  • I don't think I have quite 17,000 games logged, but I still play Halo 2 at least once a week be it online, or just LAN at my friends house since he has 2 TV's in his basement, we will still fire up the old Xboxes and do some 2 on 2 or 4 v 4. I know why Microsoft doesn't want to keep original Xbox games running on their service, but it is a shame because a lot of times it is hard to get 4 or 8 people together in a room for a couple of hours, online solves that because you can jump on with just one or two of your buddies at a time and if only for a few matches. I am going to keep playing up until April 15th, 2010, but it is weird that they are only giving like 3 months notice on the subject. I would have thought it would have been a year or at least 6 months. Pretty sudden if you ask me. What really would be nice, and I would slap down $20 or $30 bucks for it if you just ported Halo 1 and 2 to the Xbox 360 and then added online for the original Halo. Now I am not sure if you could do this because you have both Halo:CE and Halo 2 clocking in at about 3 gigs and 4.5 gigs, respectively which would fit, but now you factor in all the DLC for Halo 2 and then you would be cutting it close.
