Subject: Halo: Reach Medal Day

Do you think there's any chance Bungie would re-support Halo 2 for a day, or even a week, to allow people to get the Halo 2 medal? Personally, I would buy the game to try and get the medal, and also to play the game as a whole, as I wasn't aware of the whole Halo franchise until only a few months ago :(
I don't know how much of an issue this would cause to Bungie, but I would simply love to play the game online :)

No. If you want to play Halo 2 online, then you can go play Halo 2 PC. But I have a feeling you just want the visual flair.... if that's the case then shame on you.

No cause it's not bungie decision it's microsoft bungie wouldn't have shut down halo 2 in the first place.

This is what I think

Do you think there's anywhere we can make a poll that will get noticed? I'd love to play this old classic I've heard so much about :)

As much as everyone will want it back, it will never be brought back on xbox live (unless it's made into an arcade game). This is because MS says "In our continuing efforts to evolve the Xbox LIVE service, we need to make changes that are incompatible with the original Xbox games." -from xbox.com FAQ

Halo 2 for Life!

They are mean nasty people (meaning of course not) if they were compassionate caring people of their community and fans they probably would. Not saying they are greedy, yes I am. Whatever gets them that next buck they be doing that for sure (cough ODST released as a game if you can call it that), rather than looking at the whole picture of loyalty and what got you to the dance. If loyalty payed big bucks up front and polishing/making better old features paid them money they would do that but you know what they only really care about the hype, marketing machine that pays big bucks now (new features get all the attention right, so they get all the work leaving other features to lack).

Yes, I'm a angry H2 fan and I can not be blamed for feeling so negative at bungie right now as they are not following respectable behavior right now in my eyes.

I would love to see it released as an arcade game, I believe it would be huge. They could charge 2400 MS Points for it, I believe people would pay.
The Xbox Connect thing is like LAN right? So it's not officially online, you can't get online achievements, nor can you get the Halo 2 Medal in Reach? Also, I believe it goes against Microsofts Terms of Xbox Live?

Bungie has no say in the matter, it's all Microsoft.

But I guarantee they won't bring back support for Xbox original titles.

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

so you cant get the halo 2 or 1 visual flares anymore?

  • 08.23.2010 11:53 AM PDT

You can get the Halo 1 Flare (By entering your PC/Mac CD Code), but unless you've played H2, you can't get it, which is partially why I want an arcade version or a special week released ;)

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

that would be ok with me, i had halo 2 for the original xbox but never played online, but probably had 200-400 hours playing it, so i think they should just let you put in your disc, and give it to you, i also had at least like 700 hours on halo combat evolved for xbox original, so, yeah

Yeah that would be nice. But as Bungie has stated so many times before, there is no way for them to varify that you have played the game without xbox live. MS won't turn the xbox live on for the xbox version one games just for a bunch of people to get visual flair in one game. I also doubt that they will realease an arcade version in the near future, but you can always hope.

Honestly, i'm surprised M$ hasn't re-released Halo 2 as a Xbox 360 game. Halo 2 was definitely one of the most addictive online games I have ever played.

But the thing is, would Bungie re-activate the servers? Did Bungie get rid of them? Because it would only make since to release a xbox 360 game with online capabilities.

The SNARFINATOR!

>_< . . . really, why r u looking at me

It would be kinda cool (meaning the most amazing thing ever) if by some miracle H2 could be payed over xbox live on Bungie day.

If bungie just made H2 for the 360 and did not change anything I would buy it.
