Why?

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

First off, they shut down all original xbox games.

Second, they were dying. Battlefront II, the #2 game, only had under 10 people on at once, while the #10 game, Burnout 3, was completely dead. You would have to wait for matches.

Halo 2 was dying as well, with most of the population consisting of Xbox 360 players trying to play Halo on the cheap (this was when Halo 3 still was expensive before it was a Platinum Hit) and cheapasses who couldn't afford a 360. So they could make service improvements that the Xbox 1 was holding back, they shut it down.

Halo 2 for Life!

Option 1, Money... A cost cutting measure. Eliminating halo 2 allowed for "progress" and allowed them to forget about backward compatibility issues that were supposedly starting to happen.

Option 2, A righteous need to piss of its halo 2 fans and community. lol.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

At the very least, I would LOVE to see an xbox originals release for Halo 2 with full online, sure it would annoy people, but I'm sure they could figure out a way to link the Xbox Original stats with the re-released version for arcade.

Many will enter, only one will rise to the top and he might not even win....

You know how expensive the original XBOX LIVE servers were? Microsoft got rid of their servers because hardly anyone played original XBOX LIVE games anymore.
