Halo 2 was (and still is) an amazingly fantastic game.
Couldn't agree more.

I played it for years (yes I took a break for Halo 3) but came back in March when I heard they were shutting down the original xbox live service.
As did we all.

But guess what. My last game was on 4/14 (though I wish I could have had just a few more the next day).
Good job. That's not sarcasm by the way.

My point is that I just do not understand what is motivating people to keep their xbox running to play a game on XBOX live no one else can play.
Because they can.

The game is already on the PC (it is has a map editor and online play)
The PC version is inferior in pretty much every respect. Go to the Halo 2 Vista/Halo PC forum and they'll tell you to play Halo 2 maps on Halo PC. I do. They'll also tell you why it is inferior, or just take a glance at this.

and there is such a thing as xbox connect to play over the internet on your xbox. So why are all you guys insisting on playing over Live???
Because LIVE is the superior service. We will only migrate when we cannot reconnect.

I do not see why you feel you have to honor a video game which you can still play elsewhere. Personally, I think the point is that the people still playing want some sort of recognition. They want bungie to say something about them, or give them something, or I don't know what. They want to be considered the last person to play over xbox live (via Bungie's stats) when millions of others have played billions of games.
They deserve it, as far as I'm concerned; assuming they actually get anything. Also, it's more than just bragging rights, this is Halo 2 you're talking about. Consider the weight of the name.

But guys I hate to say this (and I say it with the utmost respect)... nobody really cares that you are still playing halo 2
I do; does that invalidate your statement?
Posted by: halomed
beyond the people still playing and the small amount of people who read this forum.
I see what you did there.

I'm glad you feel the need to give Halo 2 a good send off but I think the entire community showed that on April 14 and 15. So please, just stop all this nonsense with "brothers, I am the last 100", "fellow spartans, support me", "I want to honor the game", "I must sign off [insert wall of text saying you loved playing with everyone]" etc. etc.
It's their own way of letting go, just let them mourn in peace.

I know I will get flamed (and hopefully this thread won't get locked or something) but I just think this whole thing has gotten way out of hand.
peace
You won't get flamed as what you say is quite valid, but let them play; it's their choice to drag out the death for as long as they can. I'm quite envious actually.
That's the 2nd best post on this thread aside from mine. I give you free microso- I mean Bungie Points!
