RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

My last goal in life is to play during the last game of Halo 2.

I was there until the last second. I was playin swords on Turf with one of my friends, and we were kicked out of the game. I knew what had happened.

east coast of US here, and i can no longer access. my last game was about 2.5 hours ago. i wanted to be playing when they shut down, but i had a stupid comp arch lab... i'm so sad right now...

guess i'll be looking into xbconnect.

  • 04.15.2010 6:11 PM PDT

Yeah all of Eastern Coat and some Midwest states are shut down.
My best guess is that the Pacific people will be the last to shut down.
We can all still play Halo 2 by either Halo 2 PC or XB Connect.

I live in California and it won't let me on anymore. The number of players playing is lowering fast. There are currently less than 800 players playing Halo 2 on Live.

  • 04.15.2010 6:26 PM PDT

Halo 2 and battlefront two are a couple of the best games i have ever played its sad to see them go. Guess ill be getting the pc version. thanks xbox original for all the great times i had on your games.

"Believe in yourself and create your own destiny. Don't fear Failure."

I wanted to play to the end but when i got out of school it was already gone. Damn it, I wish i had morning classes now instead of night classes. I had fun still. Best series ever.

I still have not been shut down. 1 out of 307 players still online! I wish i could stay up till they finally shut it off but I have only gotten 4 hours of sleep in past 48 hours. 26 of those hours has been playing H2. So i need sleep.

After playing 6418 online matches, which is around 1800 hours of gameplay, this game has becomae part of my life. Since my very fist game back on Dec 26th 2004 at 12:27pm, every hour I have spent playing this game has been amazing. All the friends I have met, all the glitches that were discovered, and always trying to find ways to get out of maps with friends.. good times!

Im sad to see Xbox Live get shut down for orignal xbox games but im sure its for the greater good. I will still enjoy H2 on PC and look I am looking forward to Halo Reach. Thank You Bungie for making the best original Xbox game available and thanks to all my online friends for making the past 6 years some of the best experiences I have ever had!!

Halo 2 online.. You will be missed..

lol i just thought of this but the last 300 players should get a prize, something called "true spartan," "dining in hell," "warrior of thermopylae" or something.

  • 04.15.2010 11:11 PM PDT

was able to get a last few games in on my original Xbox.
Halo 2 and other XBL 1 games will be missed on Live. It is sad to see this portion of the service gone. I have enjoyed live from the beginning.

Yeah, I'm hoping maybe a few more people will start playing the PC version now... Much as I like Halo 3 better, I still have a lot of fun going back to the older games for a change of pace now and then. And there are still things I miss about Halo 2 (and Halo 1). It's just too bad that Halo 2's PC version didn't turn out better. There might be more people playing it if that had been the case. It's still very playable though, even with it's annoyances. I'd personally rather use it than XBConnect. (although I did try out XBConnect the other day and it does seems interesting enough to mess with)

  • 04.17.2010 11:35 AM PDT

there are still like 36 people online how????? must be bungie or microsoft central or something ivebeen tracking the numbers nonstop for the past 4 days
