Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE to be disabled on April 15, 2010

Today Microsoft announced that as of April 15th they discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games (i.e.Halo 2). This includes Xbox v1 games being played on an Xbox 360. You can read the official news post [url=http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/02/05/xbox-live-being-discontinued-for-original-xbox-consoles-and-games.aspx]HERE.[/url] To everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 for it's 5+ years of dominance on Xbox LIVE, we thank you! It is of course sad for any of us to accept the end of an era but it's been a good ride. That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th we're going to hit Halo 2 en masse for one last HOORAH, old school style.

  • na its probably because the 360 came out and they wanted to improve their xbox live on the 360 lets they bring xbox live back when they decided they were going to get rid of it I was rather dissapointed [Edited on 10.01.2011 9:44 PM PDT]

  • the server that hosted halo 2 is probably outdated and scrapped, there is no way they are gonna host it again unless they use one of their current servers if they have any spare which is unlikely. its a dream that is just not gonna happen

  • Why did I only just find out about this last night? I am devastated that I will no longer be able to play halo 2 online! Awesome job by those hardcore fans that kept the server open until the 11th of may 2010 though. I have my memories and no one can take those away.

  • It wasn't Bungie's decision to shut down the matchmaking servers for Original Xbox games, it was Microsoft's. You should take it up with them.

  • Ha yeah at least i it for vista and besides its cheap on the pc its only, what 13$ and theirs some good game controlers that are cheap so look at the bright side everyone, their no shutting it down for the pc and i seriously hope they never will because then it will become something that pretty much everyone has but it will be practically worthless so Bungie and Microsoft please dont shut it down on the pc, ever because halo 2 is the best but i dont know maybe halo 4 is going to be the best well that is if the rumors are true about the halo 4 so all im asking is to keep halo 2 up for the pc and make halo 3 for the pc too if you do shut down number 2 and even if you dont alot of us want halo 3 for the pc too so thanks by the way halo is the best game series ever. <------ my opinion.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LazyJuggalo As a long devoted halo 2 player I have to chime in this life after death thread in here. Halo 2 to me is still THE game that got me into xbox. I'm almost 26 so I won't say it's the best game of all time I grew up with Mario Bros and Sonic and all the other classic consoles. Still this game was the ONLY reason I wanted to buy an xbox in the first place. The first time I played this I was hooked. The maps and weapons were perfect and of course the online experience of killing people that would try to talk trash or just annoying players put icing on the cake. I finally decided to pick up halo 3 even though it's 4 years late and it's just not the same. Halo 3 is a good game in itself but it doesn't have that spark that Halo 2 did for me. H2: every single map I had a fun time in. H3 all the maps are ridiculously huge and it's always the same maps chosen on the playlists. Plus you also have the option to vote for a different game that takes away the anticipation of having a suspenseful game. H2 was simply always chosen at random so you never knew what to expect. It's the one game Microsoft should give all the credit to the world for keeping their Xbox alive. I don't even think the 360 would've been a success without Halo. Hell I know that for a fact because H2 was always the top selling game. So many great memories with this game from coming back and winning when your teammates leave to getting killamanjaros and killing combo medals. The ranking system itself got me so addicted. My buddy and I use to always play TS to get our ranks up. The different colored icons with the rank number just felt satisfying to try and raise it up. In H3 it's simply garbage. I don't even know why Team SWAT is ranked in that game that's a joke. I would donate money if I could and I'm sure a LOT of players would donate a few bucks if Bungie would re-release this on 360 to make it playable online. The online experience and fun times will always be what made Halo special I never ever cared to play the campaign. Tea-bagging people and trash talking is the one thing that made it so special. You can still tea-bag in H3, but with the party limit timer there will never be those classics carnage reports were the players wait for everyone to leave and you just sit back listen to other players talk -blam!- to the other. H2 will always hold a special place for me. Microsoft you can go to -blam!- hell and -blam!- six ways from sunday with the devil itself. [/quote]That was a great read, but some paragraphs would help out a lot lol.

  • I wish I played Halo 2 online...I was without XBL for most of the time and when I found out you could actually play original xbox live games online (I didn't realise xD) I then had to download all the map packs, which seemed to spend forever downloading :( Don't get me wrong, I've played every single Halo Game (except the pc versions) and I absolutely love the series, but i'm gutted I never got chance to experience the game that put XBL on the map...oh well...
