I will be there. Looking forward to 8v8... took your podcast advice and logged on and reloaded all the maps on Monday night.

Try re-downloading them. Mine came up as "corrupted", so I just loaded over them, and it worked fine after that.

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

I meant good maps

Those new "Did you know?"s are hilarious.

"Woosh! You know what would make this game more awesome? Jetpacks!"

I never played Halo 2 online much, but I'll still miss the few times I played at my friend's houses.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

I'm not sad that Halo 2 is ending. After playing Halo 3, Halo 2 matchmaking is more frustrating than enjoyable. No amount of nostalgia can make SMG starts and one BR to rule them all fun.

Shucks! I've been playing all day hoping to meet up with some Bungie Employee, haha. Oh well- perhaps I'll get lucky later (lolwat?). Oh well. 'Other prizes' you say? the common thought seems to be that anyone who plays gets something in Reach, and the people lucky enough to either get in a game with Bungie or meet some criteria get something ELSE in Reach. This has made me think something different. If I "win"... I'd like me a custom BUNGLE T-Shirt (I can't figure out how to make the one I made) or a trip to PAX, hahaha. Of course, something in Reach would be sweet too! I wonder if we'd get this cool bonus in the beta too. Hmm.

But today has been fantastic. Great fun. I'm so glad I got on today. I'm not even bummed that I've been playing roughly 5 hours or so in vain. It has been a blast and I will miss this dearly. Rest in piece, Halo 2. I could not have picked a better day to catch the flu, letting me stay home.

See you on the battlefield, Spartans! (And Elites)

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

Today should be great fun, but Halo 2 will be greatly missed. I hope some of the great maps that will no longer be around might be reimagined somehow for future games.

See you on the battlefield, Seventh Column. One last time.


You say the old girl is going out? Well lets send her out the right way.

THIS is the way the world ends, not with a whimper, but a bang. -Bungie

oo-rah.

Yikes, just noticed I have 7777 kills in Halo 2. I probably shouldn't play anymore and hope for a prize from one of the metrics, but man, I'm gonna miss this game too dang much. I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from playing some more when I get home from work tonight.
Edit: and now the wife's in the hospital with an pregnancy related overnight issue, so that's where I'll be tonight. Hope everyone else has a blast! Glad I got to play a little this afternoon. Again, Halo 2, you will be missed.

Are the servers shuting down on pc as well?
I would play tonight but unfortunatily i don't have halo 2 on xbox but hope you have a great night!

  • 04.14.2010 12:48 PM PDT

Damn you Microsoft. Why did you have to take such a great game and unLIVE it? I don't care if its stopping us from having over 100 friends, Halo 2 is worth it.

  • 04.14.2010 12:51 PM PDT

i need some sleep.....

i hate bees...

no rest for the weary...

Oh man guys, this really is bringing all the memories back. From playing online with my friends everyday, to starting our clan... good times.... man I even remember the great forum exodus when halo 2 videos were leaked before it was released!

  • 04.14.2010 12:51 PM PDT

Gonna play this now... only bought it when halo 3 was out (never had an xbox) so it will weird, bit annoyed MS are closing live... makes you think will they do that with the 360? Well Reach looks amazing so one game is ending and another starts

  • 04.14.2010 12:54 PM PDT

Buh-bye Halo 2 matchmaking. :/
I'm all sadfaece today.

Next month will make me happy faece again though.

Remember Harvest, Remember Reach!

Remember:
"HALO" never die, we will just miss the action^^

I hate to live in germany, stupid time zones!

R.I.P Halo 2 :(

  • 04.14.2010 1:02 PM PDT

Those who die, will live,
those who live, will die

Do you know if you ahve to play it inbetween 6-11 to get recognised for the 'special flair'? I've just been playing 3 hours before this time, UK, and apprently it will start at 2am GMT for me, which is too late :(

Or do we get the prizes if we played outside the 6-11 time frame too?

wow, Halo 2 was such a great game..so many good memories. I love this game! So sad to see it go.

Bungie, please add some more interactive maps in Reach. I got killed by a train today, and it was awesome! Add more of that stuff!

By the way, what time do the servers shut down?

  • 04.14.2010 1:16 PM PDT

Halo 2 will never die! Even after tomorrow I'll still play it whenever the mood strikes me on PC. The Windows version keeps getting overlooked. FYI: It's under $20 these days. http://amzn.to/9v8VB3

I'm in, let's do this -blam!-. I didn't get to spend much time with Halo 2 online (I didn't get live on my original Xbox until about 2006-2007). Shortly after I did, I moved on to the Xbox 360 and started playing CoD4, and finally Halo 3. So I missed out on the experience of Halo 2 online sadly. I'm hoping to help send the game out with a bang tonight though. Halo 2 RIP, you will be missed.
