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.

  • I love that people still keep this thread alive, and if bungie dont get halo 2 with the ranking system and everything up I am going to get so depressed, I am even depressed now when I am playing halo reach with my team and we have nothing to fight for in the game. In halo 2 I had 46 legit in TS(we bridged from 44, but never cheated other than getting host) 41 in doubles, 37 in hardcore and so on and I was totally addicted to the ranking system and the game itself with doubleshot, BXR, glitching and everything. In my opinion it was perfect even with all the modders, superbounce, de-rankers and standbyers it made the game more exciting and gave variation for us MM pros we knew to get boxes to not get cheated and if they modded we stanbyed them. It was so much more than just playing halo 2. Saying i was addicted to the ranking system I still loved to play custom games for hours and I was even playing 1v1 with my friends for many hours just because Halo 2 was so much fun. my parents are divorced and back in the day I only had xboxlive at one of my parents place and the week whitout XBL was so long, but I still played campaign, I played outskirts on heroic for many hours just because I could get the sniper and BR off start and there where so many elites there so I practiced in campaign, and after the hunters beat down the door i restarted. I also played splitscreen with myself practicing doubleshot and BXR for hours alone. I dont know if anyone loved and still love the game like me, but my gaming life is about to end just because of halo 2 not being online, I have played halo 3 and reach both since it came out and untill end, but I am getting so depressed playing it when I think of halo 2, I even played halo 2 all day besides halo 3 untill it was over and went from level 28-40 in doubles with my friend without boxes when I was playing halo 3 actively. I am a top MLG player in EU with a 2nd place in the FFA and 3rd place in 4v4 under my belt, but I would quit my MLG career just to play this game. Now I stalk myself and my friends here on bnet on halo 2 and I remember almost everygame even tho I played 10 times more than I did in halo 3 and I had a 5 star as main rank and in MLG in halo 3. I WANT TO CARE ABOUT PLAYING AND RANKING AGAIN, GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK BUNGIE! Halo 2 fan from Norway, peace out. [Edited on 05.29.2011 5:56 PM PDT]

  • if they REALLY ended halo 2 because you couldnt have over 100 freinds on your freinds list then thats quite PATHETIC! Plus - WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER IF YOU CANT HAVE MORE THAN 100 Freinds On Your List?? Just Make ANOTHER account and ADD Them there, SIMPLE! Ugh! Idiots lol. OR you can WAIT For Bungie to make a POSSIBLE UPDATE that allows you to have up to 200 Freinds on your list or someting, its common sence, i dont get why people would complain over the limited amount of freinds on ur list? Lol Plus - Do you even Play with EVERY SINGLE ONE of that person on your list?? Doubt It! Lol Oh and also, IF Anything, If you were to invite all those freinds to a custom game, they total Amount you can have in one lobby is 32 Players [If i recall correctly lol] so ye, point proven. :)

  • exactly, well said my freind, well said. And the funny part is, you know how people usually trash-talk in games while playing halo 2 like old days? ye well IF They ever brought it back to Marketplace or something, most of the conversations in games wouldnt be arguing, more like "yo man, CAN YOU BELIEVE WERE PLAYING HALO 2 AGIAN?! DAMN! I Neva thought they would ever bring it back!" LOL so true, oh and matchmakin games would be MORE Intense after the 1st few months because people start to get on theyre gaming agian, and if its on the 360, it be so much harder to cheat, so ur mostly gunna level up LEGIT WISE. Nomore of that Circle- Jerking Crap [Boostin] lol but ye, were ALL still waiting for that day to come :(

  • Yep, you proved a GOOD Point, cause if anything - THATS What Bungie Might plan to do, release Halo 2 on marketplace but you need like proly a ridiculious 1600gp to play it lmao. I honestly dont care, long as they actually BRING it back, i miss the old days man, God, i cant believe they ended it. its not even Armagedon for Gods sakes! Lol I hope they do tho bring it to Marketplace or someting

