Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

I read this story whilst some epic music played somewhere in my house. Needless to say I nearly popped a tear for long lost Halo: 2.

No matter what Bungie does, they will never give me the same satisfaction as playing Halo 2 online with my friends. I find it despicable what you as a company did. I can't believe you would abandon your community. BUNGIE, WE MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE. You know "us", the people who played hour, after hour, playing the greatest game ever. I salute them for 1 thing. Making a great game. But they never fought for it. They COULD have put up their own server. They COULD have thought of other solutions but no... they didn't. I guess the community isn't as important to Bungie as Halo 2 was to all of us. Halo 2 was a game we could play around in or play for real. My Halo 2 days took me many places, from playing MLG with buddies, to playing tower of power on Ascension. It was just pure fun. I don't know about you guys but I will NOT play Reach, I will not play ODST, and I will not play Halo 3. They are jokes. I don't know about everybody else but I will always play Halo 2. I have Xbox Connect. It's a leaf system that let's you get around the shutdown by a huge system link. I for one loved Halo 2 and will not let it die in my mind.

Halo 2 <3
Salute///


Sincerely,
Bill.

Meow?

Congratulations, the last of the Halo 2 Legends.

You will be missed...

Bungie should commemorate you guys or something. Maybe a free Reach disc. Anyway, props to you guys for sticking to it when nobody else would. I wish I could have joined you...

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

You do realize it's not Bungie's fault that Halo 2 is offline, right? All original Xbox games are unable to connect to live.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Microsoft shut it down so they could expand the live infrastructure (GFWL + Zune + 360 + Windows Phone) beyond the limitations original xbox live had.

Even then, there is still the PC port, XBC, and Xlink Kai.

You guys are insane :P

Nice work, I salute you.

Last person was called out as a cheat, he waited.

  • 07.16.2010 5:15 PM PDT

what do you mean he waited? he just left his xbox on and didnt play?

  • 07.16.2010 5:28 PM PDT

oh btw.
dont know if this got out here.
think I made a thread in the video section but w/e.

made 4 videos with the footage I recorded from the 14th onwards. Overall I think it gives a good idea of how it was for me.
