Subject: Why did they have to cancel live for Halo 2

Halo 2 was the best Halo multi play for Xbox. It would have be much better though if you could play live co-op.

Halo 2 for Life!

Because they dont like us gamers anymore playing old games, they want us to spend more money on new games that suck worse than the old games.

I'll admit Halo 3 is fun, but halo 2's campaign would be the best to play co-op because it's campaign is soo much better then Halo 3's

They shut down the servers for all Xbox original games. Halo2 wasn't the only game affected.

I believe they did that because there was little to none playing original Xbox games on live.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

That and to put the power towards the current LIVE system.
I want to say I read somewhere that Halo 2 was basically the reason the friend's list was limited to 100, but I don't have a source ready on that.

That friends list "issue" could have easily been fixed via clan systems such as Halo 2's, but big ol' Microsoft in their almighty wisdom put their foot down. Unfortunately it seems as if Microsoft hasn't bothered themselves , so these "new" features we were promised haven't come to light as of yet.

:O I watch your Halo 2 videos on youtube. Anyway, They removed Halo 2 so we can have more friends on our friends list. Cool Right? 4 months later and nothing has changed. Has there even been a dashboard update? Oh well, I guess it might come with the November 360 update.

I'm pretty sure that's why. What else would make them have to remove all original games ability to be played online?

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

They shut down live support for all xbox originals games in order to make use of their servers for an expansion of the 360 live network. An expansion that has still not come out, after all these months. That and they wanted the rest of us bums who still owned an original xbox but not a 360 to upgrade and play 360 games.

Halo 2 for Life!

Reach is the worst halo ever! Worse than ODST. Dont say Reach, because if they did take H2 away for reach, they destroyed there very strong base of fans for one of the worst games in gaming history. H3 was the worst game in gaming history based on hype and actually was present. Reach was just bad all around.

For the last time, Original XBox Live has NOT been shut down, they are simply rejecting original XBoxes from connecting to the service.

What does this mean? It means:

*You're still paying for a service that no longer 'exists'
*They will never roll-out this alleged new infrastructure
*>100 Friends? On your XBox 360? Forget about it.
*We could still play Halo 2 online if it wasn't for Microsoft.
*It is possible to sandbox the service; so there really is no excuse for this.
*You've been kicked in the balls by Microsoft. Again.
*Money.

How can I prove this?

*Delete all Halo 2 updates.
*Attempt to sign in.
*Download updates from XBox LIVE. <-- See this?

Halo 2 for Life!

Because they only care about profit and not a fan base and a full community of halo fans (they only want new halo fans and their money!). Not like they weren't making enough through xbox live subscriptions anyways, those greedy errr.

thing is, Xbox memory is limited, so I bet this so called "new" infrastructure will be released on the new crappy xbox.

Also, get Halo 2 Vista. :D
o-wait, don't buy Halo 2 Vista, you have been kicked in the balls once, don't get kicked again.