  • ok imo i think that its BULL-blam!- That u have 2 KILL Halo like this, Like WHY discontinue the game knowing MILLIONS of people PAYED money to play it? WHY not just KEEP the damn servers running for atleast a month and see if people still wanna play it or not, and if not then yes u can completly shut it down, but dont ruin peoples gaming like this. seriously, i was a HUGE Halo fan, I Kicked ass in that game, until they had 2 remove halo2 online, like thats some serious messed up crap man. Imo i think they should look at how much that game SOLD and why Bungie is Now FAMOUS[bc of halo2!] Im hoping that they would MAGICALLY surprise us in 2011 and bring back Halo 2 Online,[Near September Hopefully] cause i STILL Wanna play that game, like Millions of others do! Imo i think the REAL Reason why they shut down halo 2 was because microsoft wanted more money[despite how much money bill gates already makes lol] they wanted more money so they told bungie "listen here, we'll make you even richer if you follow dis plan :P we shut down the servers for halo 2 [which means completly killing a game that made you BIG] and were releasing a new system called xbox360, which WILL sell, and then you guys can make Halo 3 and have it for the new console, THAT WAY - the consumers would HAVE TO BUY the CONSOLE($499) In Order to PLAY Halo 3($69.99) = MORE PROFIT$$" and of corse bungie hears "MORE PROFIT?? :O" lol so ye, dats just my honest opinion as to WHY They shut down the servers. Like what else can be the reason? wat, not enuff online players? Pfft! Theyres atleast over 200 THOUSAND that play DAILY! or is it tha fact that theyres too many cheaters?? Ok well WHY NOT BRING BACK Halo 2 For the 360 and see if they can cheat now, since microsoft LOVES to update their security system every month lol Any other reason as to why you had to shut down halo 2? not enuff money off the game? Pfft. Game sold 2.5 MILLION the day it came out, i waited in line for that! And Before you guys shut it down, might i add that people PAY Monthly Subscriptions to have Online!($59.99) So with that being said lol I REALLY Suggest Bungie to kindly look into the fact of bringing back Halo 2 servers atleast for a month or too, and Seee if people still play it as much or not. OR how bout you do one of your daily Plls that u have on your site saying "Would You Like To Be Able To Play Halo 2 Agian? Yes. Or No." And Check Out The Voting. If More Yes's Than No's, then im sure that speaks for itself. lol Im sorry for the long comment, but hey i had to speak for the Millions & MILLIONS out there that are disappointed because Halo will NO Longer be the same! UNLESS ..They magically Use the same Game pysics in halo 2 for the NEW Halo that god knows wen that will come out. lol like bring back the Auto-Aim, make the sniper rifle 4 shots continous, NOT having to pause inbetween every shot lol bring back the ALIEN sniper rifle, and have DL Content Maps, which features a pack that has ALL The Halo 2 maps. Oh and Surprise us with a NEW Map Pack that Has ALL The Halo - COMBAT EVOLVED Maps! Yay, im sure we all miss Snowbound, Bloodgultch, Chill Out, etc. That would TOTALLY Be sick! Oh and also, if you guys styll want to run halo 3, halo reach...WHY Not Run ALL 3 Halo games into 2 different servers? halo 3 + Halo reach into 1, and Halo 2 has its own servers! [Xbox Live Host Based so people DONT CHEAT! When xbox live is the host of every game, i think it be so much harder for ppl to cheat, think bout it ;)] so yea, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! :) So this concludes the end of my thoughts and opinion based on The End Of Halo 2 [And EVERY Other Halo lol] Hope Bungie Takes this into consideration because im pretty sure i have proved EVERY Point there is to prove. Ty & Best Of Luck :) Sincerly Yours, G M0NEY BABY$

  • well this sucks, the best online experience i ever had was with halo 2, and they just go and shut the servers down for no reason? this game needs to be released on the aracde with all the downloadable maps, it would be great! [Edited on 05.22.2011 6:24 AM PDT]

  • I heard it was because people were complaining because they couldn't have over a 100 friends. I think it was stupid that they had to destroy a gaming generation for a couple of people could have over 100 friends. But some people have found a way to play halo 2 online through system link and its FREE. I saw it on Youtube and I will put the exact title below Play Original Xbox/360 live games online for free without xbox live! Info in the description! ^Look it up on Youtube for classic gaming :).

  • bring it back to the market place! i know bungie sees all the people on this forum alone that would buy it, and i can guarantee you that if anybody else, on this forum or not, even heard of this, they would be on board too. that looks like plenty of profits to me! even make us re-buy the map packs. Everybody wins. we get halo 2 online multiplayer, and you make money!

  • Please do not report me or ban my X-Box live for this, but I have just gotten halo 2 and have not had X-Box LIVE until late 2010. It is my concern along with many other peoples' that I would like HALO:2 to be re-made for the X-Box 360 console or at least have the HALO:2 MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE put on the X-Box LIVE Game marketplace. It is a shame to have let such a great era end. We all would like to have played this. I think it is for the good of MICROSOFT(TM)-$$$$$- and the community. Thank you all for understanding.

  • QUESTION??? I am not sure if i am reading this correct, I have XBOX 360[S] Console, and a HALO 2 Disc, I Lost the Product key Code, and the owners player book, I just purchased this for my son to play online with matchmaking, capabilities, it was why i purchased it, because of the online gaming enabled thing. Im very disappointed, in the X Box Experience, and the live support the last two times , harassed me and never had an answer to this or another question regarding players restarting the game then being penalized for it... if the x box live service continues down this path, its time for a WII or something better out there. Perhaps Consumer Reports or Ripoff Reports will Respond better. Just Saying. and Second.... Does this mean, the online game is disabled for all X Box Consoles, or does this mean , only the online is disabled for xbox older consoles, or how does one get an update to make it work for saving ones progress , even with their profile?? I mean really. I thought False advertisement or grandfathered clauses meant something in the U.S. Hmmmm? What about all the places still selling this out there labeled online enabled gaming, really ! That is what is making the people purchase it still, which is false pretenses under the false advertising. Not cool, even under the update, theres not message of online disabled or discontinued. thats not cool. [Edited on 04.17.2011 6:10 PM PDT]

  • I can't believe that it has been most a full year since I've played halo 2 all day.....oh well, I still went out to the store to buy halo 2 Vista an April 15th last year (lol it sucks) but I have a feeling that bungie or 343 industries will hear from all us halo 2 fans and possibly bring back halo 2 I form of an Xbox arcade game or just a remake.
