Subject: The SAME THING HAPPENED with the Halo 3 beta.

7even is Darker

For the halo nublets: back when the halo 3 beta had "ended" the matchmaking would not just shut off, it would officially be done when everyone went off the game. 100% the same situation as now ensued.

Heres what WILL HAPPEN, just like from the halo 3 beta, MS will eventually log into your profile so it signs you out, and you'll be booted to the dashboard.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

That or they will just shut down live for a split second so all games close down for a min or two.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before the remaining player's xboxes freeze, RRoD, overheat, stop reading discs, etc. After all, this is the Xbox we're talking about.

The beta was so good. I personally believe it was better than halo 3 as we know it.

On this topic I don't think it will happen like that because this game has way more sentimental value. I think they will let people play it till it is no longer physically possible.

I am starting to get teary...:(

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it doesn't seem like anyone in this topic is whining. If anything, it seems that you're just getting a bit defensive! I think it's cool that people are still playing, I just hope it doesn't result in a load of broken xboxes.

I don't think that your xbox is representative of every xbox 360 console out there.

Let's Make Movie Magic!

If I remember correctly, matchmaking completely shut down when the beta ended. So, not only were you only able to play custom games, you had to stay in that same game if you wished to play.

YES! That's what I remember now!
I was telling my buddy: "I remember trying to stay on a game before, when they were closing the servers. But I can't remember what it was!"

It was the Halo 3 BETA! Thanks you!

A Halo 2 Glitch Master, "retired" since i couldn't find anything good in Halo 3, hoping for a come back. I'm a huge Marathon fan too. If you want to verse me, please message me through my Bungie.net profile.
My weapon of choice is the warthog (Driving); I'm one of the best drivers out there, so if i get my hand on a vehicle, you're going to wish i hadn't XD

April 20th I became one of the final 30 people to play Halo 2 online. Unfortunately I was kicked by Microsoft that day.

XD nah never, I have my 360 cooled so I can stay on Halo 2. 3 days and so far so good

They just need to turn off Xbox LIVE briefly.

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

I have an elite, which means it's very unlikely to get RRoD. It isn't hot at all, and it's been on for 3 days straight. I think I'm going to last for a long time. :)

Did matchmaking work in the beta after it "ended?" Cause what I did was sit in an endless custom game on Valhalla and just ended up playing that with a few friends the next day until we all quit. So, I never even tried matchmaking after it "ended."

I think they can do that because of the terms of use. They are allowed to ban you, why couldn't they just log you off for a second?

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

I played a lot of the Halo 3 Beta but I didnt know people stayed past its ending date.

Since I have failed those brave final players still on Halo 2, then Im going to redeem myself and stay on for as long as i can with the reach beta.

  • 04.18.2010 4:11 PM PDT

Its ok everybody. MS is paying me to sneak into people's houses and unplug Xbox's. I'll be putting an end to Halo 2 online pretty soon.
