If the possibility arose, that one day Micro$oft announced that they're would be an option to play old Xbox Live games Online once again for an additional fee on top of Xbox Live Gold membership.

Would you pay Extra for this service?

Halo 2 for Life!

Yes, up to 10 dollars a month would be fine. After that it would be feeding the greed lol and I would be less in favor.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

1. MS wouldn't make enough money to support it.
2. Here is why there will never be a private server, use xbc/kai instead:

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)






They were referring to PSO Xbox, which was shut down in 08. If it would have happened, it would have happened.

tl;dr, it's illegal, MS won't support a private server, and it's too complex.

$120 extra dollars/year? We only pay $60 as it is, man.

120 a year to play the best game in history as it was intended to be! It is worth it. Now anything above that is overly greedy and I would draw the line their.

Are you crazy? That would have less people on then a empty MMO server.

Halo 2 will always be remembered..........

Whatever it takes to play the real Zanzibar CTF again.

haha their would be no way I would consider this. I love Halo 2 to death but the only way it would have any population is if it was remade. Yea if they brought the severs back the population would be good for maybe a month if that but then it would be back to whatever else for most gamers. Now if they brought it back and charged extra???? Yea..... no. I might pay if it was cheap for the first month as it would be the only month that had some population.
