With most of the original Xbox games being made unplayable on the 360 from the updates from microsoft, I wanted to know whether Halo 2 is part of the games that cannot be played on the 360 now or ones you still can play, although I do know about the server shutdowns, I have an urge to play it offline again(BTW, the last time I played this awesome game was in 2005, I think).

Yes, you can still play the game offline.

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

If you use xlink kai, you can keep playing. And no, the 30ms limitation doesn't apply to xbox 1 games, so you can play halo 2 online over that.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

You can play campaign and system link on the xbox 360, though you need to have a hard drive on your 360 for the emulator to work. To play halo 2 online through system link use xbox connect or xlink kai.

Uh, I don't think I have the emulator for it, and I believe you can't download it anymore so, would that mean I can't play it?

I am planning to go through the trilogy again with my girlfriend, so I'd like to know also if I'm wasting my money renting Halo 2.

Why rent?! Buy!!!

I didn't see it anywhere to buy, but found 2 copies for rent. Anyway, I still need to know if I can download the emulator to play it.

You can play just fine. I bought a new hard drive and when I put in halo 2 in it worked just fine after an update.
