In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

uh.....

I, yeah, Bungie can't do that and this isn't even the forum to request that.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

In short, no.

Use Xbox Connect.

Why not!?!?!?

Halo 2=Original Xbox Live game.
Original Xbox Live Servers=Shut down permanently by Microsoft.
So no.

Wow......that's so stupid. Is there anyway they could somehow transfer the old halo 2 server to a new one? Or, better yet, do you think it's possible halo2 could be remade to work on the 343 servers and get enhanced graphics?

...no. Halo 2 was designed to work on Original XBL servers, and those got shut down. It could be remade, but that's very unlikely.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

1.) Original Xbox Live has been shut down, so you would have to contact Microsoft about that.

2.) . . .

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

what a dark, sad day it was when we parted ways with Halo 2...

Now I need my mommy.

Thanks for reminding me. ;)

"Spartans never die, they're just missing in action." So you're telling me that after you get shot in the head, blow up a ship while inside, get stabbed by an Energy Sword, and drive a Pelican into a Scarab and clearly blow up that; you're not dead, but just 'Missing in Action'?

That was not Bungie's choice to shut them down, it was Microsoft's choice. On April 15th of last year, all of the original Xbox titles were shut down, including Halo 2.

Half Horse.
Half Machine.

I don't think it's that unlikely at all; a lot of people keep asking for it and I'm sure both Microsoft and 343 are aware of that fact. They're probably waiting to see how CEA fares first and then they're going to weight whether or not the demand and potential profits warrant the production costs/time.
