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.

The way will require the game to be rewritten.

Halo 2 for Life!

This is a myth. Bungie has some control over the Halo franchise... I'm not sure how much though.

Holding it back? Because it was only leading it for so many years. Suddenly it's not worth keeping, a legacy game that is legendary in the gaming world.

Sad excuses, at the very least. I guess Microsoft doesn't want a legacy, they dont want depth and quality in their services, they only care about new games, new gamers, and they dont care if they lower the value of their services for those that were loyal to their games and services, it was beyond shameful in so many ways.

What? what policy, acconrding to what I read awhile back, apperently only way for xbox 360 friendlist to increase higher then 100 friends is by shuting down xbox live for original xbox and only thing keep that up is halo 2, that's why. But honestly who knows or cares. 100% sure halo 2 will see day light in Games On Demand.

Very little. MS bought out Halo and Bungie. It's the reason why there is Halo Wars.

True, if we want Halo 2 back it"ll have to be Microsoft that we will need to convince. Microsoft owns and operates the live servers, they were the ones who shut down live support for all xbox games. They are the only ones who can restore Halo 2 live support for the original xbox.

Plus they made a company just dedicated to halo, 343 Industries. They"ll probably be handling the remakes or the makings of any new Halo related games now that Bungie has moved on from Halo.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

But neither Bungie nor any other developer has any influence over how Microsoft manages their XBL service. And it was Microsoft's decision to discontinue XBL support for classic Xbox games. Nothing Bungie could have done.

Your thoughts are bent. You dont see the whole picture. Bungie had/has some influence on Microsoft especially when it comes to Halo games. They talk and Microsoft listens.

Dont give others hogwash that Microsoft is the only one to blame we all know Bungie had Microsofts ear on how to proceed and the biggest let down of Bungie's history occurred when they had a compromise of giving a pitiful 400 micro. Points and beta invites. The ultimate insult to the Halo fans and especially Halo 2 fans.

Microsoft shut it down and it will never come back.

It will be back eventually just be patient. Even though it doesn't seem like it, H2 will come back when Classics are released for a future system. Like Xbox Classics and if H2 isn't their no one will buy it lol.

Give it time for whenever a great game is made, a remake is made after some time has passed for the current game generation. Like with any remake the question will be, is the remake as good as the original. Will it still have the bugs, glitches, etc, that made the xbox version fun? Will the remake be as good as the original, because by now we all know that live support for the original xbox games will never come back.

Only time will tell. Till that time comes keep on playing Halo 2 through xlink kai, xbox connect, and through the PC version. Show the world that we still love and play Halo 2, even after all this time. Even if Bungie and Microsoft abandoned us and Halo 2, we still have not abandoned the game we enjoy playing.

Halo 2 will come back some day, it's just a matter of time.
It's probaly not around the coner, but when Reach is a little older, and Gears of War 3 is shipped i think we will start hearing about it.
That day is going to be great!

That will never happen. It can't. Microsoft is working on an update so we can have more people on our friends ist. That is why they shut it down. Play xbox connect if you want the servers back up.
