.,

because they shut down the matchmaking on halo 2 earlier this year, so no more online play.

  • 08.19.2010 12:49 PM PDT

Not a good enough excuse. I would buy a copy even if it didn't include MP over xbl.

They probably expect you to buy the horrible Halo 2 port for the PC.

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.

Was that post sarcastic? Or did you just really post that while rocking the Halo 2 Games for Windows Avatar? Fail.

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

I think even Halo Wars and ODST are on games on demand, aren't they? I figure maybe they'll wait until Reach has been out for a while before releasing it? Or perhaps they have something else planned. I'm personally hoping they'll release 360 versions of Halo: CE/2 in a bundle pack similar to the one they did for God of War 1/2 on PS3.

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

I still have Halo 2 Limited Edition, but I do think that Microsoft are going to want you to buy Halo 2: Vista instead of them porting it to the Xbox Games on Demand, in my opinion though it would be better then then I don't always have to go hunt for my disc every time I wanna go play Halo 2.

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

they should reopen halo 2 online, with a bang

  • 08.23.2010 12:46 PM PDT

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

Micrsoft has supposedly ended its support of the Xbox Originals. But I would love a 360 game as a Halo CE/Halo 2 collection similar to the God of War and Sly collections on the PS3.

This would be awesome. But MS is looking at how they would make money off of the same game that people already have(because they would have to spend money to attempt to make money). If they could somehow re-introduce xbox live for the 360 version of Halo 2, then that would be the way to go.

Because they dont like the H2 fans da.

If we could get back H2 by sacrificing Hreach, It would be a necessary sacrifice to save the halo community; because without H2 the Halo community isn't any good to me (we can all live without Hreach though lol).

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Except, no one from Bungie or Microsoft will tell you it even exists.

True but once you get used to it, halo 2 vista is not that bad. It can be enjoyable with friends.

Well, I'm sure they know that most of the community believes Halo 2 was the best of the Halos (Not me personally, but mostly everyone I know thinks so) So, if they were thinking of just placing it there without multi-player or anything special they would have already. I bet they are working on putting matchmaking back on.

  • 11.23.2010 7:02 AM PDT

Agreed. I wouldn't be suprised if that were 343's project right now.

I'd like to see Halo 2 on GOD too. I really want to play the campaign more than anything, and even if it didn't have online play you could still do offline multiplayer.

Not sure why Microsoft hasn't put it on the service, there's a lot of 360 players that never owned an XBOX such as myself, but would like to play the entire series of HALO games.

So buy a copy of H2 for $15, stick it in your 360 and play away.

Halo is dead. Linked tag is permanently banned from XBL

They would have to admit defeat, in their attempt to ruin XBL forever though (if we get H2 back on XBL) lol.
