i ask you micrsoft, what was possibly your most popular xbox title that had multiplayer on it? Halo 2, and it was a sad day when it was shut down, and xbconnect and xlink kai arent really good replacements, they just let us do systemlink basically, and not the actual Multiplayer experience. And on the last possible day that it was playable, it was flooded with populatin, it was huge, so, why get rid of the game entirely like it never happend. so this is what i propose that they should do.
These forums are not the "Beg to MS" forums. The only reason they were flooded on the last day was because people thought the shutdown was going to be like the PSU Demo shutdown, with a sudden outage. It wasn't, so you had the last man standing fest all the way to the end.
Halo 2 is currently the only game to not be on games on demand, and has no place on xbl at all right now.
There were 966 games released for the Xbox. Out of those, 478 work on the 360. And out of those, only 32 were released on GoD. So not all are on there.
We all know that microsoft wants a lot of money right? and they have all of the control over the halo series as well.
I propose they do this, make the halo 2 Multiplayer experience as an Arcade game, by doing this, it wont have campaign (yes i know a lot of people still like the campaign but itd make it a lot harder to be an arcade game, and if you need it that bad, get the vista or find an xbox original version)
I could say the same about all those people who want MP that bad.
"STOP MAKIN THREADS AND PLAY PC HURR DURR"
now that would significantly reduce the size of the download and give it just the multiplayer part, which is what the majority of people want. Now the part i would hope they do is just give us all the maps at one time (unless they decide to be super greedy and make the maps as dlc and make us pay for them)
since it would be an arcade game and not an xbox original, it wouldnt have to go on those servers, but a whole new set of servers.
Thing is, an XBLA release would cost money to release and port, and then no one would play it. Remember CoD Classic? No one does because it didn't sell like BO or MW2. But if you want remakes 5 times a week, then you should join the SqEnix fandom. They remake crap 20000 times a day.
Oh, and one more thing:

i unfourtanetly missed the last day, but i heard it was astounding
If you never played in a while, it was "zOMG NOSTALGIA DONT SHUT DOWN MS!!!". But if you had been playing Original Xbox Live recently (like I had been), then it felt like just another day.
