Subject: Umm... It's still going....

I really love Halo 2, I really do, and I owe it much, but this 'wait for the end' stopped being funny a while ago.

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

no, I've been reading on all various articles and even major nelson's place had a countdown timer that ended on the 14th. All of the places stated that 12:00am PDT on the 14th would be the end, not the midnight of the 15th.

I think they just can't turn it off lol

  • 04.15.2010 7:33 AM PDT

Being honest my feeling atm is it ends midnight tonight pst / pdt and it was just bungie wanted to have the "special" day on the 14th.

mabe they turned off the halo 3 server lol

You can never succeed if you never try.

Here is what i think is happening

Microsoft staff is standing around the keyboard looking at the "shutdown" button.

Then one of them says "I'm not pushing it, you do it!"

The other replies "No, I'm not being responsible for that, how about he does it?"

And it just keeps going on and on.

-blam!- GTFO OF MY SIGNATURE

Live is refusing to die because the might of the entire septagon is too strong.

It's all about teamwork. :)

It's 8am......Bungie needs to drop me a life line.....I want to know when all the BTB games will ennnnddd.....

I got an Untouchable with the Wraith on Flag Wars on Waterworks.

How about this:

Microsoft pulled the plug ages ago but because so many people were playing at the time Halo 2's consciousness transferred it into everyones' Xbox. It now exists in the ether. So long as people keep playing Halo 2 will live for ever!!!

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

Okay....who hacked Microsoft and reset the timer?

  • 04.15.2010 7:51 AM PDT

MZH

its simple live v1 has gain sentience and refuses to die. therefore we have to play at least 2 games of halo 2 for every 3 of halo 3 we play to show our support

  • 04.15.2010 7:53 AM PDT

Stupid ass washing machine...

Guys, I'll tell you the same thing I told the others:

Take a break. Just turn it off for a bit and have a nap. Doesn't have to be for a long time, but you need to rest. Get some hot food and a drink and take some time out from the game for just, like, a hour or so.

Trust me, Microsoft will not turn it off without a warning, and when they do, you can be there to play through it. But you really should get some rest first.

Now, I'm not trying to be your Moms, I'm sure they do a great job, but when it goes offline, don't you want to be playing at your best? Don't you want to be getting kill after kill and unleashing the might of the Seventh Column on Microsoft?

That's not going to happen if you are so dog-tired you pass out just as you're about to plant the bomb, guys.

Just think about it. ;)

You will be missed.
