How many people are playing the game at this moment on average? I want stats...

I don't mind having to deal with all of the games problems and annoyances as long as there is a solid day to day population.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

I would say not as much as there should be, but what to expect, Microsoft and Bungie didn't bother saying Halo 2 Vista even existed, people had to find out for themselves.

Also, the fact it doesn't have matchmaking or Microsoft and Bungie's support is what deters people from buying this game.

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

It didn't get one at all. Most h2x gamers either had crappy XP pcs with intel graphics, or hated h2v mainly due to the fact it wasn't on the 360.

As for xbc...it's still dead. And xlink kai is still lockout mexicans.

Most of the people who played on the shutdown probably just moved on.

Halo 2 for Life!

Kai is your best bet for online game play. I cant get on because of my router... But anyways their are still alot people that play H2 offline (campaign and such), I think once a year Halo fans should defeat H1 and H2 campaign, to make it a challenge maybe add a skull or two. Also off map exploring and land games still occur but really only in big cities with large halo fan bases.

End of a era in terms of H2 really, Online went down and now it's offline chapert has started (which is sad because even really old games like space invaders is two player over the internet now but current games like Halo1 and Halo2 are not...).

A new era will begin in a few years with even better online enable H2 hopefully the new system they are creating is backward compadible with H2 and makes it so H2 can be played again online over xboxlive (it's the least they could do to save face after removing one the best depth games of all time on XBL the legends of its great online play are all true!).
Reward your loyal community that played for so long on H2 by making it one of the games that will have backward compadiblity, from the xbox on the new system your creating and make it only capible.

MS won't make Halo 2 playable online again. This is why. Note this was back in 2009. You guys were lucky they didn't shut it down sooner, thanks to the 360.

If you think the support cycle is bad, it could be worse. MS dumped support for versions of windows nobody used, such as NT for Alpha, Mips, and PPC (NT4 had folders for those, but nobody used them). And MS is also dropping support for Windows on IA-64, another platform nobody uses.

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.

Nowadays when I play it, no. But it could be just be me and my bad choice of timing of when to play. I usually play Halo 2 vista around now, when I am not doing hw or studying for finals for college.
