Subject: bring back halo 2

Easily bungies best game ever made,
online play was better than halo 3, and reach

I can't play it online and it makes me sad because like said, it's the best game made.

bring it back

anyone else agree

I'll agree, Halo 2 was and still is the best of em all. Bring it back!

Halo 2 for Life!

Stick a fork in it! lol no more threads like this. We need to be progressive not regressive. The only way we are getting back H2 is if bungie/mirosoft can make tons of money off of it and right now they think they won't so it's dead.

Maybe in the future when they bring back the best games from Xbox to the new system they are creating right now they will bring it back as a bundle that you have to pay for but right now it's looking really bad for it to come on the 360 and I say that is a good thing as the 360 sucked as a system compared to the first xbox.

But again, it's over, we can only wait and hope they bring it back in the future because right now (and for the next few years) there will be no halo2 online.

Its a sad regrettable problem xbox has of putting profits before people (bungie is no better). It's the people that got you to your position and now you turn around and take away a ton of your online content for xbox live, idiots.

That is how you win over people to come play on your community right? No. Loyalty is something that falls short in a money makers mind (not realizing that they will actually make less money by doing so in the mid to long term) and what goes long is the sparkle of new and trash the old, get rid of what is holding us back (although it was actually propping your poor service up).

My poor service up?

You even just said bungie mainly made halo 3, reach for profits.
A server for halo 2 wouldn't even cost them that much, They make millions and millions off of Halo reach

Bungie is now Microsoft's, and everyone knows Microsoft is all about the money, there's no chance of M$ giving there costumers what they want

graphics or not, Halo 2 is more fun then halo reach. Graphics and crap is not what i want. I want quality. Which is halo 2.

halo 2 is awsome and i would actually jump off a building just 2 play online again,i would even jump out a air plane 2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000 miles in the sky with nothing 2 cushion my fall just to bring online play back for ever..........i miss halo 2 :(

  • 09.28.2010 4:09 PM PDT

I like having people to have taste in games actually answer, it's great to hear.. rather than all of those halo reach fanf*gs who depend on grenades to kill

Halo 2 was balanced, and wasn't full of grenade spamming like 3, and reach

Halo 2 for Life!

halo2 felt like it was made for the people not for the profits (it just so happened it had major profits).

Also, OP your response to my post was.... Weird. lol.

  • 09.28.2010 4:24 PM PDT

It seemed like you were trying to hate on halo 2 and was disagreeing.

Yeh I don't know how they can just turn their backs like nothing is happening. When have you ever heard people doing something like those last few who stayed on as long as they could. You haven't. And they don't even care to pay attention. If bungie really is MS now then we're surely -blam!-ed. After all they made off reach I find it hard to believe they can't just up and run it again.

Halo 2 for Life!

It's not that i'm disagree, it's that it isn't going to happen as it's raw (the act of removing it from live) and other than us few million people or so that want H2 back lol, no one else wants it and it's to costly to bring it back on it's own, but as a package of greatiest hits for the next gen. system it might appear and hopefully with it's simple online functionality.

Actually Bungie signed a 10 year contract with Activision (COD publishers) but in either case they should bring back Halo 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

I would even cut off my own wiener to have Halo 2 back online..

  • 09.28.2010 9:17 PM PDT

I agree that H2 was the best, but no one played H2 on XBL a year or so before it shut down. I tried occasionally, but there were not many people playing.

Even if they did bring it back, I doubt many people would play it. :(

I played today on XBC with like 5 people... Not the same though.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

I agree it was the best Halo game made and since Halo is the best game ever its the best game in existence

The Human race is the parasite of the Earth. The galaxy is the host of the Earth. The universe is the parasite of something much grander...

I loved Halo2 and I think its sad to see it go for Xbox live but that doesn't mean that you cant play it online at all just pick i up for PC it may be $20-30 but its well worth the cost for all the custom content available. but yes Microsoft should bring it back on games on demand like Halo 1 just remove the online component since its obsolete anyways.

True but cant they bring back as an arcade game like call of duty classic and put a new matchmaking system in so we can play it on online i would pay 1200-2400 Microsoft points if they did.

Maybe in the future with a new XBL and new system I think.

no not as an Xbox Live arcade but as digital download under games on demand like Halo CEbut as I said they would just remove the Matchmaking component because XBL doesn't exist for original xbox games anymore

  • 09.29.2010 9:17 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

They dont need to remove online access (I think it would be easy with the new system in like 3 years or so), and if they did remove online access than no one would get it.

could they release them separate like halo 2 multilayer as an arcade and halo 2 story on games then that means both halo xbox original titles will be available to download (but that wont happen as they stopped updating xbox originals) on games on demand. And surely cant cost much bungie/microsoft to make servers for like most arcade games already have or even where someone host instead of match making.

I was there for the glory days of Combat Evolved. I was there when Halo 2 was hyped up and met the hype. I was there for the first days and last days of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I was there for the Halo 3 days, the great Lag Age of 2008-2010. I was there to laugh and not buy ODST, I was there to vomit when Reach implemented reticle bloom. I am a Halo veteran, and a Halo legend.

Man Reach online blows I wish I could go back to the last good Halo game. H3 lags too much, Reach is just garbage.

WHY XBOX.

I agree none of this arcade crap, why would they release halo as to different products and re-release multiplayer at all Halo2 online is gone and done with on xbox it will live on for Pc but not for the xbox 360

Halo 2 for Life!

Gotta see new ideas. The best game in history needs to come back and it will come back online but it might be 10years before Microsoft releives that it needs to be on it's service to help it be the best (and by then it will be cheaper to do so most likely and it will be more econimical most likely).

LOOKING FOR A FELLOW with an old gamertag named billLumberg05 this is 420 r3pp1n 614

bring back halo 2 this reach is garbage. only reason halo 2 failed is because all the cheaters maps where perfect and even reach most uneven spawns did u guys forget how to make a good map. reach is by far ur worst game made i thought u guys could do better stop rushing games out and take some time and lets us try a beta for longer than 2 weeks ugh just bring back halo 2 matchmaking and fix the cheating in the game

Only playing Reach right now because my friends do, but my heart lies with Halo 2. That game was near perfect, and if you were good, I mean good, not this "omg grenade spam" crap, you were actually kinda popular, like guys who got 50 skill level ( i don't remember the system so well so please excuse if there's any errors there)The maps were hella awesome, whereas Reach's are all pretty much recycled, a la the COD games. We all bought Reach, I think Bungie needs to give us something back as a thank you, in this case the Halo 2 servers
