I just read the may issue of OXM, and I found an interesting tidbit on the 14th page.
I will quote OXM now.
OXM
Now that original Xbox is being cut from XBL (as of April 15), I'm hoping you'll let readers know about XBConnect. XBConnect is totally free and will allow original-Xbox users to continue to play games online by installing software on their PC. It works by creating a VPN for the Xbox, which you can then use in conjunction with the system/LAN feature to enable you to connect with other users. There's no reason we have to stop playing our original-Xbox games online just because M$ has hit the kill switch for the console.


So you see!! YOU DON"T HAVE TO GIVE UP HALO JUST YET!! WE HAVE HOPE NOW!! KEEP GOING, HALO 2 , AND OUTLIVE THE END OF OXBL!!

Halo 2 shall rise from the dead, and we shall prevail.

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

LOL XBC has been around for a LOOOONG time, you find online matches through system link with XBC. Its a great alternative but there are alot of modders. you can play Halo 1 as well with XBC

So? People will use XBC now that there is no OXBL, and will still go on to play H2 online. Plus, I think XBC will be more universal and more people will use it.

Halo 2 > Halo 3

R.I.P. Halo 2

Yeah ive thought about this, and thought id maybe give XBC another shot, i used to play it during CE but as soon as H2 came out i never looked back.

Like I said, XBC has been around for years, longer than Halo 2 has actually been out. I am assuming that people will go to XBC but we will see, you will just have to put up with the modders

Yes, I guess that modders were the only real drawback to XBC, but now since we don't have a choice, I think most people will have to revert to this, and keep Halo 2 alive.
Also, keep this post alive so everyone that wants to play H2 online can find out how.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Or, you know, you can just buy Halo 2 PC.

How many people are still on it? Do you know?

...That was going to be a different post before I saw the article. So don't worry. Be happy. We can still play it on the console, so we can all feel more nostalgic.

It's an option for sure, but not a must from the looks of it.

I hope someone (Bungie or otherwise) would be kind enough to post a sticky thread about this, and perhaps some instructions so that others can be informed about the alternative for Live.
