R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Sorry bud, it's not going to happen. There may be a remake someday, but you will never be able to play your Xbox Original with the original Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE ever again.

This isn't something they can still reverse without spending a lot of money.

I agree 100% man. Sadly in reality, its not going to happen.

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.

I agree it should be back, but most likely its gonna be a while or not at all. Most likely they gonna remake Halo 2, for better or worse, come a few years from now.

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

The only way it would come back on is if someone made a private server. And if it was possible, it would have happened 6 or 7 years ago as an alternate modder network. All the real modders just found it easier to use Kai.

The low level hardcoded APIs will never be updated, and no one gives a crap about the xbox 1. The last xbox 1 game (Madden 09) sold poorly.

Bring it back Halo 2 (PC) isn't as good.

  • 01.27.2011 12:46 PM PDT

definately agree

  • 01.27.2011 4:33 PM PDT

One of the best games not only of its time, but one of the best games ever, especially in terms of online multiplayer. You've got my vote.

Here's something to think of for all the people who want it back.....

If you want it back, then why don't you stop making "I want it back MS" posts and just make your own server. MS isn't going to bring it back, and all you need is out there. If you wanted to you could make your own server. It would be hard, but it's possible.

Or just do it easy and use XBC and Kai and the PC port. After all, you would need to modify the game coding, which is too much for a 10 yr old bnet kid who's mom won't buy them a 360. And to do it, you would also need to code a lot of stuff, and all the people who would help are too busy with these. Oh wait, those people are too dumb to code.

But the thing is, no one would really want to put the money into that because no one would be willing to spend money. Also, who would really be on these private servers. I mean, how many people would really go through this? A couple hundred? I agree that Halo 2 multiplayer should be brought back, but the problem is, severs cost money, and it would be unfair to Microsoft.

Although, it could be a good idea...but maybe take the most popular games on xbox live and bring back the multiplayer servers for them as well. So in all fairness, Halo 2 would be up there along with other great games of the time.

  • 01.29.2011 5:10 PM PDT

I agree completely that halo 2 should be brought bak! Id do just about any thing to get that game up and running

Not just time, but money. Everyone uses XBC and Kai instead, as it's easier and cheaper. And you would need to write the software too.

Kids think "Oh look let's beg MS", that's impossible. You would need to either reverse engineer or hack the client.

However would it not also give them money because more people would go out to buy it and the more people playing it would give them more money.

Far fewer people will give them money. People were paying $8 a month, until they lost enough subscribers. And this is why there will be no private servers. The game is PSO Xbox, which shut in 08.


The Xbox version requires a connection through Xbox Live. With all the "discussion" about it, there's been no method of connection discovered so far. The only possible methods we have thought of are:


Create our own XBL server (M$ would sue us, so we can't do this)

Pay M$ to put the XBL server back up and link to us (M$ wouldn't want one of their games to link to an unofficial server, so we can't do this)

Alter the game's executable completely and strip all XBL data from it so it would connect directly, essentially turning PSOX into PSOGC running on an Xbox with no voice chat ability and no gamertags (nobody is smart enough to make these kinds of changes, so we can't do this)

State the fact that you're willing to pay extra for H2 online then microsoft might act quicker than you think.

Halo 2 is for the PC too isn't it? We could play online on there.

They could make a multiplayer disc only and sell it for $40 or less.

Yes, i agree with you. Bungie has to realize that there are many people who don't like Halo Reach and liek playing it old school. I mean Halo Combat Evolved is on the XboxLive MarketPlace...just add Halo2 and have the same old fun original multiplayer back.

  • 01.31.2011 7:43 PM PDT

i agree, ive been doing a lot of reading and theres a pretty large following on this issue Ms should re-realse the online multiplayer for 1200 ms points bcz theyll make even more money bcz you would need to by an extra 400 points or whatever, reached sucked. and to make it right they should do this.
