Its because the servers were turned off in April 2010.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Look in the stickies.

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.

Live support for all original xbox games has been shut off as of last year. If you want to play online with friends then play through xlink kai or xbox connect.

I was there for the glory days of Combat Evolved. I was there when Halo 2 was hyped up and met the hype. I was there for the first days and last days of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I was there for the Halo 3 days, the great Lag Age of 2008-2010. I was there to laugh and not buy ODST, I was there to vomit when Reach implemented reticle bloom. I am a Halo veteran, and a Halo legend.

and the last horse finally crosses the finish line...

Halo 2 for Life!

The way to fix this is to hack the XBL server... lol. Than delete the COD server and insert the H2 server.

The much longer way is to phone XBL say I want halo 2 back and wait 5 or so years or something...

The truth is they shut down the server to make room for new XBL content that never really came.

They also hurt their base of halo fans, as the majority enjoyed playing a verity of halo games.

Also new halo fans that wanted to try halo 2 on XBL lost out and you never want to make your fans think they lost out...

I heard the PS4 is coming out in a few years, maybe halo fans will vote with their feet and buy that system over the future xbox system.

Lets hope they change their ways quickly and bring it online but right now you'll be getting that "cant connect to Xbox live" message because Halo 2 no longer exists on XBL.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

where in gods name have you been?

If I can I would love to send a message to microsoft asking where these updates went when they took down the servers. Then swear a million times and get real life banned from sending anymore mail to them.

Halo 3>Reach.

Armor Lock doesn't belong in Halo.

Please tell me that you're kidding.
