (when they arrive) from xbox and playstation (as i was disappointed with xbox's decision to pull the plug on it's previous game titles on XBL).

As much as we love the game, we still don't play it barely.
You all know we all play Halo 3. Just the fact it's shutting down, is the only reason we've been putting our Halo 2 discs in. And one Reach comes, we might as well just trash H2.

Sure Halo 2 was a great game. It brought much fun for the 5 years it dominated xbox live. But face it. No one really plays anymore, except people with regular xboxs, and I feel sad for them.

I say end Halo 2 with a BANG.

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.

Just play halo 2 vista, or use xbox connect or xlink kai to play halo 2 online with friends. Problem solved.
