I may be wrong, but I think there are less and less people every week playing Halo 2. The average number of friends I have online each week is dwindling, and matchmaking seems to be getting thinner and thinner. Could it be that Halo 2 is walking the lonely road, slowly into a dark corner where it may perish? Could the original Halo become as big as it once was; Could Combat Evolved make a come-back to be the game once more?

What do you think?

Or is it simply because people have their eyes fixed to the future in anticipation for another Halo...

Nah I think its you. I don't think games on xbl get boring *that* fast. I only know one person who has xbl and hes addicted to halo2, we did a 8 player system link last night and he kept on non-scoping everyone and doing this retarded laugh. I got bored of halo:ce ages ago because theres no range of multiplayer maps and theres never anyone whos able to do a system link because I live in New Zealand and most people don't know who Bill Gates is...

Ok maybe not each week but maybe each month. Sure, ofcourse there are those who are die hard Halo 2 fans. The large majority are. I don't mean this will happen within the next month but by this time next year - Maybe. That's if they don't release H3.

There are also alot of die-hard Halo fans.

The Avarage number of my Friends list of People playing Halo 2 is getting bigger....and i havnt had a Friend request in ages, They either playin Matchmaking or Custom games

But one cause of your friends not playin much anymore is either because of school/work.......Or they could probably copy my friends and delete you from their Friends list

Then try XBC...Oh wait, you just said in another post you don't want to because your computer won't handle it. Well, then why do you keep comparing the two games when you've had little to no online experience with Halo CE? You keep coming in here, say how much better Halo 2 is, even though you've never played Halo CE XBox online. That's like me saying FHM is better than Maxim even though I've never read Maxim.

at time it seems less ppl are playing



halo 3 should be like halo CE, easy multi games to join, not to mention the randomness of player created maps

360 comes with a detach hard drive, im sure micro could make a attacment to the comp to port halo maps to it

No, none of my friends have started leaving, i still love it, even though they kind of screwed up the servers, we should be able to pick our own games...
