Were a lot of people still playing Halo 2 and other original Xbox titles?

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.

If you guys truly cared for Halo 2, you'd buy Halo 2 Vista and ask Microsoft to support it.
It's much easier than asking for a remake for Xbox 360.

I'd only support this idea if there were some updates to it and that you could actually find some games in it.

This is the speculation making the rounds in the games press circles.

When Microsoft sees sales figures, they will take an interest. :D

It depends on if H2 has online enabled HD remake, if so that is better than H1 HD remake with no online play.

well, what I believe he is talking about is a pure XBLA release of the multiplayer of Halo 2.... judging from all the people I know who want this and the others online who want this... how could you not find a game. I personally would not want any updates. I just want my damn Halo 2 back!! Not knocking Reach or anything... but I would still be on Halo 2 if I had the option to do so. I made a topic about a month ago discussing this same question.

also, I see a lot of people crapping on about HD... who cares?!? Graphics do NOT make the game. Its just eye-candy. I still have and play my N64, SNES, and NES regularly... and believe me it is not because of the graphics. Its because the games are FUN... which is the point of a game to begin with... FUN! All these kids today, that is all they seem to care about... how good the graphics are. You can wrap a turd in some nice shiny paper, but it is still just crap underneath no matter how it looks.

Halo 2 getting shut off was a big slap in the face to its loyal community. It was done just to make money. Too many people were perfectly happy with Halo 2 and weren't buying any new games, so MS decided in order to sell their new -blam!- games, they would have to take the old good one(s) away from us.

Nintendo never took Mario Bros. away from us, and we shouldn't have to put up with Bungie's and/or Microsoft's -blam!-. I haven't, and don't plan on buying Reach. They're just trying to milk the name for every penny with another sub-par game. Sorry to those who take offence, but trust me. I put many years into Halo 2 (13-18 years old) , i'm 20 now and an economics major. So not just a random -blam!- hater. I mean, I and those who agree with me, we REALLY got slapped in the face- HARD. I thought my friends and I would be able to bust out Halo 2 when we are forty, and still have a good time. That dream is crushed and i'm never going to be able to experience what would be AMAZING nostalgia.

Bungie: Obviously the thought of remaking Halo CE and/or 2 is in your thoughts, and I would like to say to NOT bring it back IF it is not as good as the original: Smooth (perfect, like it was) gameplay is an absolute requirement. But if it came back, I would pay up to probably 200$ for it on low income, and probably up to 1000$ if I had the cash. Obviously, the cheaper it is, the more people buy it, and the better it becomes with more people. But you know. Just to give you an idea of the market demand.

And people, if we want Halo 2 back, we can do it. Just gotta show Bungie that there is a high demand for it. If Bungie thinks they can make more money per hour by simply reproducing Halo 2 instead of spending a lot more money to create a new game, SURE ENOUGH we will see Halo 2 come back to life.

Anyways thanks for listening.

Halo 2 Server being shutdown was definitely a bad decision. I, myself, would have played Halo 2 even after Halo3, Halo3Odst, and Halo:Reach all came out..why?..because it was, and still is a great game. I agree that the only reason the servers were shutdown is because along with me, there would have probably been MILLIONS doing the same..so to get us to stop playing Halo 2..the servers were turned off. That way we would be FORCED to play the other Halo games, or not play them at all..which its easier said than done to just quit Halo..its a great game series, but they weren't justified in their decision to shut down the server in my opinion. I vote yes, and with a strong assertive yes, because even with all of the current Halo games out there..I'd play Halo 2 again and get my rank back and enjoy everything that I used to, just like when I was in high school, and the reason why I got xbox live was because of Halo 2. I'd play it every day online if I could, but am I able to?..No..why?..because of an unjustified, poor decision.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Kids, you can still play h2x on XBC or Xlink Kai. Or get the "HD" PC port.

Kid everyone knows H2 best on Console over XBL.
