Subject: I Canceled Xbox live account over loss of H2 anyone else?

Halo 2 for Life!

I said I dont want to pay for a service I no longer use. Which is true. The only reason I got Xbox Live was for Halo2 (played it almost every day) and it's the reason i'm cancelling my account as well (play Xbox Live less than once a week and I play offline games alot more).

Did anyone else do a similar thing for similar reasons, with their xbox live subscription?

Thanks for comments in advance.

Nah, I'm a halo 2 fan, but not that big enough to quit XbL becuz it got retired. I still really wish they could release an updated version of halo 2 so that I could play it on LIVE again. You should start a petition thread.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

I made a online petition for this, maybe help me spread it around the internet, (don't post it on Bungie).

I'm not really saddened by the loss of Halo 2 Xbox, but I do feel for those who buy Halo 2 PC and realise it's crappier than Halo 2 Xbox and Halo 1 PC.

And on top of that you are forced to buy a Windows Vista or later operating system.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Halo 2 being shut off really made me upset, but not enough to cancel my XBL membership. There are too many multi-player games coming out in the future that I would hate to miss out on, Halo: Reach mainly. Sure, Halo 2 was a very sad loss, but there are still other games out there that are worth playing.

I would never cancel my account over the disconnection of Halo 2. I just moved back to Halo 3 and other games until Reach will come out. Besides, I bet Reach will be better than Halo 2.

You've played the final release of Reach?

Anyway, Halo 2 was a lot of fun and it's too bad it to bite the bullet, but I wouldn't cancel my XBOX Live because of that. But if you don't play any other FPS guess it makes sense. You're missing out though.

Does it cost alot for Halo 2 vista?

  • 08.28.2010 5:43 PM PDT

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

I didn't cancel, because I play too many other live games.

No.
At most it's like $20, and Live multiplayer is free, regardless whether you are Gold or Silver account.

This. I still regularly play Halo 3 online, and I play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 online.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

Same here, I quit live after H2 went off. Halo 3 is garbage, people only play it cuz they've never played Halo 2 before.

Petetions are not allowed on Bungie.net. This can even be viewed as advertising. But anyway, no petetion will change MS's decision. They cut off xbox live for original xbox games for good.

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.

Why not just go play on Xbox Connect or X-Link Kai? Its free and it basically has everything the same except the play lists or whatever.

And if its that big of a deal, just go play Halo 2 for Windows Vista, just hope you gotta high-end PC if you wanna have a high FPS.

Halo 2 for Life!

PC version of H2 isn't very good (although I've never played it I've watch many videos and H2 pc videos are always worse than console H2 videos for some reason).

I agree with you the online was much worse for H3.

  • 09.03.2010 5:36 AM PDT

Just play halo 2 vista, much better version, although they kind of half assed the map editor. Some people even figured out LIVE CO-OP although I can`t discuss that here. PM me if you want more info.

how is it better than reach? reach isnt out yet. If you are basing it on the beta then you are dumb.

iv had an xbox since Halo CE and i play Halo 3 online so your statement is false. There are people like that but not only that. Dont say -blam!- that isnt true. I loved halo 2 online but i also love playing halo 3 online. When reach comes on il love that also. So dont make false statments. Halo 2 was a great game i played it on hte last day until they kicked me off.

  • 09.03.2010 10:16 AM 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.
(Proud LONGTIME owner of the PC and Xbox versions of Halo CE)

I didn't quit XBL, but my Live Gold expired two months after Halo 2 went offline!

Halo 2 was the best Halo game

I didn't cancel because I still play Halo 3, Gears of War (1&2), some Modern Warfare, and some other random games. However, Halo 2 was my favorite multiplayer game ever. When I go back to play the campaign and re-experience the game mechanics (game speed, height of your jump, etc...) I always remember the blast I had playing 8000+ games. Hell I'd pay M$ $10 to play Halo 2 multplayer again. The reasoning behind M$ canceling the best xbox live game ever was so stupied. Halo 2 should have been the one exception to the original xbox game discontinued list.

Well then you probably didn't play Halo 2 enough to understand how bad Halo 3 is.

Despite your preconceived notions, it's actually possible to enjoy both.

no because although halo 2 was amazing and made me get my XBL, i still play alot of other games that require XBL. also, i play halo 2 over xlink kai so i get the best of both worlds.
