You should have turned right at Albuquerque, that's where you lost it I believe.

Why did they shut down halo 2 anyway?

  • 01.13.2012 1:35 AM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Because it was costing Microsoft precious money

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

I believe if they reopened halo 2 servers they would make some money off the people buying the game again, but yeah it was costing money for them to keep up with the Halo 2 server.

Yeah maybe... if they heard our begging, and if they kept old dead server lying around for years.

I want Halo 2 back, or at least a Halo 2 Anniversary w/ Multiplayer

For Carnage Apply Within - We played Marathon before Marathon was cool!

Keep it authentic...

No point in bagging for it back, M$ used the servers to run Kinect and new features for Xbox Live.

They could just put a new server up... They're really not that expensive at all...

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

There's one thing that keeps me going and that's karma.

As I have seen what happens to crustaceous cheapskates (that includes Precursors) with their diabolical plots, I am persuaded M$ endeavors will go to waste and they'll find themselves regretting shutting down Halo 2... and releasing that terribad Reach demo (now that's unforgivable).

Is it even possible for the servers to be put back up?

Yes. Will they? No.

I would be happy to see Halo 2 return on Xbox Live, but M$ simply won't do it. Halo 2 Vista still has Live but it's not the same...save for organised game nights which are still fun.

I'm sure they're cutting it off as soon as the end of it's official support comes around later this year.

All original Xbox titles can't be supported online because Microsoft does not have enough server space. I really wish 343i could set up some private servers for Halo 2.

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

Shut along with all the dead original Xbox games....nobody wanted to pay, and lots of people were softmodding kids.
