I personally dont know what I'm going to do, but in an ideal world I would go to sleep and forget about it, but I think I will accept it (and then figure out how to play on XBC).

H2 was a know quanity of fun for me since it came out on November 9th 2004 and i could always rely on it. Not having it at my finger tips will be a sad day and I hope everyone realizes what it has meant to them and/or the gaming community to have had halo 2 on XBL, when it goes offline on April 15, 2010.

There is a typo in my poll do to a spell check correction that went wrong (relive should be Realize).

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

Here is an idea:

How about go outside more?

Halo 2 for Life!

To sappy for you lol. Man halo2 is the best, and will always be the best (to me). Regardless if i can play it on XBL or not. If you weren't there at the begging you probably dont realize the fun everyone was having (this type of fun didn't occur for me in halo3 or odst or even halo the original).

Halo2 has sustained that fun level for me consistently and therefore for me it's the greatest game of all time, and is the best halo game of all time, regardless what the future has in store for halo2 (and I will continue to be a loyal fan to halo2 and play it on XBC).

I think "take a walk at midnight" is a good paradigm for this game going offline.

  • 03.18.2010 1:11 PM PDT

Deny it.

RIP Halo 2

I'm probably gonna put my xbox back in its box. I had pretty much already quit playing Halo 3 when they announced the shutting down of Halo 2's live. When I heard about that, I started playing Halo 2 again. But after that, I'm done. Retiring from Halo. It's been all downhill since Halo 3 came out. So after April 15th, I will bid Halo adieu. It's been good to me for the past 8 and a half years. It's gonna be a little sad.

It's sad ofcourse, but you could consider buying Halo 2 for the PC. It has Achievements if you link it to your Gamertag and it has new maps.

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

and the PC version can easily be updated, to include more features, like co-op modes, and more gametypes, that is if Bungie/Microsoft even cares.

That moment will be a cold, dark, and scary one.

I don't even want to think about it.

I will be really sad. I won't cry though because I very rarely cry.

Halo 2 for Life!

I'm surprised that no ones picked:

Nothing, just nothing (didn't have an effect)
or
Go to sleep, forget about it all.

Is anyone else surprised by this?

I picked that. I've been playing a bit of H2 before they shut it down but Halo 3's a better game. I won't miss Halo 2 when it's gone, hell, I hadn't played it for 3 years before this week.

nothing.

because there is nothing you can do. Oh well, they shut the servers off, we knew it would happen, and just time to move on.

No, you can do something! You can show your support for halo2 by playing it, posting here on the forum ect, you can show that their is a market for halo2 gamers.

If bungie or whoever owns Halo2, sees alot of people behind and enjoying and supporting halo2, they might find away to bring it back to XBL in the future.

If we do not support halo2 as a community then yes, halo2 will forever be gone from XBL but I think we will see halo2 again on XBL as i think the community wants this (even though it has to go for the moment it is possible).

Then again it might not occur and that is fine as well (but we should still try to support it). Just like our cries for an update for halo2 wasn't acted apon (it was heard, and consideration was put into it because we supported it and asked for it as a community).

And no halo3 isn't better it's newer, dont make the mistake of thinking new things are better, they are different, they have better graphics, but that doesn't make them better.

Halo 2 for Life!

I'm finding these results surprising. Any one else? I was expecting more accept it answers, then get sad answers. Also more deny it and take a walk at midnight answers.

Also here are few more great halo2 videos, to help remember the good times.
