Subject: Halo 2 is Dead

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Im afraid to say this... But Halo 2 is dying out fast. The lone people who still play it (Like me, grumpy and totallymassive, joe campbell) are some of the last of a dying breed. Its like holding a gun to god's head (Metaphor alert!) If we play dirty microsoft will never do it, if we place they wont do it either. Like I said in my metaphor, It will accomplish nothing. ALl I can say its been a good run, could have been longer, but campaign are the only memories we have left...

Halo 2 for Life!

I like to think it's in a slumber.
It will be released again!

Also, people still play on Kai, Connect, and PC. Most games don't have these (but most games are not the best video game in history).

It won't be easy waiting to play something that is so fun but that we must do.


Some might feed on your suggestion that Halo 2 is dead so avoid the word dead or other such words because to a lot of us it's still alive we are just a fragmented group of Halo 2 fans all over different threads and sites. There is also a large community of Halo fans that enjoy halo 2 as well as other halo's so it has the potential to grow again if the right service is created.

I mean it is the best in the series so of course if it was released again the community would embrace it and play it but probably not as much as a new release because of others preconceived notions of inferiority of "old" things lol or for other reasons.

Halo 2 is in a slumber, I agree. But it's in a slumber because Microsoft crippled it, took away it's best feature, and left it. The halo 2 fans were loyal and remained online for almost a month. But as time passed, people left it. Only 343 or some nice guys at Microsoft can pick up the tatters of halo 2, and rebuild upon it's foundation. I have heard 343 is making a new halo 2, but there is only one halo 2 for me. Also I'm loping right now because what I just wrote on my iPod is so dramatic.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Finally someone woke up and saw it. It was dying before the shutdown. It won't ever come back ever. The only people on kai are colombians who picked up a grey market NTSC xbox (since 360s are more expensive for some reason in south america), and couldn't play live when it WAS running due to the fact that either they didn't support Colombia for live pre-shutdown, or the fact that they couldn't afford it/didn't want to pay.


It's true, h2 is dead, most people are moving on to other things in life, and the reason people jumped on all at once, well, let's just say nolagista goggles. Not everyone missed it, a lot of people also hated it.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

I may play this game again, when the Xbox1 emulator is finally able to run LTCG games like Halo 1 and Halo 2. :D

I missed my chance to play it online as I didn't have live at the time. Damn shame really, I want that Halo 2 nameplate so bad...

If only there was another way...

Mission Statement.
_______________

[H2E] "Halo 2 Extremists" is a group of people who want Halo 2 remade for the Xbox 360. We will fight our good fight and promote Halo 2 as it was, one of the best Halo games ever made. We want Halo 2 to be either an Xbox Arcade game or remade as a whole new disk compatible for Xbox 360 servers.

Halo 2 was an Xbox Original that made Xbox Live.
Back in the old days, Xbox Live didn't have a friends list, nor messages and clans to communicate with players you knew well and grew a bond with.

Halo 2 wasn't only a game, it was a place where peiople in the online gaming community could make friends and do more than just shoot to kill. Back in the Halo 2 days people would play custom games like zombies, tremors, 300, warthog wars, hide and seak, kill the fat kid, boxing, and cops and robbers.

Back in Halo 2, there were many glitches which didn't ruin of effect the gameplay at all, in fact, it made it better and made the game more skill-wise. To defeat some players you would have to learn how to BxR or BxB and the ranking system wasn't so easily achieved.

Hell, back in the Halo 2 days, a rank 30+ was considered good, if you were rank 24+ you were considered a pretty good player and you would rarly see at rank 40+.

Back in Halo 2, people would mod, and you have to admit, modded custom games were pretty damn fun.
Flying that warthog around and playing challenge mods like the Donkey Kong mod (ect) were a blast!

Halo 2 was by far the funnest Halo game with the most memories that you will remember for a long time. I'm sure most of you can think back to the times where you got outside of the map for the first time, or met a modder, or found a cool easter egg, or played a fun custom game, or had a laughable moment in the pre-game lobby (ect)

All we want is Halo 2 remade so we can play it online on the Xbox 360 servers.

I hope this message has touched your hearts, as Halo 2 did ours. When Halo 2 went offline it felt like a loved one has perished, bring back Halo2, I know you can.

Fight with me, for Halo 2.

Message my gamertag, "Xx XiLD xX" to talk to me personally if your interested.

What would you expect? I mean really its dying out fast.. as new stuff comes in and gets introduced in our worlds of video gaming, surely there will be no room for the old stuff. The new era of gaming has landed and there is nothing we can do about.. Even our special favorite classic are all gone..
We just have to get used to.. but limiting a user to enjoy he's old classic won't exist.

Gaming is good, even better when it's upgraded.

PS3 and XBOX still battling for the same issues.. which one wins? well its up to you to find out.. check out this link
