Subject: Bring Halo 2 XBOX LIVE Back :(

~TjL~

I miss playing Halo 2 with my boys. Game was almost perfect in my opinion. It took skill to play and custom games were #1. I miss the good old days and everytime I look at my Halo 2 case just sitting there collecting dust I feel like I'm doing an injustice to my past and my wallet (i did pay for the xbox live feature after all). Good game, good times. Would love to see it make say.. a one week reappearance? Call me Crazy. BRING IT BACK

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

You really miss Halo 2? then buy Halo 2 Vista?

Halo 2 Vista is still online, it does not have any account restrictions, Silver and Gold are alike on Games for Windows Live.

Also Halo 2 Vista has achievements

It supports the Xbox 360 controller.

If you have a PC, think about buying Halo 2 Vista instead of using tunnelling software, Halo 2 Vista is more closer to the original Halo 2 Online experience, system link cannot even compare.

If you don't buy this game then you never missed Halo 2, and I find you insulting.

On silver you can't do anything but go to the server list. No matchmaking/hosting/whatever the third option is (Forgot)

Also, some people might not have a good enough computer to play it on? There are many things that may get in the way of them playing h2v. You can't assume that they all have great PCs

You seem outdated.

Silver accounts can do anything they want on PC games, they did away with Pay to Play at 2008,


There are DX 11 GPUs that are like under $100, and also THERE IS no matchmaking to begin with, only a browser list of Dedicated servers and peer hosts.

I can assume whatever I want, If they cared so much about Halo they would buy the requirements.

I even bought Xbox 360 (multiple times) for Halo 3/ODST and Reach.

I have silver, just got done playing a match, and I can only look on the server list.

Edit: Nvm, you're right. I just tried and it lets me. For some reason it still says that they're locked for me, but it just lets me use them. Thanks for making me realize that though xD

Edit 2: Also, people might not have enough money to buy new crap for their computer (Like me, I'm broke) I couldn't even afford to buy a $20 graphics card at the moment.

1. Those are just redundant icons, locking servers on Gold account only means nothing now.

2. Also what you have told me, maybe same or different for others.
