I've been heavily supporting and following the last few who continue to fight against the inevitable demise of Halo 2 on Xbox Live, and one thing that I keep hearing on the livestream (I watch T0 Be Continued's) is that they have been fighting for almost a week now, with nary a word from Bungie.
This isn't supposed to be a rant or anything; I just think the last few who have fought for over 120 hours (and continue still) deserve better. I guess I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I think they deserve at least recognition. After all, they're the most loyal Halo fans you can get, sacrificing a week of their lives for the survival of a game that is doomed anyway.
I'm not complaining or anything. I just think it'd be nice of they had a little more recognition than they do now.
EDIT:
Taylor Och's comment a bit down this page should explain to some of the people who don't understand the magnitude of this.
The people online are not looking for a prize. When you sit in lobbys with these dedicated guys and gals, we talk about how lucky we are. Not how much longer we're going to have to play this game before we win a prize. It sounds cheezy, but we do it for the love. And if you can't understand that, then I'm sorry. But let us continue to push the boundaries of what we love doing, and I'm not going to try and put you down with anything you want to do in your life.
I hope that no one misunderstood my original post, thinking that I was saying they want some retribution. They don't. They do what they do because Halo 2 was not just a game...trying not to make this cheesy, but it seriously was almost a way of life. Kind of like what Och describes down there. I think a little part of me died on April 15th. They play because it was a part of their life they never want to forget, and they want it to last as long as possible.
Which is why, I think, they deserve retribution, whether they want it or not.
