Subject: Will you Buy PS4 due to the lack of support for old games like H2?

Halo 2 for Life!

Poll: Will you Buy PS4 due to the lack of support for old games like H2?  [closed]
Yes, PS4 all the way:  22%
(2 Votes)
No, Xbox 720 as it will screw old games again. :  78%
(7 Votes)
Wii2 for me:  0%
(0 Votes)
Total Votes: 9

I vote yes unless H2 is supported on XBL again. I refuse to buy a system that turns its back on its "old" games the way that Microsoft did. They should be ashamed of themselves for ruining the halo franchise forever (it will never be the same without H2 on XBL). H2 for life!

Note: In the poll "No, Xbox 720 as it will screw old games again" should say No, Xbox 720 as it will screw old games again and I like this a lot lol.

"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

You should try Cod 4 or MW2, that's what replaced H2 for me.

Nah. Campaign is fine. Halo 2 was actually my least favorite multiplayer-wise.

COD is very similar to the new Halo's to me (almost copies of each other lol) so to me their online gameplay is really bad.

H2 is the best online game of all time to me and it should be made available online forever! Kind of like Diablo or WC3.

Did you play BTB?
Because if you didn't you missed alot.

Where you a little kid when H2 was first out?
If you were you probably were made fun of alot and so wouldn't have liked it as much as those actually old enough to play the game legally (legally buy it).

The posts above me:

Your loyalty to Xbox is stronger than their loyalty to you. When they be pulling the plug on old games you enjoy they lack loyalty to those games and franchises and therefore they lack loyalty to you.

The Halo Franchise was ruined after H2 was lost on XBL, no longer would I buy any product from Bungie or any other halo game ever!

H2 brought so much to the halo franchise and removing it from the XBL service was the begging of the end for Halo and of Microsoft as a gaming company. I'm a little brash but that is what I think about this lack of loyalty by Microsoft.

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

1. Another push poll. You should work for a political ad committe, you could make some ads better then this one.

2. Yes, I would buy whatever the new xbox is. PS3 dropped other os and PS2 Backwards Compatability and memory card readers and support for 3rd party usb controllers and more. With the PS3, every firmware update is really a downgrade. Oh, and games get shut down a lot more often.

3. Wii/DS has shty online. Friend Codes FOR THE LOSE!

WTF? I was 12 when Halo: CE came out and that means I was 16 when Halo 2 came out. Were you talking about yourself?

Na, I'd be talking to you.

16 so you were a kid when it was out... lol.

You probably liked H3 and Hreach more just based on the fact you were older and more mature and able to handle trash talk more.

That's why Halo2 was rated 18+ from my memory. H2 online was a trash talking circus not fit for younger people as they would find it disagreeable and un-fun compared to older people, even if the quality of game was really good, you might still think it's bad (as you were probably trashed talked a lot).

Here is an example of some of the trash talking:

It was rated PEGI 16+, and BBFC 15, nub. Online play is not rated, due to all the d0ucheb@gs online.

Blababaaaa, go to rehab and get over Halo 2.

Halo 2 Vista is here if you need it. :D

  • 12.20.2010 5:45 PM PDT

Alright, you got me there, but it REALLY doesn't change much

Cash cow doesn't get the money, we don't get the milk

BUT if there had been at least 20,000 online everyday, THEN we would have somewhat of a case

but with only 5,000-10,000, ya still have no case

to be honest, YOU'RE kinda the one wanting to milk the game, look, we all love Halo 2. But let us give our old friend a peaceful rest

Halo 2 for Life!

Unique player weekly was around 20,000. The last day over 100,000 were online all at once with a couple hundread thousand unique users that weeks. Their was plenty of people wanting to play H2 online! I dont see your points as valid.

Most new games with online ability had way less users than H2.

fine then i'll deal my last card, which kinda sucks

Halo 2 on 360=not the same, lets not lie :/

Halo 2 revived without any updates= ok its the same

BUT think, Halo 2 turned back on would mean you have to turn on the server for the entire original Xbox, that means all the games would be turned on

Microsoft won't bring back the Original Xbox from the dead for 1 game, so you would have to have damm near ALL the games be pleaded for and have a lot of people play, and obviously we can't do that

Maybe, just maybe they can make a separate server for Halo 2, but i highly doubt it

Good point,

a new technology must be made for adapting H2 for the new system or some other advance has to be made. There is probably an easy way to do it but I think Microsoft didn't even attempt to save H2 on XBL.

If it was PS that had the rights to the Halo franchise (or if all gaming companies had access to it), this issue probably wouldn't have occurred.

we need to find a way to prove to Microsoft that people will play Halo 2 if it comes back on

question is, how do you convince Mr. money to make a new server?
