We get the shaft so "new" (mostly done before and filler) supposedly better, funnier, halo games can be shoved down our throats. Shame on bungie, XBL, and all that are connect to the Loss of H2 service on XBL. Loyalty is strengthen by giving choice and diverse options. Not limiting them, not taking away great experiences. If I enjoy H2 I should be able to play that and that will bring loyalty to bungie's and XBL brand, but no they dont think like that, they think the new stuff will bring the loyalty and the money and all resources most be directed at creating the new and forgetting about the great base of games they created in the past and the support they had for it online. I hope I and the many angry Halo2 fans can shame bungie and XBL into reconsidering their apparent permanent shut down of halo2 service on XBL. My loyalty for Bungie and XBL is at a all time low and I dont think I can be persuaded to come back, unless they stop shoving new games down our throats and taking away the games we most enjoy.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

It was Microsoft's decision. They wanted people (read: 10 yr old kids) to have huge friend lists. They also wanted original xbox owners to get the 360 SLIM and Halo 3 and Modern Warfail 2.
Good thing there is the PC version.

Halo 2 for Life!

Bungie's resistance to said shut down was not up to par with what H2 fans deserve. Also if halo2 was on other platforms, cough PS3, this wouldn't have been an issue. So I do fault bungie for grabbing the money from MS and not taking into account damage to their brand and the limits it posed to their brand.

What I think bungie is thinking:

We have no obligations to halo 2 fans.

My reply to this:

Yeah and i'm not obligated to buy your products.

Your track record has been forever tarnished, it's best you do the right thing and lobby MS to re-establish H2 on XBL (and stop halo2 fans outrage).

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

It's Microsoft's fault, not Bungie's.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Halo 2 had a great run Ace, but we need to learn to let it go...although this will take some time.

The only thing we can really hope for is a re-release for the arcade I guess, but chances of this is very slim to none.

Team Snipers on Ancension, Lockout FFA, 5CTF Warlock, SWAT on Foundation...ahh...I will miss these golden dys of gaming.

Yeah, I could let it go, just like bungie, and MS did. They have good judgement, they have the money and power, they always know what's right, right? Wrong, everyone makes mistakes, and bungie and MS made a big one getting rid of H2 on XBL. It was the life blood of XBL for so many years and then to just drop it. In-raged isn't a strong enough word. The fact that it is gone and bungie and MS let it go, doesn't mean that H2 fans need to fall in line and except this. I for one will continue to fight on to get H2 (the best game in the history of gaming) back. It might be futile but it's better then not trying at all and having to play games that aren't up to H2 standards (Hreach,H3, modern war fair, and so many others). I hope that MS and bungie realize that the best game on their service is now gone (the game that made their brands so great). It's a shame and they should feel shame for doing this (as their brands are now meaningless to me and possibly many H2 fans, i.e. I cant relate to their actions).

Also its fun to yell at bungie for straying from good values (loyalty, ect), and also when they move away from the original set of blue prints that made them what they were (they are no longer a great game producer to me). They are now a money machine, which is their current unsustainable blue print in which they follow. For example, I think they make some of these "new" weapons and features, just for marketing and promotional purposes and dont work in game at all and suck so much.

Dude I got an armor ability that turns my avatar into a fairy that can fly, is invincible, invisible, produces bubbles, and runs fast when needed. Damn that fairy sure is magical.

Also, wasn't it funny enough that this magic could be used once or twice a game in H3 but in Hreach one could use the magic 50+ times, it's pretty much a running riot of laughter (in the worse way possible).

Sometimes there is no explanation it's like I pulled that armor ability out of my ass 50 times in one game.... type of crap.

Also the done before (and done better by others) weapons, like the flame thrower in H3, doesn't fit the fast pace game play of H2, or of a good game based on halo the original.
