You used to, but i think last November was the last month to play it online. They had a big thing about it and how a few gamers left their xbox's on for days still in a custom game macth even when they left for work. They were the last ones to be left on Halo 2. Bungie allowed them to go on, since they didn't end the macth on schedule.

Life is only for an hour. After that hour, life begins.

It ended on exactly April 15, 2010 at 12:00 Midnight. I should know. I kept playing and that was the true scheduled end date.

Not unless they remake it like they're doing with CE

i know right, i really hope they remake halo 2 again. it was the pinnacle of the halo series for me, infact any multiplayer game for that matter. HALO 2 Anniversary to be released on the 11th of October, 2014?

Hopefully... Fingers crossed

Estis, ergo sum.

I don't care about a remake with "improved" graphics. I'd be happy if they just continued supporting the games they already have out...

R.I.P. Halo 2

- B( )B

I wouldn't play many other games if Halo 2 was given a fresh coat of paint and put back online with the same matchmaking system.

If I understand you correctly, then the answer is no as well. It has always been with original Xbox games that the 360 dashboard does not function, but since they took off the playability of original live, everything pertaining to XBL when playing the original Xbox games no longer functions, and believe me, I know how you feel.

The best thing to do if you wish to be connected to people with playing would be to either have an Xbox and a 360 together, using the Xbox to play and the 360 to chat, or to simply utilize XBC or Kai.

Bon Voyage mon ami (In your ventures.)

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.

If you want to play live on Halo 2, then buy/play Halo 2 vista. While it is a joke of a port, it still works just fine on xbox live. If you want to play online on the xbox version, then use xlink kai or xbox connect.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

For crying out loud. Do you fellows have to argue with one another? The lad asked a simple question.

I totally wish that Halo 2 comes back from the dead, but i highly doubt it. As you guys know, bungie wont be continuing the halo franchise anymore, so they wont even think about putting halo 2 up again. dont believe me entirely because im just a moron.
