PROUD ELITE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to know and I hope it never happens cause I like it better than reach.

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.

Halo 3 functions on the same console as Reach. For it to go down, Reach would have to go with it.


Halo 2 was taken down because M$ didn't want to pay the $50 to maintain Halo 2. All original live support was taken down.

What bewilders me is that M$ doesn't bring Halo 2 back into the Games on demmand (Like they did with CE) and function the online for it on a 360 server.

I'd say it's because Bungie and Microsoft want to keep people playing Reach. Releasing Halo 2 with online would get a lot of people leaving Reach for a 6 year old game, how would that look?

Halo 2 was taken down before Reach came out....

How does that make what he said untrue?

He states they took it down because they wanted people to stay with Reach, but as it hadnt even been released (The beta hadnt either) then his statement makes no sense

That's not what he said, though. He said the reason they're keeping it off the GoD is because it would compete with Reach (which may or may not be true, doesn't matter).
