Play Halo 2 Vista then. It's way better than Halo 2, anyways.

Um.....Red name tag??

One reason I think cause the servers were still up and no one really played original Xbox online. Most people played Xbox 360 now so there was really no point on having the original Xbox servers up.

yea not much ppl played original xbox games but why stop all, why not just the ones ppl dont play anymore. i was on halo 3 the other day and not that much ppl play it anymore, but if halo 2 servers were still up i bet there would be more ppl on halo 2 multiplayer than halo 3 multiplayer and i garantee that 100%.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Ummm, back in the day, when it was still running, H2 was down to 500-600 people. It was deadz. Far more people play H3 now then H2 pre-shutdown.

All the Xbox 1 games were dead.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Yes why do people fantasize that Halo 2 had population numbers it didn't. It barely ever hit 2,000 (24 hours) even after the whole you get free live and microsoft points for playing.
