Subject: To all of you still playing

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

Honestly, let it go. I LOVE Halo 2, but even I would not do what you are doing. You are causing Halo 2 to slowly suffer before dying and there are only about 30 people left anyway.

At this point, you'd be better off giving your Xbox a rest, and then playing with these same people over Xbox Connect, and then you no longer have to worry about the last time you turn off Halo 2.

Let it go.

My GT is actually lockepyker - somehow I got linked with my g/f's tag...so that should answer your first question.
Since you're here, take time to visit my file share. I mean, I have beach grifball in there - and you know you want some of that . Thanks!
See you in the rumble pit!
~LockePyker~

Your concern is duly noted, but I disagree.
We are staying with an old friend until the very end.
It's the least we can do...

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

Lets use some logic. We payed for this game. Yes, it was years ago, but still, we payed for it. We have a right to play as much as we want, even if we're in a sudden death scenario.

That has nothing to do with my point at all, but if you want to go that way, then technically you no longer have the right to play it over Xbox Live.

Well, we have to pu this in perspective, in that Horse Repairman only just quite 12 hours ago, which in this marathon, isn't too long ago...

[edit] nvm, can't do math..been playing too long ; ) [/edit]

Its basically sudden death.

Just let them have their last games of fun while they can.

Thing is, there really isn't a definite end, it seems. Your commitment is admirable, of course, but there's just a point...

Staying on after the shutdown, and then one by one signing off before you go to work or sleep or whatever, would've made sense. At this point, it's just a bunch of guys leaving their Xboxes on while they hold an Oddball and head out to school until they can come back and hop back on.

Our old friend died last night. You're just playing weekend at Bernie's at this point.

By no means am I trying to say, "OMG Halo 2 iz ded get over it," because it hurt me pretty bad too. All I'm saying is at some point it has to end, and you can do it with dignity all at once with a bang, or you can keep bleeding it until one by one you all fall and your Xboxes Red Ring from stress.

I personally hate my xbox. And due to the fact I hardly played Halo 2 online, and only started playing it online since '08, I'm pretty tired of offline. And your opinions about the game and your suggestions are indeed admirable, but Halo 2 won't feel a thing. Its not "suffering", its just having small activity now. The game doesn't have any trash talkers, nor any people insulting others. Its like a safe haven for people who want to play a Halo game online without anyone attacking them. Its fun, and there is no negativity in it at all.

What the hell.

I was playing it online since 2005, pretty much everyday from 2005-2007 and then still played a lot after that, and still I wouldn't do what you're doing.

It really seems like you guys care more about being the very last person in the game then you care about the game itself.

I've played this game offline since '05. I like the campaign more than the multi-player. Its your choice if you want to stop playing it, if you do, then that's fine. But telling others to stop playing because the game is "suffering" is quite awkward. I'm not used to the multi-player, all I had was the campaign and split-screen. I'm used to playing it offline, while you've been playing it online through the course of the years.

I love Halo and video games. I started a business called "70MGame", I setup LAN events, tournaments, and Midnight Launch Events. Check us out in the link below.

I grew up playing Halo CE and have never stopped loving it since. I have one of the biggest Halo collections you will ever see with the crown jewels being life size statues of Master Chief, Kat, and Emile. Im hoping to have the entire Noble Team soon as well as other Halo statues

God forbid I can't play the game after its shutdown.
Why? Why can't I speak for myself? Do I have to do what you say? If you tell me to jump off a bridge I have to listen?

"Service subject to change without notice."

Hell, we're lucky Microsoft decided to tell us alongside Bungie so we could give Halo 2 a proper sendoff.

Edit: Quoted the wrong person. :3

My GT is actually lockepyker - somehow I got linked with my g/f's tag...so that should answer your first question.
Since you're here, take time to visit my file share. I mean, I have beach grifball in there - and you know you want some of that . Thanks!
See you in the rumble pit!
~LockePyker~

I know what you're saying man - it's not cool that some people are just leaving their boxes on. But we're not all like that - check my record - some of us are hardcore. I can't believe how long I've been playing, non stop, and at this point I want to see how far I can take it...wish me luck.

THIS ^^^ is respectable. Simply refusing to sign out is like being an unwelcome house guest

Because he's playing the game its different? I'm playing the game also, yet you're trying to prove me wrong? What's wrong in that picture?

I look at it like you're a house guest whose presence is the only thing keeping the house from bursting into flames.
