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

Sorry I messed up the thread for a while there. To anyone that has read this before, did I forget anything?

  • 04.30.2010 2:45 PM PDT

You guys are amazing! Loads of respect and love!

Everytime you write a long post, copy & paste it into Notepad and save it.

For now, any chance writing up by memory if you cannot find the post?

Your post/thread, was the most important, being the basis for all those news reports and documenting the last official Spartans in the universe...

I think you got pretty much all of it, but I'm trying to find a google cache page of the thread to check it against.

[EDIT] anyone know how to search a previous Google index? They refreshed their copy of the thread since Joe started editing it. I searched through Google's help site for instructions, and I'm not having any luck.

This is truly the Last Stand of Halo 2.

  • 04.30.2010 4:27 PM PDT

I'll be honest, Halo2 was the last Halo game I enjoyed. I have to give you guys a lot of credit. Keep it up!

The Lost Prophet has returned to reclaim the title of Halo Master

Well aside from the worst grammar I've seen so far, I think you are stupid, possibly even 10 years old by the use of numbers in place of letters and the horrible spelling and capitalization.

There is this thing called a Key board in front of you it has the letters F-O-U-R they are extremely useful. Especially when you are trying to flame some one for being bad. Come back with some intelligence and let me know how much better you do.

I came on the Halo 2 forums, hoping to maybe find a hidden Halo Reach beta code and instead I found this awesome thread. You have just helped me realize why I play these games. Your incredible determination to continuing enjoying the Halo 2 experience has made me realize that not getting a Beta code for Reach early isn't such a big deal and that I play the Halo games for the enjoyment they bring me. They may never come close to the enjoyment that I had with Halo 2, but they're still Halo games, and I'll still love them. So, for your tremendous commitment and love of the game that most likely, single handedly made Xbox Live the best place to play online with friends I have great respect for you and everyone still playing. Keep playing, for all the fans. I know it means alot to me, even if I'm not the one playing. And whenever your Xboxes freeze, or your connection dies, or they force you off...Enjoy the Halo Reach Beta, even if its not as great as Halo 2 ;)

Games, Games, Games... It's What I Do!!!

According to IGN Updated today (dated April 30th 2010) the article goes on by saying:

"...Microsoft has been reached for comment on this situation. We'll update this story when we hear back.

Update: For their efforts, Microsoft says the group will be allowed access to the Halo: Reach beta. The company issued this statement:

"A small band of a committed few, engaged in a battle against insurmountable odds. It's not Noble team from Halo: Reach, it's the final, passionate few who are still playing Halo 2. We wish them the best in their battle against time. Their tremendous exhibition of courage and commitment makes them ideal candidates for Noble team and therefore we are working to ensure they have everything necessary to participate in the Halo: Reach beta."

On another article dated April 30th 2010 written by Daniel Terdiman of cnet he states a quote from Stephen Toulouse (director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live) which is the following: "But Microsoft is also applauding the players' efforts to stay logged into Live. On Friday, Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live, tweeted his encouragement: "To those noble folk keeping halo2 alive: we see you, and we salute you."

Remind me to get a account and follow that guy on Twitter lol...

So, Guys... Microsoft and XBL enforcement ARE watching and know of us and what we are doing.

Should say something about their fan base and dedication...


I would like to thank a friend of mine (R.E.MOM) for emailing me the two links above...

R.I.P Halo 2. To the guys still playing, you have my respect.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Is this delaying the new Xbox Live updates?

How would this delay the updates?

The determination that you have for continuing to play Halo 2 for this long is inspiring. I hope you can continue to hold this out.

It need be said that you are all Legendary.

A Hapless Elite: because TheUnluckyElite was already taken.

Just found this out from a friend of mine today. All I can say is that this effort to stay online is made of 100% pure win.

Had I known about this little trick to stay online, I would have joined you. Big kudos to you for keeping one of gaming's gems alive. :)

Well, the Twitter Tweetbate (in the EU, not sure if its in the US) said "Keeping LIVE going for the original Xbox did for gaming what volcanoes did for air travel: slows things things down".

Not like Im against this or anything.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Anyone left on Halo 2 still?

  • 05.01.2010 11:48 AM PDT

'Tis a shame Micro$oft pulled the plug, but Halo 2 shall still live on. Not only through our hearts and ub3r hacking skillz, but through Vista. I'm actually surprised that nobody has mentioned H2v through this entire thing...
