Subject: So when is Halo 2 going to be available in Xbox Arcade or somewhere?

It's been 4 months since Bungie took Halo 2, THE fps game offline. I play it sometimes on XBconnect.com, and it's always nice to get a few games, but usually the people setting up the games make some really -blam!-gy choices, like nothing but battle rifles on lockout. Over and over and over.......

Don't believe what Bungie says about Halo 2 not being able to support the new Xbox Live or whatever. It's a computer program. They CAN change it with an update. They just have to WANT to change it.

Cmon Bungie, get Halo 2 back online! Halo 3 sucks. I never played ODST either. Maybe I'll rent Halo Reach when it comes out and try it, but as far as I'm concerned, Halo 2 PWNS all of the Halo series. Best gameplay, best multiplayer.

*Sigh* Idk, I really miss it. I know its possible, but I know it probably won't happen. I mean, what was the point of shutting the original servers down? Firs, they take Halo 2 away, which is one of the games I like playing on LIVE, then they increase the LIVE price. Seriously, Microsoft doesn't care about anyone.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

Well MS/Bungie has never mentioned anything about Halo 2. So there is no way to know...

I agree, the game types made on xbc are a bore. It's like the same match setting in every lobby too, and the fact that people often get the "a player in your party failed to load the map" annoys me so bad. It's fun to play for a little bit but it in no way compares to the matchmaking and experience it was on live.

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.

I miss Halo 2, but I do not plan on returning to Xbox Live due to Microsoft's greed. I will just be a silver member. So i'm not sure if I would ever care if Halo 2 was made online again, but it sure would be tempting.
