It's "Gashnor", not "Gashner", there's an O in there.

Wait a minute... You're the last Spartan.

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MASTER CHIEF!! You lucky dog, you!


Seriously, though, good job to everybody who stuck it out the whole time. I ended up buying Halo 2 (PC), it's been fun, still the same game. Definitely sucks not being able to run it at full capacity, though...

Again, props to everybody who stayed this long. Apache, 3 1/2 weeks, you're crazy. I too want to see the electric bills though =D

I emailed Live i told them its a free contury and we have a choice and other stuff

.....

It is a free country and they can turn off their service if they want to. Thanks for supporting their decision?

The accumulated filth of all their games and hype will foam up about their waists and all the Bungie community will look up and shout "Turn it off!"...:
...and I'll look down, and whisper, "No".

Xboxic.com News:

The Last Guy Ever To Play Halo 2 Online Speaks Out

"The announcement detailing the closure of Xbox LIVE for original Xbox games hit the Halo 2 community hard. Mostly because it was still a very much active community of gamers, but in the eyes of Microsoft, it was holding up plans for future Xbox 360 online services (yet to be announced). The Xbox LIVE Team hit the switch on April 15th, and one by one when gamers disconnected from the service, future access was eternally denied - but out there a small group kept going, day by day, week by week."

Bungie. This man obviously deserves something. HE REQUIRES IT

Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

Amazing story, this. But you don't need me to tell you that. Really great stuff, my kudos to you all.

To be honest - this guy deserves the Flaming Chest Piece for Halo3 usually kept for Bungie Employees only...

I keep refreshing this thread, hoping to read another little tidbit about the last spartan playing Halo 2 and that this dream would last just a little bit longer. So many memories in high school spending countless hours playing this game and all the epic matches played. I truly feel like a part of me has been ripped out in hearing that Halo 2 was discontinued, as I only found out today. Me and my friend still put in halo 2 once in a while and blast through the campaign, but nothing will ever replace the matchmaking and online live madness that Halo 2 gave us. Heres to probably the more memorable online video game I've ever played. Cheers.

Slaute! Thanks for keeping halo 2 alive for us and you being last one on. But the connection will not last forever like you or cortana said. Mabey the isp provider will fix people internet and the internet gets discconnect for a min. SO enjoy your life in halo 2! I told live i want everyon to tell live we want halo 2 back or we wont play halo reach! We want our voices heard. For HALO 2 EVERYONE!

Ill try to connect to you some how im a tech nerd anyways :)

Another article on Kotaku up here. There are no words that can adequately describe my awe that I'm feeling. Good job, mate.

I have reported the news of the last man standing:

Last Halo 2 Player Standing

Before, I quoted Dylan Thomas. This time, I think Lord Alfred Tennyson is better for this final serenade:

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will;
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Someone had a better line at Kotaku:

"It's been an honor serving with you, John."
