I wonder, Do anyone believe that someday, there will be some kind of temporary allow us old-school H2 fans to play online again? Actuly, I myself was never able to play online, but by the time I was suposed to be able to, Bungie took down Live for H2.. What do you other fans think?

Bungie didn't take down Halo 2.

Bungie doesn't/didn't ever control that.

Microsoft alone is entirely responsible for Halo 2 and the other Xbox originals being shutoff. This should be stickied.

A huge chunk of me died inside when the world of halo 2 stopped. But, i will always have those memories until the day i die/stop gaming.

I sure as hell hope that there is some kind of reactivation of the servers. But, did they not deactivate the old servers to help improve the new Xbox live service? If so, they probably would have already started to utilize and upgrade the old servers all ready to make xbox live a better service.

Rumours said it was to allow for a bigger friends list. I disagree with this and im pretty sure this was disproven. If anything from a business and economic perspective, it was costing them money to keep the original XBL servers up, when only a couple of hundered (thousands when the shutoff was announced) were using it.

I like to think that everything happens for a reason and always try to look for the reason as to why this happened. I wish that there was an offical reason released as to why this happened. But if you are right wilis_kid, which I think you might be, then an annoucement of that calibre might cause a huge outburst of anger towards microsoft. I just hope that the sacrifice of halo 2 online was not in vain!
